Stupendous Welcome Accorded lke By Turks

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Hun- dreds of thousands of Turks Sun- day gave President Eisenhower one o the. greatest welcomes of his career—‘‘stupendous,” by his own description.

He flew in from Rome for a 17- hour visit and plunged into talks on world problems with Presi- dent Celal Bayar and Premier Adnan Menderes.

All of Ankara’s 500,000 res- idents, and then some, seemed to have turned out to greet the first U.S. president to visit Turkey.

Tens of thousands came in from the countryside. Estimates of the crowd’s size ranged from an official 400,000 to an unofficial 700,000.

Troupes of native dancers jogged and skipped in greeting alongside the.car in which Eisen-

hower rode from the airport. }-

President Bayar sai beaming be- side him. Eisenhower, grinning delight- edly, rode with upraised arms throughout the downtown area. Crowds were jammed 20 and 30 deep in bright sunshine. ._Men, women and children ‘ waved thousands’ of réd Turkish

flags and the American Stars and Stripes.

One of Eisenhower's first acts in the city was to drive to the giant Ataturk mausoleum that dominates Ankara from a lofty hill. He placed a wreath on the tomb of Kemal Ataturk, founder of modern Turkey.

of efforts to find international friendship in freedom.

They talked in English in the Pope’s private library in an au- dience that lasted 27 minutes.

Pope John said he rejoiced that the United States, under Eisen- hower is ‘striving so actively . . . toward the lofty ideals of a loyal and effective concotd between nations.”’

“The Catholic church, whose constant yearning is the estab- lishment of true peace between peoples, cannot but greet with joy every sincere effort toward that end, and wish is the most consol- ing success,” he continued.

Then addressing the president personally, he said:

“We earnestly invoke the powerful assistance of God upon you, in your noble efforts as the untiring servant of your people and of the cause of peace in the world.”

Thanking the Pope, the pres- ident declared:

“I assure you I will take your words to my country and make ‘Vthem known there.” Cm

disregard” by the Soviet Union and Communist Hungary of UN resolutions on Hungary.

The new resolution — first, pre- posed by the United Statés-<ra icizes Russia and the Hungarian regime for ignoring previous as- sembly requests for the with- drawal of Soviet troops from Hun- gary, free elections and wider re- spect for basic rights.

The 14th assembly held an un- usual Saturday sitting to work on a pile-up of business. It post- poned adjournment of its 1959 sessions for one week. The Hun- garian debate will begin today.

The assembly, which opened Sept. 15, had been scheduled to finish sittings Saturday but it had become apparent during the last two weeks that work couldn't be completed on the date sugegsted by Secretary-General Da Ham- marenield.

ASK RED COOPERATION

The Hungarian resolution asks the 82-country assembly to call for Soviet and Hungarian co-op- eration with the special UN rep- resentative on Hungary, Sir Les- lie Munro of New Zealand. Munro would be kept at his task under its terms. x

Co-sponsors include Britain and other NATO members and coun- tries: from Latin America and Southeast Asia.

Munro is scheduled to present to today’s session-a report in which he speaks of “the im- minent possibility of further ex- ecutions” of anti-Communists.

The assembly already has adopted 12 decisions since Soviet troops moved into Hungary to suppress the bloody uprising of 1956. They call for withdrawal of those treops and restoration of in- dependence and civil rights.

Communist officials, at a party congress last week in Budapest attended by Soviet Premier Nik- ita Khrushchev, made clear there was no intention to remove the Russian troops.

NESBITT WILL SPEAK \

Wallace B. Nesbitt, vice-chair- man of the Canadian delegation, said he will speak on the Hun- garian question, probably late to- day.

The aassembly Saturday dealt with a 13-item agenda, including resolutions regarding aid to un- derdeveloped, countries, trust ter- ritories, budgetary matters and special agencies.

It approved $854,980 in supple mentary appropriations for 1959, running the budget to $61,657,100.\ Then it voted for an even bigger budget for 1960—$63,149,700.

