Student Demonstrations Spread in Turkey
Student rioting spread onpril to at least seven other cities after originating in Istanbul on the preceding day. Some of the most serious rioting occurred in the capital, Ankara, where several students were reported killed. Reports in Ankara indicate that Erzurum in eastern Turkey, site of Ataturk University, was also the scene of serious demonstrations. Other cities affected by the student demonstrations against the repressive policies of the Menderes government are Izmir, Adana, Trabzon, Sivas, and Sam-sun. Martial law, applied in Istanbul and Ankara onpril, may soon be imposed on the entire nation. Thus far, there has been no evidence that the riots have assumed an anti-American character.
Reports indicate that the demonstrators have been almoststudents, with the general public taking no active part in the rioting. The police have been the special target of the students, while detachments of soldiers sent to assist the police have usually been greeted as potential allies against the government. There have been no reports, however, of troops joining with the students.
Premier Menderes addressed the nation and called for calm onpril. He also denounced the "party fanatics" who havetheapparent reference to the leaders of the opposition Republican People's partyhe premierswift punishment for those responsible for the riots and stated his government's intention to preserve peace andinistry of Interior statement on the same day specifically blamed the RPP for instigating the demonstrations in Istanbul onh.

Prospects for Cuban May Day Rally
The mammoth May Day rally, planned to demonstratesupport for Fidel Castro, seems certain to beoncentrated attack on the United States and on what remains of private enterprise in Cuba. Developments which the US Embassy considers likely include announcements of the nationalization of public services and of the reorganization of the labor movement under strict government control, statements that there must be some change in the status of the US Naval Base at Guatanamo Bay, and calls for Puerto Rican freedom and Panamanian control of the Panama Canal. Castro is expected to condemn strongly alleged US intervention in Cuba through political and economic pressures and "bombings "
Castro may alsoolitical gambit, such asate to hold elections in order to deflect criticism of his dictatorial gov ernment. An announcement on May Day that diplomatic relations with the USSR will be resumed is considered by the embassy to be
that an
"important" Cuban-Soviet announcement is plannedayj
The US service attaches report that the Castro government for the first time is having to use strong-arm methods and threats to ensure large attendance at the rally. Government-controlled Radio Mambi Is haranguing its listeners to be present to show the world that theremall nation ready to face up to the colossus of Imperialism."
