Continue During Curfew In Cyprus
Nicosia, July 14.
Killings and arson continued unabated today despite the first all-island curfew ever clamped on Britain's eastern Mediterranean bastion, now dangerously near anarchy and civil war,
Only hours after the British-controlled radio broadenst news of the curfew which practically stopped all road transport, a Greek Cypriot was killed in the southern port of Limassol and a Turkish Cypriot was found dead in a field south of Nicosia.
These deaths, plus the discovery of two more bodies, brought the death toll in the last 24 hours to 1 in one of the bloodiest upisodes of tho "emergency" in which nearly 400 people have lost their lives.
Renewed Appeal
Against this threatening background the Governor, Sir Hugh Foot, renewed his appeni for calm in an evening broadcast In which he warned that violence had brought the island to the brink of a general conflict between the Greek and Turkish communities.
"There will be no hesitation in dealing with anyone who is mad or evil enough to plunge Cyprus lato civil war."
He said he ordered the curfew because "this 48 hours is the turning point.",
"We con abandon violence and go forward and find a peaceful settlement.

"The alternative," he warned, "ls a conflet which will cost countless lives and ruin everyone and settle nothing."
