HAMBDEN - Nine members
of Hambden Grange received
special recognition Monday night
at a booster night program.
These nine members have been
in the grange for twenty-five
years. Blanche Toussaint, a
charter member, was also hon
ored but her membership was
dropped for a few years so that
she could not be listed with the
twenty-five year members.
The 25 year members present
were: Peter Carlson, John Car
yer, Della Carver, Frederick
Carver, Glenn DeGroft, Harold
Phillips, Flora Phillips, and
Clyde Winchell.
Members who have been in
the grange 25 consecutive years
but who were not present Mon
day night are: Robert Chamber
lin, Cassie Chamberlin, Barton
Crellin, Floyd Phillips, George
Rayl, Stewart Harland, Monetta
Harland, Eudora Radcliffe and
Jennie Woodin.
Blue and Gold ribbon corSageS
were pinned on the honored
members. The blue and gold
theme was carried out in the de-
corationS of blue candles and
yellow daffodilS on the officers
stations.
A special program was arran-
ged by the lecturer, Ruth Whee'

THE NATIONAL SCENE

again, it was hardly pleasant
reading.
Frank Kierdorf, official of
TeamSter local in Flint, Mich,
died Thursday of burns he re-
ceived early Monday morning
when, he contended, he was turned
into a human torch by two thugs
who threw a fluid over him and
then set him aflre.
During the week, however, evil
dence accumulated that Kier-
dorf accidentally had set himself
af1re while trying to burn a dry
cleaning plant. And the attorney
general of Michigan said Kier-
dorf admitted on his deathbed
that this was the case.
In Washington, Jimmy Hoffa,
strongman president of the Team
sters. spent much Of the week
again facing the stern counte-
nance Of the Senate Rackets Com
mittee. BY the end of the week,
there was a possibility that he
may also face perjury charges.
The investigators heard an ex-
prizeflghter, Embrel Davidson,
who was sponsored by Mr.. Hoffa,
testify that for eight months he
had drawn SIS a week from the
Transfers Union, but did no
union work. Committee Counsel
Robert F. Kennedy recalled Mr..
Hoffa's testimony of a year ago
when the union boss swore that
the fighter had received no union
funds.

adopted in Lebanon and Jordan.
The Soviet Union, however. was
prompt with a new warning to
Turkey against military moves. a
warning that was viewed as in the
main a shrewd exploitation Of the
situation for propaganda effect.
Now that Turkey is to get her
loan, prospects look brighter for
an economic revival. But austerity
will continue to prevail; the
Turks won't be drinking that
thick, sweet coffee anytime soon.
But the drivers of Istanbul's
ancient taxicabs may at long last
be able to buy a battery, a few
tires and perhaps a few essential
parts for their rickety but faithful
vehicles. And farmers with trac-
tors and machinery may once
again be able to turn the oxen out
to pasture.
Turkish Ambassador Suat Hayri
Urguplu, describing his country's
situation at a recent meeting of
the New York Board Of Trade. de-
tailed the austerity prevailing in
the Turkish army and among the
peasantry. A Turkish soldier. for
example, is paid Is cents a month.
And a Turkish peasant family
earns between so cents and one
dollar for sunrise to sunset labor
in the fields.
Il can find no place for a new
hole in their belts to tighten them"
said the ambassador, most Of
them even have no belts. IT,. But
we are confident Of the future Of
our country.
I'VE have an old saying: "A
cup of coffee makes friends for
forty years. Let me assure you
that when happier days come
and we are confident that they
will come-we will never forget
American aid"

Pros

The Communist regime In fact controls the
mainland OF China with Its more than 500
million inhabitants. The United States is
merely INDUCING In fantasy when II recognizes
Chang Kai-shek's relatively small group on
Formosa as the real government Of China
Admission OF Red China TO the u. N. Is In
evitable. Il probably will be admitted over
our objection and this would result In a great
loss Of prestige for us and a consequent gain
for communism.
A split between Red China and the Soviet
Union would be promoted II Picking we're al
lowed TO air her differences IN the u. ~
forum. This would be bound 10 create situa-
tons where interests between the two nations
would conflict and this would be helpful TO
our cause.
Trade with the China mainland could be re-
sumed TO the mutual profit Of the United
States and Red China. Trade as an instru-
ment Of potentialitieS FOR peace has long been
a recognized part OF our International policy
and we have promoted open trading all over
the world as a way to better understanding.
Subjecting the world to tiny Nationalist
China's veto power in the Security Council OF
the United Nations distorts its intended re-
Election Of the world power balance. The ad-
mission Of another Communicated nation.
in Red China, would add another vote to the
Communist bloc and another spokesman to
the Communist side. and would also give the
Communists two vetoes in the Security Coun-
ell instead Of the one they now have. How
ever. from a realistic viewpoint the objections
to such a result are not serious. True. debate
would be further drawn out and more pro-
paganda would be heard. but that can be
faced. The addition Of one vote to the Com
munist group will not in itself be suficient
to affect the balance Of power between the
Communists and the West, either in the Gen.
eral Assembly or in the Council. in both Of
which the ultimate decision will depend on
the voices Of the so-called uncommitted ma
tons. Finally. two vetoes in the Security
Council would create no greater obstacle TO
effective action than the single veto which
the USSR now possesses.
The overseas Chinese (those living in other
countries) already know that there is no posi-
bility that the Nationalist government will re-
turn to power. and all those who would be
inclined to give their allegiance to the Com
munist regime already have done so.

