First Report On New Regime. "The first official appearance of the military junta headed by General Cemal Gursel that overthrew the Menderes regime. Life returns to normal in Ankara and the countryside, but the army is still in charge, with jeeps patrolling the streets, and military police directing traffic." Vehicles drive by, filled to overflowing with people waving flags. Brief street scene with light auto traffic but nothing unusual -- could pass for everyday life. MCUS - Wreath-laying ceremony; lots of men in uniform salute. MCUS - Troops or police march with guns on shoulders.
