Ankara, Turkey
ANKAPA, Turkey V—Rioting
against Premier Adnan Men-
deres spread to this capital city
today in defiance of martial
law.
At least 100 persons were in-
jured as mounted police, swing-
ing long riot sticks, charged in-
to demonstrating students.
With tear gas, the police
drove the students into the Law
and Political Science buildings
of Ankara University.
About 9,000 students took part
in the demonstrations. Eyewit-
nesses told of seeing four stu-
dents and a policeman killed,
but these reports could not be
confirmed
The demonstration began as
the Ankara students massed to
sing the Turkish independence
anthem and to shout approval
for the 10 000 Istanbul students
who rioted against Menderes
Thursday—some shouting "free-
dom" and citing the example
of Korean students who toppled
the Syngman Rhee regime.
The martial law declared

kara but failed to stop the po-

The proceedings against Hoffa
are based on a contention that
he misused union funds. They
