Then she read the statement which she said was prepared by her attorney, Myron Erlich of Washington.

In a major policy speech Tuesday Rusk sought to explain why this country had one kind of policy toward such countries as Cuba and Red China and another for Russia and Yugoslavia. The question has been raised recently by Allied nations in connection with U. S. policy of selling wheat to the Soviet Union while seeking to stop other powers from trading with Cuba Rusk's address to the International Union of Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers union was considered the most extensive given by a top administration official. The central theme of Rusk's argument was that U.S. policy toward a Communist country should be tailored to the behavior of that nation. "We shall continue to differentiate our policy according to the conduct of the various Communist states," he said.

Secretary General Thant's announcement of an impasse in peace talks, and President Archbishop Makarios' apparently unconstitutional order increasing Greek Cypriot security forces. Meets With Kuchuk British special representative Cyril Pickard met Turkish community leader and Vice President Fazil Kuchuk today. Pickard said later that "Britain is still considering the constitutionality of Makarios' alarm move." Makarios' action would unilaterally increase the Greek Cypriot security force to 7,000 men from its present number of 2,000. "The move is a clear viola- tion of the constitution," Kuchuk said, "and a bid that would appear to legalize the murder, arson and which has been perpetrated against the Turkish Cypriots since Dec. 21." While Kuchuk and Pickard talked, Makarios' newly recruited "police auxiliaries" drilled in roads in Nicosia suburbs. Violence "Likely" Kuchuk warned that Makarios' move was "likely to bring new violence here." The Turkish leader said Makarios may tell the British that, since has 7,000 Greeks under arms, "Cyprus will no longer need the 7,000 peacemakers" the British troops (See CYPRUS, Page 4) looting British Hopes For Breaking Cyprus Stalemate Rests With 'Little1 Six' In UN Security Council N.Y.
