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.

Call on Telephone
Puzzles Officials
New Kensington, Pa. (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."
There is a Spellman, Md.
The control tower operator at
the Greater Pittsburgh airport i
said he received no distress

ministration officials in Wash-1
ington, New York and Pitts-,
burgh said they heard no report
of a downed plane. . i
Cable Cross Feed Expected
A radio operator at the Pitts-
burgh air terminal suggested the i
woman might have picked up a
radio or television broadcast by
what is called a "cable cross
feed."'
Not; possible, said broadcast
ers in New Kensington and
Pittsburgh and network offi
cials. No dialogue carried over
radio and TV during the time
of the "phantom" call approxi
mated the message overheard
by the two women.

fate of Matthew J. Connelly and
T. Lamar Caudle, accused of
conspiring to defraud the gov

dence was conclusive that the
