Troops Not Poised
For Border Attack,
Damascus Is Told

DAMASCUS. Sept. IA (R.--
Turkey has sent assurances its
army is not poised to attack
Syria. Foreign Minister Salah
Bitar said today.
Mr.. Bitar told newsmen Tur-
key had notified the Syrian
government troop movements
inside Turkey were routine
maneuvers carried out every
year at this time.
Syria hopes, Mr.. Bitar said,
the Turkish operations will
only be maneuvers and not be
followed by something else"
AS tension over Syria's left
ward moves seemed to be re-
taxing. the Soviet Government
announced yesterday a new
warning to Turkey that an as
sault on Syria would lead to
world war. This warning came
from Soviet Premier Nikolai
Bulganin in a letter charging
that Turkish troops we're
massed at the Syrian border
for an assault.
A government spokesman
said Syria received fresh re-
ports of Turkish troop concen-
trations at the border. but that
sit does not bother U.S."
Don't Expect Attack
I'VE don't expect attack" he
said. but added, I'VE have to
be ready in case Of any emer-
gency."
For the past few days only
army officers have been re-
called to duty. the spokesman
said. Its not even a partial
mobilization. We have been
calling up officers just to be
ready when everybody
concentrates on your borders
you try to prepare for defensive
measures. he added.
He said Syria is studying
but mot taking very seriously"
Egyptian reports that Amer
lean armored units have Sc
cretly arrived in Israel and are
massing there. Local news
papers reprinted a report this
week from Cairo that Ameri-
cans had arrived in Israel dis
guised in Israeli uniforms.
President Shukri Kuwatly,
meanwhile. was quoted by Da-
mascus Radio as saying Israel
represents the greatest threat
to Syria and other Arab ma
tions and is looking to usurp
more Arab lands"
The spokesman said he be-
lieved Mr.. Bitar would head a
Syrian delegation to the United
Nations. Although Mr.. Bitar

The President announced
here that the Governor had

HARRY DADDY-O' GIBSON
AMONG COUNTRY'S
TOP 0RGANIST"

Among the counrty'S foremost
jazz organist is Harry 'Daddy-O'
Gibson, who plays hot, sweet
and mellow.
This new Chess recording star
has two sides released and six
more ready for public airing in
the near future.
Currently riding high on his
recording of Behind The Sun"
coupled with the Gibson treat
ment on the ever popular Might
Train, Gibson is being groomed
for a national tour beginning in
the Fall.
Gibson is not an overnight
sensation. His laurels are well
earned. Born in Memphis, Tenn,
he completed high school and
enrolled at Fisk University,
Nashville, where he majored in
music.
Dreaming of playing concert
piano and pipe organ, Gibson
began his study of the inStru-
ments at an early age. After
two years of college, he was
forced to join a band due to
limited funds. He played in spots
in and around Chicago and De-
troit. While in the latter city,
he met Trummie Young former
trombonist for the great jim
mie Lunceford. who then head
ed his own outfit. The great
'sliphorn' artist hired him as a
pianist.
His burning ambition to fur
ther his study of the organ re-
suited in his resigning from the
band, taking a day job as a
warehouseman, going to school
at night and playing gigs on
weekends. In 1854, he purchaS-
ed his own organ.
