IX , ( r -.m- -4 British Paratroops Are Sent To Cyprus Strengthen British Middle East Forces LONDON (INS) — Royal air force planes began today the airlift of 1,200 ace British paratroops to Cyprus to bolster British defenses in the dangerous Middle East. The first coastal command transport took off from Blackbushe airport; Hampshire, at 8 a.m. Simultaneously, planes of the transport command began flying; the soldiers’ equipment from the RAF base at Lyneham, Wiltshire. If the operation goes off as scheduled, all of the "Red Devils,” and their equipment will be in Cyprus by Friday night. Forty-four RAF planes are to participate in the operation. As if to deny the urgency of the situation in both Cyprus and the nearby Middle East, the paratroops commander, Brigadier M. A. Butler said his men were happy to be going because it would give them "something to do.”i “In Cyprus," Butler added, “we are going to be ready for anything.” The paratroops were underway less than 48 hours after the government announced they were to go. The war office said the soldiers were to operate under the British commander-in-chief in the Middle East, Gen. Sir Charles Keightley. The airlift brought an angry blast from the official Soviet Communist party newspaper Pravda, which claimed that "direct British armed intervention in the internal affairs of Jordan" was threatened by Britain’s "dispatch of additional forces to Cyprus in order- to transfer them to Jordan to help the Arab Legion keep order.” Britain’s deteriorating relations with the Atab states were subject again of talks prime-min-ister Anthony Eden held with several advisert, including foreign secretary Selwyn Lloyd, defense minister Sir Walter Monckton and colonial secretary Alan LennoxBoyd. /' No hint of the policy being evolved at these marathon conferences was dropped by government spokesmen. The war office refused comment on a report that, la~cbnsequence of Arab agitation in Jordan, Britain would delay evacuation of the remaining troops in the Suez Canal zone. Asked about the same report, a foreign office t spokesman said Britain "will carry ’ out her commitments." Under the Anglo-Egyptian agreement, the last of the British soldiers must be withdrawn from Suez by June 19. Kokomo Man Dies Os Accident Injuries KOKOMO, Ind.
