"Their unbecoming public con-
duct, high consumption of alco-
holic liquors in numerous taverns

character of the religious pro-

the type of records they buy, and
their failure to rally to worth

Patrol cars, with two-way radio

usually accompanied by gendarmes,

Bile is the impact OF Western

Traffic is an acute problem.
You'll find more new American
automobiles in Istanbul than most
comparable American cities. Mar
row twisting streets already blocked
by long outmoded trolley cars can't
stand the strain. Police are get

Criminals Are Children.
Part of the answer lies in elimi-
nation Of trolleys, and hundreds OF
fast motor buses are being i'm
ported. Another portion of the
answer lies in diverting traffic into
one-way channels, and that already
is well under way. Enlarged streets
would hep, but right now, at least,
that is out of the question because
of the tremendous cost.
Crime in Istanbul usually springs
from the thousands of young

the water fronts. A newspaper esti-
