New Iraqi Regime
Winning Allegiance

biggest question marks. Would
they accept the change In govern
ment or would they be hostile?
United Press International corres
pondent Dan Gilmore went to
Kirkuk to find out. His dispatch
follows:
By DANIEL F. GILMORE
UPI Correspondent
Kirkuk, Iraq. (UPD The
new regime in Iraq appears to
be winning allegiance from
the tough, independent-minded
Kurd tribesmen who for
generations successfully de
fied Turkish, Russian, British,
French and Arabic domina
tion. One of the big uncertainties
of the Iraqi situation was the
position that the strong-willed
Kurds, who control this oil
drenched northern area,
would take to the Republican
regime.
So far, they are publicly
pledging support to the suc
cessors of King Faisal and
Premier Nuri Es-Said.
Cherished Hope
But they have their own
language, religion, customs
and ideals. A cherished hope,
supported by Britain and the
United States during and after
World War I, is an autono
mous Kurdistan.
This would include the
mountainous belt reaching to
Turkey through Northern
Iraq, Iran and into Russia it
self. No realist thinks such a
Kurdistan will evolve in our
times.
But the nascent tribalism of
the Kurds is undoubtedly
causing some preoccupation to
the new Iraqi authorities.
The fact is the Kurds are
not Arabs. They never have
been and by all indications
never will be.
The Kurds, who number
about 150.000 are as different
from the Iraqi people as their
cold and green mountainous
country is from the flat,
scorching desert land to the
south.
Be Prepared
They traditionally 'carry
arms even when at peace. It is
customary for them to lay the
arms aside when entering
cities, but I saw two or three
toting rifles in Kirkuk.
If they ever did take up
arms against the new regime,
they would be no match for
the modern equipment of the
Iraqi army but they could
cause harrassment from their
mountain fastness
The new regime hastened
to publicize telegrams of sup
port from Kurdish leaders
during the first days after the
coup d'etat.
There appeared to be no ba
sis for reports that Kurds
"pro-loyalst" rebels, held out
against the new regime in the
mountains. -
The few travelers I saw
from the border insisted all
was calm from the Turkish
border down as far as Kirkuk.
I got the same report from
travelers returning from the
Iranian border.
Kirkuk was as quiet on the
surface as Baghdad and all
the villages we passed.
Porter To Attend
Paris Conference
On Peace Problems
- Washington Rep. Charles
O. Porter (D-Ore.) announced
today that he has accepted an
invitation to attend an inter
national conference on the
problems of world peace to be
held near Paris in September.
The week long conference,
with sessions at Versailles and
Royan, France, is sponsored
by the World Association of
. Parliamentarians for World
Government. The invitation
came from the president of
the organization, Clement Ca
vies, a member of the British
Parliament.
Porter's tentative schedule
calls for him to leave Eugene,
Ore., by plane on Sept. 3 and
arrive back in Eugene on Sept.
12. However, an exceptionally

