Implicated in the first week's disclosures by New York's Commissioner of Investigation Louis Kaplan were at least 100 butchers, a union president, the city's director of the Bureau of Weights and Measures, and a bureau inspector.

Informed that a senior U.S. officer in the NATO command had supported the brutality charges, Eddy firmly informed newsmen: "In my opinion it is impossible for a responsible American officer to make such a statement." Last week the Izmir public prosecutor's office formally charged Police Inspector Yilmaz Capin and Policeman Ilhan Suyolcu with mistreating the protesting sergeants during and after their arrest...
