Reported Found

Philippine army intelligence
agents today were reported TO
have captured Hulk documents
showing rebel plans to disrupt
the November presidential elec-
tions.
The Philippine News Service
said the documents were seized
yesterday in a clash between
an army commando patrol and
a Hulk band in Cavite province

said the rebels were en- route
to a meeting called by the top
Hulk leader Jesus Lava to dis
cuss plans for sabotaging the
elections.
Army commando patrols,
meanwhile, pressed ahead with
Operation Gargoyle." a new
campaign against leaders OF

there is plenty of circum-

And 1t was not the FIRST

was fearful of attack by
Israel-had tried to get arms

Dulles disregarded the diplo-

project was cancelled against
the recommendations of the
United States Ambassador 10

the president of the Inter-

Yet there are many persons

is q concerted effort to assist

Unfortunately. the Supreme
Court - by ruling that the

the Fifth Amendment now
can be invoked to help conceal
treason - has thwarted the
efforts Of the Government to
obtain much data necessary

Maybe the testimony by

eyes Of the American people
to the barriers and obstacles

Soviet Worships Believed Displaying
Disregard for Turkey and Greece

ISTANBUL, Turkey (By Air
Mail) Several times a week
Soviet warships. navy tankers,
floating drydocks and heav-
lily loaded merchantmen go
through the Posporus on their
way to friendly ports in Egypt
and Albania. where naval
bases are being rapidly i'm
proved and strengthened.
For the first time in con-
temporary history, the USSR
is parading its nag before the
Turks and the Greeks to re-
mind them that she is now as
strong a naval power as their
Western allies. and especially
the United States.
Ordinarily ships pass slowly
through the narrows which
connect the Black Sea with
the Mediterranean because of
the many fishing boats, fer
ries and small merchantmen.
Not so the Soviet warships.
They sail through at is to 20
knots. regardless Of what may
happen to the small vessels
which may be in their way.
The Russians show not only
their naval power to the
Turks but also their complete
disregard Of them.
Despite the naval move
ments which. 1t is believed
here. are a demonstration and
a warning to the Western
powers that the Mediterra-
mean is no longer their lake,
neither American nor Turk
ish authorities believe that
the Muscovites intend to
force a showdown in this
area-unless an opportunity
due to diplomatic clumsiness
is offered them.
