XLVI, No. 217 Syria U.S. Policy | DAMASCUS, Syria (m—Syrian ' of tHeial have returned to attacks on“'U.S. policy, accusing the United Strtes of warship diplo- macy and trying to make Syria a 49th state. After several days of more- temperate statements, Maj.-Gen. Afif Bizry and Foreign Minister Salah -Bitar strongly . denounced the U.S. Sunday. Bizry, leftist army chief-of- staff, charged that the U.S. is seeking to make Syria “one more state of the 48 in America.” . Syria docs not fear Soviet pen- etration, Bizry said at a press conference. Asked whether the Russians might be allowed to es- tablish a base in Syria, he re- plied: “Why should we give the So- viets a base when we refused to give the Americans one? The Americans asked for a base in Syria every time we asked them for arms. Russia never asked for a base.in Syria.” Bizry renewed charges that five U.S. warships had moved to within five miles of the Syrian coast. The U.S. has denied the charge. . .The foreign minister said Sy- ria is considering complaining to tee United Nations about alieged threats to Syria. One subject that may be included, he said, is the report that Turkish, troops have massed on Syria's border. ' Bitar said only Saturday that Turkey has assured Syria it had no intention of attacking. Bizry said he believes Turkey has massed two infantry divi- sions and one armored division on, the border. Adenauer — Government .
