General Gursel briskly set to work to abolish all trace of the repressive measures Menderes had imposed. He freed 200 students and nine newsmen, licensed 14 banned newspapers to start publishing again. Ahmet Emin Yalman, dean of Turkish journalism, published his first art:'c':e since his release from prison last month: "The Turkish armed forces are marching forward with giant steps on the road opened by Ataturk." General Gursel fetched seven professors from Istanbul to help draft a provisional constitution. One was Istanbul University President Siddik Sami Onar, who was badly beaten by Menderes' police when...

But there was precious little cheering among what remains of Turkey's free press-for the government happened to be celebrating the occasion by clapping 72-year-old Ahmed Emin Yalman, dean of Turkish newsmen (TIME, Jan. 18), into jail for violating the oppressive national press laws.

Advertisers must place their ads with the agency, and Minister of State Emin Kalafat allocates them to whatever publication he chooses. So far, the agency has not worked too well: some advertisers are insisting on having their ads placed in the publications of their own choice. But if Turkey's publishers had any doubts about the power of the government's new club, they had only to consider the case of 33-year-old Metin Toker. Last year Toker spent seven months in jail...