Loan to Turkey Means Giving Her Chance
To Strengthen Position Of the West

Turks find their wages and SAL
aries increasingly inadequate to
purchase essentials of living. One
result, inevitably, has been a ten
dency particularly in the capital.

mand payment in foreign cur
rencies-a dangerous portent for

The governments stringent re-
strictions on imports saved some
$3.50 million in 1857, the govern
ment of Premier Adnan Menderes
has reported. But economists
have warned that further cuts are
impossible if the economic devel-
opment program and the military
are to be supported properly. and
the $3.50 million is far from
enough to redress the balance Of
trade at present.
In return for the loan. the
Turkish government assured the
lenders that 1t would institute
Immediately "a comprehensive

Perjury Action Threat

Chairman Mcclellan then di-
rected that copies of the testimony
Of the two be sent to the Justice
Department "for ascertaining who
has committed perjury"
Testimony by Mr.. Hoffa brought
out that, unlike anybody else, he
can win consistently on the horses.
In accounting for some $50, 900 he
had made between 1913 and 1856,
Mr.. Hoffa explained that the
money represented winnings at
the track. He had, however, kept
no records on this income. and
the man who made out his tax
returns had thrown the worksheet
away.
All this prompted one observer
at the hearings to suggest that
the Transfers were right back
where they started years ago
following horses.

Initiation Worry

But last week imitation was
more of a worry here than the
recession, which, after having
Travelled its toughest waters, was
more or less "old stuff"
The steel industry's increase
the previous week of $4.25 to $3.50
a ton in sheet and strip steel,
coming at a time when the cost
of living continues its dizzy up
ward pace. stirred not a little
concern in Congress.
Senator Kefauver and his Anti
Trust and Monopoly Subcommit-
tee mulled over the idea Of another
full-scale investigation into steel
prices, which have increased in
six years by $34.50 a ton to about
$751; q ton. The subcommittee
called two witnesses. one each
from the Justice Department and
the Federal Trade Commission,
and was told by the Justice De-
partment that the Antitrust Dr.
vision is giving "close scrutiny"
to the increases.
Senator Kefauver on Monday
made public a letter to President
Eisenhower in which he urged the
President to call a meeting Of
industry and labor officials to
formulate q wage progam to
arrest what appears to be de-
veloping into a permanent in
fiationary trend"
Mr.. Eisenhower'S answer came
on Wednesday at his press con-
ference. The President addressed
himself, for the most part, to
labor. He repeated his numerous
previous urgings that labor hold
down its wage demands, and
warned that both business and
labor had best proceed cautiously.
lest they provoke q widespread
consumers revolt"
It was shortly after he ex-
pressed these fears that the House
voted to increase the limit on
the national debt-a primary
source of inflation-to a perma-
nent ceiling Of $685. billion.

most precious single thing Turkey
had.
In trying to modernize Istanbul.
Prime Minister Menderes, the city
planner, ran into some very spe-
cial problems. The old Turks
were very haphazard about where
they put things. They we're likely
to erect mosques on all the best
sites. And what did it matter II
a mosque courtyard wall stuck out
into the street? Nor was it of any
concern If the base of a minaret
protruded into busy thorough
fare. AS for Turkish baths, now
considered architectural gems,
they were placed smack in the
center Of the busiest possible
square. Cemeteries also had a
place of honor in the busiest Sec
ton Of town.
Nothing Stops Him
To eliminate these highly OBJ
jectionable features a man OF
great authority was obviously
needed. And Prime Minister Men
deres not only knows what he
wants but will not let either lack
of money or interference by the
courts stop him. One word from
him and whole squares were low
cred. entire blocks of buildings
condemned and demolished.
From all over Turkey the bull
dozerS and the dynamiters have
been assembled. This summer.
citizens Of Istanbul are awakened
almost nightly to the sound Of
dynamitsrs blasting their way
through another blocked street.
1t Is estimated that a minimum
Of 10000 separate edifices, mostly
old unsightly huts, have been
destroyed so far.

II Is not inevitable that Red China be adj

There arc basic power rivalries between the
Soviet Union and Communist China but the
two countries Communist parties are bound
together by close theological ties. Their af-
nnities are stronger than their cleavages.
Trade is rigidly controlled by the Communist
Chinese TO develop their military forces and
to promote their political aims. The United
States has much that Red China wants but
there is little that Red China has that this
country wants.

