Baghdad, Iraq (UPD Only
a few tanks and soldiers at
strategic street corners re
mained Saturday to show that
Iraq had undergone a violent
change in government.
Five days after the coup by
Army rebels that overthrew
the pro-Western monarchy,
killing King Feisal and
strongman" Premier Nuri Es
said in the process, Baghdad
was bustling with normal
life.
All signs were that the Re
publican regime set up by rev
olutionary Premier Brig. Ab
del Kerim Kassem was in
control throughout the coun
try. Departments Operating 0
Government departments
have been operating in Bagh
dad sjnee Taa&Sts-. fexs and
offices are open. Taxis and
. trains are running. Public
services never were interrupt-
ed and there is normal tele-
phone service.
Yesterday morning, govern.
mit authorities took news-
men to see Fadl Jamali, for-,
, mer foreign minister and
1 Iraqi United Nations delegate
: whom American delegate
Henry Cabot Lodge had re-
ported was murdered. ,
Jamali appeared in good
- (hape. He was well groomed
' and was dressed in trousers
: andiirt. He wore spectacles,
' as usual.
Government forces found
. Jamali hiding out in a chick
; en farm belonging to his rela
': tives outside Baghdad. Ac-
cording to government auth
- orities, he was found dressed
- in native Arab clothing and
,. had with him a small fortune
in dollars, pounds sterling and
, Turkish currency.
Said Naiionat
I Jamali was reported to
have said when captured "Let
me alone. I am your brother.
- I, too, am a Nationalist."
In Cario, press dispatches
O said the new regime planned
to prosecute opponents seized
during the coup.
J Baghdad radio issued the
; first report in the revolt on
Monday. Tne next day, Pre-
mier Nuri Es Said was re
) I ported found dressed as a
- woman and shot dead after
he fired on rebel troops.
0 Friday, the American, Brit-
ish and Pakistani ambassa
; dors ' all conferred with the
new foreign minister. De-
tails were not disclosed and
J there was no wojjd on the
; new government's intentions
. concerning th Baghdtd pact.
" Iraq had been th only
Arab state in the five ntion
pact. Egypt and Syria oppos
ed the pact.
Units Ordered
Informed sources said the
revolt occurred when Army
units were ordered to go from
Iraq to Lebanon. The sources
said certain officers rebelled
against the idea of fighting
other Arabs. Army units took
up key positions in Baghdad
and surrounded the royal pal
ace. The secrecy with which the
coup was carried out appar
ently caught everyone, includ
ing the intelligence service,
by surprise.
There were widespread
demonstrations in support of
the republic. Many demon
strators shouted the name of
United Arab Republic presi
dent Gamal Abdel Nasser.
Atlas Missile
Explodes in Air
Cape Canaveral, Fla. (UPD
A massive Atlas inter-continental
missile, unleashed de
spite a last-second "hold" or
der, exploded after a 70-sec-ond
flight Saturday and
plunged into the Atlantic in
two smoking chunks.
The Atlas, tried for the first
time with all three of its en
gines designed ultimately to
give it a 5,000 to 6,000-mile
push, traveled only a couple
of wobbly miles beyond the
tip of Cape Canaveral before
it blew up in a black and
white cloud of combustion.
Statement Released
In a statement released
after the launching, Convair
said the Atlas "has never
failed to launch itself from
the pad smoothly, or retain
complete stability during ver
tical rise."
Late Saturday, Air Force
recovery boats worked off the
cape to recover the wreckage
of the rocket. Observers on
the beaches could see the bow
booms of the boats pulling
the wreckage up from the
ocean floor.
It zoomed so low and
threateningly before the flop
that military cameramen on
the tip of the cape scurried
for cover.
The rocket was the same
Atlas the Air Force tried to
fire last Saturday, last Tues
day and again Friday. The
first two delays were caused
by "internal difficulties," but
there was no explanation for
Friday's cancellation.

Reds Said to Have
24 Divisions Near
Border of Turkey
Hamburg, Germany (UPD
The Soviet Union has massed
24 army divisions along the
Turkish and Iranian borders,
far exceeding Allied forces
in the Middle East, highly
authoritative West German
intelligence reports said Sat
urday. The reports said the force
included many armored and
mechanized divisions equip
ped with new T-54 medium
tanks.
The Kremlin announced
last week it was holding ma
neuvers in the area, apparent
ly planned months ago, but
these were the first authori
tative reports on how big
they were.
Main Soviet Force
The main Soviet, force is the
Transcaucasus army on the
Iranian and Turkish borders,
commanded by Marshal An
drei Grechko, the reports
said.
They said it totals 19 divi
sions, two - thirds of them
armored, and mechanized di
visions equipped with T-54
tanks.
