jected itself into the internal at
fairs Of the United States. The
State Departments only reaction
has been to express pleasure that
Iraq sees fit TO accept free Alneri-
can munitions for "the defense Of

Expressing the view that anti
Jewish elements are now at work
behind the scenes in Washington,
the Iraqi broadcast said "the re-
cent months have witnessed a
tangible change in the policy of
the United States toward the
Middle East, with less attention
being paid to the interests of Is

Iraqi Ambassador Moussa AL
Shabandar, in an address before
American officials at Washing
tons Shoreham Hotel, sought
publicly to engender suspicious
regarding the loyalty of American
Jewry. A similar speech previous
~ came from Charge D'Affaires
Abdullah Ibrahim Bakr of the
Iraqi Embassy. The Bakr address,
however, was not delivered per.
sonally but was read on the
Iraqi's behalf at the Statler Hotel
by Edwin M. Wright, State De-
partment officer in charge Of
Turkish affairs.
Publicity has been given in
Washington to an April is radio
broadcast over the Iraqi Home
Service originating in Baghdad.
In this broadcast of Iraqi Govern

Iraq is placing It's trust in Sen.

lea. The mere emergence Of this
tug Of war should fill the Arabs

Concentrating on the suspen-
sion by the Atomic Energy Com
mission of DR.. J. Robert Open
heimer, the Baghdad radio well
coined this as evidence that the
United States considers Jews as
likely security risks. Baghdad
said: 'This new scandal exploded
like a bombshell in the United
States, and its results will become
apparent in the near future. At
any rate, the results will not be
gratifying to the Jews of Amer
