Istanbul is by DC-3 r s of the Tlxrkish Airline. or by train,. The planes operate only under fully contact conditions with the result that an interruption of sca>ne days may occur in the service. In addition to that, some people are hesitant to Fly with this line because, s.side from the non-instrument aspects in a terrain. that is essentially mc~.3ntainous, the lllaintenance is allegedly alarmingly substandard. I wFZS advised that three fatal. accidents in a series last year resulted from i'sul.ty maintenance . The only reulaining way,- therefore, to reach Ankara if3 ~y train but in this connection there it3 a most peculiar-situation. The reservations on the train sx'e frequently sold out for days in advance. Despite the shortage they do not add extra trains or cars. I encountered. e~.ctly this difficulty in Gaming here and, although.I was fortuitously amble to obtain. one stray compartment of Cook's, the trains: were fully sold out far the ensuing six days. Similarly in returning now to Istanbul, although application was made well in advance, it was still, necessary to travel one day later than planned." - end - .,~-1- ~,~ ~~ ~ ~ 1 25 C p ppUISgqIK~ItiU I IVN , STATE ) ARMY~~ NAVY IS U11~et.G~1nF~--'.: 1C,J ,F~.. ~ A //f/L . - VW~ c~ wu ~?, Q~`t `~Cw~;~e;'i~/~ ~ `~ tai 9 c;~~ ~tSS~~IiI' This reporTis'fb~tft5't~e~ithi~fd"OSfSVtlg~n~ll1'yer~L"~~~yfitg~'d'C~~~~S+tinLht~~bfY~~~ds~~filh~(eH~F/bbb~OQi~a~nof be transmitted overseas unless concurrence of the originating office has been obtained through the Assistant Director for Colleriion and Dissemination, CIA.
