Turkey is about to make a new
try at democracy.
With the Yassi Ada trials out
of the way, attention now turns
to politics once again. The 21-day
political campaign begins this
week, with elections to follow on
October Is. The new deputies will
meet on october 90 turkeys re-
public day. to form the new gov
ernment, and the 15-month-old
army rule will end.
The transfer of power to an
elected government has long been
the goal of the man who led the
revolution, Gen. Genial Gursel.
This mild-mannered, democratic
minded soldier has been Turkey s
strong man since the successful
army coup of May 27, 1860.
1t is unlikely that Gen. Gursel
will now fade away from the
political scene, even if he wants
to. His moderating influence (per-
haps as PreSident) may be needed
more than ever in the months to
come.
List Of the Parties
There are many political parties
IN Turkey today but only those
with regional organizations in at
least Is provinces (out Of 81
will be able to participate in the
elections. This limits the field to
five:
l. The Republican Peoples Party,
the oldest and the most i'm
portant.
2. The National Republican
Peasants Party, the other party
predating the revolution.
3. The New Turkey Party formed
earlier this year.
4. The Justice Party, also formed
since the revolution.
S. The Nationalist Free Party,
representing the labor.
The Republican Peoples Party
is led by 77-year-old Ismet Inonu,
the principal opposition figure of
the last 10 years. Inonu-a hero
of the Turkish War of Inde-
pendence-was unseated from the
presidency in 1850 by the Demo-
crat Party of Adnan Menderes.
His party will be chal-
lenged in the elections by the
New Turkey Party of Ekrem
Alican, a 44-year-old graduate of
the London School of Economics.
Alican served as Minister of FL
nance in Gen. Gursel's cabinet
until last December when he was
bitten by the political bug.
A New Philosophy
The New Turkey Party does not
offer a new departure in po-
liticsl philosophy. Its program
differs only in degrees from that
Of the Republican Peoples Party.
Both advocate state ownership
and initiative in economic de-
velopment.
But the parties clash in per-
sonalities.
The principal supporters of the
New Turkey Party are former
Democrats - those who did not
take part in the elections of 1857.
Alican, an ex-Democrat himself,
toyed for some time with the idea
Of naming his party Social or Free
Democrat, but was not allowed to
do so. He believes that the mil

rise, the number of mouths, who
will consume it, is increasing at a
faster rate.
Many millions in Asia go about
half-naked, clad only in rags.
Asia is the home of some of the
largest textile mills in the world
and raises a considerable portion
of the worlds cotton, yet the per
capita use of cloth is very low. 1t
ranges from 16 yards in India to
so yards in Japan. Even for tropi-
cal Asia, this must be considered
inadequate.
Millions lll-Housed
The housing situation is not
better. Barring mansions and
palaces, which house about a mil
lion or two, middle class housing,
without the many amenities, takes
care of the needs of only a minor
ity of Asia's population. Between
65 and 80 per cent live in rural
areas where the dwellings are
sub-standard-primitive mud huts
amounting to novels.
More than half of Asia's popu-
lation lives in unlettered dark
ness. The illiteracy rates range
from rs per cent in India to 40
per cent in Japan. The adult
illiterates apart. the governments
find it impossible to provide edu-
cational resources to catch up with
the birth rate. They are simply
unable to provide trained teachers
and text books, school buildings
and equipment.

NEW DELHI.-This years CEN
sus in many Asian countries re-
veal an alarming situation. Viewed
in the long way, the population
growth has been like a long, thin
powder fuse that burns slowly and
haltingly until it finally reaches
the charge and explodes.
OF the worlds three billion peo-
pie, Asia claims over one half. To-
day they are multiplying faster
than Europeans. At the current
rate of increase, Asia would claim
nearly go per cent of the worlds
population by 1000 A. D.
This increase in population is
mainly due to mans increasing
control over disease and death.
The death rate in many Asian
countries has begun to decline,
thanks to the work of the World
Health Organization, Unite d
States technical aid, Colombia
Plan assistance and the efforts of
various national governments. This
has provided modicum of modern
sanitation and environmental hy-
giene, health, education, wonder
drugs and basic health services.
For instance, in Ceylon the death
rate has been cut by 40 per cent
and in India by 33 per cent.
fnfcnt Mortality Rote
The infant mortality rate, which
Is considered a sensitive index of
a community's level of living and
Evening star., 1961-09-24

