During ginll periods, or the time of actualltests, airliners over the desert wiß be required to heed instructions from French authorities.

Deputy Premier Jacques Soustelle. who runs the French atomic program paid a weekend (visit to the desert test center of Reggane, 1.000 miles southwest of Algiers. ■ When he, was asked whether his presence indicated that the time of the atomic test is near, Soustelle would say only that tne program and the calendar are being followed satisfactorily. j Find Woman's Body In Abandoned Trailer NEW ALBANY, Ind.

Report Deadlock On Cyprus Conference LONIXJN (UPll-BrUlah. Turkish and Greek Cypriot delegate* were deadlocked today over a Hrltuh drmaml for a ItJ-aquare-milc military baa«- on Cyprua aa the price for that laland’s independence <*l Feb 19 The conference, which began on Saturday, resumed again thia morning to try to work out detail* of the year-old agreement under which the former colony is to become an independent nation within the British Commonwealth. But Britain says it muat have a major 16.000-man military bate there to be able to cope with "bruah fire* war* in the Middle Eaat and because Cyprus is necessary for NATO. The main opposition comes from Archbishop Makarios. Cyprus’ president-elect He was willing to allow a much smaller base but said Britain was trying to set up a "little Hong Kong" in the Mediterranean and that any base should be limited to about 36 square miles. Complete deadlock might delay indeiwndence between now and the Feb. 19 target data and perhaps result ta new outbreaks of violence on the island which has already seen nearly four years of bloodhsed. One of the chief objections offered by Greek Cypriots was that the base area wanted by Britain contained some of the island s most important farm land and two of the island’s three underground water tables needed for agricultural development.

Invasion Plotters Plead Not Guilty HAVANA <UPH — The first 19 of 140 alleged invasion plotters to come before a military court here pleaded innocent over the weekend. The pleas of other defendants probably will be heard today. The pro - government "Second Front of Escambray,” former i armed supporters of Premier Fidel Castro’s revolution, demanded Sunday that nine of the defendants be sentenced to death. The nine are the alleged invaders who flew a plane to Trinidad. Cuba, last August and shot it out with government troops lying in wait for them there. Three soldiers were killed. Maj. William Morgan, a former American who was second in command of * the Escambray group, is expected to be the star witness for the prosecution at the trial. He was not present at the opening session of the trial, however, nor did he sign the statement demanding the death penalty. Castro and his brother Raul also are expected to testify at some point during the trial, but neither of them showed up at the opening session. On the present schedule, the trial is expected to last about two weeks with sessions opening at 5 p.m. each weekday and running far into the night.
