1STANBUL, Turkey, May 15.-
Turkish newspapers reported to-
day that President Ismet Inonu's
regime had been buried under q
sensational landslide of opposition
votes apparently stemming from
popular resentment against the
country's economic ills.
Mr.. Inonu's government main
tanned a tight silence over the
apparent unexpected political up

487 seats in the new Parliament.
AS vote counting progressed,
one high member of the Inonu
Peoples Party said it was plain
the Democrats were winning.
Another Peoples Party leader
estimated that the opposition
Democrats had won 343 seats by
midmorning.
Victory Had Been Expected.
Mr.. Inonu. who had been pres
ident since 1898. had been ex-
pected to lead his party to victory
by a narrow margin. But today
the Democrats claimed that ever
nine cabinet ministers had gone
down in defeat.
If his party actually has lost
Mr.. Inonu is out as President since
the Turkish system makes the
presidential term Identical with
the life of the Assembly.
Whatever the outcome, Tur-
keys foreign policy is expected tt

Mr.. Truman has been inclined to
gloss over the lack of support his

Capitol Hill, and it was only in
the last few days. as he made the
report to the people," that he
has suggested that the voters
should get behind their repre-

for action on the Fair Deal.
With no holds barred in his
only avowedly political speech of
the 50-odd he has made on the
Western tour, Mr.. Truman gets
the opportunity tonight to tell
Democrats everywhere that he
thinks 1t is up to the party to
back the platform pledges of the
1948 convention.
The speech is being broadcast
and televised.
AS President Truman ended his
first week on the road yesterday
he loosed another blast at the So
