...newspaper editor reported one day last summer that while Premier Adnan Menderes was off on a trip, some political scalawagging was going on inside the ruling Democratic Party. "While the cat's away," wrote the editor, "the mice will play." The editor was arrested, and only by appeal to a higher court escaped a jail sentence of six months. His crime: imputing animal characteristics to the Premier...
What has gone wrong, and what can be done about it? These questions, raised for months past, concern more than tough, debonair Adnan Menderes, his government and his 23 million countrymen. All the other allies of NATO have cause to worry about the health of the member that anchors NATO's Eastern wing, provides the allies' largest single bloc of soldiers (the entire Turkish army of 500,000 men), and stands stoutly across the Black Sea from Russia.

Turkey, drifting dangerously close to the reefs of bankruptcy, has been beaming a steady distress call to Washington. The Turkish appeal: a $300 million loan, without strings.

...Ankara, police dispersed with tear gas a mob marching on the Greek embassy. In Izmir (the ancient Smyrna), Turkey's third largest city and NATO's southeastern headquarters, homes of Greek NATO officers were pillaged, and the Greek consulate was razed. Turkey's Prime Minister Adnan Menderes declared martial law in the three cities. The army moved in with tanks, imposed a curfew and, by dawn, had locked up more than 2,000 rioters. Throughout Turkey more than 4,000 stores and 78 churches lay gutted...