The overthrow Of the pro-
Western monarchy in Iraq pro-
duced one substantial result for
infiation-plagued Turkey: a loan
Of 1859 million. which had been
long sought and as long refused.
The loan came from the United
States 1924 million). the Organi-
zation for European Economic Co
operation ($l00 million) and the
International Monetary Fund
($25 Million. The swift approval
Of the joint loan was a direct re-
suit Of the Middle East crisis and
the realization that Turkey, the
right flank of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organizations defenses.
must not be allowed to face eco
nomic collapse.
The Turkish need for money.
mainly to ease a costly and infia-
tionary acknowledgements stu
alton in. which Turkish exports
Jagged far behind imports. was
nothing new. But the United
States and international monetary
organizations have been pressing
Turkey to bring about major re-
forms in her fiscal system and to
build UP her production before
making large loans. Now the vital
Importance of Turkey to the West
has made such considerations Sec
ondaty.
To the NATO planners and to
United States military officials,
Turkey represents the strongest
pro-Western force in the Middle
East. With a well-trained and
reasonably well-equipped army Of
100000, and strategically located
in the path Of any Russian move
to the south or west, the Turks are
the best existing guarantee Of the
safety and usefulness Of the
United States air bases in Greece,
Cyprus and Libya as well as in
Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
But the Turkish economy, al
though possibly on the very TIRES
hold Of a rebirth through success
full industrialization and modern
ization programs. has been ap-
preaching a complete breakdown.
Drastic measures were taken a
few months ago to reduce ex-
pensive imports. The result has
been q chronic shortage in many
important commodities. even in
necessities. Fixed quotas. fixed
prices and severe government
regulations have acted to reduce
production and thus to initiate
prices in the real market as more
and more money is bid for dwindl-
ing supplies Of goods.
Foods Grow Scorcs
So severe has the imitation be-
come that the basic diet Of the
population has been affected. Pro-
TEN foods such as meat, eggs.
cheese and fish have skyrocketed
in price. and in many urban areas
are virtually unobtainable. Coffee.
a tradition in Turkey. is banned
outright as needless import; tea
and chocolate are missing.
Perhaps worst Of all, the con-
tinuing imitation and the result
ant tight curbS on imports de-
creed by the government have
put a crimp into the ambitious
development program which, when
completed. would do much to solve
Turkeys economic difficulties.
Power plants. factories, roads,
buildings, bridges and utilities
projects have been suspended for
lack Of steel. machinery and other
essentials.
The Turkish pound. quoted Of
flcially at five to the dollar, Is
actually selling at about IS to the
dollar on the black market. While
this state Of affairs is delightful

dollars at such o favorable rate,

Minorets Turned Into Modern Skyline
As Turkey Tears Apart Its Old Capital

from day to day out of his head.
The cost Of lifting Istanbul's
face has now mounted to what
must be several hundreds Of mill
lions Of Turkish pounds-with-
out contributing to an increase in
production. The result: Terrific
lines Of people waiting to buy any
thing their money can get.
For three decades Istanbul was
the neglected stepchild of the
Turkish Republic. All the avail
able money for building in Turkey
had been lavished on the new
capital Of Ankara, an uninspiring
but extensively constructed me-
tropolis on the barren Anatolia
plateau.
Mosques Go TO Pot
IStanbul. formerly ConStanti-
nople, was too identified with the
times Of the Sultans to rate much
consideration and as a result its
streets went unpaved. its build
ings were almost never painted
and even its glorious mosques
were allowed to go to pot. Every
once in q while, a minaret badly
in need Of repair would simply
topple over.
But despite all this neglect. Is
tanbul continued to attract new
inhabitants until the city today
has a population estimated at we'll
over 2 million. Gradually the
old Republican hatred Of Istanbul
was forgotten. and with it poll
ticians like Menderes began to
realize what should have been OBJ
vious all along: That Istanbul with
its wonderful port. its priceless
monuments, its excellent climate,
its good communications. was the

ISTANBUL. - The destruction
Of Istanbul has to be seen to be
believed. Most foreigners arriv-
ing here think the city must have
suffered a terrific, recent aerial
bombardment or a bad earth
quake. This ancient capital has
been literally torn apart, its
principal streets raised, lowered,
widened, or Strengthened, and
most Of its public buildings sliced
in two or demolished.
Actually, the changes have all
been the handiwork of Prime
Minister Adnan Menderes. The
energetic and restless head of the
Turkish government was cooling
of on the Bosporus three or four
years ago when he happened to
get interested in an old CITY,
Improvement scheme for the for
mer capital. In no time at all
bulldozers were put to work.
Thus began modestly what Is
tanbul citizens assumed would be
a minor revamping Of some of
the city's main arteries. 1t turned
out to be q complete overhauling.
Moreover. what everybody thought
might last a summer or so is
now in its third year and the end
is by no means in sight.
Too Much Destruction?
The extent Of the destruction
has begun to bring much criti-
cism on the Prime Minister'S head.
Nobody doubted that something
had to be done to make Istanbul
livable in this modern age but
now many Of his opponents say
he has been much too energetic,
