Mystery Death Of Courier
Istanbul, June 13, A huge military funeral with unusual ceremony Was held in Istanbul today for the Turkish diplomatic courier who, according to the Russians, kliled himself last Monday while on his
way
back to Turkey from Moscow.
The Kremlin advised Ankare that the courier, Captain Fuad Guazalton. oged 30, mortally wounded himself with a revolver in a train near Sochi on the Black Sea coast. He was reported to be carrying papers from the Turkish Military Attacho in Moscow.
There has been no offlelat com-1 ment here on the courier's death but the high honours paid to Captan Gunzaltan today reflect the feeling throughout the coun- try that he did not die by his own hand.
When Captain Guazaltan's body arrived at Ankara, it was met by the Turkish Foreign Minister, Necmeddin Sadak, the Defence Minister, Husnu Chakir, and the Army Chief of Staff, Nafiz Gur- man, as well as by members of the Grand National Assembly.--- Associated Press.
