Ballet Tour Cut
By High Costs

NEW YORK. Feb. IL (P.-An
Asian tour by the San Francisco
Ballet Troupe has been cut short
because of an unforeseen and
unforeseeable" increase of $780,
900 in transportation costs, an
official of the American National
Theater and Academy said today
The company has done a
brilliant job and the curtailment
is in no way a reflection on its
work." said Robert Schnitzer
director Of ANTA's foreign pro-
gram.
The cancellation was made
attire the State Department in
Washington turned down a re-
quest for the additional funds,
he added.
Funds for artists sent abroad
under the cultural exchange pro-
gram are provided by the State
Department. ANITA supervises
only the artistic and travel
phases of the program. -Four
other companies of performers
are in Asia now.
Mr.. Schnitzer said the original
transportation allotment for the
ballet troupe was $l30.000, but
that the costs of moving the
company of 80 performers and
10000 pounds of equipment had
exceeded expectations.
The ANITA statement was
made after the ballet company
sent an appeal for continuation
Of the trip from Singapore,
where it is now appearing.
The ballet has been ordered to
return home after appearances
ending in Ceylon February "a.
This will keep it from filling
engagements in India, Pakistan,
Abadan and Iran.
American embassy sources in
New Delhi said the curtailment
had been ordered because "un-
warranted" government expendi-
ture appeared likely.
Lew Christensen. dance group
director. said the ballet had been
such a success in Manila. Bang
kok. Rangoon and Cambodia
that local dancers had staged
programs of their own in honor
of the visiting Americans.

Now many Greeks in Poland
want to return home. The new
Communist government that
took over last october is reported
cooperating with Greek legation

attitude. In February of that
year, shortly before the rebels
were quelled, the guerrilla radio

of his command. The Greek
government in Athens said he
was believed executed for fail
ing to conquer Greece.
