ANKARA, Turkey, Aug. 4
(AP).-Turkey's ruling military
junta announced a major purge
of the armed forces last night,
putting 235 generals and ad-
mirals on the retirement list.
Among those weeded out were
five full generals of the Army,
four full generals of the Air

The shakeup left only 20

The junta, which overthrew

The junta also approved a
