It was pointed out here that Makarios has only been told of the plan, which would bring 10,000 troops from NATO countries in Cyprus, on an informal basis. Between 1,000 and 2,000 American troops would take part. It was hoped that the Greek government might be able to persuade Kyprianou to try to change Makarioss although at latest reports the foreign minister also opposed the plan.

Makarios has said that any international peace force for his Mediterranean Island should be supervised by the United Nations, not NATO. Britain, Greece and Turkey, all partners of the United States in NATO, guaranteed the independence of Cyprus when it ceased being a British colony in 1961. But they are reluctant to see the problem go before the U.N. Security Council for fear Russia might take a hand in the final solution. The Soviet Union has a veto in the Security Council.

Under the plan worked out in London a NATO force of 10,000 men, including up to 2,000 Americans, would be landed in Cyprus to prevent another outbreak of communal warfare. About 200 Cypriots were killed in fighting last December. and Kings County as a result of request by the P-TA and school administrators. Action was taken after a study showing a population shift which had more than three-fifths of Monroes students reaching school across streets marked only with yield signs.

These are all vigorous, dedicated members who believe in Barry Fears Nixon Most KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) Sen. Barry Goldwater, hopeful of winning midlands support for the Republican presidential nomination, pictured himself the. underdog Friday night and said former Vice President Richard M. Nixon was his strongest opponent.

He said Nixon was strong, not because of a possible endorsement from former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, but because he ran such a close race against the late President Kennedy. Speaking at a $100-a-plate Jackson County Republican fund-raising dinner, Goldwater said the former vice president was like a fighter who missed the crown by just a few points Of course, he is high on the list for the nomination. Goldwater renewed his attack on the administration and the U. S.

missile program. He sale the missiles had not been tested and we cant test them. Im not alone in this, he added. The generals of the Strategic Air Command am scientists are in doubt about them. In a news conference earlier, Goldwater said he had no intention of accepting New York Gov.

Nelson Rockefellers chal lenge to enter the West Virgin ia presidential primary. Rocktfeller doesnt influence my moves, Goldwater said. We planned a long time ago not to enter the primary, and. as far as Im concerned, it still stands. On farm legislation, Goldwat- er said agriculture was suffering because of government control.

He said there was a certain withdrawal of government control. He said there was a certain withdrawal of government control in cotton.

By the time the primary election rolls around, he added, we are going to be the most effective Republican endorsing organization in existence. Officially Recognised UROC was created last April an attempt to combat the highly successful tactics of the CDC which turned out hundreds of volunteers to ring doorbells and man telephones during the last election. The Republican Party recognized UROC as an official volunteer arm of the party last November. The UROC board of governors opened a one-day meeting here today to organize policy committees, consider resolutions and map plans for the groups statewide endorsing convention in Bakersfield In May. Reagan said that, at the moment, the field is fairly clear for Arizonas Sen.

Barry Gold-water to win endorsement of UROC for the Republican nomination for the presidency. Goldwater will be the featured banquet speaker May 2 at the Bakersfield convention. Other Candidates The group also has invited other GOP candidates who have declared for the presidency, including Harold Stassen, Sen. Margaret Chase Smith and New Yorks Gov. Nelson Rockefeller.

Former Vice President Richard M. Nixon will also be invited when and if he formally declares himself a candidate, Rea-gan said. Although Rockefeller has been invited, Reagan made it clear the New York governor did not make himself popular with UROC when he criticized the organization for its position on the Rumford Fair Housing Act. UROC has condemned the Rumford Act and is actively participating in the campaign by the California Real Estate Association to circulate a petition designed to repeal the fair housing law. Radical Right At a press conference in San Francisco, Rockefeller was re- ported to have called UROC a radical right wing group because of its position on the housing law.

Todays meeting of the board of governors will probably take up the anti-Rumford Law petition and give overwhelming approval to the drive to repeal it. Although the board of governors has only 16 members, more than 300 delegates are expected to attend the day-long meeting in the Hotel Californian. are required for this non-teaching facility.

Before adjourning the board heard brief reports by Superintendent Maynard Liljeblad on the districts McAteer Act program and projected district programs for diagnosis of reading difficulties in fourth through sixth grades. Plans have been made for a study hall to open lata this month at Lincoln School, with excellent response reported in initial contacts regarding special classes for parents to be offered as well. Nineteen parents have expressed interest in the classes, said Dr. Liljeblad, with letters scheduled to go out to others next week.

The district Is now checking, he said, on possibilities of financing these adult facets of the McAteer program through use of special community service funds.

Azevedo and Turkey both agreed officially today to a NATO peace force on Cyprus, (But reliable sources in Cyprus said Cypriot President Archbishop Makarios would announce later today that he had rejected the plan. The sources said the Greek Cypriots reached a unanimous decision to reject the plan during a two-hour meeting at Makarios presidential palace. Foreign Minister Spyros Kyprianou and Glafkos derides, the two Greek Cypriot delegates to1 the London peace conference, took part in the discussions after flying back to Nicosia.) Makarios thus far has publicly rejected the proposal that that North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) troops make up a force to police his bitterly divided island republic. He wants a United Nations force, sent under a Security Council resolution, to be brought in to insure there is no repetition of the fighting between the Greek and Turkish communities that cost at least 200 lives during the Christmas season. But reliable sources here in London said heavy pressure was being brought on Makarios today by the Greek government and an important group of representatives of the Greek Cypriot community in Cyprus.

