Greeks Reject
Cyprus Peace
TrybyNATO
Want Direct Dealings
Between Britain,
Archbishop
NICOSIA, Cyprus Ml Greek
Cypriols and the Greek govern
ment have rejected a British-approved
offer hy NATO to mediate
(or peace on Cyprus.
British Colonial Secretary Alan
tennox-Boyd told the House of
Commons yesterday Iondon was
willing to let the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization try to settle
tie controversy over the strategic
British colonial island in the cast
Mediterranean. The plan was for
NATO to attempt conciliation
anions Britain, Greece and Tur
keyall NATO members.
Within hours, Greek and Greek
Cypriot leaders declared their op
position. No Turkish Reply Yet
There was no Immediate Turk
ish reaction.
Most ot the 400,000 Greek Cyp
riols want Cyprus united with
Greece. The 100,000 Turkish Cyp
riols oppose this.
Mayor Themisloclcs N. Dervis
(if Nicosia declared that "the
Cyprus prohlem is not one o( dif
ferences existing among the gov
ernments of Greece, Turkey and
Great Britain, hut one which af
fects the self-determination of Cy
prus. It should be settled directly
between Britain and Archbishop
Makarios, the representative of
the Greek Sypriot people."
Andread Pouyiouros, leftist
mayor of Famagusta. on Cyprus'
cast coast, said the Greek Ortho
dox archbishop should be freed
from his internment on the Scy-
chelle Islands "unconditionally in
order to resume negotiations with
the British government.
EOKA Offers Truce
EOKA, the Greek Cypriol un
derground, last week offered a
truce in its guerrilla war against
the British if the British would
end the archbishop's exile. Len-nox-Boyd
in reply told Parliament
Makarios would be freed immed
iately if he would call a halt to
the anti-British violence on Cy
prus, But he added tho- church
man could not return to the island,
where tho British claim he helped
direct the EOKA campaign.
In Athens, Greek Premier Con
stantino Karnmanlis in a state
ment attacked Britain's accept
ance of the NATO enunciliation
oftcr. He said it ignored a U. N.
General Asscmhly resolution,
Bdopted 55-0 on Feb. 26, calling
for resumed negotiations aimed at
attaining democratic, peaceful
conditions on the Island.

accused of receiving more than
$20,000 of union funds, it was re

planned to spring it on the pudgy

and their families.
"3. To pay tribute to the integrity

Nixon on Way
Home After 22
Days in Africa
VP Will Urge Greater
Economic, Technical
Aid to Continent
TUNIS l-Vice President Nixon
was flying home today from his
22-day African tour with recom
mendations lo increase U. S. eco
nomic and technical aid to coun
tries on the African continent.
He also wants better personnel
at American embassies, consul
ales and information offices.
Nixon took off in his special Air
Force plane after attending a
sports program celebrating Tun
isian first year of independence.
French Justice Minister Francois
Mitlerand, France's representa
tive at the program, left the sta
dium in a huff and flew back to
Paris when he found Algerian ua-
tionalist leader Ferhat Abbas
sealed nearby.
Mitterand and Nixon met at the
airport and chatted for 20 min
utes. Nixon reportedly told Ihe
Frenchman the Algerian-French
struggle could be resolved only
through peaceful means.
Nixon's recommendations t o
President Eisenhower on the basis
of the 18,000-mile African swing
probably will be kept private.
However, these appeared to be
the policies he favors alter visit
ing Ghana, Liberia. Ethiopia.
Uganda. Morocco. Libya, Sudan
and Tunisia:
1. A stepup in the U. S. eco
nomic and military aid, especial
ly to newly independent countries,
lo help them keep their individual
identity in the face of mounting
pressure to join rival blocs and
federations.
2. Greatly increased cultural
exchange programs to enable
more African leaders and students
to spend time in the United States.
3. An expansion of U. S. infor
mation activities, mainly by im
proving library centers. Nixon
considers them more effective in
building good will than Voice of
America broadcasts and publicity
releases.
4. A ' determined effort to
strengthen personnel in the em
bassies, consulates and informa
tion offices.

