By JERRY LIEBMAN
Kayseri, Turkey, April 20
Spring comes very shyly to
Turkey. It is full spring now
but the signs are hard to find.
The country landscape re
mains brown and rocky. Only
a single blossoming tree or a
light green haze in some
ribbon-like valley show any
touch of springtime. This is
true of Istanbul as well where
an occasional fruit tree blos
soms white or pink against
the walls of a mosque.
Istanbul is perhaps an in
hospitable place for spring.
It is a bustling, busy city
whose air is choked with coal
smoke. The city, unlike Paris
in the spring, seems much too
occupied with itself to take
notice of any season.

112 SOUTH RIVERSIDE
Istanbul is a working am
algamation of the East and
the West. Its culture and re
ligion are definitely Oriental
and yet the scale of its bus
iness is that of the Occident.
It is undergoing a frantic face
lifting at present, part of Pre
mier Menderes' plans to con
vince the West that Turkey is
modern.
Looks Bomb-Scarred
The city looks as though it
were bomb-scarred. Bulldoz
ers push through ancient and
densely populated areas, ex
posing to light buildings and
alleys that have lain shadow
ed for centuries. Soldiers are
being used for the most part
in these projects.
Unfortunately, much charm
is being destroyed by this
modernization, though it
must be admitted the exist
ing traffic conditions in Istan
bul are intolerable.
The entire Middle East is
seized with this fervor to con
vince the tourist that it is
modern. I wonder if the gov
ernments of these countries
realize that the tourist is vis
iting because he wants to see
the charm of the antique.
Situation Complicated
This is especially true of
the American abroad who de
lights in the picturesqueness
of age' that his own country
lacks. The situation is com
plicated and somewhat amus
ing, but since national pride
is involved the .tourist is
bound to lose. I suspect I may
be playing the part of the
romantic who can cry out for
the salvation of the things he
would hate to live with.
The historical monuments
of Istanbul, such as Hagia So
phia and the Mosque of Sul
tan Ahmet, are being restor
ed. I find it jarring, to see
bright paint applied to crumb
ling, ancient stone. I feel
cheated somehow, as though
I am not seeing the real thing.
Walls, six centuries old, are
being sandblasted. The mel
low patina of those six cen
turies is removed and what
remains is a building built
yesterday.
i Even Greece is overly re
storing, motivated, they say,
by a rebirth of a nationalistic
pride in history. I suspect a
play for tourists is more at
heart. Where six years ago I
visited the Agora, ancient
market place of the 5th cen
tury Greeks we know from
Thucydides, I pushed through
weeds and the blood-red wild
poppies to find the ruins.
Fallen Columns
It was touching. The
growths entwined in the fall
en columns amplified the mel
ancholy of a dead civilization.
All has changed in these last
six years, however. Now there
are paved walks, flower beds
and signs asking me not to
walk on the grass. The Agora
today is simply an exhibi
tion, j
The most appealing spot, in
Instanbul to visit, in my op
inion, is the palace of the
Sultans, the Seraglio. The
harem is especially exciting
for the very reason that it
has not been restored as
yet. There, at least, I can
feel that I am experiencing
the ancient rooms and I can
know that these are the da
mask hangings, the mirrors
and decorations that the wo
men of the palace had touch
ed and used. The silks are in
tatters but that is as it should
be.
The harem is a jumbled
place, a labyrinth. I had had
my suspicions that harem life
must not have been the plea
sant life that Ingres and the
19th century painters depict
ed, and now I am certain. The
women must have lived days
of tedium, totally, divorced
from the living world by
walls covered with silk and
damask it is true but made of
strong stone. There is no view
and so little to do. The other
parts of the palace have views
aplenty, but only for the men.
The palace straggles with
no purpose and lacks the sym
metry the Westerner expects, j
We know only the balanced
classical design of our own
monuments and large build
ings. Here, each sultan would
add a pavilion or a wing to
the existing complex. The re
sult is delightful.
Many airy pavilions of
glass perched high on the ter
races look out over the Bos
porous and the Golden Horn
harbors. Heating was by burn
ing charcoal in highly orna
mented brass braziers. No
wonder the Turks seen in the
paintings adorning the palace
are so heavily robed.
Cost of traffic accidents in
California during 1957 was
estimated at $461,375,000 by
the National Automobile Club.
