Until last week the political heirs of Turkey's late great Kemal Ataturk-Republicans and Democrats alike-have maintained a tacit agreement to stick by their leader's founding dictum: in modern Turkey "state and religion must be separate." Then dapper, driving Premier Adnan Menderes, trying to whip up popular support to offset rising big-city discontent with his extravagant inflationary policies (TIME, Oct. 24), took off on a speech-making swing through his Anatolian farm-country strongholds.

Looking around for a nominal leader who would inspire respect, he found Mohammed Naguib, a pipe-smoking colonel of bluff honesty. Tacit support was given by the Moslem Brotherhood when Nasser promised the Mufti of Jerusalem that he would help out with the Arab defense of Palestine...
