A AFTER BLOODY STRUGGLE:

Withdrawal

Vance Meets With
Makarios; To Seek
Settlement Approval
ATHENS, Greece (A) - Diplo-
matic sources said yesterday
Greece and Turkey have reached
agreement on settling the Cyprus
crisis and credited U.S. and an At-
lantic Alliance mediator with
achieving the settlement.
Cyrus R. Vance, President John-
son's special envoy, met in Cyprus
with President Makarios, Greek
Cypriot leader, apparently to sell
him on the settlement.
Manlio Brosio, secretary-general
of the North Atlantic Treaty Or-
ganization, shuttled between An-
kara and Athens working out de-
tails of the agreement.
Agreement Terms
The agreement is generally be-
lieved to call for Turkey to im-
mediately drop its warlike posture
and for Greece to withdraw some
8,000 to 12,000 Greek soldiers from
Cyprus. This is clandestine force
far above the 950 allowed by the
Zurich Treaty of 1959 setting up
the eastern Mediterranean island
of Cyprus as an independent re-
public.
It was not immediately made
clear if both the legitimate Greek
force of 950 and the 650 Turkish'
soldiers would be removed and the
policing of the split island left en-'
tirely to the 4,500-man United
Nations force on the scene.
Makarios opposed the withdraw-
al of Greek troops unless all the
Turkish troops were recalled. But
Turkey insisted its garrison on
Cyprus is needed to protect the
Turkish Cypriot minority.
Head Off War3
Whether Vance won over Maka-
rios was not known, but it appear-
ed Greece and Turkey were bent
on going ahead with the agreement
to head off war between these two
NATO allies.
On his return to Athens, Brosib!
said he was optimistic over a solu-
tion but "there is more work to be'
done.
Then he went into another hud-
dle with Greek officials and at
nightfall. Diplomatic informants
said the fringe details were ironed
out.
As evidence of the easing of ten-'
sion, the Greek government called
off the combat alert of its armed
forces. They were placed instead
on a state of readiness.
Other reported concessions by
Greece would be the removal of
Gen. George Grivas, commander
of the Greek national guard in
Cyprus, and indemnification for
two Turkish villages attacked by
the Greeks two weeks ago.
This was the incident that ig-
nited the long-smoldering Turkish
anger, expressed once before in the
crisis of late 1963 and 1964.
At that time, attacks on Turkish
Cypriot villages by Greek Cypriots
touched off the first crisis.
As they did in this crisis, Turkey
threatened 'invasion, marshaled
naval forces and sent jet planes
zooming over Cyprus.
Turkish jets swept low over Ni-
cosia, Cypriot capital, Wednesday
while Vance was there.

ADEN (P-At the stroke of mid-
night, southern Arabia became
yesterday the independent South
Yemen Peoples Republic, ending
a bloody rebellion and 128 years
of British rule in Aden.
The republic will be ruled by the

headed by Qahtan Al Shaabi, who#
hammered out a final agreement
with the British in Geneva Tues-
day and then flew back for the
independence celebrations.

HOUSE

WASHINGTON (P)-The John-
son administration presented to
Congress yesterday a tax and
spending plan it said could lower
this year's budget deficit to $13.7
billion and insure confidence in
the dollar, if enacted quickly.
Secretary of the Treasury Henry
H. Fowler said approval this year
of the plan-or one like it-is an
"inescapable responsibility of the
Congress in the wake of British
devaluation and last week's run on
gold.
"Delay can be as damaging as
defeat," he said in testimony be-
fore the House Ways and Means
Committee.
Fowler renewed the adminis-
tration's plea for the 10 per cent
surcharge on income taxes and
stuck to the originalteffective
dates-Oct. 1 for individuals and
July 1 for corporations, both 1967.
The surcharge would be calcu-
lated to raise an extra $7.4 billion
in extra revenue this year.
As part of the same package,
however, he proposed in legislative
form budget cuts of $4.1 billion
during the current fiscal year
which ends next June 30. This

would be accomplished by a for-
mula "reducing the authority of
government agencies to commit
funds.
Fowler said it would not be feasi-
ble to collect through withholding
from paychecks any of the addi-
tional individual taxes which would
be due through December under
the plan.
Collection would be made, he
said, when taxpayers file their
1967 income tax returns early
next year. He said that for two-
thirds of the taxpayers the sur-
charge would be reflected in-small-
er refunds rather than any addi-
tional payments.
Strong support for the admin-
istration plan also came in testi-
mony from Budget Bureau director
Charles L. Schultze and Chairman
William McChesney Martin Jr. of
the Federal Reserve Board.
Martin called the spending cuts
meaningful but said he would be
happier if more cuts were made.
Even before the hearing opened,
the odds for adoption of a~ tax
bill this year dropped virtually to
zero when committee Chairman
