British Jets Rushing
Porotroopers to Cyprus

NICOSIA. Cyprus, June IS
R)-British jet transports
loaded with paraNoopers began
streaking into Cyprus today in
the second phase Of a troop
buildup to keep peace on this
Mediterranean island.
BY the time the emergency
air lift is completed, about
5000 paratroopers will be here
bolstering the permanent Brit
ish force of $4,000.
The first 900 men flew in
Saturday. The rest Of the SOL
diers in the 10th Independent
Parachute Brigade are expected
by Thursday. In addition q
British force of commands was
due to set sail from Malta on
the cruiser Bermuda.
The paratroopers arrived as
fears were being voiced here
and abroad that the strife be-
tween Turkish and Greek Cyp-
riots may spread into a con-
flict that could crack the East
ern arm of the North Atlantic
Alliance.
In Turkey. mobs cried "parti-
ton or death" This was their
demand that Britain divide the
island between the 100000
Greek Cypriots and the l4O.-
900 Turks.
The Turks bitterly oppose
the Greek demand that this
island-a British crown colony
be turned over to Greece.

officials charged that Greek
soldiers we're being menaced by
mobs. Greece and Turkey make
up NATO's important eastern
flank. Izmir is NATO's South
east European headquarters.
A jittery calm prevailed
throughout Cyprus as the island
awaited Britain's announce
ment-expected tomorrow in
London-of its plan for the flu
ture of Cyprus. British curfews
were imposed last Thursday
after six days of rioting and
fighting that killed IA Greeks
and two Turks.
In London. the Times de-
clared in an editorial that the
British plan is almost certainly
the last hope for peace. If ii
is rejected. the paper said. a
serious conflict could develop
between Greece and Turkey.
The British plan has been
disclosed to Greece /and Tur-
key, but has not been made
public. The Times said. how
ever. it is expected to provide
a cooling of period in which
Turkey and Greece would work
with Britain in safeguarding
the Greek and Turkish COM
of the island.

Folsom Requests Delay
On Social Security Bills

last January. that Federal con-
tributions for public assistance
programs in States should
be decreased rather than in
creased.
He told the committee that
the public assistance provisions
should be revised to assure "a
more uniform and equitable
system Of payments in the
States.
Mr.. Forand complained that
Mr.. Folsom's suggestion for a
delay at least until next year
seems to have been the case
all along" whenever members
of Congress sought to liberalize
the Social Security Act.
He asked whether the adj
ministration would support a
bill he has introduced for hos
pital. surgical and nursing care
for persons eligible to receive
old-age and survivors insur-
ance benefits. Mr.. Folsom re-
piled that the administration
would not favor it.
U. S. Expansion Hit
Commenting on Federal par
ticipation in public assistance
Mr.. Folsom said:
Il believe that a further gen.
eral expansion of the Federal
Governments financial share
. is undesirable. 1 believe
a more equitable and construc-
tive approach, both from the
standpoint of sound Federal
State relations and the human
itarian detectives of this pro-
gram, would be to set the
Federal share Of funds more in
accord with the fiscal abilities
and needs of the States"
Mr.. Folsom noted that for
the first time more money is
being paid out in old-age in
surance benefits this year than
is being taken in from social
taxes and interest.
He said the system, however,
is in essentially sound financial
condition for the foreseeable
future" But he declared 1T Is

Knowland of California also
lost out Saturday in an effort to
provide that 20 per cent Of a

secret balloting on recalling
union officers and on changing
union constitutions and by
laws.
Senator Knowland's amend
ment, which he contended was
needed to strengthen union
democracy provisions of the
bill, was defeated 1921.
Erwin Amendment Adopted
However, the Senate later
adopted an amendment of
Senator Erwin, Democrat of
North Carolina, providing for
the recall of local union Of
fcers at any time by majority
vote of the members.
Senator ErVin's amendment
also revised a section of the
bill requiring periodic elections
of union officers by secret bal
lot. 1t would set the maximum
term for officials of local I'M
ions at three years instead of
four and for officials of in
ternational unions at four
years instead of five.
Senator Bush, Republican of
Connecticut, also won adop-
ton by voice vote of an amend
ment prohibiting unions from

said, adding that Red China
stands against relaxation of
tenesion in the world on the

Tito claimed the Chinese lead
ers had been attacking him to
minimize difficulties at home.
Red China's blast came from
Chen Po-Ta, vice president of
the Chinese Academy of Sci
ences. Peiping Radio quoted
him thus:
For the imperialists, Tito
is. indeed. more valuable than
Judas. Judas got only 80 pieces
Of silver. The price paid Tito
by the American imperialists is
hundreds of millions Of times
this figure"
Moscow's Pravda, the Soviet
Communist party newspaper,
also lambasted the Yugoslav
leader. 1t accused him Of re-
wisconsin - back-sliding from
Communist gospel and one Of
the worst Red sins. Pravda
compared Marshal Tito to Imre
Macy. the Hungarian Premier
who took over during the 1856
revolt and was exiled by the
Soviet Army.

Welfare Secretary Folsom

this year to increase social

posals to liberalize old-age in

cred criticism by several men,

Representative Forand,
Democrat Of Rhode Island, said
he saw no reason why Congress
should await the outcome of a
study by the Advisory Council
of Social Security Financing.
Mr.. Folsom asked the COM
mittee to delay action until it
gets the council recommended
tons. not expected to be avail
able until the end of the year.
Sees Tax Rise Needed
Although Mr.. Folsom did not
specifically oppose legislation
for higher old-age insurance
payments and public assistance
OUTLAWS to States, he en-
phasized that no such increases
should be made without a
corresponding increase in social
security taxes.
Committee Chairman Mills,
Democrat of Arkansas, has an
nounced that the hearings
were arranged to examine many
of the 400 individual House
bills dealing with the social
security system.
Democratic leaders have in
dictated. however, that they
hope the committee will report
out a bill for House passage
this year dealing particularly
with increased payments for
recipients of old age and sur

Dulles Doubts
Summit
Be Magical

It viii take several months
before the United States de-
cides the worth Of a summit
conference. Secretary OF State
Dulles said yesterday.
His comment came IN a
filmed television interview with
Republican Representative
Heating OF New York.
Mr.. Dulles indicated skepti-
cism about the special magic"
Of summit-level conferences IN
settling world problems.
No Miracle solution
Il think everybody sees now
that there isn't any miracle
solution" 10 cold war issues,
he said. Maybe we can do
some things at the summit
better than elsewhere; I don't
know.
I'VE are studying this very
carefully through diplomatic
approaches to the Soviet For
eign Ministry at Moscow at the
present time and will come to
conclusions as to whether or
not it's worthwhile or not. It's
going TO be a sober. solid con-
clusion based on facts. not on
some false emotion"
Secretary Dulles also resisted
proposals for establishing new
American finance institutions
20 make international loans. Il
think that existing agencies are
SUFFICIENT but there will be need
Of a normal replenishment Of
funds" he said.

The revolt followed reports
that the president planned
TO have parliament amend the
constitution so he could seek
a second term. Later he said
he would not attempt a con-
stitutional change, and the
rebels then demanded he re-
sign at once.
Lebanon's u. N. Delegate
Karin Azkoul said in New York
that U. N. Intervention has
made the rebels realize that
this is the last chance for de-
cisive action.
