80 Jailed In Ouster Attempt
The Turkish military junta says it broke a plot by supporters of deposed Premier Adnan Menderes to topple President Cemal Gursel. About 80 arrests were reported in Istanbul Ankara and other provinces. The junta said the plotters sought help from a foreign ideology. A Damascus report said Turkey closed its frontier with the United Arab Republic following riots in southern Turkey over tax hikes and army pay. Menderes and regime officials are on trial on Yasliada Island near Istanbul, while 49 Demokrat party members face charges of sabotaging Istanbul power as a prelude to freeing Menderes.
