Probers Fail
To Indict 3

LA FLA IA, Mo-, May D tAFl
The Charles County grand
jury has refused to indict three
Maryland fisheries inspectors
who participated in the April 8
shooting which cost the life OF
a Virginia FISHERMAN on the
Potomac River. Two Virginians,
however, were indicted on
charges of illegal oyster dredg-
ing.
After hearing three days OF
evidence, the jury dismissed
the action against the inSpec-
tors brought by States Attor-
ney George w. Bowling. He
had taken the case to the
grand jurors after manslaugh-
ter charges against the inspec-
tors were dismissed in magis-
trate's court last Friday.
However, the jury returned
indictments against two Vr-
ginia survivors of the shooting
Harvey King, "a, and John F
Griffith, SO, both of Colonia

They we're accused of lille
gally dredging oysters in the

If the Soviet Union and East

treaty during the foreign min

SIS Million Given
GSA for Plans in
Rebuff to President
BY GRACE BASSETT
star stan Writer

A White House recommended
ton that planning for Federal
buildings in Washington be de-
layed was rejected today by the
House Appropriations Commit
tee.
Some SIS million was written
into the General Services Ad-
ministration budget to acquire
sites and plan buildings here
and elsewhere in the Nation
President Eisenhower asked nc
money for Federal buildings.
The failure TO request Federal
building funds was in line with
an administration policy, sci
late last year. to postpone fol
at least the coming fiscal year

General Services spokesmer
said this decision would moi
prejudice future Federal con.
struction, however.
If approved by the House
the committee report would
clear the way for planning fiyI
major buildings to house abour

reduce the annual rental bill

Britain 10 Send

Sought by Irdq
U. S. Is Reported
Agreeing to Aid
To Counter Reds

LONDON. May 8 (AP).-
The British government is
going 10 send Iraq a substan-
tial number Of Jet bombers and
Centurion tanks in a desperate
effort TO keep Premier Kas-
SENS wavering neutralist re-
gime from turning to the Rus
slams for its military supplies.
an authoritative source said
today.
The informant said the
United States Government had
agreed reluctantly to the Brit
ish arms aid to Gen. Kassem,
whose government has come
increasingly under the influ-
ence of the Iraqi Communists.
A Foreign ONCE spokesman
said he could not comment on
the report Of the major policy
decision by Prime Minister
Macmillan's cabinet. But he
said a government statement
on the subject is to be made
in the House of Commons
Monday.
Supplied Arms Before
Britain, in the days Of the
monarchy it installed after
World War I in raq, tradition
ally supplied the country's
armed forces.
The Canberra bombers and
Centurion tanks are being sent
in response to a request from
Gen. Kassem, it was reported.
The British government was
said to feel that if the request
we're turned down, the Bagh-
dad authorities inevitably would
turn to the Communist coun-
tries for supplies-and that
might we'll clinch the domi-
nance of Communist influence
in Iraq.
An Iraqi military purchasing
mission is expected to visit
Britain shortly. the informant
said.
Influenced by Oil
Another major factor lead
ing to the British decision was
said to be the Iraqi govern
ment's attitude to Britain's big
oil investment in the country.
Lord Monckton. chairman OF
the Iraq Petroleum Co.. re-
turned recently from discus
sions with Iraqi leaders and
was virtually convinced the
giant oil enterprise is safe from
seizure or naturalization for
an indefinite time.
Lord Monckton and other
British oilmen repeatedly feel
that even if Iraq were to &c
Communist, the IPC - which
brings in about four-fifths OF
the Iraqi governments esti-
mated $3.50 million annual in
come - would ain I'M
touched.
Financial Aid Needed
The informant said an i'm
portant development also con-
cerned Iraq's need for financial
help.
He said Iraq recently was
asked by the Soviet Union fol
early, repayment of a big part
of the 1877 million pounds ($35s
Million economic credit il
granted Baghdad.
The KaSsem government Il
expected soon to approach IPC
for help to finance this repay.
ment, likely to be about $15(
million.
Iraq first filed a request fol
heavy ornaments from thu
British last January.
Some senior officials in Lon.
don and IN Washington were
inclined to write off Iraq as &
likely Soviet satellite.
Others took the view that thu
Iraqi armed forces represented
almost the last hope for IraC
to withstand the pressure of thu
Reds to take over power in the
country.
An important consideration il
the effect of the decision or
Iraq's neighbors, including Pres
ident Canal Abdel NasSer o.
the United Arab Republic, fot
of the Baghdad regime.
The decision may meet with
Col. Nasser's hostility at timt
when the British are tryinl
hard to restore diplomatic re,
lationS with Cairo.
