Executed; Delay
For Sick Menderes

ISTANBUL, Sept. 16 (AP).-
Turkeys former Foreign Min
lister Fatin Zorlu and ex-Fi-
nance Minister Hassan Polat-
kan were hanged today.
A government communique
said they were the first top
officials sent to the galloWs for
violation of the constitution

the government.
The executions were believed
to be in Imrali, a prison island
in the Sea of Marmara.

The communique said former
Premier Adnan Menderes, who
had been sentenced to hang,
was too i'll to stand execution
and that he will be hanged at
a later date.
The national unity commit
tee, which rules Turkey. last
night upheld death sentences
for Menderes, Zorlu and Polat-
kan.
They were among Is former
officials of the old Menderes
regime which a revolutionary
court sentenced to death.
The committee commuted IL
of these sentences to life i'm
prisonment. Among tn ose
spared was 77-year-old ex-
President Celal Bayar, who had
raised his voice against the

ing pills. Menderes frequently
received such medication dur
ing his trial, according to in

formed yesterday.

foreign minister during the 10
year Menderes regime. He was

deres was not certain. He was
in near coma following an
apparent suicide attempt. He

Senate Begins
BeIated Battle
On FiIibusters
Some Pin Blame
On Kennedy for
Postponing Fight
By j. A. O'LEARY
Star Staff Writer

The Senate battle over a new
antifilibuster rule began today
with a verbal partisan clash
over whether President Ken
nedy will be partly to blame if
a new rule cannot be adopted
in these closing days of the
session.
Senate Democratic Leader
Mansfield said the RESPONSE
bility for passing other i'm
portant legislation before start
ing the rules fight rests with
him and he was surprised that
a group of 10 Republicans tried
yesterday to make the PreSi-
dent share the responsibility.
Senator Mansfield said the
Senate rules are entirely a
problem for the Senate, "and
if any blame attaches to the
decisions that have been made
it should be placed on me-"
Javits Points Up Issue
The 10 Republicans and an
other group of 81 Democrats
have Joined in deploring post
ponement of the rules fight
until now, contending that the
closing days of a session con-
stitute the worst time to con-
slider the question. But the
Democratic liberals did not join
the Republicans in putting any
of the blame on the President.
Senator JavitS, Republican of
New York, took sharp issue,
however, with Senator Mans
field and insisted that the
Democratic leadership in Con-
gress cannot isolate itself from
the White House in making
policy decisions.
Senator Mansfield defended
his action in not permitting the |
Senate to become tied up in
rules fight in January by sug-
gesting this Congress might not
have passed more insurance
for the unemployed, Federal
help for depressed areas, a new
social security law and similar
measures if the rules fight had
come first.
Erwin Suggests Rule
IF you want credit for what T.
has been done you have got to
take the responsibility for mis-
takes, and this is one of them"
replied Senator JavitS.
Senator Erwin, Democrat of
North Carolina, joined in to
suggest a new rule of his own. |
Most of the Southerners are
against any new limitation of
debate, and Senator Erwin SAID
he shares that view. But he
said he has suggested to some
of his colleagues who favor a
tighter restriction that they
consider limiting each Senator
to 80 hours of talk in each
yearly session of the Senate.
after which a Senator could
speak only by u0animous con-
sent.
The liberal protests against
considering their rules change
at this time bore out the gen.
eral belief that the effort will
fail and be sidetracked early
next week.
Twenty-one Senators, includ-
ing Senator Mansfield and Re-
publican Leader DirkSen have
signed a petition to invoke the
present cloture rule by which
tWo-thirdS of those present
could cut off debate and get
prompt decision on the new
rule to permit three-fifths to
break fllibuster in the future.
May Be Sidetracked
If, as most Senators believe,
the petition fails to produce
two-thirds when the showdown
comes Tuesday, the rules fight
will be sidetracked until next
year.
Another obstacle to adjourn
