01Jul56 CBS Sun

Narrated by Walter Cronkite

Summary:
Walter Cronkite turns from the past to the present for 30 minutes of film covering
the current explosive situation on the Mediterranean island of Cypress.
There are 500,000 people living on the island. Four Cypriots in every five
are Christians who look to Greece as their motherland. The fifth Cypriot
is a Mohammedan whose leanings are toward Turkey. But though the majority
is violent in its demands for union with Greece, it is opposed not only by
the Turkish minority but also by the British. For Cypress is a British Crown
Colony, and London regards the island as of enormous strategic importance.
Howard K. Smith will be seen live, assisting Cronkit in the narration, and also in
some of the filmed interviews. Notables interviewed include Archbishop Makarios,
now exiled by the British to an obscure island in the Indian Ocean:

and Sir John Harding, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Cyprus.
There are also vivid scenes of rioting on Cyprus, including sound film of shooting
and bombing. Official views are supplemented by interviews with ordinary people
in Athens and Istanbul and with British tommies stationed on Cyprus. [RF]
