Terrorist

Leader Of

Campaign Says Lennox-Boyd

PROVEN BY CAPTURED DIARIES

London, Aug. 26.

Britain announced tonight that the captured diaries of the anti-British underground chief in Cyprus show he took his orders from Archbishop Makarios, the embattled island's religious leader.

The Colonial Secretary, Mr Alan Lennox-Boyd, personally exhibited the documents. He said they were in the hand- writing of Greek Colonel George Grivas, legendary leader of the EOKA

underground.

"These documents prove beyond any doubt whatever that the Arch- bishop was the leader of the terrorist campaign in which 145 people have been murdered, 93 of them his fellow Cypriots," Mr Lennox-Boyd told u hurriedly-summoned news conference.
