EISENHOWER ON CYPRUS: Washington, 19 (From Kathimerini correspondent V.A. Spanopoulos) – According to an informed source, there is cause for optimism on the Cyprus issue. Not only is the atmosphere at the United Nations favorable, but the American government’s stance is more sympathetic following the visit here by Greek Prime Minister Constantine Karamanlis… According to another source, US President Dwight D. Eisenhower promised (Karamanlis) that he will help the Greek government effectively regarding the Cyprus issue within and outside the auspices of the UN, by exerting friendly pressure on Great Britain, within the framework of the international situation.
