last week that two approaches to
the Palestine problem were under
consideration. First, he eased up
noticeably on talk about depriving
Israel of arms. Most correspondents
took his words to mean that sup
plying some military equipment to
= the Israelis was now under active
consideration. Second, he reaf-
f1rmed the United States intention
to seek United Nations action in
the Arab-Israel dispute. Exactly
what representation to make to the
United Nations :. is under study
at this moment" he said last
Wednesday, land as quickly as it is
formulated, why, it will automati-
cally publicize ITSELF"
Apparently the United States was
reconciled to a formal recognition
Of Soviet participation in the Middle
East power game.
AS yet no agreed plan for re-
ducing Arab-Israel tensions seems
to have been achieved. One plan,
worked out in the Eden Eisenhower
talks here late in January, would
be to increase the United Nations
truce supervisory force. Another
plan would be for the U. N. to set
up an international commission to
try its hand at cooling off Arab and
Israeli tempers. A third idea is
for the U. N. to issue an advance
warning of collective action in case
OF aggression by either side.
Burns New PIon
Maj. Gen. E. L. M. Burns. the
Canadian chief of the U. N. truce
supervision organization in Pales-
tine. produced his own suggestion
for improving the chances for peace
in the area on Monday. Instead
of rushing to each trouble spot
after the trouble starts, he suggest
ed instituting a surveillance system
"of periodic checks by U. N. mill
tary observers. Such a system
alone" he claimed, could give an
assurance to both parties that the
limitations on troops and arma-
ment were continuously being OBJ
served by the other side"
This proposal seems to fit with

20 in San Francisco. Further. the
President told the newsmen that
he had advised Mr.. Nixon In ad-
vance what he would say.
It was not surprising that many
New Hampshire voters took the
trouble to write Mr.. Nixon's name
in q blank space alongside that Of
Mr.. Eisenhower. But the size Of
the Nixon write-in-22,9 1856 votes
astonished most observers. The
Vice Presidents total vote was 40
per cent of Mr.. Eisenhower's 56,464.
It exceeded more than fourfold the
total write-ins for other vice presi-
dental possibilities.

The pot Of unrest seems about to
boil over on Cyprus, an island
smaller than the State Of Con-
necticut, located in the far eastern
end of the Mediterranean Sea.
There, half a million persons-80
per cent of them racially Greek
are in turmoil. The Greek Cy-
priots are demanding freedom of
their island from British colonial
rule and union with the country
they regard as their motherland,
Greece.
Britain, surveying her diminish
ing spheres of influence in the OIL
rich Middle East and concerned
about her control over the imperial
lifeline through the Suez Canal,
does not want to give up Cyprus.
Last week end the tense situation
broke into open rioting.
Americans, by and large, know
the situation exists, but do not
know the background. Here are 10
questions about Cyprus to help
readers of The Star in making an
analysis of what is going on.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-03-18

In Athens. our Ambassador eau
tiously expressed Sympathetic
concern . over the recent devel-
opments in Cyprus" meaning the
exile of the ethnarch. Britain
shouted foul, and the State Depart
ment tried to smooth it over with
a statement of impartiality.
President Eisenhower tried man
fully at his press conference to
reach a middle position
Here is place where two Of our very
best friends ore Engaged in on argument
with very greet difficulty. Now we ore
friendly to both. not only friendly in the
sense Of traditional friendship with these
two peoples, but on top Of thot, both
ore wholly Necessary to NAT0. Their
cooperative effort in NATo is essential
to the success Of thot greet organization.
So we ore ready to do onythins thot is
reasonable and practicable TO help in
reaching some solution, but the solution
itself is going to hove to be reached
by the people most sreotly concerned.
-. do wont to emphasize thot both
those peoples ore ones with whom we
wont TO preserve our historic friendships"
One reason for the Presidents
deep concern was Cyprus impor-
lance as a base for the West in
preventing full-scale war between
Israel and its Arab neighbors. The
island would be springboard
for any contemplated police action
which Britain and the United
States might be planning if there
were new aggression in the Middle
East. (See Blake Clark's article ad-
ioining.)

How Not to Write

There are two ways TO write

the groundwork to a committee
Of experts who can draw from the
information collected during weeks
Of hearings, then without much
ado polish up the committee bill
on the floor. The other way-the
hard way-is to take the COM
mittee's groundwork to the floor
and, section by section, throw
together a jerry-built law so COM
plicated that it would require .

For "a days United States Sen
ators, who include cotton States
Senators, corn States Senators,
tobacco States Senators and even

peared determined to do it the hard
way.

But despite the somewhat exag-

What would the West gain by .
speedy solution to the Cyprus ques-
ton?
At present, emotions worked up
over Cyprus have ID almost COM
pletely disrupted the Balkan Pact
between Turkey, Greece and Yugo-
slavia for their common defense
against Russia co made Turkish
and Greek cooperation in NATO
almost impossible co enraged
Greeks against Britain and against
the United States for supporting
Britain a. given a strong slogan
to neutralists in Greece, and 50
caused uprisings and riots on Cyp-
rus, resulting in British assignment
of forces there that could be on
duty for NATO.
A solution favorable to the Cyp-
riot position would, Of course, re-
verse these worsening trends. An
unfavorable solution would really
be no solution at all, but would
simply intensity the already explo-
sive situation. The United States
State Department apparently is
coming to point Of view in line
with that Of the Greeks and
Cypriots.'
In this position, oddly enough.
we Americans may not be far from
the view of the majority of British
people themselves. The Labor
Party. the Liberal Party, the Scot
fish Nationalist and numerous
leading newspapers strongly dis
approve OF the Colonial Admins
tration's policy in Cyprus.
The consensus is that if Britain
will set date, even some years
distant. for Cypriots TO vote on
whether to remain a colony or
unite with Greece, she can obtain
the guarantees she wants for un-
hampered military action.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-03-18

Why is Cyprus important to the
Western world:
For its strategic military posi-
ton. 1t is vital air force center.
Modern 600-mile- jet planes
from Cyprus can dart east to Syria
in seven minutes and on to Iraq in
three more. Skyline to Lebanon or
Israel Is IL minutes; add four more
for Jordan. From this strategically
located super-aerodrome, you can
get anywhere in the Middle East
Immediately.
Russians sweeping down from
the Caucasus through Iran and
Iraq and on across the African
land bridge would outfank NATO
defenses. Cyprus helps secure this
southern flank.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-03-18

Why are the Cypriots discon-
tented?
Their main objection is purely
emotional--they want union with
the mother country" This emo
ton is aggravated by other COM
plants:
l. They have no trial by jury,
and judges may be dismissed.
2. Antisedition laws make it an
offense punishable by five years in
prison for a newspaper to advocate
union with Greece.
3. I'VE have no say as to how our
tax money is spent" they protest.

The position Of Vice President
Richard M. Nixon seemed to be
improving from week to week.
Last week, on the heels Of sur
prise showing in New Hampshire's
preferential primary. the first Of
20 in this political season, his stock
looked as solid as AT&T. The
spectacular rise resulted primarily
from a progressive reluctance on
the part of President Eisenhower
to dump" Mr.. Nixon, as indicated
in the quotations above from re-
marks made by the President at
three successive press conferences.
Almost everybody, including such
Democrats as Senator John Spark
man, interpreted the Presidents
remarks about Mr.. Nixon last
Wednesday as meaning that the
43-year-old Californian is almost
certain to get second billing in the
Republican show opening August
