gered labor leaders with his stand
on two other points:
. Provisions stiffening the Taft
Hartley Act should be right
Squarely" in the labor reform bill
under consideration by Congress.
. He is against renewing the
emergency recession legislation
which extended the duration of
unemployment compensation pay
ments for most workers from 26
to 80 weeks.
The Presidents stand on the
labor bill appeared to end any
prospect of an administration
compromise with Senator Ken
needy, of Massachusetts,, chief
sponsor of the most widely backed
Democratic bill.
The Kennedy Irwin measure last
week won the approval of Sem
ate Labor Subcommittee, which
rejected Mr.. Eisenhower's bill.
The administrators bill would
tighten Taft Hartley restrictions
on secondary boycotts and bar So
called "blackmail" picketing. Sen
ator Kennedy and most Demo-
Gratis favor leaving any such Taft
Hartley revisions to a separate bill,
to be taken up after Congress
disposes of labor reform legisla-
ton.
Secretary of Labor Mitchell had
indicated he was ready to go along
with the Kennedy two-stage plan.
He was apparently overruled by
the President.
To complicate matters further,
Chairman Mcclellan of the Senate
Rackets Committee on Thursday
introduced his own bill. Similar
to the measure proposed by the
Arkansas Democrat last year. it
is in some respects tougher than
either the Kennedy or administra-
ton bills.

same time. It was, In fact, i'm
mediately after the end Of the
U. N. debate, while Greek Foreign
Minister Averoff- Tossizza and Tur-
: kish Foreign Minister Zorlu were
still at U. N. headquarters, that
the first important contacts be-
tween them took place. Out Of
these original feelers grew nego-
tiations, and ultimately the Zurich
accord.
The u. N. has made blunderS
in Its time, including its original
refusal In 1854 to discuss the
Cyprus case. A refusal which was
followed promptly by arms snug
Cling and then large-scale terror.
Some Credit to U. N.
But nearly everyone close to
the Cyprus problem credits the
U. N. with an important-indeed
the critical - assist toward q
Cyprus settlement in 1858.
The British are grateful also to
the United States for its signifi-
cant help at several important
stages. The Anglo-American ALI
ance never was on more cordial
ground than it is here. Taylor G.
Belcher, the American consul gen.
eral, did a great deal of significant
acknowledgements work, not all of
which can be revealed at this stage.
Anglo-American gratitude and
solidarity is another element in
the setback for the Kremlin, it
is pointed out here. The role of
the local Cypriot Communists has
been curious one. Though beaten
up, murdered and terrorized by
EOKA-which of course acted
always in close accord with the
clerical right wing-the Commu-
niStS never struck back.
Experts here say this was a
measure of discipline of the Mos
cow-trained party leadership in
Cyprus. EOKA was serving Mos
cows global interests well; attack
ing the British bases, splitting
sNATO, dyhamiting the Balkan al
lance, pushing Greece toward
neutralism. So, no matter how
great the affront on the local level.
the Communists took it and turned
the other cheek.
Threot TO Future
They clearly will be serious
threat for the future. The cement
which united the right wing-that
is, opposition to Britain and desire
for "enosis"-is now vanishing.
What will replace it? Will the
rightists stay together to fight
communism, which obviously is
cohesive, disciplined, purposeful,
and which already has control Of
at least 10 per cent Of organized
labor here?
This and many other questions
remain for the future. For the
moment, all that seems important
is that Cyprus can live and breathe
once more without fear Of violent
death. The almond blossom has
relaced the Molotov cocktail as
the symbol of Cyprus today.

long been forecast. But the four
Western nations declared they

problem in its entirety at q

which representatives of both
East and West Germany could
be invited as advisers. This
latter action was something of a
concession for the West, since
previously any participation by

