INVASION FEARS
ANXIETY IN CYPRUS
SOME PEOPLE EVACUATE
(Reed. June 3, 2.30 p.m.) , NICOSIA, June 2
The situation in Cyprus is tense. Elderly people and children have gone to the hills, and some English women and children have gone to the mainland.
Defence regulations announce penalties for looting or for spreading alarmist reports, and also give the authorities wide powers of commandeering. The Cyprus Post, discussing the German chances against Cyprus, points out that the enemy will be further from the Greek bases, but an invasion is possible from the Dodecanese and Syria.
