Dapper President Kamal Atatürk, "Father of the Turks," definitely learned last week that a life of ease on a sumptuous superyacht awaited him whenever he felt inclined to leave his pink-tinted villa on the hill above Ankara, and take to Turkish waters. Before the star & crescent could be raised over President-Dictator Kamal Atatürk's gift from his people, however, a diplomatic snarl between the U. S., Germany and Turkey had to be untangled...
Westernization. The King of Kings combines his knowledge of time-honored Iranian political methods with a passion for reform and an incorrigible interest in blue prints.

Dictator KamĊl Atatürk is not of the stuff to stand for war boats of the Great Powers receiving special facilities in Turkish ports, especially at a moment when Turkey is dropped from their Council. In Ankara last week reports were that General Inönü had backed up Dr. Aras and been cracked down upon for his pains. The British and French were quietly informed that the Turkish Government "interprets" the Nyon agreement as not affording any special Turkish facilities in the pirate patrol...
