1STANBUL, Turkey by MalD -
There is good deal of criticism ol
the present Turkish regime among
some of the younger elements in the
principal cities, such as Istanbul anc
Izmir. They describe the govern
ment as dictatorial and bent on per-
petuating itself in power,
The slow-moving East frequently
gets on the nerves Of Westerners
who live there too long. Small dis
comforts become magnified into
great hardships. An English friend
expressed indignation about the
backward Turks" because he hao
broken his monocle and could not
buy a new one in Turkey.
The young people with college OF
university degrees are impatient
with the present regime because it
has been too SLOW in introducing
free elections In the American sense
of the word. Consequently, the bud
ding opposition party, which hopes
to take over the reins of govern
ment, is not growing as rapidly as
they think it should.
1t is true that Turkey, judged by
American standards, does not have
democratic form of government
Although the opposition party has
gained number of seats in the
National Assembly, there is no ques-
ton that many elections have been
rugged by methods not unlike those
used by American political machines

lie only in 1924, when the revolution

Trailer Truck Device
Demonstrated for ice

A device designed to increase the
safety Of tractor trailer combina-
tions was demonstrated today by
John N. Apgar to members OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission
In front Of the ICC building on
Constitution avenue.
The invention Is modification OF
the fifth wheel by which the trail
er is attached to the tractor. Con-
ventional attachments permit the
trailer to sway laterally when the
truck Is "jacknifed" in parking and
when making turns at high speed.
The new plate prevents this lateral
sway and eliminates the possibility
Of load shift with the resulting
danger Of overturning.
Mr.. Apgar, a partner in Apgar
Bros. truck fleet operators of Bound
Brook. N. j., invented the new plate
two years ago. 1t has been sue

with President Truman the organi-

The Hilldring statement described
the association as having the
avowed purpose to help this country
attain the objective for which World
War II was fought"
Mr.. Hilldring said he felt none Of
the objectives had been wholly OBJ
tanned and that IF the country
exerts the leadership expected from,
