Turkish General Staff
Breaks OFF Par|eys
With British Mission
BY WILLIAM B. KING,

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
ANKARA, Turkey, Feb. 10 De-
layed. - Sudden suspension OF
month-long secret talks between
the Turkish general staff and a
British military mission was dis
closed today.
While this will not necessarily
alter Turkeys policy toward the
Allies and the war, I am convinced
that the conferences begged down
purely on the question of the
amount of military supplies neces-
sary-to equip Turkey for full
fledged military activity.
1t undoubtedly was made clear
that chances of Turkey entering
the war would be reduced If the
quantities of military supplies she
desires are greatly lessened for any
reason.

lis Voice Of People

William C. Bullitt, former AM
bassador to Russia and France, de-
clared last night that If there is to
be peace after this war, ''the case
Of Poland must be decided not on
the basis of force but on the basis
of justice and fair play"
Poland cannot be wiped out of
the hearts of the Poles" he said.
Poland cannot be wiped out of

He praised Gen. Kosciuszko's serv-
ice to the American Army in the

sia, Prussia and Austria. The Po-
llsh hero, he said, became a symbol

last October aroused and justified
the hope that, in the interest of

might affect the peace of the world

clded by any one of the United Ma

said.
There will be no peace in the

Allies Warn Of Raids
On Papa| Residence,
Occupied by Nazis
By the Associated Press,


ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Al
giers, Feb. 12.-The Allied high COM
mand declared today that the Ger
man Army was installed on the
grounds of the Papal Palace at
Castel Gandolfo and that If it re-
manned there, Allied bombers would
not spare the property, even though
1t belongs to the Vatican.
Allied soldiers and airmen have
been under strict instructions to
avoid damaging church property,
particularly holdings of the Vatican,
which in addition to their religious
character are territory of neutral
state, as they enjoy extraterritorial
rights under the Rome Concordat.
Heavy Nazis Forces.
Today's statement, however,
charged that the Papal estate at
Castel Gandolfo contained "a heavy
saturation" of German forces and
that whenever vital enemy targets
appear they will of necessity be
bombed"
The headquarters statement ap-
parently was based on the conten-
ton that the Germans first violated
the estates neutrality by occupying
its extensive grounds, which are
only 10 miles from the perimeter of
the Anzio beachhead in an area
bristling with German military traf-
f1c and supply dumps.
Castel Gandolfo, a papal holding
since 1896, includes a village ard
extensive farmlands as we'll as the
papal palace and other buildings
beside Lake Albano. The village
normally has a population of about
1000.
Palace Is Summer Home.
The palace usually is used by the
Pope as summer home, and the
headquarters statement referred to
1t as his summer farm"
Allied headquarters has neither
confirmed nor denied the Vatican
radio statement that bombs fell on
the estate Thursday, causing dam
age and casualties. 1t has an
nounced, however, that Allied heavy
bombers attacked German military
objectives in that general area that
day.
The German Transocean agency
broadcast that 500 persons had been
killed in an Allied bombing of Castel
Gandolfo Thursday. The Vatican
radio said the propaganda college
was hit but indicated the Papal
Palace itself was not. It did not
identify the bombers. The German
radio Saturday said Pope Plus had
protested this new violation of
neutral territory" but the British
Foreign Office said it had received
no protest
