Cyprus city's
Streets Under
Troop Patrols

NICOSIA, Cyprus (UPI)-
Greek and Turkish troops under
British command today pa
trolled the streets of Nicosia to
enforce a cease-fire between
the islands warning Greek ma
jority and Turkish minority.
There were no reports of fur
ther clashes today for the first
time since Saturday when fight
ing broke out between Greek
and Turkish Cypriots. Since
then, official casualty figures
show II dead and about so
wounded. Unconfirmed reports
place the toll at 200 dead and
wounded.
The fighting started over pro-
posed changes in the conStitu.
ton Of the th~ree-year old island
republic. The changes, support
ed by President Archbishop
Makarios, head of the Greek
community, we're viewed by the
Turks as a threat to their
rights.
Britain, which maintains
bases on the island and which
ruled Cyprus for nearly 100
years before independence in
1860, was called on to take
command of the peace-keeping
operation because the Cyprus
police lacked the strength to
prevent the spread Of fighting.
Mai. Gen. Edward Young,
B .Sh commanding officer,
was put in charge of the three
na'ion operation a few hours
af.2r President Johnson called
on CypriotS to end hostilities.
The Presidents message. de-
liyer2d by us. Ambassador
Fraser Wilkins, did not "pre-
sumo to judge the root, causes,
or rights and wrongs" Of the
dispute, but it called for a

226 Are Victims
During Holiday
On US Highways
BY United Press International

Christmas holiday traffic &C.
cidents claimed the lives Of 226
persons across the nation, a Ii.
nal tabulation by the National
Safety Council and United Press
International showed today.
California led all states with
SO highway deaths during the
holiday period from 6 pm.
local time Christmas Eve until
midnight Christmas day.
Disastrous fires, one of which
killed IL sleeping youngsters al
Charleston, SC, boosted the
overall holiday death toll to
28S.
The traffic toll fell nearly
midway in the Safety Councils
advance estimated that from
200 TO $50 Americans would die
on the nations streets and high.
ways. The toll fell well below
the record of 253 for a one-day
Christmas holiday set in 1916.
Highway casualties, however,
were more than twice normal
this Christmas. Safety experts
blamed the higher death rate on
the tremendous influx of auto
mobiles onto highways and "the
old problem of driving too fast
for conditions"
The Safety Council said the
New Years holiday would be
considered a one-day mid-week
holiday like Christmas. The
death counting period will run
from 6 p. m, local time New
Years Eve to midnight New
Years Day.
In addition to the Christmas
traffic deaths, fires claimed 81
lives, seven persons died in
plane crashes and 20 persisted
in miscellaneous accidents.
Behind California in the in.
dividual state traffic toll were
Texas with 16, Kansas IA, Mich.
igan -, and Florida and North
Carolina with II each.
Eight states escaped traffic
deaths during the holiday. They
were Alaska, Colorado, Della.
