There appears to be. on the

that Turkey was massing troops
on the Syrian border for q

Mr.. Menderes said @subversive
actions in Syria have reached q

He added:
This country (Syria) Is
arming itself speedily and far
beyond logical defensive needs,
Or rather it perhaps is being
turned into an armament depot
eventually to be used by others,

friendship based on mutual
trust between our countries is

policy pursued in the Middle

aggressive aim toward any of
our neighbors."
Mr.. Menderes remarked that
Turkey had received 10 formal
complaint from Syria Itself.

The present xoning ordi-

On the other hand, the
party seeking the rezoning

the prcpitious time to act.
Unlike the citizens who would

petitioner Is free to select the

TO pursue his individual eco
nomic interest with q concen-
tration Of purpose. strategy
and action which Is denied
those who are concerned with
the interests Of the commu-

For these reasons, I sug-
gest that the Montgomery

consideration to changing its