late adjournment of Congress
might force a last-minute
change in plans. The Congress
man now expects to return to
Oregon with his family by
automobile immediately after
adjournment.
Expects To "Learn
'"I expect to learn many
things at this conference
which can help me to be a
more effective Congressman,"
said Porter. "One of the chief
promises I made to the people
who elected me was that I
would spend at least a third
of my time on the problems of
war and peace."
Porter's expenses on the
trip will be underwritten by
the Institute for International
Order of New York City.
.Porter believes that the
word "Law" should be substi
tuted for the word' "Govern
ment" in the name of the spon
soring association. "I intend
to offer a motion to make this
symbolic change in the title
at some point during the con
ference," said Parter.
41 Members
The association has mem
bers in 41 countries. This
year's meeting will be at
tended by Earl Attlee, former
Prime Minister of Great Brit
ain, a number of -French and
English parliamentarians, the
U. S. Ambassador to France,
a strong delegation from Pak
istan and possibly some rep
resentatives from countries
behind the Iron Curtain.
Farm Bill Hopes
For This Session
All But Abandoned
Washington (CPD The
threat of a price-boosting cot
ton shortage loomed today as
House farm leaders all but
abandoned hopes for passage
of a farm bill this waning
session of Congress.
Lobbyists for the cotton
textile industry sought des
perately to revive the measure
.. defeated in the House Wednes
day. Democratic and Republi
can leaders accused each
other of administering the ap
parently fatal blow.
Pushed by Southerners
Democratic farm leaders,
mostly Southerners, had
I pushed the measure because
jit would stave off scheduled
sharp cutbacks in planting al
lotments for cotton and rice
:;next year. As a concession to
.Ithe administration, the bill
5 would have provided much of
the power sought by Agricul--5
ture Secretary Ezra Taft Ben
;son to reduce price supports
J for cotton, corn and rice.
All sides had agreed that
failure to enact legislation
"would force the administra
tion under the flexible farm
program to raise price sup
ports for next year s crops of
cotton and rice above present
levels.
Moreover, a sharp reduc
tion in planting also provided
under the present law threat
ened to push market prices
still higher next year.
Nevertheless, Republican
leaders engineered defeat of
the bill on the House floor
when it was called up under
an amendment-barring pro
cedure which required a two
to one vote for passage.
The measure was support
ed 210 to 186, far short of the
required two-thirds.
Reason for the GOP's op
position: they figured it would
lead to House passage of a
bill containing even greater
price concessions to Benson.
They figured, the initial de
feat would force Democratic
leaders to bring the bill up
under regular procedure and
give Republican leaders a
chance to persuade the House
to accept as a substitute the
Senate-passed farm bill which
the administration has en
dorsed. But the strategy apparently
boomeranged.
Speaker Sam Rayburn (D
Tex.) promptly served notice
that as far as he is concerned
the farm bill is dead and
won't be called up again be
fore adjournment.
Reciprocal Trade
Vote Seen Near
Washington OD The
Eisenhower administra
tion drew near a, major legis
lative victory today as the
House called up for certain
passage a bill to extend the
reciprocal trade program for
an unprecedented four years.
The trade program has been
extended 10 times before in
its 24-year history but never
for more than three years at
a time.
The current bill would
authorize the President at any
time up to June 30, 1962, to
negotiate and sign trade
agreements carrying tariff
cuts of up to 20 per cent.
The House also was slated
to consider a bill to' provide
20,000 four-year college schol
arships for bright students in
the fields of science and for
eign languages. The awards,
to range from S500 to S1.000
a year, would) cost an estimat
ed Sl,070,000,000 over a seven-year
period.
Still another matter up be
fore the House was a compro
mise money bill providing a
peacetime record of 539,602,
827,000 for defense .spending
during the current fiscal year.
House - Senate conferees
worked out the compromise
Wednesday night. It carried
S815,857,000 more than the
President asked and SI, 193,
266,000 more than the House
voted. At ' that it was more
than S440 million below the
Senate-approved total.

last week, told reporters there
was a "big drive" on within
the party to step up cam
paigns of the state's Republi
can hopefuls, including that
of Sen. William F. Knowland,
a candidate for the governor
ship. State Attorney General Ed
mund G. (Pat) Brown, the
Democratic gubernatorial can
didate, ran up a heavy lead
over Knowland in California's
June primary. Some Republi

ent support of "right to work"
legislation hurt him. ,

After his meeting with
Nixon, Milias conferred with
Knowland and Sen. Thomas
H. Kuchel (R-Calif.).
Milias said Knowland prom
ised to conduct a "hard, in
tensive" campaign after Con
gress adjourns. The chairman
said he is confident the sen
ator will beat Brown in No
vember and that the other
GOP candidates, including
Gov. Goodwin J. Knight, who
is running for Knowland's
Senate seat, also would win.
Knight is opposed by Rep.
Clair Engle (D-Calif.).
In addition, Milias predict
ed that the Republicans would
pick up two House seats this
fall those now held by Engle
and Rep. D. S. Saund, also a
Democrat.

Weinberger Killer Scheduled To Die
Ossining, N.Y. (UPD
Angelo John La Marca was
scheduled to die in Sing
Sing's electric chair tonight
for the 1956 kidnap-slaying of
little Peter Weinberger.
La Marca exhausted his fi
nal legal remedy Wednesday.
Only a reprieve by Gov.
Averell Harriman or interces
sion by a U. S. Supreme court
justice can forestall La Mar
ca's electrocution, scheduled
at 11 p.m. (EDT). Both steps
were regarded as unlikely.
La Marca's final legal re
quest an application for a
writ of habeas corpus was
turned down Wednesday by
Federal Judge Carroll C.
Hinks in New Haven, Conn.
La Marca, father of two
children, admitted he snatch
ed the Weinberger baby from
a patio behind the Weinberg
er's Long Island home July 4,
1956, then left him to die in
a roadside thicket. Although
he requested ransom ranging
from $2,000 to 85,000, he nev
er actually tried to collect the
money.
La Marca said he resorted
to kidnaping in a desperate ef
fort to pay debts.
