Hot Debate Due
lin Commons
lover Cyprus

LONDON, July 10 R.-Prlme
Minister Eden's government faces
a parliamentary storm tomorrow
over handling of the Cyprus
problem-currently the doml-
nant issue in British politics.
Sir Anthony's Conservatives
have enough strength to avoid
a parliamentary defeat over
Cyprus. but tomorrow's debate
may reveal the full measure OF
public misgiving over the poll
cies being pursued there.
Hardly a day goes by with
out q clash between British MILL
tary formations and Greek
speaking underground fighters
on Cyprus. The island 40 miles
from the Turkish coast and al
most 600 miles from the Greek
mainland, is smaller than Con-
necticut. OF its permanent popu-
lation of 100000. 80 per cent
speak Greek and the rest
Turkish.
Enosis, the movement for
union of Cyprus with Greece.
claims the allegiance Of a wide
section of the Greek-speaking
community. The Turkish-speak-
ing minority says the island
should revert to Turkish control
if any change is made. The
Turkish-speaking islanders have
the support of the Turkish gov
eminent, just as Athens backs
the Greek Cypriots.
British Interests Vital
Britain's own interests form
the third side of the triangle.
From Cyprus. British military
forces can cover the entire
Middle East.
Last week Sir Anthony COM
misSioned Lord Radcliffe, a legal
expert, to draft a constitution
giving Cyprus internal self-gov-
eminent. But the Greek Cyp-
riots want a firm promise of self
determination the right at
some future date to conduct a
binding vote on the question Of.
union with Greece.
Greek Cypriot leaders say they
won't negotiate or even discuss
a constitution in the absence Of
Archbishop MakarioS.
On this point British laborites
believe the Eden government has
backed itself into a corner. Brit
ish authorities deported Arch
bishop MakarioS last spring on
the ground he had refused to
condemn terrorism"
Now. Laborites ask, how can
the Eden government ever ne
gotiate a Cyprus settlement if
there is no person of stature on
the other side to negotiate with?
Laborites contend all the offers
made by the Eden government
have been too little and too
late"
Little Chance for Radcliffe
The independent and inf1u-
entail Sunday observer expressed
a similar opinion: If Lord Rad
cliffe'S mission had taken place
a few months ago. 1T might well
have had profoundly important
effect on the situation" but low
the chances appear slight
Sir Anthony has rejected send
ing the dispute to NATO. There
fore. the observer said, there
is now no other way out of the
impasse but to seek a solution
Through the United Nations. So
far. the government has resisted
this proposal. But since it has
modified its Cyprus policy five
times in just over a year. there
is no reason to accept its re-
fuSal as final"
Whatever solution is reached,
britain as a minimum will de.
mand permanent military bases
on the island.

ROANOKE, Va.-The Blue
Ridge Parkway, marking its goth
anniversary this month, is still a
drous dream road for
pleasure motoring. But somehow
1t keeps getting better, with
more to see. more to do, attract
ing an incredibly rising number
of visitors.
This year, if the present rate
holds up, the Parkway will be
visited by more than 100000
persons, 1 the largest number to
visit any region administered by
the National Park Service.
Probably the greatest attrac-
ton is that here is one road
where driving involves far more
enjoyment than work and strain.
1t is completely free of COM
mercial traffic and billboards:
there are no dangerous intersec-
tons or blind curves. The
emphasis is on recreation for
the. passenger car owner. a con-
cept which makes the Parkway
unique in America even two
decades after it was first opened
to public use.
New Compound
The Parkway, providing a
scenic link between the Shen-
andoah and the Great Smokes,
468 miles away, has itself evolved
with many outstanding park
features. Among the latest is a
new campground a few miles
north of Roanoke at the Peaks
of Otter, one of the seven
recreation areas on the Park
way. The views from Sharp Top
Peak (3,875 feet), high above the
road. are among the most thrill

Dolphin, which offer sportsmen
a close thrill to capturing marlin,

catch. A dolphin weighing 81
pounds was boated in the At
lantic this week.
Capt. Talbot Bunting's predic-
ton on how the marlin catch
would stand up this season was
optimistic. So far over 900 marlin
have been registered-a chal-
lenge to the 1889 ecord-clinch-
ing year with 1,343 caught.

II think we will reach it, if not
beat it." said Capt. Bunting, who
heads charter fishing fleet.
Bonitoes, which provide good
eating for the angler, also have
put in an appearance. Catches
weigh from Ia to 2 pounds.
Bluefish continue to be caught
but their size is picayune.
