|Krupp Offers U. S. Plan
ToCounter Soviet Trode

ESSEN, Germany, Mar. 10 up.
German Steel Magnate Alfred
Krupp has proposed an ambi-
tious plan to the United States
| Government for international
industrial cooperation. The aim
is to counter the Soviet economic
offensive in Asia and Africa.
A spokesman for the Krupp
combine said today the plan was
given to Deputy United States
Undersecretary of State Robert
Murphy in Washington by Krupp
General Manager Berthold Beitz
and Krupp's Washington coun-
sci, former Assistant Defense
Secretary H. Struye Hensel.
Alfred Kr,lpp was due back
in Germany to-day from a per-
sonal survey of the possibilities
Of the scheme in Egypt. Thai
land. Pakistan, India and Ceylon.
The Krupp spokesman called
the project the Point -Four and
One-H Program" He said it
lis similar to the United States
Point Four program. except it
will be carried out on a profit
basis by private firms and not
as q giveaway project.
Three Points Made
The spokesman said the paper
given to Mr.. Murphy made these
points:
/. The plan would be carried
out by a syndicate of private
firms from as many participating
countries as possible, including
West Germany, France, the
United States and Britain.
2. Governme emit assistance
would be limited to psyche
logical and moral support" and
aid in getting credit on some
what liberal terms"
3. If credit were made avail
able at reasonable rates, the
Free West could offset generous
Russian offers to underdeveloped
higher quality products.
= In return for assistance in
getting the necessary capital, the
Krupp combine is prepared to
throw int an international pool
all its technical knowledge and
experience and its highly trained
technicians.
Political Pressure OF.
The paper said the advantages
Of the plan were:
/. Technical assistance to I'M
derdeveloped areas could be
placed on a basis Of trade not
aid" thus pleasing both recipi-
'ents and donors.
2. Any suggestion of political
influence or prussure on Asian
or African countries would be
avoided. 81
8. Technical skills available
to private enterprise would. be of
the highest quality. -
4. Economic assistance on a
profit basis would be much
greater than on a giveaway
basis.
S. Private management would
be more effective, efficient and
economical.
6. The military significance of

Most big projects most urg-
emily needed in underdeveloped
areas require 10 to IL years of
credit, the Krupp spokesman
said. He explained Government
support is needed so that the
groups of firms can negotiate
with the United States Export
Import Bank and the World
Bank.
A plea to the West for Joint
economic action has been made
by West German Economics

that their project was complete

NICOSIA, Cyprus. Mar. 10 (P),
Who is this man 'Dighenis"-
the mysterious leader of the Cy-
prus terrorists?
No one processes to know for
certain. No one has ever ad-
mitted seeing him.
British authorities have said
Dighenis is believed to be" a
British trained Greek. Col.
George Grivas. Col. Grivas led an
extreme right-wing organization
against the Communists in
Greece when the Reds were try
ing to take over the nation after
World War II.
But many of the senior British
officers and civil servants here
doubt that identification. They
say Dighenis is probably a COM
mittee of five or six men-pos-
sibly one from each of the major
towns on Cyprus. These Britons
believe an executive officer or a
chief of staff may coordinate
the terror campaign to some de-
gree. but thy believe it is organ
lied and carried out on a local
level.
Does Not Fix Policy
They do not rule out that Col
Grivas might be the chief Of
staff, but they say he does not
fix policy or decide alone on exc
cutions or how the terrorism will
be conducted.
The nebulous figure of modern
Cyprus gets his name from a
legendary Greek hero of the
Byzantine period. That Dighenis
waged an unceasing campaign
against the Moslems on the
frontiers of the Byzantine En-
pire. He was called Dighenis
Akritas-Akritas means frontier
The exploits of the ancient
Dighenis compare with the leg
ends of Americas Paul Bunyan
1t was not rare for him to kill
1000 of the enemy singlehanded
Legend has it that he fell in love
with a beautiful girl. She did not
want him and gave him impos-
sible assignments to get rid OF

those days.
