MARCH 15, 1964 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE U.S.-Greek Ties Survive Riots REPUBLICAN CONTEST: Hopefuls Take Campaign To Califorma By GERALD MILLER Associated Press Staff Writer ATHENS-What's behind the recent wave of anti-American- demonstrations and rioting in Greece over the Cyprus issue? Is this traditional ally seriously turning on the United States? Out of a summary of views of people close to the situation - Greek government officials, politi- cal writers and United States gov- ernment representatives here-two general answers emerge: National Roundup By The Associated Press CHATTANOOGA - Teamsters President James R. Hoffa, convict- ed on jury tampering charges, yes- terday lost a bid for a new trial. United States Dist. Judge Frank Wilson, who sentenced Hoffa to 8 years in prison and fined him $10,000 Thursday, formally over- ruled motions for a new trial. * * * LOUISVILLE-The flood threats of the overflowing Ohio- River sub- sided somewhat yesterday in the four states of Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, and Virginia. So far 11 have died in the flooding. 1) Confusion, Communist agi- tation, emotionalism and suspicion are behind the anti-American pro- tests. 2) Despite the protests, Greece is basically a pro-West country land and a friend of America. Truman at Funeral The news that former President Harry S. Truman was coming to the state funeral for King Paul of Greece was generally hailed here. He is affectionately referred to by many Greeks as Barba Tru- man (Uncle Truman) for his role in helping Greece survive the post- war years. In 1947 Truman asked Congress for a massive outpouring of economic and military aid to pull Greece from the misery of wartime destruction and save the Balkans from Communist con- quest in civil war. The Truman Doctrine was suc- ceeded by the Marshall Plan. The programs worked. Greece defeat- ed the Communists, became a NATO member and began the long hard pull toward increasing pros- perity. American military and economic aid up to last year came to a to- tal of $3.4 billion. Why So Crabby? Why then, with a history of that kind of assistance and support, has the United States come in for such hard knocks recently? I Why did students scream in front of the embassy things like "American assassins," "Johnson- Al Capone," "America hands off Cyprus," "Out with the 6th Fleet," and "Bravo Russia?" One reason is that emotional- ism over the issue of Cyprus where Green and Turkish ethnic groups are in conflict, runs so high that most people don't take pains to learn the facts. "Ninety-nine per cent of the Greek people don't have the slight- est idea what the American and British stands on Cyprus really are," one of Greece's most re- spected editorial writers, said. Leftists A large leftwing element in Greece, mainly Communist, is out to use any handy issue to foment agitation against America. Most of the demonstrators in the recent marches on the British and United States embassies were grade-school and high school stu- dents who didn't seem to know what was happening in the United Nations on the issue. Another reason is that the Unit- ed States joined Britain in a NATO peace proposal for Cyprus. To many Greeks Britain is automat- ically suspect because of its past control of Cyprus. The suspicion tends to rub off on anyone asso- ciating with Britain on the Cyprus issue. Don't Trust U.S. Another factor-and possibly the most important-is that a good number of Greeks honestly feel the United States is pro-Turkish in the dispute. They believe that Washington regards Turkey as a more important NATO military al- ly than Greece in the alliance's southern flank along the Soviet bloc. However, most observers tend to disregard the aid situation as a significant factor. It is true that the United States discontinued economic aid last year and that in recent years Turkey has been get- ting more. But up to now both countries have received about the same. It is no issue in the press and not at the anti-American rallies either. Greece is doing pretty well eco- nomically. Old Hostilities Behind it all simmer the antip- athies of centuries. Greece and Turkey have a history of mutual animosity. There are still Greeks who say their country will take back Constantinople, captured by the Turks in 1453. In Athens it is considered bad taste to call the city by its Turkish name of Is- tanbul. There remains the memory of the bloody 1922 war between Greece and Turkey. The Greeks lost, and thousands of Greek resi- dents of Anatolia were killed or driven from Turkey. Articulate Greeks of all politi- cal persuasions say Archbishop Makarios really wants union with Greece-the "enosis" slogan chant- ed in the demonstrations. "With British and American forces on Cyprus," observed a G r e e k political commentator, "there won't be any enosis." By J. W. DAVIS Associated Press Newsfeatures Writer WASHINGTON - Henry Cabot Lodge sat tight this week after his spectacular victory in the New Hampshire Republican Presiden- tial primary. Meanwhile New York Gov. Nel- son A. Rockefeller and Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Arizona) hit the hard campaign trail again, this time in California. A lot of people were puzzled by the New Hampshire results, and nobody but Lodge sounded really happy. Lodge Thanks Voters Lodge, who stayed at his am- bassador's post in South Viet Nam while Goldwater and Rockefeller nearly worked their heads off in New Hampshire, said of the voters there, "They have paid me the highest of compliments and I shall very carefully consider their action and all its meaning." At least as of now, Lodge said, "I do not plan ,to go to the United States. I do not intend to resign." Politician's Insight A professional politician's view of what the New Hampshire vote meant came from Republican chairman William E. Miller. He said the race for the party's Presi- dentinal nomination is still wide open, that Lodge's triumph was something of a regional feat, "but then you can't discount it, either." Nixon, it was pointed out by Sen.

Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz) paraded their sometimes clashing views before the California Republican As- sembly (CRA) yesterday. They spoke to delegates of the 14,000-member party organization who will vote today on whether they take sides in the Califor- nia Republican presidential pri- mary. Rockefeller forces, obviously short on support, called for no endorsement. Goldwater openly sought CRA backing and his people predicted he'll get it. The endorsement Is only advis- ory but it could have an impor- tant psychological effect in the June 2 primary contest for Cali- fornia's 86 votes at the GOP na- tional convention. Rockefeller urged Republicans to work together to build, a par- ty that will serve Americans in every walk of life, and, that will reject extremism of the left or the right. Later last night Goldwater flung charges of extremism back at Rockefeller and scoffed at Lodge as a "bankers' hours campaigner who hasn't a chance" of winning the nomination. He told a news conference his polls indicate that the New Hampshire setback had no effect on his early strength, largely centered among Southern Republicans.

President Johnson showed no great interest in what the Repub- licans were up to. The Democrats talked about a matter closer to home-the rela- tionship between Johnson and Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, who has been boomed in New Hampshire, Wisconsin and else- where for the Vice-Presidential spot on the Democratic ticket this year. It has been rumored since 1960, that Kennedy and Johnson don't get along. Lately there has been talk that they are actually feuding. Viewpoints Some comments: By Kennedy-"There is no sub- stance to these reports. I have the greatest regard for him." By a White House source-It is not true that Kennedy opposed the selection of Johnson for Vice- President in 1960: he and his brother John F. Kennedy were in agreement on choosing Johnson. By an associate of Robert Ken- nedy-"The Attorney General President Johnson have never very close. But they are no far apart than they were three mo ago. This talk of a feud is silly." Pro-Kennedy Goldwater. said he hopes Democrats do pick Kennedy Vice-President. He reasoned this would make the South red and make it easier for Republicans to win the Novel election. The Republican Presidential mary in California on June 2 be an entirely different propos than New Hampshire's. There be no write-ins. Goldwater Rockefeller will clash, with Ha E.

WASHINGTON - California, where.many "senior citizens" live, is the scene of a new Goldwater- Rockefeller talking match over social security. Sharp words flew over the issue in the New Hamnpshire primary campaign and they are flying again in California. When Sen. Barry Goldwater (R- Ariz) suggested in New Hampshire that social security should be made voluntary - in place of the present compulsory taxation of workers and employers-New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller hit back quickly. Would Cause Bankruptcy He said Goldwater's idea would bankrupt the system and "take us right back to the poorhouse con- ception" of relief. Goldwater denied he wanted to end social security; he said his aim was to improve it. The night before the balloting, he wound up pro- claiming himself a card-carrying member, and firm supporter, of social security. What part the issue played in the results will, of course, never be known exactly. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, who wasn't there to talk about social security or any other issue, won a resound- ing victory. Anti-Medicare Goldwater said recently at a rally in Visalia that he wants to see the system strengthened, but that it cannot be "if we saddle it" with medical and mental health care. Rockefeller, speaking at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, described the sen- ator's views as "extremish." Goldwater's leanings toward a voluntary plan ante-date the New Hampshire primary. In radio-tele- vision interviews last spring, for example, he predicted an eventual "revolt" among working people against increasing taxation for social security. Superfluous Taxes If proposed health care for the aged is addedto" gradual increases in taxes already slated, he saiduit "means that by 1970 an individual could take the money that he and his employer spend on social se- curity and buy twice as good a policy to cover everything that social security proposes to cover." Last January Rockefeller said, "Sen. Goldwater's notions would wreck the social security system. He doesn't seem to understand that a ,contributory social insur- ance system, based on shared fi- nancing between employer and employe simply will not work on a voluntary basis. Disaster "Un d e r voluntary coverage, those who felt they did not need the protection would stay out of the system. This would mean less income for the system, an immed- iate deficit in receipts as compared with the benefits now being paid to retired persons, and the ulti- mate bankruptcy of the system . it would be a national dis- aster." In mid-February Goldwater told a campaign audience, "Social se- curity is a contract between you and the government. I don't be- lieve in breaking contracts." He spoke of the retirement dol- lar decreasing in value, and called for fiscal policies that would guar- antee the soundness of that dollar. He said he does not advocate do- ing anything to the social security system "until we make a study of it and find out what should be done." Newman Center I ATTENTIONI UNION AIR-FLIGHT mwmmmw .
