READ YOUR AUG. 4 PRESS STORY AND WOULD LIKE MAKE ONE CORRECTION: FIRST MEN IN BAGHDAD WERE TWO, STAN CARTER AND MYSELF.

But hard-driving Premier Menderes could boast that his militantly pro-Western foreign policy (which Inonu also favors) had at least 359 million concrete advantages. Meeting in Paris, the 17-member Organization for European Economic Cooperation agreed to extend Turkey $100 million in credit ($50 million of it from West Germany), thereby triggered promises of at least another $234 million from the U.S. and $25 million from the International Monetary Fund...
