The four Asian members of the

today they viewed with anxiety
and alarm" the rising tide Of
subversion in the Middle East.
They pledged all necessary meas
ures to meet the threat. The
communique did not pinpoint

sources close to the conference
said Communism was meant.
A communique issued by Iraq,
Iran. Pakistan and Turkey de-
clared their Continuing cooper
alton and concerted endeavors"
are essential for security and
stability.
The statement at the end of a
four-day conference here also re-
affirmed their views on a Middle
East settlement.
The Baghdad pact links the
four nations and Britain in an
alliance against possible Russian
aggression in the Middle East.
Following the Br;tish-French at
tack on Egypt. Iraq-the only

Lebanese Nip
Political Plot

BEIRUT. Lebanon, Nov. % ZAP.
Fast action by Lebanese au-
thorities apparently has nipped
a politically inspired plot to stir
up trouble in Lebanon.
Army and police units have
been making sweeping arrests
and searches this week and have
kept the lid on subversive activ-
tiles.
There has been a wave of
planted rumors and distorted
reports from Syria depicting
Lebanon as a military camp
swept by riots and violence. but
this is untrue. There have been
no violent anti-Western DEM
onstrations" as reported from
Damascus.
Pressure to Cut Ties
Lebanon'S government headed
by President Camille Glamour
has been under strong but I'M
successful pres ure to break off
relations with Britain and
France, as Syria and Egypt did
following the British French in
vasion.
Beirut remains CAIN. but there
is uneaSiness here about the
ultimate intentions of Syria to-
ward this country.
An ofnciai source disclosed
that the Lebanese Army has I'M
covered evidence of subversive
activities in Beirut. This source
said dynamite, arms and maps
containing certain instructions
were found in an automobile.
Beirut has had four bombings
during the past week.
This account. which passed
Lebanon's strict censorship,
indicated that a foreign diplo-
mat had been linked with the
automobile. There was no in
dication of this nationality
The source said the army
faxed an accident to turn up the
store of arms. dynamite and
maps. A Lebanese claimed he
had been run down by the auto
mobile and during the investi-
CATION army officers opened the
cars trunk and glove compart-
ment. More explosives and arms
were found later. The driver was
arrested.
2 Held in Bombing
Two other men have been
arrested in connection with the
bomoings of the British Bank
of the Middle East and the Brit
ish st. Georges Club.
Other bombing attacks have
been made On the French Bank
and a private home, but all were
minor. Reports from Damascus
that a bomb blew a hole in the
outer wall Of the presidential
palace are untrue.
Eight persons had been taken
into custody by noon Wednes-
day. The arrests are expected to
total at least IS.