Storm Cuts Phone Link On Sunday

PRINCE RUBERT, B.C. (CP)— A microwave telephone link was this city’s only connection with the outside world Sunday night after two days of torrential rains, gale-force winds and landSlides knocked out all other transporta- tion and communication links.

A slide at Phelan, 11 miles east of the northern British Columbia coastal eity of 10,000, Saturday took out all: long-distance ‘tele- phone lines, telegraph and tele- type wires. The microwave, com- pleted earlier this year, can carry five long distance telephone circuits.

The slide which hit a Canadian National Telegraphs camp, car- ried a supply truck, cars and equipment 100 feet inte the Skeena River. No injuries were reported.

Highways department officials said all roads east, west and south of the village of Terrace, 95 miles east of here, were closed because of more than 20 wash- outs in the area. Crews were not working to restore the reads be- cause of dangerous conditions.

ROAD LINK CUT

The main -highway link with Prince Rupert, 400 miles north- west of Vancouver, was cut Sat- urday by a slide-across the high- way and the Canadian National Railway line at Salvus, 50 miles east. Another slide derailed two CNR diesel units and 12 boxcars nine miles east of the city.

NUMBER DRIVE EMBARRASSES

___WASHINGTON (AP) — The district of Columbia govern- | Ment embarked on a cam-

paign to get property owners to put street numbers on their buildings but was em- barrassed Sunday to find it lacks one on its own front door.

Not. only {is the district building unmarked, but police headquarter and nine of the 15 police stations are with- out ayenbers.

Another well known build- ing is also without the proper number — 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W., the home of the president.

Is Recept

A ready reception awaits any future bond issues this province may wish to float in the United States, according to Hon. Mel- vin J. McQuaid, provincial treas- urer.

Mr. McQuaid, who has just re- turned from New York, said he was given this assurance person- ally during his stay.

The provincial treasurer stat-

ed the recent $4,000,000 issue met with ‘an excellent reception’ in that country and were readily sold to 12 separate subscribers in an area ranging from the New England states to Texas. The chief buyers of the issue were life insurance companies and Mr. MacQuaid’ met many of the residents and directors of the companies who were enthu- siastic about the investment.

DIVERSIFICATION

The provincial treasurer was particularly pleased with the di- versification of the sale of the bonds. He said it meant top qual- ity advertising for the Island among people many of whom had never heard of the province be- fore.

He also pointed out that if fu-

ture sales of bonds in the United States were found desirable the province had 12 nams of impor- tant potential customers. Mr. MacQuaid was invited to go to New York as a guest of the syndicate which arranged the sale of the bond issue. He was ac- companied’ by W.E.. Massey, de- puty provincial treasurer, who personally signed each one of the bonds. It took’ him two days to complete the task.

The bonds had previously been signed by His Honor Lieutenant Governor F. Walter Hyndman and the great seal of the pro- vince affixed. However, the bonds were not negotiable until Mr Mas- sey added his signature.

FUTURE SALES

En route home the Island's representatives stopped over in Montreal to discuss financial mat- ters with the management of the bond syndicate. Under chief re- view were the possibilities of fu- ture bond issues of the province. “And there will be future issues,” Mr. McQuaid said.

He particularly noted there was no indication of improvement in

Other. members of the his-|

tron; Mrs. Paige, Miss Bonita Binns and Miss Helen Marie Mac-

masks and respirators to bring the flames—under control. The fire burst through ‘the laundry room door into the iower corri- dor and the heat blistered the paint in the hall,.--

Councillor Dewar said “If| Maritime Electric wants to give | us back the airport, i'll agree to | sell the lines, but under no .oth- ' er conditions.”

The town will retain the rural lines closest to Summerside in- cluding the St. Eleanors-Sher- brooke - Travellers Rest area. | The revenue from the rural | lines, including the portion to | be retained, was $87,338.07 in| 1958.
