Turkey delivers ultimatum
By United Press International
By United Press International Turkey delivered an ultimatum to Greece today to accept Turkish terms for a settlement of the Cyprus crisis by 11 a.m. EST or face unspecified "necessary measures," informed sources reported in Ankara.
In Athens a Greek government spokesman mentioned the possibility of war.
Turkey backed up the ultimatum by sending eight Turkish warships, including six destroyers,
to within 15 miles of the Mediterranean island 40 miles off Turkey's south coast. Turkish jets flew over Cyprus and its population of 600,000 persons.
U. S. presidential peace envoy Cyrus Vance rushed to Athens today from Ankara and five hours of negotiations with Turkish officials. He held a series of emergency conferences with top Greek officials in what appeared to be the most crucial day of the crisis.

Lawrence votes on bonds
By Ted Bell Kansan Staff Reporter
Lawrence voters will decide the fate of the proposed $2.25 million bond issue today.
It should end one of the biggest drives to come out of city hall in a long time, and the city commissioners hope the drive will end with a happy approval by the citizens.
The bond issue calls for four construction projects:
David L. Kohlman, chairman of the KU aerospace engineering department and university chairman of the Lawrence Citizens for Progress is just as hopeful. He has been campaigning for the bond issue, urging all faculty members to vote in its favor.
- Two new fire stations in the Lawrence area.
mention the Ankara reports that Turkey had sent an ultimatum. Instead he said:
- A civic center to house and centralize the city service operations.
- A new airport.
"Clarification of the situation will come within the day, either through agreement or in a negative way. If there is no agreement, there could be very dramatic developments, not excluding war."
- A civic swimming pool.
Kohlman said the sale of bonds would start immediately if the
program is approved. Construction would begin as soon as bids could be secured.
Kohlman said of the issue: "It's important that the students and faculty understand the issues because of its indirect, if not direct influence on them."
He noted that the added fire stations have obvious benefits for everyone in town, and that a new civic center would mean added efficiency and cuts in the expense of city services.
"The airport would mean important transportation services for everybody, and a municipal swimming pool I'm sure would be quite welcome to everybody involved with the summer session."
Kohlman has circulated a letter to all faculty members who are Lawrence residents urging them to vote in favor of the bonds.
The projects are the result of recommendations of the Citizens Advisory Committee, which included Dean William Smith of the Engineering school, and Mrs. Francis Heller, wife of KU's acting Provost and Dean of faculty.
The spokesman did not amplify his statement, but informed Greek sources said his dramatic remark indicated Greece indeed had received an ultimatum although it was not willing to admit it immediately.

Unofficial informed sources at Ankara said a major issue was Greece's unwillingness to agree to Turkish demands.
March 21; and "Freedom from Want?" May 2.
The series was arranged with the cooperation of John P. Desseaeur, director of the University Press of Kansas.
All indications were in Athens that the Greeks would not or could not meet the deadline set by Turkey unless there was a last minute speedup.
