anon reminded possible aggres-
sors in the Middle Bast today that

The U.S. commander. Vice
<Adm. James L. (Lord Jimi Hol-
loway, aimed his statement at no
specific nation and he emphasized
that all U.S. forces have such cap-
abilities.
But his statement took on added
significance since it was issued
through the U S. embassy here at
a time of increased saber-rattling
in Moscow and as Communist and
Egyptian-8>rinn United Arab Re-
public radios were building in-
creased tensions through a stream
of inflammatory broadcasts.
The Damascus, Cairo and Bagh-
dad radios appealed again today

sinate King Hussein and over-
throw his government.

plosions that sounded like artil-
lery was confined to the rebel-
held Bast a section near the city's
race traok.
A squad of U8. Marines was
alerted “hortiy before midnight to
rush to the British embassy. How-
ever, nothing .materialized.
Three U.S. jet planes scattered
more than one mUlion leaflets
over Lebanon today, telling the
people that 'U S. forces are here
to “help maintain Lebanese in-
dependence.”
The leaflets were printed In
Arabic and 'bore a picture of Pres-
ident Eisenhower.
Still Friends of West
Meanwhile. Iraq's revolutionary
regime was going all out to win
swift diplomatic recognition from
the West.

the safety of Western oil Instal-
lations and promised friendship

Diplomats 'believed Brig Abdul
Karim Kaxsran, premier in the
rebel Junta, might invite U.S. Mid-
east troubleshooter Robert Mur-
phy to fly from Beirut to Bagh-

lations.
The new Iraqi envoy to London
quoted Ka-ssem as saying in a ra-
dio telephone conversation from
Baghdad today:
"For God's sake, make It clear
to the West that we are stlU their
friends.”
