I language difficulties. tween two NATO allies, Greece and Turkey. President Marios indicated Saturday night after a meeting with Sandys that Cyprus might reject the help of Greece and Turkey to end its communal strife and rely on Britain alone. The bearded archbishop, him self a Greek Cypriot, told news men, "I think it would be bet ter if Cyprus accepts only the help of Great Britain." He said that was because Greece and Turkey have direct interests at staRe in the island. Cyprus accused Turkey at an emergency meeting of the Unit ed Nations Security Council in New York early Saturday of terrorizing the Greek Cypriots by sending a dozen warships to ward Cyprus. But Tirkcy offi cially denied the charge. In Athens Premier George Pa pandreous issued a statement welcoming the easing of ten sion. He denied reports t h e Greek armed forces had mobil ized and said the situation in Cyprus "is becoming daily less abnormal." He welcomed Turkish assur ances that Turkey planned no landing and urged the Greek press to check the veracity of all reports in order to avoid spreading needless alarm. Sandys met immediately with British High Commissioner Sir Arthur Clark and Maj. Gen. Pe ter Young.' overall commander of the British, Greek and Turk ish troops on Cyprus. He sched uled an early meeting with President Archbishop Makarios and Turkish Vice President Fa- zil Kuchuk. Young said in a communi que late Saturday: "Except for one or two re grettable incidents today, the situation has greatly improved. The Greek Cypriot side moved out of certain areas and British troops now are lo cated in these positions. Fur ther posts will be taken over to morrow as part of the general measure for the relaxation of tension." Sandys said one of his first problems was that of securing more complete and effective cooperation between Vie three military contingents of the joint force and admitted there were "certain practical difficulties." British troops in armored cars and jeeps draped with the Brit ish flag maintained calm with "family protection patrols." Plans to use mixed patrols of Summit-Level Diplomacy Comes To Cow Country Erhard Enjoying Wide Open Spaces JOHNSON CITY, Tex. (UPI) President Johnson brought summit-level diplomacy to the folksy cow country Saturday. West German Chancellor Lud wig Erhard allowed as how he liked it. Standing on the sunlit lawn of the main house at the LBJ ranch, Erhard puffed on a big cigar and told his host how pleasant it was to be in the wide open spaces. With interpreters standing by, the two chief executives posed for photographers and talked about the warm weather for this time of year. Mexican Cigars Erhard's cigar was supplied by White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger, who put a whole box of Mexican cigars at Erhard's disposal. Erhard puff ed contentedly. A number of German report ers went to the ranch and Mrs. Johnson, a brilliant flash of col or in her orange-red wool dress, ran to the door of the bus to shake hands with e a c h as he stepped down. Lynda Bird, the Johnson s 19- year-old daughter, later look the German press corps on a guided bus tour of the ranch. Erhard had an aerial view of the ranch as he flew in by heli copter with Johnson. There was more relaxation in store. Summit meetings usually take place in such overwhelming quarters as tne Palais de cnail lot in Paris, in the pillared halls oi Geneva or the majestic United Nations building. This time, it was in the comfortable but informal living room of the white frame and limestone John son ranch house. The atmos phere was refreshing. Have Some Barbecue President Johnson specified in his welcoming remarks that he hoped Erhard would have some Texas barbecue . There was also to be venison sausage. The chef had laid in 600 pounds of beef and 200 pounds of potato salad. The entertainment for Erhard represented an amazing cross section of American culture. Van Cliburn, the concert pi anist from Kilgore, Tex., was set to play Brahms and Bee thoven. Linda Loftis of Fort Worth, Miss Texas of 1061, was scheduled to sing. Fredericksburg, Tex., was ex cited. When the President and the chancellor attend services today at Bethany Lutheran Church in the town, much of the service will be said or sung in German. The sermon will be in German by Rev. Henry F. Tnptow, the pastor. J J .wM k . A ARRIVES IN AUSTIN Texas Gov. John Connally and President Austin, Tex.

Development of One-A-Year Birth Control Pill Foreseen CLEVELAND, Ohio (UPI) -Jean Bourgcois-Pichat, director of the National Institute of Dem ographic Studies In Paris, France, predicted Saturday the next 10 years will see the de velopment of a birth control pill that can be taken only once a year lo replace those which now have to be taken almost daily. Bourgcois-Pichat spoke to the American Association for the Advancement of Science confer ence here as part of a seminar on birlh control measures, Select Desired Sex Kingsley Davis, a University of California sociologist, said that methods of selecting the desired sex of a child were also likely, but said they were further off than the new birlh control pills. Davis said that although the unprecedented population growth had brought general agreement that the birth rate must he lowered, the conse quences have yet to he explored. W. Lee Hansen, a UCLA econ- 1st, discounted grim fore- casts of severe overcrowding and called for a scholarly study which, he said, would undoubt edly strengthen the case for birth control. Hansen said economic gains which ' would bring a higher standard of living by slowing population growth would make birlh control one of the best in vestments for underdeveloped countries. Dr. Christopher Tictze, re search director of the National Committee on Maternal Health, said there was little proof that repeated pregnancies might im pair the hcfilth of mothers. He said the U. S. Census Bureau and the University of Chicago planned to conduct a study of the effects of child bearing on women's deaths. l.S Million Users He said birth control pills were currently being used by about 1.5 million American women. He said the success ot birth control methods had caused many women who had been sterilized by surgery lo re gret Ihclr decision. nourgools-Plchat said studies showed most parents in western countries desired three children. Ho said those desires indicated development of foolproof birlh control methods would result in a declining human population. In another paper presented to the conference Saturday, Rich ard H. White of Purdue Univer sity and Albert E. Vattcr of the University of Colorado Medical School described an experiment with mosquitoes which may help solve the riddle ot human vision. Movement Noted White and Vattcr said an electron microscope examina tion of the eye of a mosquito showed tiny vesicles formed in the center of the eye, moved to the front surface and brnko open, spilling the contents. The two scientists said Ihey believed this was the mechan ism by which Vitamin A was transported to the nerve end ings in the eye. They said that although the structure of the mosquito eye and human eye differs greatly, they felt the basic processes might be the same in both. jf