In a nutshell, a vast majority
of Asians live below the poverty
line. The entire vicious circle
starts with incredibly low incomes.
the per capita annual income of
the Asian ranges between $50 and
$l20, depending upon the country
he lives in. Millions of Asians
earn in day little more than
what packet of cigarettes costs
in the USA.
Birth Control Problem
Many Westerners contend that
crowded Asian countries should
practice birth control and solve
their population problems within
their national geographical con-
fines. But the conservative and
traditional Asia has, surprisingly
enough, taken a more advanced
stand on the question of family
planning than most Western and
relatively progressive countries.
Japan has reversed her pro-
natalist policy and officially pro-
NOTED family planning. She has
thus halved her birth rate in a
decade. primarily through legal
lied abortion.
Beginning from scratch, India
has opened over 1000 birth control
clinics. Prizes are given to those
who undergo sterilization opera
tions. Similar efforts by voluntary
agencies are being made, with Of
ficial approval, in Ceylon, Malaga,
Singapore, Hong Kong and Indo-
nesia.

future" Mayor Ramsburg told

The Mayor added that "all

Daniel Wight. chairman of

that while the city of Frederick

FREDERICK, Md, Dec. T.
Representative Matthias. Re-
publican of Maryland. said last
night he would be reluctant to
see a high dam built at River
Bend in the absence of abso-
lutte necessity"
Mr.. Matthias said in an inter-
view that while the water
needs of the Washington area
are compelling factors" con-
construction of a major dam at
River Bend would cause great
social and economic upheaval.
He said he is co-sponsor of
legislation to preserve the
Chesapeake g. Ohio Canal and
would be distressed to see il
damaged.
One of four alternative plans
being considered by the Army
Corps of Engineers for develop
ment of the Potomac River calls
for construction of a dam, at
River Bend that would flood
some 35 miles of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Canal.

WILL EASE MANASSAS JAM
Route 66 Section to Open Dec. Is

Virginia will open the first
section Of Route 66 December
l6. permitting motorists to
avoid traffic jams around the
Manassas Battlefield.
State Highway Commissioner
H. H. Hairs today reported
that Gov. Almond will preside
at ceremonies after which traf-
fic will be admitted to a nine
mile portion of the four-lane
highway between Centreville
and Gainesville.
He said that the same day
the Governor also is expected
to attend ceremonies opening
the first strip of the Capital
Beltway between Shirley high
way and Arlington boulevard.
the Governor will attend cere-
monies opening the first strip
of the Capital Beltway between

preside at the beltway cere-
mony.

battlefield where Routes 29-211
and 234 intersect, and where

After mid-month, motorists
travelling from Washington to-
ward Warrenton will be able
to escape it entirely by follow
ing Route 66.

highway between Centreville
and Route 1913 in Fairfax Coun-
ty should be ready next fall,
according to Mr.. Harris. A year
later. cars should be able to
use it all the way from the
beltway to Gainesville.
However, the part of Route
66 most important to nearby
Virgnians is that which will
extend from the beltway
through Arlington to the
planned Theodore Roosevelt
Bride.
But although the bridge ap-
proaches have been planned
and a general corridor along the
Washington and Old Dominion
railroad selected, the precise
route in Arlington still remains
to be chosen.
Fred Burroughs, the State
resident engineer in Fairfax,
reports that the most formida-
BILE obstacle now confronting
engineers is acquisition of the
railroad right of way.
He said that as a result of
legislation enacted by the Gen
eral Assembly. it cannot be
bought until the railroad re-
ceives official permission to
abandon its line in Arlington.

He told the approximately

that the district engineer has
made no final recommended

However, he said. "the time

The Frederick News reported
in a front-page story yester-
day that an elementary school
in this area has been closed
for three days because of a

Baby Killed
In Home Fire
At Mclean

A 19-month-old child was
burned fatally yesterday when
fire destroyed a two-story frame
house in Mclean, Va.
Fire officials identified the
child as Rennot E. Duffin, son
of Mrs. Nellie Duffin.
More than 13 others were also
in the house on Lewinsville
road, fire officials said. but all
escaped without injury.
Assistant Fire Marshal Alfred
Savia salad the county fire
board received a call about 2
pm. and was told: This is
Hollands house, Mclean. Come
quick" The caller then hung
up.
The call was quickly traced
by a telephone operator, and
five companies were sent to the
scene.
Mr.. Savia said the call was
made by one of the residents,
Clarence Holland. who at
tempted to rescue the child but
failed.
The fire started in a defec-
tive heater in a first-floor bed
room, Mr.. Savia said.
No one in the house detected
the fire until it had destroyed
the first-floor bedroom, Mr..
Savia said. Fire companies were
delayed eight minutes because
they had to trace the call, he
said.
