MENT-A recent United States
Court Of Claims decision holds
that retired Federal employees
hired as experts" or consult
ants" on an intermittent basis
are not actually Government
employees in their new hire.
Consequently these rehired
annuitants can draw their reg
ular compensation from their
present job plus all Of their
annulties. Previously. the
amount Of their annuity was
deducted each month from
their current paychecks.

sion will make a decision soon
on whether 1t will give Govern
ment employees the right to
cross-examine witnesses who
testify against them In adverse
personnel actions such as fir

The commission is studying
the impact of the recent Su-
preme Court opinion which up
held this right. The situation is
complicated by the fact that
the Supreme Court ruled
against the employe in the

waited too long TO ask the Air

ton the witnesses testifying
against him.
But the court left no doubt

Spanish Base
Talks Put Off
BY the Associated Press

The start Of negotiations on
a new lease for American mill
tary bases in Spain has been
postponed. the Pentagon said
YESTERDAY.
The official explanation here
is that both sides need more
time to get ready for the talks
but there Is evidently deeper
significance to the indefinite
lpostponement Of Deputy De-
fense Secretary Roswell L. Gil
Ipatric's scheduled visit to Ma
drid.
Signs point to q developing
three-way tug-of-war among
the United States Government
Spanish dictator Francisco
Franco and French President
Charles de Caulle.
At stake are three huge air.
dromes, q naval base at Rota
and communications facilities
The United States leases them
under a 10-sear agreement that
expires In September. In ex-
change, Spain has received
about SIS billion in American
economic and military assist
ance.
Mr.. Gilpatric had been
scheduled to arrive in Madrid
next Friday to discuss renewal
Of the agreement. Reports have
been circulating in the Spanish
capital for a week that the
Pentagon official has been
runningi Unto difficulties in
trying to- Set up interviews with
top Spanish officials.
Finally the United States
Embassy, reported ut appears
neither side is vet ready to
start talking" and yesterday
the Defense Department said
Mr.. Gilpatric's trip will be de-
layed for O. while "by mutual
agreement Of both countries. +"
No new date has been set, a
Pentagon spokesman said.
While Mr.. Gilpatric is calling
off the trip to Spain he will
follow through on planned con-
ferences In Rome and Bonn
with United States and foreign
officials. He leaves for Europe
today.

Radio Baghdad's announce
ment Of Gen. Kassem's execu-
tion was more specific than
several previous claims that he
had been killed. At the outset
of the revolt Friday. Baghdad
radio said the 48-year-old SOL
der had died In the bombing
of the Defense Ministry. where
he kept modest quarters.
The announcement Of the
execution said only that Gen.
Kassen1 and his three aides
were arrested by the armed
forces and military court was
set up to try them. It passed
on them the sentence that they
should die by firing squad. The
verdict was carried out at 1880
Q:30 p.m) Baghdad time"
Aides Also Executed
The three aides were identi-
fled as Col. Fadel Abass ell NAH
dawi, president Of the peoples
court; Taha Sheikh Ahmed, de-
scribed as the Communist agent,
and q 1t. Kanaan Of the mill
tary police. The broadcast also
said bodies Of two other Kas-
sem aides were found in the
ruins Of the Defense Ministry.
It identified them as Col. VAST
Taher and Brig. Abdel Kerim
el Jedda. Col. Taher was Gen.
Kassem's chief military aide
and Brig. el Jedda the chief Of
the Defense Ministry guard.
Gen. Kassem ruled Iraq In
an anti-Nasser, pro- Communist
vein since he overthrew and
executed King Faisal on July
IA, 1858.

