Final speaker of the evening < G. 0. P. Presses Drive To Line Up Eqqheads By the Associated Press i The Republican Party is out to capture a larger chunk of the egghead vote. The man inn charge of a G. O. P. drive to line up more J intellectuals is Dr. Cornelius P. Cotter, 35-year-old assistant to Republican National Chairman Thurston B. Morton. Dr. Cotter, an associate pro- < lessor of political science on leave from Stanford University, I said yesterday one of several new party activities is aimed!: at interesting more college:! facilities in Republican prin ciples and enlisting their help : In campaigning for the egghead vote. “This is a broad party en-|i deavor and will find expression not only in the national com mittee, but in groups in Con gress. and on State and dis trict levels,” Dr. Cotter said. 1 Dr. Cotter said there is a popular impression that college i professors tend to be radical. and to vote overwhelmingly Democratic But taken as a : whole, he said, there is no!: more conservative group in the ! i country. 11 The reason for the popular : SCOUTS Continued From First Page Mr. Phillips acknowledged the important contribution made by the Scouts and added he was glad that the matter had been resolved in away "clearly in the best interests of the en tire community.” The issue came to head De cember 30 after six months of discussion when the Scouts no tified the Health and Welfare Council they planned to include Scout alumni and proven sup porters of Scouting in then ap peal. Mr. Phillips declared that such action would “violate” the •’implied” UGF guarantee that benefitting agencies will not go separately to the public for contributions. He said that if the campaign as outlined by the Scouts was carried on “it would seem that they will make Impossible their continuance as a member of the UGF family.” Not Withdrawing Mr. Lee. president of the Health and Welfare Council, had indicated to the Scouts TODAY'S WEATHER REPORT District and vicinity Clear and colder tonight; low near 28.

The order in which six of the seven presidential possibilities was chosen was determined by spinning a large cardboard wheel on which their names were listed. Adlai E. Stevenson, the party’s presidential candidate in 1952 and 1956. has declined an invitation to attend the dinner because he does not want to be taken for a candi date. 1 feeling that most professors are Democrats, he said, stems from a preponderance of rig istered Democrats among teachers in the social sciences. He said they are more vocal on public issues and more po litically active. He said professors in such subjects as engineering, medi cine and business administra ! tion are more likely to be Re- I publican. Dr. Cotter organized the Northern California Committee for Arts and Sciences for Ei senhower in 1956. He said the national committee became in terested in this as showing that “we were not a bunch of ' tired old fogies but were greatly interested in these Intellects.” “The time is ripe.” he said, “to let them know what the Republican Party stands for. Our long-term goal is this: America is moving into an age of intellect. It is vitally im portant to a political party that the American people fully ! realize that the Republican Party is a serious intellectual enterprise and is thinking about the major problems fac ing our society. ‘in a letter earlier that their' action could also mean some: loss of money from the UGF ■ drive just completed as well as : exclusion from future UGF ■ drives. Mr. Gore stressed at that time that the Scouts were not with drawing from the United Givers Fund or the Health and Wel fare Council. However, he noted, the Scouts were a growing organization, while they had received ap-: proximately the same amount —s26B,ooo—from the UGF for the last three years, and could expect this sum again from the 1959 campaign. The Scouts estimated they needed an additional $165,000, to meet their operating ex penses this year and pay back $40,000 borrowed for 1959. The Scouts raised about $70,000 last February in a sup plemental membership enroll ment like the one approved by UGF and HWC this year. They will now conduct the same kind of appeal this year.

The conference of British, Greek and Turkish foreign ministers and leaders of the Greek and Turkish speaking Cypriot communities, began discussing arrangements for the island-colony’s assumption of Independence on February 19. The meeting was preceded by an important compromise on the issue of Cyprus’ future ties with the British common wealth. Archbishop Makarios, the Greek Cypriot leader who will become the island’s first pres : Ident, and British leaders agreed informally to shelve action on the question of mem bership 6 to 12 months. Commonwealth Advantages | This will allow London to: confer with other members of the globe girdling family of na-1 tions on the Cypriot wish for: full, unlimited membership. In' the meantime the 500,000! Cypriots will enjoy all the ad vantages of commonwealth status. The black-bearded Makarios,' went into the five-party session I resolved to block Britain’s de mands for about 120 square miles of Cypriot territory as base areas for a nuclear bomber force and a strategic reserve i of ground troops. As the colorful prelate en tered the Foreign Office a man wearing a white death’s head mask began shouting: “Empire loyalists protest...” ■ Police hustled him away be fore he could complete the dem onstration on behalf of his movement of empire-firsters. Vital Resources Involved Under a 1959 agreement Britain was allowed to retain two military bases as soverlgn areas in Cyprus. The territory would take In one or two Cy priot villages and would be run Just like a tiny colony. Archbishop Markarios ob jects because the land covers some of the island's most fertile areas. Two-thlrds of the Island’s fresh-water wells also He In the areas. Archbishop Makarios also ■ fears the base areas could be developed in time into a sort :of "little Hong Kong" In the Mediterranean that might be come a commercial rival to the rest of the 3,572-square-mile ■island. Archbishop Makarios has countered the British demand with an offer of baseland cov ering 36 square miles—about three times as big as Britain's present military base area. In Athens, Gen. George Grivas, former leader of the EOKA underground in Cyprus that fought British rule, ex pressed anxiety over the Brit ish demands for bases. “Only such bases shoould be given to the British as are now held by them and on which there are installations and buildings. Facilities for com munications between these bases should also be given to the British,” Gen. Grivas told a news conference.

