After reading your Aug. 24 account of the Turkish brutalities inflicted upon U.S. Army Sergeants Dale McCuistion and James D. King at Izmir, Turkey, I feel that we should make the Turkish government feel grateful for saving them from Communist occupation and domination through our military installations in Turkey.

The yield on most long-term Government bonds was more than 4% for the first time since the 1930s, and some yields rose as high as 4.8%. Corporate bond yields also rose; unable to sell their public-utility offerings...