1.-THE mad dictator has be,

over the radio after the Official
announcement. The broadcast
said Gen. Kassern, who boastec
two months ago of having es-
capped 38 attempts on his life
was tried by q military tribu-
nal and then executed with
three of his lieutenants, one oi
them a notorious Communist
agent.
Iraq's borders re m a in e q
sealed, but indications mounted
that the young pro-Nasser
army officers who toppled Gen
Kassefn's 4la-year-old regime
Friday were masters Of the
situation.
Baghdad Radio announced
the lifting from 6 am. to 5 pm
daily Of the 'round-the- clock
curfew imposed Friday. and
said Iraqi airports and trains
would resume operations dur
ing daylight hours Sunday
Schools were scheduled to open
Monday.
Arab nations quickly extended
diplomatic recognition Of the
provisional regime Of President
Abdel Salam Mohammed Aref
a staunch admirer of President
Canal Abdel Nasser Of the
United Arab Republic.
Curiously, Syria was among
the first. It's leaders had been
reported deeply concerned that
the Iraqi coup could bring only
trouble to their anti-Nasser
government.
Jordan, too, gave quick rec
ognition, even though the boost
the Iraqi revolt gives to Mr.,
Nasser's Arab unity dreams
could work against King Hus-
sein and other monarchies,
sheikdoms and Sultans in the
oil-rich Middle East. These in
clude Saudi Arabia and Iran,
where the United States has
millions invested in oil and air
bases.
Others recognizing the rebels
included Algeria. the United
Arab Republic, Yemen and Ku-
wait. The little sheikdom Of
Kuwait, with one Of the largest
oil reserves in the world, was
claimed by Gen. Kassem.
NeighbOrs on Alert
The neighboring countries Of
Jordan, Iran, Turkey and Syria
alerted their armed forces and
hurriedly checked their border
positions.
From Teheran came news
that shipment Of oil from river
ports in Iran and Iraq had been
halted.
Irsqi ship pilots said that
until necessary orders arrive
from Baghdad," they would not
take ships into the Persian Gulf
from ports on the Shaft al
Arab River. The river forms
part Of the Iran-Iraq border
near Its mouth on the Persian
Gulf.
No reason for the stoppage
was given.
The leaders Of the revolt ap-
pear to be q combination Of
anti Communist Arab Ba'ath
Socialists and Nationalists. Al
though admirers Of Mr.. Nasser,
they are believed to favor Arab
unity through q federation of
states, rather than outright
merger as Mf. Nasser attempted
with Syria n 1858.
Nevertheless, the turn of Iraq
toward Mr.. Nasser Is expected
to encourage Nasser supporters

Nasser Quits Reds
The 1858 Iraqi outburst came
at a time when Mr.. Nasser was
riding high after failure Of the

the Egyptian leader then was

The overall situation in the

much more explosive in 1858

Situation Differs
But they point out major
differences In the overall pic
ture now and the one that
prevailed In 1858 when Abdel
Karin Kassem killed King
Feisal II and took over the
premiership. Sources here say
these differences stem from
these facts:
The Feisal government was
strongly pro-Western and anti
Communists, as well as being q
foe Of Mr.. Nasser. Premier
Kassem had been pursuing a
policy Of non-alignment but
his leanings tended recently
toward the Communist side.

USDA Tells
Loan Rates For
Flue Tobacco

The U. S. Department of Ag-
rlculture has announced the
schedule of loan rates by grades
for 1868 crop flue-cured to-
bacco. The loan rates reflect an
average price support level Of
300 cents per round, which is
an increase @. one per cent over
the 1862 crop.
AS recommended by the Ma
uonal Tobacco Industry Ad-
viscry Committee, grade stand
ards and grade price supports
have been substantially revised
for the 1868 crop to reflect more
adequately current standards of
disability and desirability de-
manded by the market. Price
supports under the revised grade
Standards for high quality, ma
ture tobacco have been increas-
ed and price supports on low
qualify tobacco have been lower
ed. immature, tight and slick
grades Of tobacco viii be sup
ported from II to IA cents per
pound lower than for correspond
ing grades of mature tobacco.
Price Differential
Other grades of unripe, close
or tight leaf structure tObaccoS
also carry appropriate price diff
ferentlalS fr ON comparable
family groupings of ripe and
firm leaf structure tobaccos. In
creased price supports on the
more desirable tobacco will off
set the lower supports on low
quality tobacco. and reflect the
increase Of one per cent in the
average support level
Under the 1868 price support
schedules, a farmer who pro-
duces a quality crop equal to
the average quality of the re-
cent l0-year crops is assured an
average support of 566 cents
per pound USDA emphasizes
that under the 1868 program the
grade of tobacco and the result
ing price support level will de-
rend on the quality of the to-
bacco marketed. The response
blllty to produce quality tobacco
for a favorable price rests with
each farmer.
Discount Variety
AS III past years. growers will
offer their tobacco at auction
markets III the usual manner
and price support will be made
available through the Flue-Cured
Tobacco Cooperative Stabiliza-
ton Corporation to farmers who
comply with their farm acreage
allotmentS. As previously an
nounced, tobacco identified as
discount lie t Y" tobacco
again viii be supported at one
halt of the support rates for com
parable grades of other va
rletleS.
Experimental Prices
The Department also announc-
ed that the experimental pro- I
gram Of limited price supports

lngs, and nondeScript grades
thereof in the traditional tied
areas viii be continued during
the first seven sale days in
