College Station, Texas Wednesday, October 13, 1971

Justice party, are resisting. That
party, Turkey’s largest, has with
drawn its five ministers from the
Prim Cabinet.
A conservative government led
by Demirel was ousted by the
armed forces March 12. A politi

to intervene again.

Agnew endorses reform
by Turkish government
ANKARA, Turkey (A 5 ) — Vice
President Spiro T. Agnew en
dorsed on Tuesday political and
land reform measures proposed
by the Turkish government over
conservative opposition. He said
they “merit our great support.”
The reform measures are an
issue in a political controversy
that threatens the government of
Premier Nihat Erim.
Agnew told Americans sta
tioned in Ankara that their ef
forts can help solidify progress
toward reform.
He spent more than an hour
conferring with President Cevdet
Sunday and later visited Turkey’s
parliament, the Grand National
Assembly.
At the U. S. Embassy, he told
about 200 Americans, many of
them servicemen, that “I believe
we’ve earned the right to say
we’ve lost that appellation of ‘the
ugly American’.”
He said Americans abroad are
increasingly “contributing to the
general purposes and attitudes of
the countries in which we serve.
And I believe that reflects great
credit upon you.”
Agnew said U. S. attitudes and
support for the cause of reform
in Turkey were first evidenced
in the Truman Doctrine of Amer
ican aid in 1947.
“Because we have these com
mon identities and common pur
poses, I believe that we can
solidify through our day to day
efforts the progress of the Tur
kish government toward greater
participation of its people, edu
cational reform, the land reform
that the current government is
engaged in . . .”
Frim’s government is com
mitted to reforms which con-

Suspected IRA members arrested in IN. Irelan
BELFAST (A>) — Fifteen sus
pected members of the outlawed
Irish Republican Army — IRA —
were arrested in police raids
across Northern Ireland on Tues
day.
It was the second big sweep
within a week. At least 250 men
already are known to be held
under the province’s controver
sial Special Powers Act, which
allows unlimited detention with
out trial.
As the arrests went on, British
troops in Belfast came under
sniper fire as they cordoned a
blazing paint factory. Four fire
men, injured by exploding paint
cans, were the only known cas
ualties.
The IRA’s bomb-and-bullet
campaign to unite the mainly
Protestant province with the
neighboring Catholic-dominated
republic has cost 118 lives in the
past two years.
Prime Minister Brian Faulkner
told Parliament the army will
blow up some border roads into
the republic to cut off infiltra
tion by gun-running guerrillas.
He disclosed also that security
along the border will be tightened
by “a wide variety” of measures,
but did not elaborate.
Home Affairs Ministe John
Taylor said that 8o per cent of
the 8,000 pounds of gelignite used
by terrorist bombers since Aug-
use, 1969, had been smuggled
across the frontier along with 65
to 80 per cent of the arms and
ammunition seized by troops.
This includes 17 machine guns,
468 rifles and pistols and 104,500
rounds of ammunition.
Security chiefs claim they can
limit the gelignite smuggling
across the 260-mile frontier oy
closing ofi some of the 200 bor
der roads.
The decision follows a dramatic
increase in terrorist bombings in
the last few weeks.
Political sources said the deci
sion to blast the roads, coupled
with intensified patrolling of
roads left open, resulted from last
week’s meeting between British
Prime Minister Edward Heath
and Faulkner.
Armed raiders held up four
post offices in Northern Ireland
on Tuesday within a half hour of
each other,
a total
$720.
