Makarios reported heading
to U. N. after Cypriot coup
ny The Asiotdiad Press
Archbishop Makarios, the d e p o s e d
president of Cyprus, arrived last night
on the island of Malta and was reported
ready to fly to the United Nations, where
the Security Council was meeting to dis-
cuss the overthrow of his regime.
Cypros' atmbassadotr to the United Na-
tions, Zenon trssides, said he wanted
the council to cZll tfr ttan itmediate
cease-fire and recogni e Makarios as the
legititmate, elecitd head of the govern
mecnt.
THE SECURITY Cointil meeting waa
colled by U.N. Sectetary-Geieral Kurt
Waldheit to d i s c t s s Monday's coutp,

More fighting was ieported yesterday
on Cypros. Militirv relets announced
the formation of a new grvermiiitent and
warned that ciriew rtvitators wtould he
shot without warning.
Waldheim told the Security Council
thit developmntts IO the islaid "carry
tie serious risk of threat to international
pe:ce and security."
TIlE COUP was the work of the 10,000
nian national guard, the army of Cyprts,
and its 650 officers from the Greek
Army. Makarios last week accused the
Greek officers-and the ruling military
junta in Athens-of a plot to assassinate
or overthrow him as a prelude to enosis,
or union with Greece.
The rebels have made no mention of
enosis in broadcasts, saying the new
regime w a u I d steer an independent
course.
Anything looking like a threat to the
Turkish minority on Cyprus could britg
a Greek-Turkish military clash. That
would leave the United States and its
partners to a difficult situttioti sitice

The Turkish navy was put on alert
and there were reports that at least
two Turkish lighting shiis sailed from

Moths descend on area

tar winged creatures have taken over

There's no need for alarm, however,
they're only moths. And they should
have all disappeared by next week.

Edwards, carrying his populous home

his first political venture.

entomology researcher at Michigan State
University, the moths, cotmionly known
as the Spruce budworm- nith, will be
nearly non-existent within the next week
or so.
"The moths," said Newman, "are na-
tive to Wisconsin and Canadian forested
areas. The species does not occur in
abundance in Southern Michigan."
He said that the moths came in Sun-
day with the storm front and were pick-
ed up through an up draft of wind that
carried them up to a mile in the sky.
They landed in southern Michigan but
wont be here for long.
THE MOTHS will not be a problem to
vegetables and similar vegetation; how
ever, nurseries may h a v e a problem
with eggs left by the invading moths,
he reported.
The environment in southern Michigan
is unsuited for the survival of the moths
as they feed off of spruce trees and
will soon die off, Newman added.
The Department of Agriculture said
they had many phone calls inquiring
about the moths but no serious problems
were reported.
William Joy, of the University Envir-
onmental Health Department, said that
he similarly had several calls; however,
the only problems he had were reported
in Northwoods apartments. There were
large, numbers of moths in the apart-
ments and in the general area, he said.
He attributed the problem in most cases~
to children who might have left doors
open and let the maths in.
Local merchants also reported prob
lems with the moths as the little crea-
tures clung to store fronts and windows.
Lorene Upchurch, a h o s t e s s at Win
Schuler's said the insects were all over
the outside walls and some had even
gotten into the restaurant.
But according to University Zoology
Prof. Irving Cantrall the moths are
harmless and do not carry disease.

THE SPRUCE BUDWORM moth perches happily on someone's thumb. The
tiny creatures have invaded the area, but won't be around long, says Michigan
State University entomologist John Newman. The winged hordes native to
Wisconsin and Canada caught a free ride with Sunday's thunderstorm.
