Turk Says U. 5. Arms Aid
Might Not Be Adequate
BY the Assoeioisd Press

Turkish Chief of Staff Salih
Omurtak said the $10o,oo0,o00 in
military aid sent to Turkey by the
United States might not be enough
"if the strength Of the opponents
we may have against us Is con-
sidered."
The Turkish general told q news
conference his country Is grateful
for the American aid, "but we
would be much happier with $780,
100000 for example"
He said the aid Is necessary be-
cause I'VE must face the fact that
the Second World War has not
removed the dark clouds from our
horizon"
One probable result of the Amer
ican aid, Gen. Omurtak said, will be
the eventual reduction OF Turkeys
armed forces. That may become
practical, he said, when the Turk
ish army's fire power Is increased
by the addition of modern weapons
bought with the American money.
The general said the Turkish
army has been prepared ITO ward
off aggression" for several years
and Is still prepared. Whether we
have the $10O,000,000 or not does
not affect our decision on whether
to defend our country" he said.
Gen Omurtak and 18 members Of
his staff will visit the Naval Acad-
envy at Annapolis today.

The high court last year ruled in
favor Of Wilson in a suit which re-
suited in q judgment for $4,000 to
the use Of the employers, Fred H.

The suit was separate from that
originally brought by Wilson and
had been removed from Prince

to Howard County.

Citizens UnifGetsPIea
From Police Official
For Civilian Support

Sergt. John r. Ryan, public rela-
tions officer Of the Police Depart
|ment, last night called on civilians
to help rather, than hamper the
work of the police force.
Sergt. Ryan told the Rhode Island
Avenue Citizens Association he was
there to tell the people what is
right and wrong in the Police De-
partment so that LOO men will not
be blamed for the actions OF one
or two"
He urged citizens to report "any
cases of abuse of authority by police
men" to precinct chiefs and mot to
civilians who are not connected with
the Police Department"
But he also took time to criticize
civilians who get themselves excused
from serving on juries, who dodge
appearing as witnesses in court and
who invite crime by leaving the keys
In their cars and carrying large
sums OF money In their handbags.
Stop Signs to Be Asked.
Nowadays. he said, people tend to
depend. too much on policemen. In
stead, he explained, it is their duty
to assist the police by watching out
for their own lives and property and
for those of their neighbors.
Earlier in the meeting the men,
bers voted to send q letter to the
Police Department requesting tina,
stop signs be put where Perry and
Twenty-second streets NE. and
