Cyprus Troops Get Wartime Status Nicosia, Cyprus (U.PJ Brit ain today gave wartime status to 12,000 troops in this Mediter ranean island colony to crush savage terrorism which has kill ed six British soldiers m recent days. The orders put the seven bat talions now stationed in Cyprus on "active service." It is a meas ure which Britain has never taken in the Middle East in peacetime before, even at the height of anti-British disturb ances, in the Suez Canal Zone. British troops overseas are generally regarded as being on peacetime garrison duty with the exception of those in Korea and those fighting bandits in Malaya and Kenya. The order was yet another indication of the gravity with which the British view the mounting terrorism and follow ed imposition of a state of emergency. Bulganin's Talk Raps Portugal Madras, India (UP.) Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin made another open bid to woo India into the Communist camp today by denouncing Portugal for re taining colonies on the Indian subcontinent. There is "no justification by which any foreign country still has territory in India," Bulganin said. He noted in a speech that there are Portuguese colonies on this continent Goa, Daman and Diu and said "this is a shame for civilized people." There was loud applause and cheers from the Indian audience. There long has been agitation in India for Portuguese with drawals from the enclaves which Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru has termed "pimples" on the face of India. Portugal has stood fast and declared the ter ritories to be a part of Portugal itself. Bulganin was certain of Indian approval when he spoke strong ly for the Indian side of the argu ment during his current tour of this country with Soviet Com munist party chief Nikita Khrushchev.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN Showdown Seen In Aircraft Feud Washington (U.R) The Air Force -Army feud, over the Army's expanding aircraft fleet appeared headed today for a showdown before Defense Sec retary Charles E. Wilson. The battle has erupted be cause the Army wants to use its air arm more and the Air Force suspects the Army is try ing to establish an air force of its own.' The Army, while denying any intent to duplicate the combat jobs of the Air Force, is bent on getting changes made in a 1952 agreement which it regards as gravely restricting its flying rights. . The Air Force suspects that the senior service aims eventu ally to establish a new air force of its own. Army Secretary Wilber M. Brucker said last week that his service is interested only in rela tively slow-flying and low-flying unarmed aircraft. But that didn't quiet Air Force concern. The controversy broke into the open last week when Air Secretary Donald A. Quarles dis closed he had overruled an Air Force general and permitted the Army to test a new aviation unit in the Louisiana war games. But in doing so, Quarles stated emphatically that the "under lying issue" of Army and Air Force doctrine remains. Crescent City Man Drowns in River Crescent City, Calif.
