United States
Recognizes
Iraqi Gov’t
WASHINGTON, UPV—The Uni
ted States Saturday recognized
the new revolutionary govern
ment of Iraq.
The action came three weeks
after the Iraqi government
seized power.
At that time the United States
denounced it as having gained
control through brutality and
murder.
The State Department an
nounced the recognition was
granted after assurances were
received from the new regime
through U.N. Secretary General
Dag Hammarskjold that Iraq is
bound “by the United Nations
Charter and its other international
obligations.”
Britain had recognized the
new government Friday. Other
U.S. allies had acted previously
or were expected to do so
promptly.
U.S. recognition was formally
extended when Ambassador Wal
demar J. Gallman called at the
foreign ministry of the Iraq re
public and delivered a note.
The note said the United States
accepted Iraq’s assurances that
it would live up to its interna
tional obligations and “extended
recogition to the government of
the republic of Iraq with the ex
pression of its good wishes.”
i The Iraqi ruling group seized
power July 14. The revolt set
off the general Middle East
crisis which caused President
Eisenhower to dispatch troops to
protect the pro-Western govern
ment of Lebanon and the British
to take similar action irf* Jordan.

Boling Ends Record
Flight In Oregon
PENDLETON, Ore., UP) — Vet
eran flier Marion Boling says he
never would want to re-live the
hours of his record, non-stop
' flight across the Pacific Ocean.
“This was the toughest thing
I’ve ever done,” the handsome
43-year-old Boling said after
ending the 6,979-mile flight here
Friday.
“I wouldn’t want to go back
and re-live those hours, but I
think I’ll always look back on
them as the best 48 hours of my
life,” the Palo Alto, Calif., pilot
said.
The flight had begun in Manila,
and it ended 45 hours and 42
minutes later when Boling touched
down his Beechcraft Bonanza in
brilliant sunshine here.
Boling’s flight broke the non
stop record for light planes set
in 1949 by his idol and inspira
tion—the late Capt. Bill Odom.
“Th’e original id6a must have
gone way back fo Lindenbergh,
but from the night I saw Bill
Odom take off in Honolulu I
knew I could make it someday,”
Boling said.
Boling encountered serious dif
ficulties on the flight across the
Pacific. One, he nearly had to
ditch the plane.
When Boling came into this
Eastern Oregon town for a land
ing, he was dizzy, a little sick
and nearly out of gasoline.
“I got awfully lonely at times.
It’s a lonesome thing to fly that
far in a little, tiny machine with
nothing to keep you company.”
“I thought about the wife, and
the kids, and kept looking at
that big yellow moon shining off
that cold Pacific.” -
“I didn’t have a portable radio.
I didn’t have a parachute. I left
it in Manila because it weighed
25 pounds,” he said.
Boling, however, did carry a
Bible. Did he pray? He said
“well, I’d just rather not . .
and his voice trailed off.
The most serious trouble, he
said, was encountered after he
left the Cold Bay, Alaska, 'area.
Ice began forming on the plane,
and, as he started to descend,
the craft began to lose fuel.
Finally, he dropped to 1,500 feet.
“I really thought I was going to
have to put it in the water, but
then I got out of that when it
began to rain.”

Football Players
Start Brawl In
Private Home
BLOOMINGTON, Ind., UP —
Indiana University’s football
squad, already considered one of
the weak sisters in the Big Ten
Conference, may lose three of its
most promising players if assault
and battery charges lodged
against them are substantiated in
court.
Being held in jail on charges
of assault and battery are full
back Victor Jones, 20, Clearfield,
Pa.; end Ted Aucreman, 21, Lan
caster, Ohio, and end Lloyd An
derson, 20, New Salem, Pa.
The three burly players are
accused of forcing their way in
to a private home Friday night
and starting a brawl.
LiU. coach Phil Dickens said,
“If the particulars of the incident
are as charged, there is no place
on Indiana’s football program for
such behavior.”
The occupant of the house,
Richard Head, said the players
forced their way into the dwell
ing after one of them broke out
a pane of glass in the door. Mr.
and Mrs. Head were entertaining
two other couples at the time.
Head said one of the athletes
asked if there was a partygoing
on, and when told there was no
party, replied, “we’re coming in
and clean up this place.”
Head and two of his guests
weje bruised and cut in the fight
that followed, and the wife of
one guest, an expectant mother,
collapsed in shock after calling

Army Sergeant
Killed By Unknown
Assailant In Beirut
BEIRUT, iff) — A U.S. Army
sergeant was fatally shot Friday
night by unknown assailants as
his truck was passing through
Beirut, an Army spokesman said.
Both an Army team and Leba
nese authorities were investigat
ing the shooting but there was
no immediate indication who
fired the bullet which struck
the Segreant at the base of the
throat.
He was the fifth American to
die—the first four accidentally—
since U.S. troops began landing
in Lebanon July 15 at the the
request of pro-Western President
Camille Chamoun. The S e r
geant’s name was withheld until
next of kin could be notified.
The Army spokesman gave
this account of the fatal shooting.
With two others, the sergeant
was traveling east on Beirut’s
Fouad Street, which leads to the
Lebanese security forces head
quarters.
About 1,000 yards west of the
headquarters shots rang out. The
sergeant, sitting in the front
seat, apparently/put his head out
of the window to see where the
shots were coming from and a
9 millimeter bullet struck him
at the base of the throat.
A Lebanese security force man
took the sergeant to a hospital
but he was dead on arrival.
- His three-quarter-ton truck
with trailer was being used to
move radio relay station equip
ment from North Beirut to the
airport south of the city. The
truck was hit several times, its
canvas top pierced, and two tires
punctured.
The driver apparently lost his
way and picked up the Lebanese
security man who was directing
the way.

Munition Dump
Blast Kills 50
In Brazil
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, UP>—
A big army munitions dump was
ripped Saturday by a series of
blasts. Military authorities said
the dasuality toll could not be
determined but civilian officials
said 50 persons may have been
killed.
Rescue workers were kept out
of the shattered area 18 miles
from Rio De Janeiro for fear
more artillery shells might go
off.
The War Ministry issued a
communique calling on the popu
lation to remain calm in the
wake of the shattering blasts that
spread panic over a wide area.
Artur De Vargas Jr., who was
in a housing development near
the scene, described the blasts as
“something terrifying and in
describable.”
“We got the impression it was
the end of the world,” Vargas
said, “that houses, people, every
thing would be wiped out in the
big catastrophe.”
The main blast occurred in
the Cambui munition dump in the
town of Deodoro. Two Army
regiments are stationed near the
dump.
The newspaper Diario Da Noite
quoted President Juscelino Kubit
schek as saying the Army esti
mated the damage at about IVz
million dollars.
An Army spokesman said the
explosions apparently were caused
by. spontaneous combustion and
ruled out. the possibility of sabo
tage.
