Their Pressure on Turks
BY the Assoeioied Press

ISTANBUL, Turkey, Aug 30.-The
Eastern European nations within the
Soviet sphere appeared today to be
exerting increasing pressure on Tur-
key.
Bulgaria delivered a note at An
kara protesting alleged hostile acts
by the Turkish press and radio. The
note recalled a recent Yugoslav pro-
test against Turkeys admission OF
emigre Yugoslav Moslems, and the
recent attacks on the Turks by the
Romanian press for receiving Ro-
manian political refugees.
Turkey replied to neighboring Bull
garia Immediately that any criticism
in the Turkish press simply was in
answer to equally hostile acts by
the Bulgarian press.
Ankara still has not replied to the
Yugoslav note. Observers believed
the answer would follow the line
taken by Foreign Minister Hasan
Saka recently when he told news
conference the Turks always would
protect Moslems and that Romanian
refugees could stay here or leave, as
they pleased.
