British Deny Plot
To Free Mukurios

LONDON, May 81 -(P. - The
Colonial Office denied yesterday
"a report an adventurous British
sea captain tried to free Arch
bishop Makarios of Cyprus from
his exile island in the Indian
Ocean
The father of missing Capt.
Eric Hunt also scoffed at the
story, telling a newsman II do
not believe word of this re-
port"
The London Daily Telegraph,
which published the original
story, stuck to its account today.
Information received by the
British intelligence Services left
no doubt that the vessel, pas
lsengers and crew were involved
in an attempt to seize and take
Archbishop Makarios from Maize
Tin the Seychelles Islands to
neutral territory" the newspaper
said.
Makarios was banished by the
British from Cyprus last March.
The British accused him of sup
porting terrorists among Greek
ICypriots demanding union of the
Mediterranean island with
Greece.
Capt. Hunts 120-ton schooner
the Hiariako, was wrecked on a
reef in the Comoro Islands of
Madagascar. Five survivors in

We managed to survive another election. It looks as if the Demo erats were the only people who voted.

The Democrats are becom- ing increasingly confident-the Alaskan vote doesn't mean a great deal, although it points trend in public thinking. Top level and Democrats all down the line are conducting vigorous, campaign-whether Eisenhower's amazing popularity can offset this enthusiasm remains to- be seen. There must be lot of Democrat votes around the country-that's what kept the donkey party in for twenty years. It just remains to get the vote out.

 Bob Atwood in the Anchorage Times made about the safest cleo tion prediction one can make. As regards the Territorial election, he said: We would predict that when the legislature a journS next spring there will be the usual has sIe over whether it did good Job or bad. We would predict further that the consensus will be that it was bad. Alaskans always send their representative to Juneau with great expectations. When they come home, no matter how much they have done, there is diSsap- pointment because they didn't do more"

 Life is going to start to get dull around here. Now that we have new Council elected and sworn ir- to office, the territorial elections settled, and the world series out of the way, we will have to turn our minds to the more humdrum happenings of the man on the street. Of course we have the Ma tiOnal elections yet.
