Until last week the political heirs of Turkey's late great Kemal Ataturk-Republicans and Democrats alike-have maintained a tacit agreement to stick by their leader's founding dictum: in modern Turkey "state and religion must be separate." Then dapper, driving Premier Adnan Menderes, trying to whip up popular support to offset rising big-city discontent with his extravagant inflationary policies (TIME, Oct. 24), took off on a speech-making swing through his Anatolian farm-country strongholds. At Konya, in the wheat-growing heart of what Istanbul calls the Koran belt, he blurted out the most direct...
Iran's Premier Hussein Ala arrived patched with adhesive tape where the revolver, hurled by a frustrated assassin, had nicked his head a fortnight ago. With Macmillan came Britain's chief military man, General Sir Gerald Templer. Turkey's bland Premier Adnan Menderes arrived last, as befitted the nation with METO's biggest army.

...even the tough no of tough George Humphrey swayed Adnan Menderes. Having exhausted the advice of one invited guest and turned down the advice of its ally, the Turkish government called in yet another adviser to give it the benefit of his advice and his knowledge of the ways of U.S. Government. As the legal counsel to the Turkish government in the U.S. (TIME, Oct. 16), Manhattan Lawyer Thomas E. Dewey has already taken a look at Turkey's economic affairs and will soon be busy in the U.S. studying what can be done about them. Turkey seems...
Obviously, some very tough people have come to a very tough impasse. The Turks seem confident that they can outstare the U.S. The U.S. is staring back, in the belief that Adnan Menderes will be the first to blink and give ground...
