Troop Moves
BAGHpAp, Iraq, july l (APl

BAGHDAD, Iraq, July / (AP)
.-Iraq denied today it had
moved troops to the border of
Kuwait.
The official Iraq news agency
said reports of troops massing
on the tense desert border were
untrue.
An official of the Foreign
Ministry declared Iraq would
pursue its claims to Kuwait by
peaceful means. Iraq claims
that Kuwait was part of Iraq
from the days of Ottoman rule
until World War I when it was
forcibly detached by Britain.
The news agency said Iraq's
troops are not massing on the
border or anywhere else. Re-
ports that they were maSSing
"are absolutely baselcss and are
circulated by foreign agencies
so imperialist quarters can fish
in troubled waters" it said.
The landing of British troops
in Kuwait. a former British
protectorate, was denounced as
evidence that the new British
Kuwaiti treaty signed last
month "is one designed to pre-
serve British protection over
Kuwait rather than grant it
independence"
The official agency said it
also was authorized to deny re-
ports there had been any Shoot
ing on the Shaft Al Arab River
between Iran and Iraq at the
head of the Persian Gulf.

Riot squads hurled tear gas

replied with stones and clubs.
At one point, a mob cut off
a police station. But riot
squads moved in quickly to
free a dozen colleagues inside.
Young Girls in Crowd
A rebel flag was run up over
a small hospital and nearby a
city bus was commandeered by
Moslems who attempted to ram
it through police lines.
One crowd of Moslems was
dotted with young girls dressed
in green pantaloons and white
blouses-the rebel colors.
The palm-lined streets of the
European sections remained
calm during the approximately
four hours of rioting in the

Neutral observers said the
demonstrations apparently were
a warmup for perhaps more

revolt for more than 6l2 years.

The Portuguese position, or
the other hand, is that their SOW
ereignty and "civilizing mis-
sion" in Africa demand no con-
cession to revolt. Premier
Salazar has said no changes will
be instituted in the empire until
that revolt is quelled.
Financial Reserves Strong
Last week the government
decreed new taxes at home on
gasoline, beer and imported lux
ury items to pay for the in
creased military build-up in An
gola.
First plans of the Kennedy
administration to use the "eco-
nomic fulcrum" to ease Portu-
guese reliance on Africa have
found little or no response in
Lisbon. American officials now
admit that Portuguese financial
reserves are stronger than they
originally thought, and that
the turmoil in Angola will not
precipitate any immediate eco
nomic crisis.
The 1ong-run effects, how
ever, cannot be ducked, they
say. Twenty-Five per cent of all
Portuguese exports go to Angola
and Mozambique, at the south
ern end of Africa, and IL per
cent of all imports come from
them.
The American Government
has broadly hinted to Mr.. Sala-
zar that it would extend large
scale economic aid to prevent
the kind of economic dislocation
Belgium suffered after giving
the congo quick independence.
The sudden and complete
reversal of Belgian colonial
policy in the Congo-the de-
cision to give rapid independ-
ence in less than a year-is the
chief hope in Washington that
the present Portuguese in
transigence may not be their
last word on Africa.
