...week just before curfew. Men and women, waiting until British military patrols rounded the corner, furtively scooped up the leaflets, eagerly read the truce offer of Colonel Grivas, leader of the Greek Cypriot EOKA. Next day the British government -still seething at the recent murder of Lieut. Colonel Fredrick Collier as he watered his flowers at his bungalow near Limassol-was officially silent. But the nameless leader of the Turkish Cypriot underground movement, T.M.T., also agreed to call off all attacks "until further notice." Cyprus, which has seen 127 killed in gangland-type slayings in less than two months, breathed...

A pilot who flew over the ranch area said he saw dead and dying cattle "in every direction...
Died. Louis Ruppel, 54, flamboyant, crusading reporter, columnist and editor, who began at 20 as a newshound (for the New York American), worked up through the rowdy Chicago press and became Collier's staff-eating, "off-with-their-heads" editor (1949-52); of a cerebral hemorrhage; in New York City. As managing editor of the Chicago Times (1935-38), Ruppel doubled its circulation by such tricks as having one of his reporters committed to a state mental hospital to get a series of Page One stories, disguising his photographers as clergymen, using siren-screeching ambulances to deliver World Series...
