Step Hailed by Both Sides
2 Marines
Held at Fire
Are Freed

BAGHDAD. Iraq. Aug. q lF1.
The United States recognized
the Republic of Iraq today. an
act accompanied by express
sions Of good viii from both
sides and the release Of two
arrested United States Marines.
United States Ambassador
Waldemar Gallman handed
the note Of recognition to For
eign Minister Abdul Jabbar
Jomard Of the regime that rose
to power July IA. \
Both Mr.. Gallman and Mr..
Jomard said they were pleased
by the act Of recognition and
expressed confidence that many
years Of close. friendly rela-
tons between the two nations
would continue.
After Mr.. Gallman presented
the note. the State Department
In Washington said:
''In the note. the United
States Government extend
recognition TO the government
of the Republic Of Iraq with
the expression Of its good
wishes"
Assurances Given by Iraa
The note specified that the
recognition was based upon as
surances that the Iraqi regime
felt bound by the United Ma.
tons Charter and other inter-
national obligations.
These other obligations in-
clude membership in the anti
Communist B az hdad Pact.
There has been much specula-
ton that under the new gov.
ernment Iraq would withdraw
from that alliance and declare
itself neutral as between the
Soviet and Western blocs.
Shortly after the note was
handed to Mr.. Jomard, the
Iraqis released to the United
States Embassy two Marines Of
the Embassy guard who had
been held since Wednesday.
They are Sergt. George C.
Hamilton Of Century, Fla, and
Sergt. Philip c. Smith Of West
Palm Beach, Fla.
Mr., Gallman said, however,
their release was not connected
with the act Of recognition.
Promise Carried Out
He said Mr.. Jomard prom
ised yesterday that the Marines
would be released today and
volunteered again this morning
before the recognition that
they would be released in a few
hours.
The Marines, in civilian
clothes, were caught in a cor
