He stopped often to talk with the startled Cypriots and at sev- eral villages was presented with bouquets of flowers. When one man shouted “go away." Foot quickly reined in his horse and shook e man's hand.

THOUGH BATTLEGROUND

The governor’s ride took him through Bellapals village. where last year thousands of British soldiers waged a c a m p a ign against a stronghold of the EOKA terrorist organization de- dicated to having Cyprus united politically with Greece.

He was accompanied by other horsemen on his final get- acquainted tour before returning to Britain next week for talks on -the colony‘: future.

The West has refused to recog- nize lhe East German regime. Under four-occupation accords. accredited allied civilians have been able to obtain Russian visas for travel through East Germany.

The Western Big Three in co- operation with West Germany have been opposing Russia's step- all the

German puppet at e.

If the Russians have not ar- ranged for any diplomatic ex- emptions. it would mean that about 350 allied diplomats and de- pendents here would be com- pelled to limit their travel to and from the West to air transport. Air traffic is not subject to Com- munist checks.

The visa regulations also will hamper the travel of allied dip- Iomals and other citizens sta- tioned in Moscow and Warsaw.

The Russians gradually have been limiting the number of visas issued to allied citizens travelling to west Berlin from West Ger- many. Despite allied protests the Russians have given visas only to those citizens who were attac to the military occupation - mands In West Berlin.
