Turkey's foreign minister said Friday that reactivating U.S bases was still out of the question despite the easing of the American arms embargo In Washington State Department officials declined public comment but specialists of the eastern area said privately that tion of the ban deserved a more answer Ihsan said con- gressional approval of a million arms shipment to Turkey was only the beginning for eliminating the shadow which was fallen on American relations Deputy Premier Turhan said the U.S initiative was a step in the positive direction but it does not altogether eliminate the previous un- just decision President Ford in Washington led the move an essential first step in the process of rebuilding a ship of trust and friendship with ued friends and allies in the eastern Mediterranean But Greek opposition leader George Mavros said in Athens that the Greek government should put all American and NATO bases under national con- trol and charged that the U.S decision only worsens relations strengthens the well-known Turkish intransigence and therefore makes it even more to bring about a Cyprus solution without which there is no guarantee of peace in the eastern Mediterranean Informed sources in Ankara said any change in the present status of U.S bases in Turkey would have to be taken up in talks between the two countries on a new joint defense agreement They said such tions probably would not take place until after Turkish senate elections Oct 12 The easing of the embargo was pled with an amendment requesting the U.S president to consult with key on keeping opium out of illicit drug markets and to report back to Congress within 60 days But Bulent Ecevit Turkey's ful opposition leader said this means that the States in ing weapons to Turkey will not only be able to control where and how these arms are being used but will also have control over what is in Turkey how and where Now we expect the prime minister to an- officially and publicly that Turkey cannot accept a decision tied to such conditions The embargo was imposed in the wake of Turkey's invasion last mer of Cyprus long a battleground of Turkish and Greek Cypriots In the Cypriot capital of

substantial effect in Indiana Negley said even if the veto was it is unlikely Congress would leave the country without any form of school lunch subsidy The veto would mean a loss of funds for Indiana Negley said We haven't yet figured how much it means to our direct school lunch program but we don't think very he said Under the direct lunch program the Department of Agriculture burses schools in part for the lunches served elementary and secondary pupils Negley said those lunches rently cost the students an average of about 55 cents each We don't know what the tactics are going to said referring to possible failure of Congress to over- ride the veto But the normal situation is to con- by resolution at the previous level That is Congress would pass a resolution to continue funding the school lunch program at current tes until a new appropriation could be drafted and passed Currently the reimbursement for a Type A lunch where the child is not judged for any need is 12.4 cents
