Whether Dr. Koprulu will attempt to head up an opposition group to Menderes within the Democratic Party is still to be seen. Menderes has the votes. But Koprulu is no small figure. He is one of the four founders (along with Menderes and President Celal Bayar) of the Democratic Party. His successor as Foreign Minister: Ethem Menderes, a relative of the Prime Minister, raised in Menderes' home...
Lobsters & Kebab. Last week Premier Menderes demonstrated that his heart is still with dams. For the dedication of the big Seyhan power-irrigation dam in southeast Turkey near fertile Adana, and a new bridge across the upper Euphrates, he organized a huge celebration attended by President Celal Bayar, most of Menderes' 469 Democratic Party Deputies, and 5,000 other notables.

...people said yes, by a landslide. On the basis of nearly final returns, the Democrats won 508 out of 541 seats. Celal Bayar would undoubtedly be chosen President, and would undoubtedly reappoint his strongman Premier Adnan Menderes, who is a first-class orator, a wily politician, and a millionaire. For the U.S., the result-though it assured a comforting continuity-was less important than the resounding demonstration of Turkish democracy at work...
