Explain Attitude
On Cyprus Events
Jaycee   President   On   Visit
ATENS (Reuters) — American
Ambassador Cavendish Cannon
Tuesday expressed the "sympathetic concern" of the United
States over the recent developments in Cyprus and praised the
"dignity and statesmanship" of
the Greek government in iti handling of the matter.
His statement shocked official
British opinion. In London the government announced it had instructed its ambassador in Washington, Sir Roger Makins, to ask
the slate department for an explanation.
Britain and Greece have bcen
at odds over the Cyprus issue, and
Greece recalled its ambassador
from London after Governor Sir
John Harding ordered deportation
of Archbishop Makarios, leader of
the Mediterranean island's union-
with-Grcec© movement, and three
other Greek Orthodox Church officials.
CALLS ON FOREIGN MINISTER
U.S. embassy release here said
Cannon made his comments when
he called on Greek Foreign Minister Spiros Theotokis and handed
over a copy of a stale department
on Cyprus.
Cannon noted that before thc
breakdown of negotiations, Makarios and the British had reached
agreement on Ihc -principle of self-
determination for Cyprus- on a
wide measure of self-government
as a transitory stage and on satisfying Cypriot aspiration eventually
in a final solution.
Considering this "substantial
progress," Cannon said, he was
confident a way could be found to
mosphcre for a calm rc-cxamina-
tion of the question had been established.
DECLINES  COMMENT
In Washington, the state department disclosed thc United States
has urged both Britain and Cyprus
to resume negotiations. Lincoln
White, department spokesman, did
not, however, say whom the U.S.
had approached in Cyprus.
White declined to comment on
the reports of statements attributed to the U.S. ambassador 0
Greece.
Interior Minister Demetrius Ma*
kris said Tuesday that quiet pre-
vails throughout Greece, (though
security 'measures are still in
force.

4. Russia   is   concentrating  on

This will be the second budget

moved into the financial slot in
July 19.14. And the picture he will
paint will bc far different from
the one he painted a year ago,
At that time he knocked off SH8,-

1955-5G budgetary deficit of $160,-

be a lot less than that-perhaps
