To fuse and discipline army and mob was a task for no one less than another Kemal Ata-türk, whose strong rule made Turkey modern and democratic in one generation. No such towering figure has yet appeared in Egypt or Iran...
...Central Asiatic Spartakiad-a tournament, including soccer, among five Central Asiatic Soviet Socialist Republics -was in full swing. The Alma Ata soccer team (representing the Kazakh Republic) was playing the Ashkhabad eleven (representing Turkmenistan). Alma Ata was ahead in the game, but what counts in the Spartakiad is not the number of games won; it is the number of goals scored.

...leaders, the two chief parties and the platforms are the same as in 1946. Led by deaf, adroit President Inönü, the Republicans are campaigning on Turkey's progress in the 27 straight years they have held power since the late great Kemal Ataürk expelled the last Sultan. Led by sober, intense ex-Premier Bayar, an Atatürk protégé ousted by Inönü in the jockeying after Atatürk's death, the Democrats declare that it is high time for a change...
