I glance that the power of

the janissaries has returned to Turkey. Certainly the last straw which led to the overthrow of the Menderes

regime was the purging of

the officer corps and the

attempt to install political

elements favourable to the Government.

But the events that led up to the army coup stemmed from a fervent desire for democracy which has been gradually inculcated into the nation since World War I.

The denial of self-expression and freedom of speech by the Press was obviously seen by the new generation as an attempt to deprive the people of their rights.

HONOURS COME

UNDER FIRE

London, June 5. The whispered battle over Royal honours broke into the open today. The nationally-circulated Sunday Express said it's time for a change in the "dreary piece of hypocrisy" that are the honours awarded during Queen Elizabeth's birthday.
