LONDON, Feb. II tAP). -
Britain spelled out today at the
opening Of a formidable con-

might block speedy acceptance
The four-point plan called
for adoption Of the agreement
worked out last week in Zurich
by Turkish Premier Adnan
Menderes and Greek Premier
Constantine Karamanlis.
AS a first point, British For
eign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd
stressed that the strategic needs
of Britain on the Eastern Medi-
terranean island, such as bases,
should be guaranteed so that
they cannot be challenged later.
MakariOs Reported Baking
Archbishop Makarios was re-
ported baking over acceptance
of this point. He is the recog-
nized leader of 100000 Greek
Cypriots on the island.
The British plan also calls
for:
/. A full reconciliation be-
tween Cypriot communities on
Cyprus. The island has l00,-
600 Turkish Cypriots.
2. A Recreation of Greek
Turkish friendship.
8. Giving to the Cypriots
themselves the opportunity to
develop their own institutions
for self-government and indie
pendence.
Greek and Turkish repre-
sentatives welcomed the Brit
iSh program at the conclusion
of the meeting.
Details Studied
Archbishop Makarios and
DR.. Fail Kutchuk, the Turkish
Cypriot leader, will meet pri-
vately this afternoon to con-
slider the plan in detail. Mr..
Kutchuk was believed certain
to accept it.
Greek Foreign Minister Ev-
anghelos Averoff and Turkish
Foreign Minister Fatin Rustu
zorlu scheduled a meeting to
discuss technical details aris-
ing out of the morning con-
ference.
Mr.. Karamanlis was en- route
by plane from Athens. Mr.. Az
croft had repeatedly appealed
to him to intercede with Arch
bishop Makarios. Mr.. Averoff,
Mr.. Lloyd and Mr.. zorlu
agreed last night on the basic
principles of the independence
plan worked out in Zurich.
Archbishop Makarios in
addition to objecting to British
sovereignty over the military
bases she has established dur

Ours is q Nation on wheels,

ton Of the American people
poses a few problems for that
unsung hero Of the American
roadside-the soda clerk. AS
we noted yesterday, the foun-

may hear half a dozen different
names for the same connection
in the course of a single day
each q name used in a different

In are known as "frosteds,"
cabinets" and "frappes" in diff
ierent areas. To complicate mat
tiers further a "frappe" in New
York is very different from
one in Boston. The New York
version is simply ice cream
with syrup poured over 1t.
while in Boston It's the afore-
mentioned milkshake with ice
cream.
Ready for further complex
ties? Well, the New York

Riding on Air

Just as we were beginning to despair
of solution to our mounting tranSpor-
tation problems, along comes group OF
Princeton University scientists with an
"air scooter" and real, honest-to-
goodness flying saucer" These celeS-
tial vehicles, we are told, operate on the
ground effect" principle. What this
means, as far as we can understand, is
that these gadgetS are raised from the
ground by streams of air, elected under
pressure from their bottoms. And there
they sit, perched on continuous air
cushion, as they scoot bump-free over
highways, rivers and fields.
Why these marvelS were not in
corporated into the Washington areas
$5OOO0O transportation study plan is
mystery that only the scientists can
explain-and they sheepishly do. The
"saucer"-the aerial bus we like the
best-hasn't even been tested yet. And
it hasn't been determined whether any
of the machines will operate at high
speed. Worst of all, there's no way to
turn them-tWist the steering wheel and
they continue forward, spinning on their
axis.
So we guess We'll go back to our old
dreams of subways and freewayS. AT
least they don't spin, even if our head
does at the thought of paying for them.

The Peoples Choice

The citizens of Sac Paulo, Brazil,
who elected a rhinoceroS to their city
council by landslide vote, can count
on a sympathetic response from electo-
rates everywhere. Where is the voter,
we'd like to know, who hasn't occa-
sionally been so fed up with the avail
able politicalNtalent that he wouldn't
be glad to swing to a dark horse-even
a dark rhino?
The write-in vote for Cacareco, Sac
Paulos all-victorious rhinoceroS, was by
no means light-hearted gag. 1t was
a vigorous enthusiastically nearly
100000 voters-of disgust with the
political situation in general and with
the local candidates in particular. Nor
is Cacareco the first four footed Brazil
ian to score at the polls. Some time ago,
a goat named Smelly was elected to the
city council at Jaboatao, Pernambuco,
and, for all we know, he might still have
the job. Cacareco's victory, perhaps I'M
fortunately, has been voided by the
authorities. But we'd guess her election
will put Brazilian politicians on their
mettle-which is not bad thing for
politicians anywhere.

