Dixon led off the debate with
an appeal to Israel and Egypt
to agree to erection of physical
barriers along the Gaza line
which separates the two coun
tries.
Turkey assures
determination. “No prison, ex
ile, or death shall deter us
from our purpose,” !he said.
The crowd responded with
shouts of “we will give our
blood.”
Not only were western of
ficials concerned with the sit
uation in NATO itself. The
future of the relatively recent
Greek, Yugoslav, Turkish ac
cord appeared in doubt.
Authoritative sources re
ported in Athens that a con
ference of the three Balkan
pact nations’ chiefs of staff,
scheduled to be held in Ankara
this month, had been postpon
ed because of the rioting.
Turkey, Greece and Britain
all took measures to prevent
further violence in the eastern
Mediterranean.
The Turks reimposed mar
tial law — after lifting it for
12 hours — on Istanbul and
Izmir. Reports from Istanbul
reckoned the toll in the riot
ing Tuesday night in the two
pitires at oUU persons injured
and damage to Greek-owned
property runnm/g to millions i
of dollars. The Turkish gov-j
ernment promised speedy com-j
pensation.
[Martial law also was extend
ed to the Turkish capital of
Ankara.
Seeking to prevent reprisals
the Greek government rushed
troop reinforcements to cities
and sectors of Greece having
large Turkish minorities.
Britain strengthened her na
val patrol blockading the Cy
prus coastline. Their object is
to stop the smuggling of arms
from the European mainland
to terrorists on the island who
have been fighting the Enosis
campaign with hit-and-run at
tacks on government and mil
itary installations.

persons flea their mountain
homes in the big blaze near
Santa Barbara.
Traffic on U. S. highway
101, the main north-south
coastal artery, was halted be
cause oif the menacing flames.
At Yreka, fire crews back
fired timber and brush land on
the west side of town and
scored ‘TOO per cent success ’
in stopping the mammoth
blaze that once roared to with
in 4 miles of the city limits.
“That saved the town be
yond a doubt,” said Harry
Frebbin, spokesman for the
Klamath [National Forest.
In San Francisco, William
Fisher, U. S. Forest Service
reformation officer, said:
“It is probably one of the
vorst fire situations in 30
[years and mayibe longer.
Veteran (firefighters from
Oregon, Washington and Utah
were (being flown in to bolster
more than 6,000 men battling
fires in various parts of the
state. Sixth army headquarters
in San Francisco announced
another 500 soldiers have been
dispatched to the Klamath For
est to augment 500 already
there.
Another hard hit area, Hum

tern California coast, reported
much progress in the fight to
check a rash of fires that have

CAUGHT IN VISE
'by The Associated Press
It looks like New York and
Chicago caught in a vise be
tween Cleveland and Boston,
are feeling most of the pres
sure in that tight American
league race while the first
place Indians and the robust
Red Sox are playing ’em free
and loose.
• Cleveland, making a half
jgame lead look big, rumbled
past Baltimore 6-^0 last night
as Early Wynn gained his
200th major league victory
and gave the Triibe seven tri
umphs in the last nine games
The Bostons, too. had a hall,
blasting Detroit 7-4 for their
sixth straight success.
The Yankees and White Sox
got home safe to hold’ the pace
but they had a much tougher
time of it. Whitev Ford spun
his second ibeat Kansas City
2-1. And Chicago, V/2 games
behind Cleveland and the
same margin ahead of 'fourth
place Boston, had a heckuva
scare before edging Washing
ton 4-3.
In the National league,
meanwhile,, Brooklyn whip
ped 'Milwaukee 3-1, Igiving the
Dodgers no worse than a tie
for the flag. One more victo
ry hy the Brooks, or another
Milwaukee defeat, ' puts the
pennant in Brooklyn.
Wynn, a 35-year-old night
hander who led the league
with 23 victories a year ago,
marked up a 16-9 record for
the season with a five-hitter.
He walked three and had run
ners on base most of the time,
but the Tribe hacked him
with 4 douibleplays and Lar
ry Dolby’s two homers that
drove in four runs.
! Ford, who one-hit Washing
ton last Fridy, gave one of his
six walks ahead of Jim Fini
gians’ two-out Iground* rule

ter intentionally filling the
bases, uncorked a wild pitch
that left him in a 1-1 tie. The
