Rebels Claim
Support From
Throughout Land
Tehran, Iran-IUPll-Army and
air force units reoeliea in
Iraq today, overthrew the
government and ai.nounced
that Piesident Abdel Karim
Kassem was slain.
The rebels apparently were
sympathetic to the United
Arab Republic, whose radio
in Cairo hailed the revolt as
'the dawn of a bright future
for the Iraqi people and
army."
Headquarters Bombed
Word of the revolt came
from rebel radio broadcasts
and diplomatic dispatches to
capitals throughout the Mid
dle East.
Reports reaching Ankara,
Turkey, said Kassem's head
quarters in the Defense Min
istry Building were bombed
at 8:30 a.m. and the structure
reduced to rubble, with Kas
sem possibly buried in the
wreckage. But rebel broad
casts indicated his body may
have been dragged into the
streets for the public to see.
Brigadier Abdel Karim
Mustafa was named leader of
the new ruling junta. He was
identified as commander of
the Erramadi garrison in the
suburbs of Baghdad, but little
else was known about him.
Claim Military Support
The revolt apparently had
its focal point in the cap'tal
of Baghdad, legendary, "Ara
bian Nights" city. The rebels
also claimed military support
throughout the country. They
indicated they were in con
trol of the situation and that
officers and officials loyal to
Kassem had been arrested or
were in flight.
Weight Label on

Salem - IUPD - A bill to re

a weight label in letters one

The measure offers one pos
sible solution to the contro
versy over balloon loaves.
The Hunt proposal also
would repeal the present law,
overthrown in court, that was
intended to let the Agricul
ture department specify the
size and shape of bread pans
Hunt said he opposed the
phMosc.y Hi letting an agen
cy specify the size of a loaf
of bread.
"Under the terms of my
proposal," he said, "t h e
weight of a loaf of bread will
be where the purchaser can
see it at a glance and if some
baker wants to bake a new
loaf in the shape of a star
I say let him do it."

Southern
Water Supply Is
Reduced
The residual February

southern Oregon have been
reduced in all cases from 10
to 15 per cent over last
month's outlook, Robert D.
Church, meteorologist at the
Medford station of the U.S.

below normal and precipita
tion was light, about 30 to 50

Practically all the precip

Survey Indicates
Driest Year Yet,
MID Report Notes
The Billie Creek snow sur
vey indicates the driest year
on record, according to a
Medford Irrigation district res
ervoir report today.
Billie Creek snow pack wa
ter content Feb. 1 measured
1.9 inches compared to the
previous driest year of 1934
showing 7.8 inches water con
tent. Records there go back to
1929, irrigation district offi
cials said.
Reservoir supplies, snow
pack and precipitation to date
are well under the 15-year
average. This indicates a dry
year for the area east of Bear
creek served by MID. How
ever, the area west of Bear
creek will be In good shape
since it is served from the
MID storage share of the Tal
ent Irrigation district reser
voirs. This is a percentage of
the available water stored by
MID.
The snow survey indicates
no snow pack at Fish lake,
a trace of snow at Rye Spur,
1.9 inches of water content at
Billie creek snow pack and
2 inches of water content at
the Four Mile lake snow pack.
Conditions Could Change
"Thi jc only a comparison
and it should be realized there
is approximately 60 days re
maining in this accumulation
period and conditions could
change," MID officials said.
The 15-year average shows
10.3 inches of water content
at Fish lake, 17.6 inches at
Billie creek and 20.3 inches
at Four Mile lake. Rye Spur
is a new course.
At Fish lake ll-.c district

pared to a usable capacity of

Four Mile lake has 6,000

ty of 00,000 acre feet. Hyatt

Bidding Possible

I tee during a hearing on fed
! eral grazing policies.
I An increase in the fees ap
peared almost certain as Car

much of the already light

Close to 70 Per Cent
Forecasts made Feb. 1 in
dicate that the flow yet to
come will be close to 70 per
cent on the Rogue, Umpqua
and Klamath basins, Church
stated, and near to 85 per
cent to the east on the Che
waucan basin,
The complete residual fore
casts, February through Sep
tember, listed by Church are
North Umpqua river below
Lemolo reservoir 170,000
acre feet, 73 per cent; Rogue
river below South Fork 730,

Upper Klamath lake net in

On Jan. 1, in his forecast,
Church said indications were
that the residual flow Janu
ary to September would be
below the 15-year average.
He also warned of critical
water shortages, which he
said could be experienced in
the southern Oregon area un

President Plans
Personal Message
To Khrushchev
Presence Called
'Matter of Concern'
Washington -IUPD- President
Kennedy was reported today
to be stepping up pressure on
Russia to pull its military
forces out of Cuba.
Informed sources said the
President planned to send a
personal message to Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev
asking him just when he was
going to keep his promise to
remove these armed units
from the doorstep of the Unit
ed States. These sources said
they did not know whether
the message had actually been
dispatched as yet.
The President said Thurs
day the continued presence in
Cuba of an estimated 17,000
Soviet military personnel, in
cluding about 6,000 organized
into regular combat units, was
a "matter of concern to us."
Under Discussion
He told a news conference
this "unfinished business" was
under discussion with the Rus
sians. Kennedy said he wanted
to get a more specific idea of
what Khrushchev meant when
he promised last November
that his military forces would
be pulled out "in due course."
At the same time, the Presi
dent warned that any Soviet
effort to sneak offensive mis
siles or bombers back into
Cuba -would "produce the
greatest crisis which the world
has faced in Its history."
I He said he doubted that
Russia would risk war by
