The uGWopapcxS HktQ ttho ANAAS published fully today the Turkish German agreement signed ct An- kara last night. There was no edi- torial comment.
 As regards this agreement, Fur key and Russia have c non-aggres- sion pact which was concluded in 1885 and they have pursued close political and economic cooperation most of the time. Itwas the ten- dency here to hold that the Ger. man-Turkish pact was not inconsist- ent with the Russo Turkish pact or with the Russo German friendship pact.
 If there is 6 war of nerves be- tween Germany and Russia 1t does not seem to have been very suc- cessful so far as all outward signs are concerned. There is no indica- ton anywhere of nervousness or ab- normal preoccupation with any inn portant matter.
 The ordinary citizen carries on his routine. Newspapers and the radio give no hint of crisis. Pravda, organ of the Communist Party, de- voted Its editorial today to annual vacations of workers.
 The whole reference to Bessarabia, whose return to Rumania, according to rumors abroad, has been de- manded, was a newspaper story last night. It gave a report of re- construction at Kishinev, where the government is building an opera house and network of elementary and secondary schools.
 Other newspapers hail the har- vesting season in the Ukraine and the northern Caucasus. They say a good crop is forshadowed. The warm sunny weather of the last week apparently has enabled collective farms in northern regions to catch up with their spring sowing, which had Jagged considerably due to the late spring.