Final Stage Setting

Last weeks events in the arena
of international affairs were in a
sense the final Suggesting, the
laSt-minute rehearsals, for a
drama on which the immediate
fate Of civilization might well de-
pend. Before many more weeks
have passed, the curtain will rise
on a play, Of a still-unknown
number of acts and scenes, in
which the pattern of the future
world will be revealed. This play
will differ, however, from those
of the theater:
It will be starkly real, the actors
will be playing for survival, and
the directors will know that even
a minor mistake might prove dis
astrous.
AS the principal actors and di-
rectors prepare for the approach
ing performance, one of them has
been seriously handicapped in his
abilities to produce. How much
handicapped is still a matter of
conjecture, since the doctors at
tending Secretary of State Dulles
have thus far been extremely
guarded in their prognosis. But
the Secretary, long without chal-
lenge as the chief architect Of the
Vests policies in the cold war, is
confined to Walter Reed Army
Hospital with diagnosis Of CLAN
dular cancer. And the West is
asking: Can he, despite his illness.
continue to provide the leader
ship necessary at this critical
time? And If not, then who can?

him fulsomely, and in effect re-
tracted his German proposals.
Many observers saw in the
Dulles illness an ironic boon to
the West-if the Secretary proves
able to carry on, even from his
hospital room. Popular sympathy
for his courage and determine
ton, coupled with the disarming
of his opponents and the strong
sentiments of the President, could
in this view prove decisive that
the Dulles tactics, whatever they
are, will be unquestioned. Even
in Western Europe, where Mr..
Dulles has been rather less than
popular, there was discernible
trend toward closing Western

A FiRsT-HAND REPORT
Many Pitfalls Await
Cyprus Adjustment
BY WILLIAM r.. FRYE
Contributing writer

NICOSIA, Cyprus. - Mountain
goats are clambering over craggy
hillsides here where EOKA terror
fists used to rendezvous. In the
valley pink almond blossoms and
silvery olive branches reflect the
warm sun.
Cyprus has heaved q great sigh
of relief. More than three years
Of murder, terror and hatred seem
at last to have ended and this

land believes It's nightmare is over.
Actually, in b very real sense,
Cyprus difilculties may only have
begun. Communism. imitation.
political strife and even possible
bankruptcy - barring extensive
subsidies from abroad-lie ahead
to challenge the emerging new
country.
There Is profound concern over
the implications Of clerical rule,
for Archbishop Makarios seems
certain to be the first president Of
independent Cyprus In fact-if
not in name-and the anticlericals
here are strong, indeed often
fanatic.
But none Of this seems as i'm
portant this week as the fact that
for the first time since April /,
1855, when terrorism exploded, 1t
is possible to 60 shopping on Led
"a street, the Fifth Avenue Of old
Nicosia, without fearing a bullet
In the back or q bottle Of flaming
gasoline in the face.
Some Apprehension
There is Of course, some fear
that the miracle settlement-as
the Zurich accord is called-will
break down, but If 1t does, Cyprus
will not easily go back to living on
the edge of a volcano.
The man responsible for dyna-
hitting the hopes and prayers Of
tens of thousands of ordinary
people here may find he has
destroyed himself, even If 1t is a
man Of Makarios' stature and in
f1uence.
Only the Communists have q
genuine motive to sabotage an in
dependent Cyprus. Moscow has
suffered one of its most jolting
cold-war setbacks here.
Last summer anything up to
and including a Greco-TurkiSh
war and a break up of NATO'S
southern flank was possible. Now
the rift is all but healed and there
even have been steps to revive
the Balkan alliance of Yugoslavia,
Greece and Turkey.
Taken together with Trans firm
stand against Soviet pressure, the
Cyprus accord will mean an i'm
portant strengthening of the
Western position in the whole
Mediterranean area.
Soviet incursions in the Middle
East have thus to some extent
backfired. 1t was in large part
the Soviet thrust into Iraq which
jolted Turkey into a bargaining
mood, persuading her to drop her
demand from partition and to
accept instead independence with
local autonomy.
Greek Position Realistic
Even more important, Greece
discovered to her surprise at the
1858 United Nations General AS
sembly that her about demand
for unfettered Cypriot independ-
ence under conditions likely to
lead promptly to "enosis"-or
union with Greece-was unattain-
able.
Expected U. NJ support for
total independence never ma
terialized, thanks in considerable
part to q United States stand
against it. Rebuffed in her effort
to obtain an extreme solution,
Greece began to bargain realiS-
tically for q compromise.
Thus both parties softened and
sought a solution at roughly the
