The turkish ports Are needed to spread the Load. It is necessary to show the Flag to reassure Turkey the United states i standing by them and to re mind file soviet Union of . Strength. Exclusion of the Fleet from turkish ports would be a significant propaganda Victory for the  officials Are More sensitive to the anti american ism that has been building Here in recent years. Some argue there is already a Large american military presence i Turkey 30,000 counting dependents which with its richly stocked pm s and High stand Ard of living rasps the sensitivities of even non Leutwin turks. The 6th Fleet visits Are another irritant. The visits Are a perfect excuse for left Wing elements to provoke disturbances. The government must Call out police against its own citizens to protect . Sailors. The visits Are meant to Bea show of strength. But the sailors Are under orders not tobit Back and must rely on the Protection of turkish police. The sight of american sailors cow ering under police Protection or leaping into the water to escape club swinging mob does not reinforce a picture of .strength.
