ISTANBUL, Turkey-(By MaiD.-
The young republic of Turkey has
been suffering from growing pains
and there is q great deal of dissatis-
faction throughout the country be-
cause the present government has
been in power too long.
Only recently the government has
permitted the opposition Demo
cratic" party to be organized. Its
leaders have been drawn principally
from the ranks of the ruling party
Members have f1ocked to the new
standard in such numbers that the
government began to worry over the
possibility of being ousted eventu-
ally, and has been accused of at
tempting to prevent the rapid
growth of the opposition.
Outside the two legal parties there
are a number of unorganized intel
lectuals who are striving for a
democracy of the western type
without its faults. But they are
only handful OF men and have not
been able to organize for effective
political action. =

Assembly Acts Today:
0nLane Appointments
Before Session Ends
By tho Assoeiotsd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 3l.-The Mary
land General Assembly prepared
today to pass on Gov. Lanes green
bag" appointments, take final &C.
ton on an $11, $780, 900 capital i'm
provements bill naddition to q
batcn of local measures, and end
the 1947 session.
The rest of the administration
program already has been given
legislative approval, and there was
every indication the capital i'm
provements bill and the entire list
|of appointments would be approved
with little or no debate before the
midnight deadline for final adjourn
ment.
Most Of the administration mon
ey" bills were enacted last week
after log-jam over a measure for
a 2 per cent consumers sales tax
keystone of the governors fiscal
program-was broken. T..
Bill Finally Passes.
The bill passed both the House
and the Senate, after. having been
first rejected by both houses.
The $119,000,0 900 general funds BIZ
ennial budget bill was approved, as
well as the expenditure Of $10O, ,000,-
600 from special, funds during the
next two years.
The administrations ambitious
roads program, embodied in bills
calling for expenditure of $139, ,OOO,-
600 in road construction during the
next five years, was enacted without
substantial change. It gives au-
thority for building of "self-liqui-
dating" toll roads and bridges, in
cluding a $24,000,000 Chesapeake
Bay span, and increases the gaso-
line tax / cent.
The Legislature also passed an
act to raise the income tax rate,
effective in 1949, from the present
II to 21a per cent on individual
earned income and from 11k to a
|per cent on corporation income.
Other Accomplishments.
Other accomplishments of the 1947
General Assembly included passage
of legislation which:
Carries out most of the recon-
mendations contained in the Sher-
bow report for redistribution OF
State revenues and gives the various
subdivisions large sums of money
which up to now have gone into
the State treasury.
Increases teachers pay minimums
by $500 annually, and sets up new
school construction and mainte-
nance funds.
Gives the electorate an oppor-
tunity to vote at the next general
election on proposed constitutional
amendment to limit the Governors
tenure to two consecutive elected
terms.
Changes a long standing agree
ment between Maryland and Vir-
ginia and now allows Maryland au.
thorities to try in State courts Vir.

oyster law violations.
Ends the tenure Of Commissioner
Of Motor Vehicles w. Lee Elgin or
April 30, two years earlier than his
regular appointive term would have

Turks Domestic Quorrels Fade
Under Menuces From Abroad

satisfaction with the present regime
and the agitations which necessarily
exist due to long rule by an autoc-
racy the upper class in cooperation
with the Mohammedan priests now
are fading under the threats from
abroad.
The reason there has been so little
actual political strife in Turkey is to
be found in the fear of Russia, whose
desire to pull Turkey behind the iron
curtain quickly was understood, not
only by the government but by the
ignorant peasantry as well.
No one-even the most backward
peoples-likes to serve in the armed
forces, leaving home and field to be
cared for by women and old men
Yet at no time since the outbreak
of World War II has there been any
substantial opposition to drafting
into the defense forces all men be-
tween the ages of 10 and 80.
The Turks felt that they would
have to defend their country with
out outside help, except sympathy
Now when they believe that the
United States will not remain a pas
sive witness if Russia decides to
carry out its threats, there is an
even stronger decision to resist the
colossus of the East.
