ANKARA, Turkey--

SYRIA: It's ridiculous to think Syria would invade Turkey. Her chance would equal a Mexican invasion of the United States. ...

Syria is not irrevocably lost. Democratic elements are plotting a change ... No one has exclusive rights to palace revolutions ...

It's hoped they will succeed. Soon. Time is not our friend. ...

It's essential to avoid direct involvement. Outside interference breeds resentment ...

The danger is that Syria will push the border nonsense too far and that Turkey will hit back ...

The Syrian army clique would be lonely tonight at an international Arab convention ...

Tel Aviv is silent. A verbal attack by Israel against Syria would win Syria Arab friends, for Israel remains Number 1 on the Arab hate parade ... 

RUSSIA--here is the terrible mystery. How far will they go to preserve the Syrian army clique? 

SUMMED UP: Watch and pray for a change inside Syria. Meanwhile undertake the tedious planning and awful cost of keeping free the rest of the Middle East.
