smartly dressed Iraqi colonel
staged a polite and smiling coup
here today. He busted his Am
bassador and top aides and set
up a minor diplomat as
temporary head Of the Iraqi
mission to Britain.
Col. Abdul Kadir Faik, mus
tached 35-year-old graduate OF
a British military staff college,
appeared at news conference
| to announce that the onetime
Embassy of the Kingdom of
Iraq is now the Embassy of
the Republic of Iraq.

C0nferS With Kassem
The colonel said he had con-
ferred by telephone today with
Brig. Abdul Karin Kassem,
Premier of the new Iraqi re-
gime, and received his instruc-
lions.
Col. Faik brushed aside ref
erenceS to the Ambassador
Prince Al-Amir Zeid ID al
Hussein. great uncle Of the
slain King Faisal and now sole
surviving member Of the Iraqi
royal family.
Hes a member of the royal
family" the army officer said
in explaining why he is no
longer Ambassador.
Col. Faik said the Iraqi
Prime Minister had told him on
the telephone:
For Gods sake make it
clear to the West that we are
still their friends. We will be
their friends and we should
like to continue the former
relations between Iraqi and the
West"
No Instruction on Pact
Col. Faik said such questions
as the Baghdad pact were
matters for Baghdad to de-
termine. He commented he had
received no instructions to at
tend a Baghdad pact meeting
July 20 in London.
Oil, he said, would continue
to flow to its usual markets.
He said there was no intention
to nationalize the oil fields.

Marines started an investiga-
ton as to whether rebels had
planted a bomb.

we're no casualties. Pro-Nasser

Mr.. Murphy refused to indi-
cate what was discussed, but
the call indicated he was max
ing contact with pro- Western
President Camille Chamoun's
opposition. Rebel leaders had
made no move to contact United
States officials on the ground
that their country's crisis is
purely an internal matter.

Col. NaSser'S recognition Of
the new regime in Iraq touched
off the final break with Jordan.
King Hussein. the junior part
ner in Jordan's federation with
Iraq, has claimed the fedora

Have Nothing to Do

There are Marine positions
all over the place here" said a
sergeant who fought In both
World War II and Korea.
They can't see anything and
they aren't fighting anybody.
They're sitting around with
nothing to do. How long are
they going to keep us here?"
That in fact is the very heart
of the question. The United
States and Britain have taken
action in the Mideast and per-
haps somehow the situation will
stabilize itself so the troops
can be withdrawn.
Meanwhile, however, the in
credible contradictions of a war
that isn't a war and a peace

10 IOT Whatever economic pur-
pose King Hussein's govern
ment sees fit.
The oil airlift to Jordan
went ahead. A United States
Embassy spokesman reported
yesterday that seven American
Globemaster planes had made
IA flights. each carrying rs
tons of oil.
U. S. Military Aid Unlikely
King Hussein also asked for
United States troops-and said
he expected TO get them. But it
seemed more likely that the
Uuitedk states at this stage
would leave military aid to King
Hussein to the British. There
are now about 1000 British
paratroopers in Jordan and the
Jordan government so far has
been able to keep pro-Nasser
elements under control.
The oil airlift repeatedly pro-
duced tense relations between
the United States and Saudi
Arabia. which refused to per-
init the big tanker planes to
fly over Saudi Arabian territory
from Bahrein. The oil reported
ly is coming from a United
States Navy supply ship of
Beirut. with the planes flying
across Israel.
The Saudi refusal to permit
the oil planes to fly across
Arabia apparently stemmed
from a fear of Col. Nasser.
JAR propaganda is strong in
Saudi Arabia's few cities and
Sheik Abdullah Tariki, the
only Saudi Arabian oil expert
who has enough know-how to

Col. Nasser was reported

possibility of Soviet military
action to back his cause.
Reliable sources in Beirut
said he has warned the United
States that the Soviet Union
is eager TO send troops to the
Middle East and II may not
be able to keep them out"
West Skeptical
Western observers persisted
in the belief that Col. NasSer
does not want Soviet troops in
the Middle East - that they
would threaten his own posi-
ton and be hard to pry out,
But if he can use the threat
Of Russian forces to brighten
the West from any attempt to
