In The-
Day's iYews
By FRANK JENKINS
Lei's talk today about an Eng
lishman who thinks there ought
to be a WORLD language. His
name is William L. Simpkins, and
he lives in Berkshire County, in
England. He is a retired bank
er, and back in 1050 he de
cided to roam the world.
He has visited 40 dilfcrent
countries since then and has had
many interesting experiences and
has met many interesting people.
And, he says, he has enjoyed ev
ery minute of the time.
adds
'There is one complaint. Trot
iwg arouna over the world, one
finds so many people one can't
talk to. Why can't we adopt a
UNIVERSAL language like ES
PERANTO, so that we could all
converse together wherever wc
travel?"
Mr. Simpkins himself is an Es
perantisl. and wherever he goes,
he says, he spreads the message
t Esperanto and hands out leaf
lets from Esperanto's national
headquarters in Moadville, Pa
roreign languages are very
difficult to learn for the average
English-speaking person." he said
to a reporter in Portland the
other day. "But not so Esperanto.
I learned it fluently in six months
There's a Harvard student who
learned it in three weeks.'
Esperanto, he told his Portland
interviewer, is perfectly phonetic
each letter has a single invari
able sound., Accent is always on
the nextto-last svllable. The
grammer has but 16 simple rules,
huh no exceptions. Words are
self identifying: nouns end in "o.
adjectives in "a" and adverbs
in "e."
He added that although 50 per
cent of Esperanto's "roots" come
from Latin, Esperanto is much
easier to learn than Latin.
He then gave some examples.
"Bonan tagon." he said to the
reporter, and added: "cu vi volas
renkanti Britan mnndvogaganlon."
and then translated: "Good morn
ing, do you want to meet an Eng
lish traveler?"
Then he gave another example:
"Mi havas B9 jarojn" meaning
"1 am H9 years old." He added:
"Esperanto mi satas" I like Es
peranto. Maybe that's easier to translate
than Latin, or German, or French.
He evidently thinks so. But, look
ing at the stuff in print, one cnn'l
help wondering.
" "All you have to do," he said,
"to get in touch with fellow Es
perantists is to look in the phone
book for the local Esperanto or
ganization, and when you find an
Esperanlist you're happy. But.
once you leave him your language
troubles bob up again."
To identify himself as an Es
peranlist, Mr. Simpkins wears an
identifying triangular-shaped la
pel pin. To another Esperanlist.
that means: "You can talk to me
and I can talk to you."
Well, everybody to his own
likes. Mr. Simpkins likes Espo
Tanlo. And it would be wonderful
in these days if there were a
world language.
But-
Approximalely 270 million peo
ple already speak the English lan
guage, according to the best esti
mates. More people speak English
than any other language except
Chines', which is too complicated
to become a world language.
French probably comes next af-
ter English possibly as many
people in the world speak French
as English.
And there are only a FEW Es
perantists. Common sense tells us
we'd better stick to English and
French as a means of getting un
derstood all over Hie world.

ANKARA. Turkey 'UPH
Forces loyal to President Lemal
Gursel today crushed a military
tevolt in Turkey's two main cities
which left at least seven dead and
28 wounded.
Gursel told the nation that the
seven-hour revolt "by a few ad
venturers" was defeated early
this morning, but it was noon he-
fore government troops rounded
up the last of the rebels, including
their leader, former Army Col
Talat Aydemir.
Tile government later declared
martial law in Istanbul, Ankara
and Izmir for a period of one
month.
Gursel. staunchly pro-Western
kader whose nation borders Rus
sia and is a member of both the
NATO and CENTO military al
liances, used his armor, infantry,
and air force to defeat Aydemir
alter the rebels seized control of
Ankara's radio station shortly aft
er midnight and used. it to broad
cast antigovernment statements.
At the same time, regular
troops casilv repulsed an attempt
by about 100 retired officers who
donned their uniforms and tried
to seize Istanbul's radio station.
Military cadets who rallied to
Aydemir's side sought refuge in
buildings after being beaten back.
But the government forced them
to surrender by dropping smoke
bombs in the area. One bomb set
fire to a house. Machine guns also
were used in the operation.
Fighting took place around An
kara's radio station, the Defense
Ministry, and the Presidential
Palace.
Although tltere are a number of
U.S. military units in Turkey,
there were no reports of incidents
involving U.S. servicemen.
Aydemir was reported to have
had about 50 men and three
tanks. The station changed hands
four times during the early morn
ing. Gursel did not disclose the
number of casualties incurred ini
the fighting against Avdemir's
second attempted coup in little
more than a year. But there were
unconfirmed reports of gunfire in
the streets of the capital, and tw-o
deaths.