15-Month Tax
Extension Due
For House OK
WASHINGTON M - Sen. Byrd
(D-Va) said today House leaders
have agreed to go along with a
plan to increase from a year to
15 months an extension of present
rates on corporation and excise
taxes.
In view of this, Byrd told a re
porter, the Finance Committee he
heads undoubtedly will vote for
the longer extension to July 1,
1958. The House already has voted
an extension to April 1, 1958. Un
less Congress acts, Ihe business
lax rates will drop April I. cutting
revenues three billion dollars a
year.
Byrd said the longer extension
would have the advantage of mak
ing the tax dates correspond with
the government's fiscal years,
which start July 1, so that, "if
we ever can cut taxes, we would;
know just how it would affect the i
revenue.
Secretary of the Treasury Hum
phrey told Ihe Finance Committee
he would have no objection to the
15-month extension provided it did
not delay final action on the bill
beyond March 31.

Izvestia Calls
Bermuda Talks
British Danger
MOSCOW ifl Iivestia Thurs
day called the Bermuda Big Two
talks a "grave danger" to Brit
ain's interests. '
The Soviet government newspa
per said President Eisenhower
and Prime Minister Macmillan
evidently are trying to coordinate
their strategy "on the basis of
their common enmity" toward
communism.
The dispatch from Izvcstia's
London correspondent declared
powerful interests in Britain had
urged Macmillan to be firm in de
fense of "British imperialist inter
ests against encroachments of the
United States," particularly in the
Middle East. .
But in actual fact, Izvestia add
ed, "the vital national interests of
Britain demand a policy of peace
and security not participation in
backstage imperialistic conspira
cies and combinations."
"The characteristic feature of
the present course pursued by the
ruling circles of Britain." Ivestia
said, "is the absence of initiative
in this field and submissive trail
ing along in the wake of the
United Stales. In this respect the
Bermuda conference offers a
fresh, grave danger to Britain's
interests."

who lost both legs in a fall under
a freight car Feb. 10.
In a letter delivered this week
to Gerry Corkery, the President
encouraged the boy: "Please get
well soon." This was followed by
another "get well" message, giv-
en lo Gerry in the children's ward
of Episcopal Hospital, this one
from Sherman Adams, chief pres
idential assistant. With it was an
autographed picture of the Presi
dent. . The Eisenhower letter said: "1
know just how hard it is for an
active boy like yourself to face
the problems that you have, but
I am also completely confident
that you will courageously return
to your school and home routines.
"I like to think that there must
be compensations' in misfortune
such as yours, and, difficult as
it is for you to accept now, I am
sure you will discover many as
you grow older."
The President said he learned
about the accident from Rep.
James Byrne (D-Pal, whose fam
ily has been close to the Corkerys
for years.
Rockets Fired
InNo.Canada
To Test Winds
FT. MONMOUTH, N.J. -The
Army announced today it is firing
rockets from deep in northern
Canada to measure icy winds as
high up as 80 miles.
The experiments are expected
lo lead to more accurate predic
tions of cold weather during the
winter months. They were planned
by scientists of the U.S. Army
Signal Engineering Laboratories
here.
The Army said the first special
ly equipped "Aerobee" rocket
was fired lat Nov. 12 at Ft.
Churchill, Man. A series of nine
more launchings are scheduled
during the 1957-58 International
Geophysical Year, the first on
next July 19.
The Aerobee sprays 18 packets
of high explosives into the air at
pre-sct intervals during its as
cent. When the four-pound charges
explode, sensitive instruments on
the ground record the barely audi
ble blasts.
Scientists measure the time lag
between each explosion and the
arrival of the sound at the earth.
From this data they compute im
portant facts about the direction,
speed and temperature of polar
winds.
