Madame Tezer Taskeran. an
attractive dark-haired woman of

hot spot of the cold war, know
the Russian bear could start ma

"We are not a bit scared," she

Installment
Boom Still
New York (U.R) A nation
wide survey showed that the big
boom in installment plan buying
is still to come.
Merchants across the country
told United Press that consum
ers still resisted prices even
though Regulation W, which
covered down payments and in
stallment plan buying, was re
moved last May 7.
"For the same reason, the guy
who has a buck isn't buying,
one merchant said.
No Change Noted
Most merchants queried said
they had noticed no change in
Speeding Truck
Runs Into Train;
Village Damaged
Sawyer, Mich. (U.R) Three
teen-agers in a speeding panel
truck crashed into a Chesapeake
and Ohio freight train Sunday
night, causing 31 cars to jump
the track and wreck part of this
small Southwestern Michigan
community's business district.
State police said the truck
knocked one freight car off the
rails at a crossing one mile north
of here. Troopers said the train
dragged a damaged car until it
hit a switch, causing the derail
ment of a string of cars in the
middle of the 107-car freight.
Village Damaged
Splintered cars piled as high
as three deep and twisted wreck
age was ' driven into buildings
along the village's main street.
Trooper Richard Dalton de
scribed the scene as a "mess."
The place looks like a mass of
steel," he said. "There are cars
lying every which way over
turned, piled up and twisted."
Two occupants of the truck,
Ronald Sonnenberg, 16, Sawyer,
and Starr BriehtbiU. 15, New
Trov. Mich., were injured seri
ously. A third occupant, Shirley
Trapp, New Troy, was not seri

the towns business district, a
C & O sDokesman said. "We

TO GRAND JURY
Henry Fong, owner of Kim's
restaurant, who was io appear
at a preliminary hearing tomor
row In district court on two crim
inal complaints, was bound over
to the grand jury this morning
following a request by his attor
ney, Frank Van Dyke, accoraing
to Deputy District Attorney Bob
Dickey Both complaints charged
felonies and were signed by Mrs.
Grace M. Teeple, wife of the
business agent of the union cur
rently picketing Kim's restau
rant, t
the southwest border of the So
viet. Border Respected
Madame Taskeran, who is on a
three-month visit to this country,
said, however, that the dividing
line between the two countries is
honored rather Btrictly.
"Both we and the Russians
have armed guards at fhe fron
tier," she said. "Occasionally one
of our villagers will wander
across the border but not for
long. We're neighborly but we're
not the type to gossip over the
back fence. We tend to our own
business."
Madame Taskeran, a former
school teacher, has been a mem
ber of parliament for eight years.
Turkey, a democracy, has the
two-yarty system, as in this coiuv
try. She's a Democrat.
She is proud that three wom
en are included in the 483-mem-
ber governing body.
Voting Since 1930
'After all," she said, "you
women have been voting since
the 20s and we weren't given the
vote until 1930. It was 1934 be
fore women could run for parlia
ment." The lawmaker holds a philoso
phy degree from the University
of Istanbul and for 18 years
taught in Istanbul and Ankara.
She is married to a surgeon and
they have two children and one
grandchild.
The Turkish woman is in this
country at the State Depart
ment'! invitation to study rural
life.
She will visit schools and club
groups such as Four-H and Fu
ture Farmers in Georgia, Florida,
Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona,
California, Illinois and Michigan
She plans to return to Turkey

Buying
To Come
business since the government,
in removing the regulation, gave
consumers "more time to pay"
and smaller down payments in
some cases.
But the merchants expressed
confidence a boom in buying
would start soon.
"It's like a man carrying a
load on his back," an automo
bile association executive said.
"When the load is taken off, it
takes him a while to realize it."
Upswing Normal
Automobile sales Jumped 20
per cent at Louisville, Ky., and
on the west coast, but a Califor
nia Automobile association offi
cial said the upswing was "nor
mal" since sales there had been
down.
John S. Meek, president of a
television chain, said in Chicago
that his stores in 16 cities indi
cated a 25 per cent increase in
sales during the first week after
credit controls were removed.
Big department stores in San
Francisco indicated there had
been no appreciable change in
buying. "Business is damned
poor," an official of Weinsteln's
at San Francisco said.
Small merchants in Detroit
advertised "no down payments"
without getting the kind of re
sponse they wanted.

Teachers Taking
Gl Bill Courses
Need Statements
School teachers who are World
War II veterans and who plan
to spend the summer studying
for a degree under the GI bill
will need a supporting statement
from a responsible official of
their school, stating they have
been regularly employed at
teaching during the 1951-52
school year, it was announced
today by the Veterans Adminis
tration. The statement, which should
show the beginning and ending
dates of employment, must be
presented to the school at the
time the teacher starts his course,
the VA said. The school will for
ward it to the VA along with the
rest of his enrollment papers,
GI bill teacher-students must
attend summer sessions of not
loss than five weeks, and the
course must lead to an academic
degree.
The VA said the rules apply to
teachers who were enrolled un
der the GI bill last summer. They
will be permitted to study for
a degree during succeeding sum
mer terms, so long as they are
regularly employed as teachers
the rest of the year and do not
skip any summer sessions.
The VA said veterans finishing
school this spring, who plan to
get jobs as teachers this fall,
must make early application for
enrollment in courses this sum
mer term, if they expect to con
tinue working for advanced de
grees under the GI bill at future
summer sessions.
