N. officials said today President Makarios has agreed to lift the economic blockade of Turkish Cyprl-ot communities on Cyprus some time this week. Makarios reportedly relented under heavy pressure from Galo Plaza, U. N. chief representative on Cyprus, and Lt.

Gen. K. S. Thlmayya, commander of the peace force. U.

N. officials have warned Makarios ever since he imposed the blockade early last month that cutting food supplies to the Turkish Cypriote might bring armed action from Turkey. Turkey announced last week It would break the blockade by using la naval-air convoy to ship food Kokkina, on the northwest coast. Makarios' regime declared this would be considered an invasion. The Turks dropped their convoy plan Monday, and Makarios then said Turkey could land relief supplies for Kokkina at the port of Famagusta.

4 Makarios told the D. N. peacekeeping command that the supplies, if landed in a routine fashion at Famagusta; wotld be given all privileges. The Turkish Embassy in Nicosia said Turkey would send a shipload of food to Famagusta If the U. N.

A suggested goal for giving is at least one hour's pay, but the amount is left to the Individual employe's Boerner emphasized. "Dollars For Citizenship," Boerner said, "is General Electric's response to a recommendation by the President's Commission on Campaign Costs that companies as a matter of good citizenship-engage in non-partisan political activities." -Tejomnulonas appointed explore rising campaign costs and the continuing difficulty both candidates and parties had in meeting these costs. After a study lasting 18 months, the commission reported was a great need to "significantly of political contributors "both to spread "the cost of campaigns and to diffuse more widely through the population the sense and reality of participation in the politics of democracy." It is through programs like "Dollars For Citizenship" that the commission "hopes the American people will come to regard political contributions with the same sense of obligation they display toward contributions to educational and charitable Institutions." The program has already drawn the enthusiastic endorsement of leaders of both political parties. Essentially, "Dollars For Citi zenship" Boerner explained, will be a matter of "seeking to acquaint employes with the need to support with dollars the candidate and party of their choice, and then giving them an opportunity to do so." The program here will be cotn-ducted through the mails. Contributions will be sent to the First National Bank where they will be opened, counted and credited to the indicated recipients.

The bank will then deliver the money, oi behalf of General Electric employes to te appropriate candidates and party officials.
