British Ships Reported
Set 10 Join Missouri
lon Trip 10 Turkey
BY the Associated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Mar. Is.
Authoritative British quarters last
night said powerful units OF the
British Mediterranean Fleet were
ready to join the American battle
ship Missouri on her forthcoming
cruise to Turkey to return the body
Of the Turkish Ambassador Mehmet
Estegun, who died In the United
States,
The report. coming from sources
who refused to be identified for
publication, lent new emphasis to
the apparent determination Of Great
Britain and America to stress their
friendship for Turkey.
The British officials who supplied
the information are here in connec-
ton with the UNRRA convention
which opens today.
The State Department already has
announced that the Missouri, the
battle wagon aboard which Japan's
surrender was signed, would steam
into the Mediterranean with a single
destroyer, the U.S.. s. Power, as
escort.
However, the British sources said
the Missouri and the Power would
be joined by several units Of the
British Mediterranean Fleet, nrob-
ably including some aircraft car
riers.
This source added that it would be
uniting for the British to permit
the Missouri to proceed on her way
without the honor of similar Brit
ish escort and that it was highly
probable" that one of Britain's big
gest battleships would be included
in the fleet.
The State Department has en-
phasized that there was no mill
tary significance in sending one of
the country's biggest warships into
the Mediterranean at this moment.
The mission is one for which
precedent would dictate the use OF
. cruiser.
But the report took on diplo-
matte significance in the light OF
reports that Red Army troops were
moving across Iran toward the
Turkish border.
The Missouri Is scheduled to leave
New York next Thursday to carry
the body OF the Ambassador to Is
tanbul. Mr.. Ertegun died in WASH
ington In November, 1914.