Fuel For the Fire

Despite the spurious nature Of Fidel
CaStro'S attacks on the United States,
this country should take firm and i'm
mediate steps to insure that there is
no recurrence of the incident in which
American shores apparently were used
as a base of operations by anti-CaStro
forces.
The circumstances Of the aerial
bombardment of Havana with counter
revolutionary leaflets last Wednesday
are still far from clear. The FBI, how
ever, is unequivocal in its statements
that the flight "emanated from the
United States" and that it was led by
Major Pedro Diaz LAM, the former
Cuban air force chief who has been liv-
ing in Florida since his break with the
Castro regime. If the FBI report is
correct-and there is no reason to doubt
it-Major Diaz LAM has seriously abused
the sanctuary which this country has
given him. The result can only be to
further inflame the growing deteriora-
ton of relations between the United
States and Cuba.
Over the week end, it was an
nounced, planes slipped through Cuban
patrols for still another pamphlet raid.
The origin of these flights was not re-
ported, but we hope that moves already
have been made to prevent such take
offs from the East Coast.
Premier Castro, meanwhile, is reel
ing under the strains of increasing dis
sension at home, as evidenced by the
bomb throwing riots in Havana which
conceded with the leaflet bombardment
on Wednesday and, more recently, by
the sudden arrest of Mr.. CaStro'S old
friend and fellow revolutionary, Major
Hubert Matos. It is unfortunate that
part of the Premier's reaction has been
to increase his vituperative expressions
against the United States. In four
hour radio diatribe to his people, the
Premier said that Cubans hope ito gain
the favorable reaction of the American
people to help u.s." His manner of
acquiring it, however, is strange indeed
coupling this hope with allegations of
bad faith and unfriendly acts by this
country in regard to sugar quotas and
other matters Nor was there anything
in the planning of today's mass demon
stration in Havana which alters this
appraisal.
Amid such highly charged emo
tional atmosphere, however, we should
make every reasonable effort to guard
against needless 'provocation of further
misunderstanding The reported flight
of Major Diaz LAM is prime example
of Just the sort of thing to be avoided.

Asio's Harsh Conflict

India and Communist China, two
neighboring nations containing more
than one-third Of the earth's popula-
ton, appear today to be heading into
period Of harsh conflict that may be-
come major chapter in world history.
BaSically, 1t is a conflict that has
been inevitable for many generations
and would have materialized long ago
except for two primary circumstances.
One was the lack of strong central
government in China, by which the vast
manpower and other great resources
of the country could be modified and
effectively directed in bid for Asian
leadership. The other was the presence
and power of European colonial rule
throughout South Asia, particularly that
of Britain in India and Burma, as a
bulwark against any ChipeSe expansion
southwark. These factors for maintain
ing the status quo have disappeared.
A decade ago, an aggressive Red
regime took over China. One of its
earliest actions, in 1851, was to establish
sovereignty over Tibet-largest of the
buffer states between India and China.
At approximately the. same time, Com
muniSt maps began to show other sub
Stantial areas south of the previously
accepted frontier as Chinese territory"
"a clearly advertised notice OF what
was to come. Meanwhile, the partition
of India and the emergence of political
independence throughout the southern
part of the continent marked triumph
of principle but a reduction in absolute
power. In brief, the balance was swing
ing in favor of a rapaciouS Peiping.
BY themselves, the border "inci-
dents" of recent months might be con-
sidered relatively unimportant. Most of
the clashes at arms have involved few
men in territory largely uninhabited,
although the latest to be reported in
volved the killing or capture of approx
mately score of Indian frontier police.
The pattern, however, has been con-
sistent one-of Chinese penetration into
the disputed areas and contemptuouS
disregard by Peiping for international
reaction. Despite Chinese professions OF
"age-old friendship" for India, New
Delhi'S protests have drawn only coun-
tercharges and there has been no effort
to allay the apprehensionS Of other
smaller states nearby. Even SurpriS-
ingly impartial statement by Radio
Moscow, deploring the troubles and ex-
pressing confidence" that they could
be settled in a spirit Of traditional
friendship" has brought no change in
Peiping policies.
Although aroused to unusual anger
in his protests, Prime Minister Nehru
has warned against "brave talk" in his
own country. AS of now, at least, the
conflict seems unlikely to broaden into
war in the conventional sense. But as
of now, also, it seems destined to go on
bitterly and with consequences difficult
to forecast.
