Syria Rejects
Says U.S.
DAMASCUS, Oct. 23 (.P)—
Syria kept the Turkish issue
boiling today, giving a formal
rejection to King Saud's med
iation offer and in effect ac
cusing the U.S. Navy of send
ing planes deep over Syria.
Maj. Gen. Afif Biz y, army
chief of staff, said reconnaissance
planes fly almost daily over the
city of Horns, midway between
Damascus and the Turkish fron
tier.
"We believe the planes are not
coming from Turkey but from the
U.S. 6th Fleet in the Mediter
ranean because this fleet is work
ing together with the massing of
Turkish troops on the Syrian bor
der," he told reporters.
Sizry charged. Turkey began
massing troops on the Syrian
border for "offensive purposes"
