New Proposals For Negotiations On
Future Of Cypress Now Seems Likely
Bv CHARLES M. McCASN
United I'ress Staff (orropondep.
fherc may be some important
developments soon in the Cyprus
situation.
(ireat Uritain is m w reviewing
itpoliry on the Mediterranean
island which it has made its prin-
cipal military base in the Middle
East. i
It seems to be increasingly like-l
ly that out of the review will conn-
new proposals for negotiations on
the future of Cyprus.
These negotiations. it is indieat- '
fd, would involve Britain, (ireece,
Turkey and the (ireek Cypriot is-
landei.. who d< maud that Hritain
hand over Cyprus to tjr -ece.
It is indicated also that the Unit-
ed Mate.-, be invited to play a part
as a friedly observer
Negotiations on Cyprus have
been suspendi-d since early in
Match «hrn talks between Hrit-
ain and Greek Orthodox Satholic I
Archhishop Mukarios, the Cypriot
Nationalist leader, broke down.
Force With Force
Since then Hritain has embarked
on a policy of meeting force with
lorce.
Archbishop Makarios has been
deported to the Seychelles Islands
in the Indian Ocean, accused of
direct complicity in Greek Cypri-
ot violence. Two rebels have been
hanged. Hut violence has continued.
Greece is bitterly angry over
the deportation of Makarios and
the execution of the r *els. .
Greek Foreign Ministery Spyros
Thotokis has b -en forced to re-
sign because of accusations that
he took a lukewarm attitude to-
ward the demand that Britain give
up Cyprus.
Tliere have been serious riots
between Greek Cypriots, who
make up per cent of the is-
land's 500.ihm) population, and
Tuikish Cypriots who make up the
other 20 per cent.
Turkey is showing increasing in-

Psychiatrists Somi
As Traffic Held
UNIVERSITY PARK. Pa. <0J >
— A nationally known safe-
ty expert believes major cities
could reduce traffic accidents by
hiring psychiatrists for their po-
lice departments.
Amos E. Neyhart, head of the
Institute of Public Safety at Penn
sylvania State University believes
a large number of highway crashes
can be blamed on the psychological
makeup of drivers.
"Fines and jail sentences are not
the final answers to our traffic
problem," Neyhart said. "Driver
attitudes must be understood and
changed. In this field a psychia-
trist would be of great help."
Neyhart is the father of driver
education courses in the United
States. He conducted the first driv-
er course at State College High
School here in 1934 and inaugurat-
ed driver training classes on the
Penn State campus in 19.'!*!.
An emotionally unstable person
is a bad traffic risk, often lacks
driving skills and judgement and
shows poor driving attitudes Ney-
hart said.
Other safer driving recommen-
dations by Neyhart include; a more
rigid mental examination for driv
er's licenses, the placing of all new
drivers on two years' probation
and a three instead of a one-year
license peroid with a physical
exam, drivfhg test, and traffic rules
quiz at each renewal.
Move To Suburbs
Makes Problems
CHICAGO (TP)— The steady
push of urban populations into the
(suburbs has produced a host of
new problems, according to Mrs.
Rollin Brown, president of the Na-
tional Congress of Parents and
Teachers.
"Things have not always been
what families expected when they
hopefully niived out to new
homes," Mrs. Brown said. "Many
young families find themselves iso-
lated in the suburbs, and they
aren't quite sure what to do about
it. The PTA is in a position to
brifig these people into close'r re
lationship with their cjmmuni-
ties."
Mrs. Brown said the most com-
mon problems facing the suburbs
are: overcrowded, sometimes un
derstaffed, schools; lack of ade-
quate medical service, parks and
other recreational facilities; some-
times inadequate pjlice and fire
protection and overtaxed trans-
portation facilities.

terest in the situation. It says that
the rights of the Turkish minority
must be fully safeguarded in any
settlement. It says also that if
Britain gives up Cyprus, Turkey
must have it. It seems prepared
to back up its position with force
if necessary.
It looks, on the surface, as if
there is an almost hopeless stale-
mate.
Demands Policy Review
But for some weeks now, there
have been growing demands in
Britain, in which some of Prime
Minister Anthony Eden's conserv-
atives join, for a review of Cyprus
policy.
That review got under way Mon-
day in London. It involves Eden,
Colonial Secretary Alan Lennox-
Boyd, Field Marshal Sir John
Harding, governor and command-
er in chief of Cyprus, and the
British chiefs of staff.
The review seems to be what
might be called a positive one.
That is. that Eden intends to find
a new approach to the whole situa-
tion.
There are strong indications that
within the next two weeks Eden
may make a most important dec-
laration on Cyprus.
This declaration probably will
include a new basis for negotia-
tions much broader than those
with Makarios.
This time, any negotiations most
likely would involve directly the
governments of the three coun-
tries concerned—Britain, Greece
and Turkey.

Forest Fires Still
Are Big Problem
WASHINGTON — 0J.P) — The
problem of forest fire control is
still far from solution according
to Ernest F. Swift, director of the
National Wildlife Federation.
Writing in the federation's Con-
servation News, Swift said sports-
men in many parts of the nation
have placed more emphasis on
"promoting their favorite recrea-
tion" than the "greater civic re-
sponsibility" of preventing fire in
our forests.
Too few sportsmen are aware of
the clanger of fire to wildlife and
other forest resources, he said.
Community prosperity is based on
protection of watershed areas, the
timber resources themselves and
wildlife, he added.
Timber is the economic back-
bone of many communities, "the
difference between ghost towns
and prosperity," he pointed out.
Swift suggested that sportsmen's
group urge enactment of legisla-
tion to perpetuate proper forest
management which would involve
Thursday Church
Services Forecast
PITTSBURGH A Pitts
burgh minister feels that church-
going on Sundays may be outmod-
ed in another 15 years or so, and
that services probably will be held
on Thursday evenings instead.
The Rev. Irving R. Murray, pas-
tar of the First Unitarian Church,
said the change will be brought
about by the growth of automation
and a resulting increase in the lei-
eure time of the average Amercan.
"By 1970, probably every family
will have its own plane," the Rev.
Murray said. "Churches fighting
the old worn out battle for the
Sabbath 'blue laws' will find them
selves increasingly empty.
"Sunday mornings, the members
of a church congregation will be
flying back from Paris of Hawaii,"
he said. "It will do no good to try
to oppose the inevitable."
The Rev. Murray said it was
"arrogant of the churches to as-
sume they have the right to ini
pise the village, agricultural Sab
bath of anicent times on modern
urban, industrial peoples.
"The church of tomorrow will
very possibly put its maximum em-
phasis on a Thursday evening serv-
ice," he said.
