corruption Of the Turkish
word for soldier, ASKER
He is made for the defense of
Turkeys mountains. He is
stubborn, tough and heoric.
The training is anything
but creampuff. The Oscar
will work up to Is hours a
day for a six-day week. He
sees an occasional movie and
then goes out afterward for
night training. If he gets out
of line his officer or noncom
will kick or slap him. And
his pay is about Is cents a
month. All this he endures
without complaint.
The Turkish officers offer
a,more complicated problem.
They can be divided roughly
into two groups: The young,
junior officers who have
been trained in Korea, Amer
lea or Germany and who
have absorbed modern fight
ing and organizational tech
niques; and the senior on
GERS, many of whom think in
pre-World War II terms, have
old-fashioned ideas about the
prerogatives of high position.

Turkeys Soldiers Are Tough
BY RICHARD FRYKLUND
European Correspondent Of The Star

u n
European Correspondent Of The Star
ANKARA, Turkey-The
Turkish army is doing two
important jobs for America
and the West:
. It is holding the eastern
flank Of NATO against the
Russians.
. 1t is preparing to check
a possible threat from a
Communist army to the
south in Syria.
How good is the Turkish
army? Can it do the Job
assigned to it by Turkeys
allies in NATO and the
Baghdad pact?
These are the answers
given by Turkish brass in the
capital, by the officers and
men actually manning the
border defenses opposite
Russia and Syria and by
American training officers in
the field who are helping to
whip the Turkish army into
modern shape:
The Turks could chew an
invading army so badly that
the Communists will be ex-
tremely reluctant to try.
Therefore the Turkish army
is a good deterrent against
aggression in the Middle
East.
The Turks if invaded could
hold the line well enough to
permit American atomic
strength to be brought into
play. But they have a long
way to go before they will
be a modern army, 1857
style.
Tendency to Overrote
People tend to overrate
the Turkish army. This is
partly because the Turkish
brigade in Korea received
misleading publicity tending.
to picture it as made up Of
10000 supermen. In Korea,
however, the Turks had the
benefit Of American commu-
nications, logistics, artillery
support and maintenance
all complex operations which.
a modern army must have
down pat. Now the Turks
are on their own in these
operations.
1t should be pointed out
also that the Turks do not
have on-the-spot American
atomic support groups as do
NATO countries in Central
Europe, so it is rather mean
ingless to compare Turkish
strength with. say, German.
On the other hand, the
Turks do have an army of
about 100000 extremely
tough and willing soldiers
who are receiving the latest
nonatomic equipment and
excellent instruction in its
use. They are eager, fast
learners-but with a great
deal still to learn.

since France is expected to
repeat her argument that the
Algerian crisis is an internal
French affair, there is little
prospect of effective U. N.
action.
But If the U. N. does not
act, the Afro-Asian spokes-
men warn, the Soviet Union
would reap a free propaganda
harvest in the Middle East.
In this view, Arabs in Algeria
and elsewhere would be more
susceptible to Radio Moscow's
beguiling offers of aid and
friendship. The Vests pres
tige thus would suffer an
other serious setback in this

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y
Both sides in the Algerian
dispute are hastily rallying
their forces in readiness for
the battle in the U. N. First
Committee expected to open
this week.
The French are reported
seeking assurances from their
Western allies, and other un-
committed countries, of back.
ing in the debate. The Arabs,
spearheading the Asian-Afri-
can bloc which placed the
Algerian question on the
General Assembly's agenda,
are actively campaigning for
the support Of other mem
bers. especially the Latin
Americans. Four representa-
tives Of the Algerian Front Of
National Liberation have al
ready arrived in New York
and two others are on their
way to attend the session.
In preparation for the de-
bate each side is taking GER
tain steps to strengthen its
position. In Paris, the French
government is ssing
against time to have its Al
gerian reform bill passed in
the National Assembly.
If it succeeds in having it
adopted, the French would be
more likely to convince some
U. N. delegations that they
have a positive alternative to
the Algerian nationalist de-
mands and might thus avoid
any substantive decision dur
ing this years session. On
the other hand, if she fails,
then France would have to
face the United Nations
without a program and her
position would be much
weaker.
France may have succeeded
in gaining American and
British support by her latest
maneuver over the delivery
of Western arms to Tunisia.
Informed observers here sus-
pect that Frances Juror over
the United States and Brit
ish delivery of less than 1000
rifles and machine guns to
Tunisia recently was nothing
but a skilful diplomatic move.
BY a loud clamor of injury
and affront, Paris sought to
insure a placatory DISPOSE
ton on the part of Britain
and the United States to
back her on Algeria.
In Algeria, French author
tiles are now insisting that
the revolution is under con-
troll and that the war will
soon be ended,
Arobs Dispute Stund
On the other hand, the
Arabs in Algeria and else
where contend that the cur
rent strife in Algeria, now in
its fourth year, is essentially
a manifestation of the con-
tinuing struggle between
colonialiSm and nationalism
and will continue until
colonialism surrenders.
The Arabs are stressing the
following points in support of
their argument: % chronic
instability of the French gov
eminent has been COM
pounded by the Algerian
crisis; Cd economic strains
and crises in France itself,