Mr. Castro made 10 minis terial changes in his first year in power. Scores of lesser lights in the government have been demoted or jettisoned or have dropped out voluntarily. Differences over “revolution ary spirit,” as Mr. Castro caUs it, led to part of the changes. Some of the more conservative officials felt too much radical ism was coming into the pic ture. Most of the shifts in port folios came the promul gation last May 17 of Mr. Cas tro’s controversial agarian re form law. Two Key Absentees Two key absentees after this date were high-ranking officials with nonministerial rank, im portant enough to be named by Mr. Castro to the official party that accompanied him last April on a swing through the United States, Canada and Latin America. Felipe Pazos, a financier of hemisphere re nown, was eased out as presi dent of the National Bank of Cuba and named ambassador at large in Europe. Pedro Luis Diaz Lanz defected from his Job as chief of the Air Force, claiming Communist influence |in the government. He is now in exile in Florida. Mr. Castro’s original cabinet had its first shakeup slightly over a month after it was named. Prime Minister Jose Miro Cardona resigned, report edly over differences with Pres ident Manuel Urrutia. Presi dential palace sources said Mr. Cardona opposed Mr. Urrutia’s firm anti-Communist stand on grounds no political entity should be prosecuted In the “New Cuba.” Mr. Cardona quit and became Ambassador to Spain. Mr. Castro took over as Prime Minister. Matos Gets Term In July Mr. Castro, a bur geoning one-man government, forced Mr. Urrutia’s resigna tion by a scathing personal denunciation. Mr. Castro ac cused the president of “near treason” for not expediting ap proval of new government de crees. Osvaldo Dorticos, then minister or revolutionary laws— a portfolio since discontinued, became president. Mr. Urrutia fled to his hdme, where he re main heavily guarded by Mr. Castro’s soldiers at his own request, according to the gov ernment. Mr. Urrutia is free Authorities Probe Florida Epidemic LARGO, Fla.. Jan. 16 (AP). —Health authorities searched today for the cause of an epi demic, tentatively diagnosed as intestinal virus, which swept through Largo Junior High School. More than 400 pupils were out yesterday with the disease which causes vomiting and a slight fever. The school has 1.300 pupils.

He said he could not go along with Communist influence in the government. Mr. Castro accused him of trea son. Maj. Matos got a 20-year prison sentence. Mr. Urrutia, Maj. Diaz Lanz and- Maj. Matos stand out as central figures In three major crises in the official govern ment family. Some observers consider the removal of Mr. Pazos equally significant. They see in his replacement, Maj.

TRAFFIC IS UNNERVING A psychologist with the Bureau of Public Roads confirms what you’ve sus pected all along: Driving in Washington IS hectic. If fact, driving in the Nation’s Capital produces something akin to goose pimples. Richard M. Michaels, the Bureau of Public Roads psychologist, told the Na tional Highway Research Board, at a closing session of its 39th annual meeting yesterday, how he used an electrical device to record galvanic skin responses to tension-raising driving ex periences. Mr. Michaels said tests along Wisconsin avenue showed something happens every 29 seconds to tense up a driver. These situa tions, he said, ranged from stopping for a traffic light to having another car swerve in front of the test driver. Those drivers bound for Chevy Chase and Bethesda, who avoid the Wisconsin avenue route and use the Massachusetts avenue- Reno road - Forty - first street and Western avenue route, have fewer tense moments. The test drivers, he said, averaged only one every 44 seconds. f more than 100 million pesos in recovered goods and money. He remains in the government, unassigned as yet.
