Scotland Yard's Hunt For Cypriot Nationals Spreads in Britain London (U.R) Scotland Yard's search for active Cypriot nationalists spread today throughout Britain and reliable reports said more Cypriote and Greeks would be deported in the near future. The search was started when Scotland Yard found certain doc uments in the possession of a 48- year-old Cypriot abbot who was hustled off to Athens so quick ly he left his slippers behind in his S2.80-a-week London apart ment. The abbot was Archimandrite. Kallinikos Macheriotis, a close friend of exiled Cypriot leader orthodox Archbishop Makarios. His deportation brought sharp protests from the Greek Em bassy, threats of a demonstra tion by London Cypriots and warnings from Athens. Orders Deportation Personally It was understood his deporta tion was ordered personally by Cmdr. Leonard Burt, head of Scotland Yard's super-secret Special Branch. He was accused of activiteis going beyond any legitimate acclesiastical duties and of acts "not in the public interest." The search for active Cypriot nationalists extended from the back streets of London's Cam den Town - district where the abbot lived to Sheffield where police were investigating the possibility of Cypriot sabotage. Two ground signals were dam aged beside the main railway line near Sheffield and the word "EOKA" was spelled out in stones beside them. EOKA is the name of the Greek Cypriot un derground organization respon sible for much of the violence on Cyprus.

(U.R) Broadcasting and aviation offi cials were at a loss today to ex plain a "phantom airplane" dis tress call overheard by two women during a telephone con versation. Mrs. Blair Snyder of New Kensington said she was speak ing with her daughter-in-law, Mrs., William Harvey, in Con way, Pa., Tuesday when she heard a voice say: "Clear the runway." Flames Said Spreading 1 She said a second voice re-' plied, "Runway cleared. Come . on in." I But the first voice responded j the right engine of his plane was on fire and the flames were spreading to a wing. i "Can't make it," the pilot ' said. "Putting down in a field I with 14 passengers aboard." The conversation ended, Mrs. Snyder said. Mrs. Harvey, wife of a minis ter, said it appeared the "phan tom plane" was calling Pitts burgh and was somewhere over Maryland, near a to vn called some, thing like "Stillman."
