U S to Boost Military Aid to Turkey
The Eisenhower administration pledged about 200 million dollars in military aid to Turkey for the coming year and agreed to speed up arms deliveries. Prime Minister Adnan Menderes left Washington with a major diplomatic win, having avoided a deep cut and secured a larger total than the current year. The White House tied continued economic aid to Turkey to wartime needs while stressing Ankara as a key ally in the global struggle against communism. A joint communique outlined broad terms, omitting precise figures, and credited Menderes with advancing a four year arms program.