Transcaucasus is the tip of
the big peninsula of Soviet
territory that juts south be
'tween the Black Sea and the
Caspian Sea.
. The other five divisions are
under Marshal Cyril Merez
kov in the Turkenian military
district on the Iranian border
east of the Caspian Sea, the
reports said.
Highly - informed intelli
gence officials said none of
Russia's 10 to 12 airborne di
visions are in the border ma
neuvers. Exceeds Allied Forces
From all indications, the
reports said, the total Soviet
armed strength in the area
far exceeds Allied forces in
Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan.
At the same time, they said,
the landing of U.S. troops in
Lebanon may have disrupted
Soviet plans to send "volun
teers" to bolster rebel forces
in Lebanon.
The intelligence sources
said it has been learned that
late last month the Soviet
Union began organizing such
"volunteer" forces.
It was also learned that the
Czech army was told by the
Soviet army in June that
satellite volunteers were
wanted to accompany Soviet
volunteers, "possibly to Leb
anon," the sources said.
Japan's Proposal
Has Faint Chance
Ot Success in UN
United Nations, N.Y (EPD-
Japan's forthcoming com-,
promise proposal on the Mid
dle East deadlock in the. Se
curity Council has only faint
chance of success, observers
said Saturday. Any ' effective
U.N. action appeared to hinge
on a meeting of the full Gen
eral Assembly.
The Soviet veto of an Amer
ican proposal to replace U.S.
forces in Lebanon with an. In
ternational police force and
the failure of a Soviet bid to
force immediate withdrawal
of the American Marines and
soldiers blocked any quick
U.N. action.
The Japanese proposal, still
being drawn up, could not be
taken up before Monday.
Now In Recess
The General Assembly now
in recess, could not meet until
Wednesday at the earliest
U. S. Amabassador Henry
Cabot Lodge called on the
deadlocked Security Council
Friday night to summon, the
veto-less assembly, but he
agreed that a decision should
be postponed until the Jap
anese resolution is taken up
The Japanese resolution ap
peared to have little chance
of success. It apparently does
not spell out whether U.S.
forces should pull out of
Lebanon and it does not co7
er British troops in Jordan.
Thus it might be vetoed by
the Soviets.
Also, it apparently does not
specify whether any addition
al U.N. personnel sent into
Lebanon should be armed.
The . Soviets oppose armed
U.N. forces. The United States
wants any such force to bear
arms.
Compromise Resolution
According to observers, the
compromise resolution satis
fies neither the United States
nor the Soviet Union.
In Stockholm, Swedish gov
ernment sources reported that
N.N. Secretary-General Dag
Hammarskjold is supporting
a two-point "peace plan" for
Lebanon.
According to the sources,
the plan would provide for
strengthening the U.N. obser
vation teams now in Lebanon,

Eisenhower Cautions
Troops in Mid-East
By SAM FOGG
United Press International
Washington (UPD Presi
dent Eisenhower cautioned
U.S. fighting . men in the
Middle . East Saturday to be
on guard against "deliberate
attempts" to provoke them
into incidents that would give
cause for anti-American propaganda.
In a personal message
broadcast to troops in the
crisis-ridden area, the Presi
dent also told the servicemen
they would be withdrawn "as
soon as the independence and
integrity of Lebanon are se
cure.". He warned them they face
"a trying time" but that their
performance of duty "is the
greatest contribution you
make to the peace of the
world the saving of free
dom of a small and friendly
country."
Assailed By Propaganda
"While on this duty," he
said, "you may be assailed by
propaganda whipped up by
skillful and ambitious men.
There may be deliberate at
tempts to involve you as units
or individually in inci
dents which will be greatly
exaggerated by these propa
gandists to suit their own pur
poses.
"Through it all, just re
member you are representing
the United States of America
that you are true to her
ideals in .helping a people to
keep their freedom.'
"We have no histile intent
toward any people anywhere
in the world."
The President recorded the
broadcast to explain to the
Marines, Paratroopers, Navy
men and Airmen why he dis
patched them to the trouble
zone. He asserted the pro
Western Arab Republic
Lebanon and Jordan was
threatened by "outside forces
which have sent men and mu
nitions ... to help in destroy
ing its democratic govern
ment, based upon free popular
elections."
"You are helping the Leb
anese people to remain free,"
he added.
'After recording the broad
cast Saturday morning the
President flew by helicopter
to his Gettysburg, Pa., farm
for a rest.
Press Secretary James C.
Hagerty said the Chief Execu
tive would be kept constantly
informed of Mideast develop
ments until he returns this
afternoon.
Britain Orders 400 Men Info Libya
London (UPD Britain or
dered 400 Royal Marine com
mandos ashore at Tobruk
Saturday to beef up military
strength in Libya, the defense
ministry announced.
