450,000 to 160,000, and the
Turks have twice as many

But the Greeks would have
the advantage of superior
forces on Cyprus, where
Athens can count on the
11,000-man national guard and
its 650 Greek officers who
overthrew President Makar-
ios, plus a 1,000-man Greek
army detachment. Turkey has
only a matching 1,000-man
force.
Meanwhile the new govern-
ment of Cyprus rushed a
representative to United Na-
tions headquarters in New
York today to take part in the
Security Council debate on
Cyprus.
The council, however, went
ahead with plans to hear de-
posed President Makarios.
Council President J a v i e r
Perez de Cuellar of Peru said
Makarios would speak as
"president of Cyprus."
Perez said that the new gov-
e r n m e n t 's representative
might be heard under a coun-
cil rule allowing the appear-
ance of persons "with compe-
tent information" about the
debate subject.
Makarios wants the council
to condemn the coup and de-
mand that the Greek ruling
junta in Athens withdraw its
650 officers, which led the na-
tional guard in Monday's
coup.
The Greeks, in the mean-
time, tried to take some of the
urgency out of the U.N. de-
bate by pledging to replace
the officers with a new group
of Greeks in a few days.

Retail food prices declined
by 0.1 per cent during June,
the second decrease in the
past three months, the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics re-
ported today.
Houston's retail food price
index in June stood at 161.4,
meaning an amount of food
that cost $10 in 1967 would
have cost $16.14 last month.
The biggest decrease was in
prices of meat, poultry and
fish, which were 5 per cent
below the May level. The de-
cline left prices of meat, poul-
try and fish 2.7 per cent lower
than they were a year ago.
Dairy product prices de-
clined by 0.2 per cent in June,
but were almost 30 per cent
higher than their levels a year
ago.
Average prices on other
types of food products showed
increases. They were cereals
and bakery products, up 0.6
per; fruits and vegetables,
4.5 per cent, and other foods,
1.9 per cent.
Prices for restaurant meals
and snacks rose 1.3 per cent
