LONDON (AP)——The growing fears of civil war in Cyprus have brightened the chances of a meet- ing between Prime Minister Mac- millan and the Greek and Turk- ish premiers in a peace attempt. Diplomatic sources suggested Sunday Macmillan was ready to fly to Geneva to make a dramatic appeal to Greek Premier Con- stantine Karamanlis for help- in- restoring order. The Greek pre- mier is in Switzerland for med- ical treatment. The British prime minister also is looking forward to a talk with Turkish Premier Adnan Men- deres at a Baghdad Pact eetmg here'in two weeks. ' The two meetings could be _a torerunner to three-power talks In which the bearded Cypriot leader, Archbishop Makerios, possibly would take part. BACKED BY GREECE The Athens government has 1been supporting the claims of the 400,000 Greek Cypriots for union of the island with Greece. Istan- bul has gone all-out in backing the demands of the 100,000 Turk- ish Cypriots for partition of the island. 'The Turkish minority fears it would be suppressed by the Greek majority if. the British rulers moved out. Tempers in Greece and Turkey have been at a high pitch over the issue ever since EOKA, the Greek undergrund on the island, began a campaign of mi‘o‘ence against the British. The Communist bloc has been waiting to cash in on the quarrel between the two NATO members. British alarm over the possibil- ity that the shooting could get out of hand seems to be reflect- ed now in Athens and istanhul. ,One sign was the appeal in Nicosia Saturday for an end- to bloodshed. Another was a slight change toward the British plan for Greece and Turkey to share in administration of the is- land tor the net seven years and Another Prediction Is That ' European Free Trade Is Flop By M. McIntyre Hood \Special London (Eng.) Correspondent . For the Guardian LONDON — Some three weeks ago, after a series of by-elections we ventured the opinion that the conservatives were again on the march in the United Kingdom, and that the trend towards 1.3— v hor had been halted. This has been bomerut very conclusively by a series of strik- ing successes for the Conserva-_ tives in a series of local govern- ment by-elections in various parts of the country. These by-elections were to fill vacancies on towns and county councils vacated by new aldermen. ' ' The results so far confirm the idea that the Conservative party is again on the way up. So tar, inthese by elections, it has not had a single loss. But it has made almost spectacular gains from the Labor party. The Con Iservative Central Otfice in Don- don is greatly encouraged by . these results, and is hopeful of Ifiurther *suocesses in other by-el- ections for local councils still to he held.- In the United Kingdom, local government elections are taught out on a party basis. ENCOURAGING RESULTS. Here are some of the results which have given the Conserva- tives cause tor encouragement: In NewcastledUnder-Lyme, the party had five distinct gains from the Socialists, giving the Tories control of the council for the first time in 11 years. At Maidstone, where the Con- servati've party narrowly lost eon- trol of the council in the May elections, two recent gains have restored it to the Tories. Three conservative gains have been registered at Cole, Lanca- shire, and there are signs of one more gain, there, council. Nearby, at Rawstenstall, he Conservatives , have ,won three former Labor seats. At Billericay, in Essex County, which would . give the party control of the a the OonservatVes have won two Labor seats. They have gained one more on the Norfolk county council. And at Bexley in Kent, they won a seat on the Kent County Council never previously held, and which the Socialists won by 1390 votes only two months ago. In a byaelection in Brighton, the Conservative candidate won the seat from 3 Labor candidate by 197» Votes. . - The thing which encourages the Conservatives is that all these seats were won from the Labor party‘totalling 18 in an - in the shy elections, without the Conserv- atives losing a single seat to t e Socialists- Coupled with the lift whichthe party received in the recent five parliamentary by-el- actions, these results are regard- ed ns being highly signifith of- a new swing away from Labor and back to the Conservative party. ANOTHER PREDICTION In another article recently, we made the prediction that with General de Guile now in control of French affairs, there was lit- tle- likelihood of the European :Free Trade Area going ahead. He suggested that it could be re- garded as being as dead as the dodo. , ' That viewpoint is confirmed by the result of talks which Mr. Maudling, the British Paymaster General,-has just had in ,Paris with the French government. Be- fore leaving Paris to returnto London, he did not try to dis- guise the fact that his day of t3 leave open the big question of union with Greece or partition. PLAN SNUBBED ‘ Both the Athens and Istanbul governments»snubbed the plan at first. But Turkish Foreign Minis- ter Zorlu moved slightly toward the plan last week by saying it ‘ was "‘not inconsistent with parti- tion." ' Greek Premier Karamanlis said he was favorably considering the three<power conference desired by Macmillan. , There were reports here that. Presidents Tito of Yugoslavia and Nasser of the United Arab Re- public advised Greek Foreign Minister Averofi to seek terms with Turkey. Averill visited Yugoslavia during Nasser’s visit there. Some British Laborites are leaning to the idea that the is- land, now a British Crown coll- ony, be put under UN trusteeshirp. The Greek government has sug- gested a trusteesh-i‘p as one means of compromise. with French otficials on the Free Trade Area had been Im- successful. The French attitude to the Eu- ropean Free -'l‘xrade plan is as cold and unyielding as it was when De Gaulle camé‘into pow- er. During his visit to Paris, Mr. Maudling had talks with M. Oouve de Muzrville, the foreign minister and M. Pinay, finance Minister. “I don’t see many signs of pro- gre'ss" he said, bluntly afier- Watcds. 7 “Etfective negotiations have been at a standstill since Feb- ru‘ary.” Cuban Rebels- Rel-ease Pair HAVANA (AlPl—Culban rebels released two more kidnapped Americans Wednesday. The US. Embassy identified them as Al- bert M. Ross of Houston, Tex.,. and James D. 'Best of New Or- leans, both officials of the Amer- ican - owned Mon Bay Mining Company. They were landed by II US. Navy helicopter at the Guan- tanamo Naval Base from an un- disclosed rebel mountain hideout. The rebels still held 30 US. sailors and marines from the Guantanamo base and one Cana- dian, Richard Sargent of Toronto, a sugar mill manager. It was disclosed Norfolk, Va., that Admiral Jerauldl Wright, commander of the Atlantic Fleet and the US. Atlantic Command, will fly to Guantanamo today to. confer on further negotiations with the rebel command. “’8 Meet Speedy Propane, he’s the one to help you sun but: GAS LT get your baking done.
