Shore fire control parties, the

Comdr. William Clayton Butler, jr.,

Comdr. Butler was chief gunnery

Possible Neutrality Change
BY Turkey Is Seen

ANKARA, Nov. 5 CP).-The posi-
bllity was conceded here today that
the four-poWer Moscow agreement
may change Turkeys neutral posi-
ton in the war, and Turks awaited

Foreign Minister human Menemen-
cloglu's trip to Cairo to confer with
British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden.
The apparent establishment of a
close understanding between the
British, Americans and the Russians
on postwar world shunted aside
major stumbling block for Turkish
collaboration, for the Turks have
been apprehensive that a misunder-
standing between Russia and the
Atlantic Allies might some day leave
isolated Russia.
Turkeys changed position might
have any one of the following re-
suits:
l. Eventual participation in the
was as a full-fled2ed ally.
2. Measures short of war such as
granting of Turkish airbaSes from
which the Allies could bomb Ger
man territory.
3. Continued neutrality, with the
Turks giving the Allies only such aid
as could be managed without bring
ing the nation into the combat
zone

Turkish Concessions
To Allies Expected
To Be Asked at Cairo
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 5.-The approach
Ing Cairo conference between the
British and Turkish foreign min
listers took shape in some British
opinion today as possible backdrop
for an effort to obtain important
Turkish concessions to the Allied
cause, with the recent British
Portuguese Azores pact serving as
precedent.
AS basis for negotiation, Turkish
Foreign Minister human Menemen-
cioglu and British Foreign Secre-
tary Anthony Eden, both of whom
already have arrived at the Egyptian
capital could use the treaty for
mutual aid against aggression now
in force between Turkey and Britain.
May Ask Air Bases.
The feeling has been expressed in
London that MI Eden, as a ajor
point, may ask Menemencioglu for
Allied air bases in Turkey. The
question of use of the Dardanelles
by Allied naval units also might be
raised.
simultaneously, however-and this
appears to be strong reason for the
conference.-the Eden is expected to
reaSSue Turkey as to RuSsia's aims
in the Balkans
Turkey long has given signs of ap-
prehenSion about Soviet influence
ana operations in the Black Sea
area and in the Balkans.
II is natural, too, that the Turkish
government should want to know in
a general way about projected Allied
moves against the Balkan States so
far as these could be safely divulged.
In return, Mr. Eden may want to
learn the degree of Turkish CO.
operation, if any, in case OF an Allied
invasion in that theater.
Military Moves Hinted
The Moscow pact's reference to
measures to be taken to shorten the
war against Germany was construed
by some as including military moves
in this sphere. Ankara dispatches
say some Turks are not convinced
the agreement took genuine meas
ure5 to guarantee the security of
small nations.

today, quoted Secretary of State Hull
