Cyprus Issue

In his letter on Turk
Greek Relations" on the sub
ject of Cyprus, printed in The
Star on July II, DR.. Sevine
Diblan compares the realistic
demand of the 80 per cent of
the population of CYPRUS to the
right of elf-determination, to
a fanciful situation in which
"all the Greek speaking resi-
dents Of this country were to
move to Long Island and de-
mand annexation with Greece"
In making this strange COM
parison, he ignores the fact
that the majority of the people
of Cyprus have been Greek
since long before there was a
Turkey or an England. He
thinks that these people who
have originated democracy and
human freedom should not
have theirs for fear of atroci-
ties against the Turks! One
need only read history to be
informed as to whether the
Turks throughout the CEN
turtles, and as late as last Sep
TENDER, have been the victims
Of atrocities or VIGOROUSLY the
perpetrators. DR.. Diblan would
have been well advised to
leave the skeletons in their
closets.

BALTIMORE. Oct. 5 tP).-
The president of the State Board
Iof Education warned yesterday
that Uncle Sam is going to step

Wendell d. Allen told the Leg

He was one of several school
Officials who urged the council
ito support a pay increase for
teachers Of $500 year. The in

minimum from $4,000 to $4,000
| a year for beginning teachers
and from $4,000 to $5.400 for
teachers with 10 years expe-

The proposal is to spread the
increase over two years. The
cost to the State in general funds
would be about 500 million.

Senator Edward S. Northrup,
Democrat of Montgomery, who
heads a committee which has
spent more than a year study
ing this and other State fiscal
problems, said after the hearing
that some raise for teachers
definitely must be offered if
Maryland is to compete with
other States in hiring new
teachers.
But he warned that adjusting
salaries is not going to solve
the whole teacher problem. Be-
cause Of the low birthrate dur

the high birthrate of the post

"Mickey's difficulties will come
in the last five or six days"
Greenberg cautioned. Every
body will be more conscious of
his attempt to break the record
and pitchers will be more careful.
They'll pitch to him but they will
be careful where they place tine
ball. With all that, I think he
has an excellent chance"
1--WE thought all along Man
ties chances are good" Foxx
said. "All he has to do is stay
healthy and stay in there. 1
don't know his temperament,
but he has the tools to do it with.
He's not too excitable and if he
has another week when he gets
six or so, he's in. I'd say he has
the best chance since Greenberg
in 1888"
And what a chance Greenberg
had in '38. Like Foxx and Wilson
before him and Mize later. Hank
swatted his way into September
ahead of Ruth. who went into
the final month with 43 home
runs. Greenberg had 43 for De-
troit on September /. 1888. Three
weeks later. Hank hit his 58th in
the Tigers 150th game. Since
Detroit played 155 games that
year, it meant that Greenberg
had five more games in which
Ito get the three homers he needed
to shatter Ruth's mark. He didn't
get any. The best he could do
was collect a double, five singles
and three walks in his final 81
times at bat that year.
Jimmie Closed Fast
Foxx had AZ home runs going
into September, 1882. On Sep
TENDER Is. he was four games in
front Of Ruth with his SD home
run, but he failed to hit his
SD until his 149th game and
fell out of the running. He closed
fast hitting five home runs in
his last five games but, like
Greenberg six years later. he fell
short by two.
Wilson, whose Sc home runs
for the Cubs in 1880 stand as
the National League record, had
46 at the end of August. He hit
only 10 in September. Mize had
A, one more than Ruth, going

only seven in the final month.
When Kiner slammed his 81 in

serious threat when he raped
his 81 in 1855. for he accumu-
lated his last nine homers in the