Official quarters in London said they did not expect a reply from Makarios before Sunday. Success of the entire plan now depends upon him. Makarios was expected to Public Records Justice Court Gerald Wayne Litchfield, 22, was ordered held to answer in Superior Court on felony drunken driving Friday, following preliminary hearing in Hanford Justice Court.

Poppleton gave technical testimony linking Beckwith with the rifle which the prosecution contends was used to kill Evers. Poppleton said that farmer I. T. McIntyre turned over to the FBI 53 empty cartridge shells which he said were fired from a rifle he claimed to have traded to Beckwith about four years ago.

McIntyre testified Friday that he traded an Enfield rifle to Beckwith about four years ago and believes the alleged murder weapon now In the courtroom was the same gun. Vet Bonuses Are Offered Veterans who have moved to this area from other states may be eligible for bonuses from their home states, according to Kenneth G. Wilson, veterans service officer of Kings County, who volunteered to provide information and assistance.

Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Dakota, Vermont and Montana are paying a World War II bonus. Korean veterans may still apply in Illinois, Massachusetts and Vermont. Former national guardsmen of Vermont who served on the Mexican border may apply for a bonus.

Nixon for governor in 1962, said Friday that Nixons announced disavowal of public life after that election is working against his chances of becoming the Republican standard bearer in 1964. Brown, himself a passive candidate for the second spot on the 1964 Democratic slate, said he believed Nixon is working very hard in the wings for the Republican nomination. But, he said, an unscheduled Ladds Death Cause Still Not Known GLENDALE (UPI) -Funeral services were conducted today for blond film star Alan Ladd, whose exact cause of death at the age of 50 remains a mys tery, although the police and coroner have all but ruled out foul play or any deliberate cause. Services at the Church of the Recessional in Forest Lawn Memorial Park here were scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. PST for the star of This Gun for Hire, Shane, and other motion pictures.

Ladd, who was found dead in his Palm Springs home Wednesday and thought at first to have been a heart attack victim, may have succumbed because of something he ate or drank that attacked his central nervous system. Riverside County Deputy Coroner Robert Drake suggested the latter reason, but said the specific cause must await the results of further laboratory tests expected to be completed by Monday. An autopsy has ruled out a heart seizure or any other disease, and the possibility of suicide, Drake said. Police Chief Gus Kettman of Palm Springs said there was no evidence of foul play. He said he planned no further investigation.

Ladd, a comparatively short leading man, starred in some 40 films and will be seen in his last picture, The Carpetbaggers, still to be released. New Gas Well In Kings County By HOWARD KEGLEY Pennant Operating acting as operator for A. L. Mess-mer of Orange, has brought in a new zone discovery well in the harvester gas field in Kings County. The field is located seven miles northwest of the Trico gas field and 17 miles southeast of the Kettleman North Dome oil field.

Pennant completed SLF No. 2-11 for 1,000,000 cubic feet per day of gas from an interval at 3.736-38 feet in the Atwell Island zone of Pliocene age. Previous production at Harvester came from Mya sand at an average depth of 2,800 feet. Shell Oil Co. opened the field in 1950, abandoning the discovery well three years later.

The area was reactivated four years ago by completion of Beach, Church Bells Farms No. 1-13. attack on the press by Nixon after his 1962 loss, and his announcement that he was out of public life for good, have hurt Nixons chances. When youre in public life, you just cant afford to make a public statement like that Brown said. The governor also repeated his stand that he will make no effort to obtain the Democratic Vice Presidential nomination, but will accept if it is offered by President Johnson.

Johnson, he predicted, will win the Democratic Presidential nomination by Browns political discourse was offered prior to the opening of a two-day World Ocean Conference he convened to as-sess and encourage study of the sea. Switching back to the Republicans, Brown judged that New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller did himself a lot of good with his recent tour of California in his bid for the Republican nomination. Hes been a good governor, Brown said. I think he knows hes a better Democrat than Republican.

Rocky Says US Failed In Cuba NASHUA, N.H. (UPI) Communist Cuba is a perfect example of the leadership gap built throughout the world during the administration of President Johnson and the late President Kennedy, Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller charged Friday night. Cuba is a symbol of failure; failure to anticipate events; failure to rally the forces of freedom for joint action in the cause of freedom; failure to follow through after the crisis of the moment has passed.

Rockefeller said in a speech before the Nashua Chamber of Commerce. It was part of a brisk eight hour tour of three communities in southern New Hampshire, scene of the first-in-the nation presidential primary March 10. American prestige and influence abroad has suffered sharply in the past three years, he said. He termed the Cuban situation a grave challenge which the United State failed to meet during the missile crisis. Rockefeller called for: Removal of all Soviet troops and weapons from Cuba.

Ending Cuban sponsored Communist subversion, sabo-t a and guerrilla warfare against other Latin American countries. Giving the people of Cuba the chance to freely choose their type of government.
