THIRTEEN IRAQI POLITICAL PRISONERS, including form-
er Chief of Staff Gen. Ibrahim Feisal al Ansari, have been re-
leased, the government announced yesterday.
The act was seen as a move to placate opposition and -form a
national political front. Informed sources said about 50 other prisoners
not named in the list were freed earlier. Former Prime Minister Abdel
Rahman Bazzar was among them.
Ansari was arrested in 1968. S i a d i a h Jabr, daughter of a
former prime minister, also was freed. She was jailed in January
on charges of conspiracy against the ruling National Revolutionary
Command Council.
WEST GERMANY and communist Poland announced early
yesterday they had agreed on a draft treaty to normalize rela-
tions after 21 years of enmity.
A West German press spokesman told newsmen after the nego-
tiating teams had met for a marathon five hours that the treaty would
be initialled Nov. 18.
Negotiating teams headed by West German Foreign Minister
Walter Scheel and his Polish counterpart, Stefan Jedrychowsk, met
into the early hours in the final session of the present round of talks
that lasted 11 days.
Sources close to the talks said it was agreed that the treaty text,
will be published at the time of signing - not at the initialing cere-
mony.
Scheel will initial the treaty for West Germany but the signing
is expected to be carried out by Chancellor Willy Brandt, since
the Poles have made it known they would like to see him in Warsaw.
The sources stressed there was no difference of opinion on the
treaty between Bonn and its allies.

Finding fault with t h e Bayh
substitute Thursday were officials
from the National Woman's Party,
the National Organization for
Women, t h e President's Task
Force on Women's Rights and Re-
sponsibilities.
Bayh originahy led what ap-
peared to be an easy fight to pass
the House version, but many of
t h e 80 other senators officially
listed as sponsors of the measure
had second thoughts.
When it became obvious it
could not pass the Senate - as it
had twice before in years when
the House balked - Bayh set out
to find a compromise.
The Bayh substitute is the first.
order of business for a returning
Senate this week, but it appar-
ently will be removed from the
calendar without protest.
The original version of the
amendment reads simply that
"equality of rights under the law
shall not be denied or abridged
by the United States or any state
on account of sex."
Bayh's proposal calls instead
for extending the 14th Amend-
ment's equal protection clause to
sex discrimination cases, but also
would "recognize the need for a
flexible standard in cases where
differen t threatment under the
law may be justified."
Women's groups object the ad-
ded language would prove an ex-
cuse to continue discriminatory
practices, particularly in employ-
ment.
The original version was intro-
duced 47 y e a r s ago. In recent
times, it was mostly the hostility
of Judiciary Committee chairman
Emanuel Celler (D-N.Y.), that
prevented it from reaching the
full House until this summer.
Rep. Martha Griffiths (D-
Mich.), won support of two-thirds
of her colleagues to force Celler's

posed amendement for the victor-

Syria cup
puts Assad
"
n power
DAMASCUS DP - Syria's
eighth coup in 24 years of in-
dependence w a s described
here yesterday as a battle for
internal political survival by
groups of the 'Baath Socialist
party, with foreign policies
not an immediate factor.
The winner was Gen. Hafez al
Assad, the defense minister and
chief of the Soviet-equipped Syr-
ian air force. The losers were Gen.
Salah Jadid, leader of the party,
President Noureddin Atassi and
former Premier Youssef Zayyen,
all Marxists.
Diplomats said it was not clear
if the potmidnight coup had
anything to do with the defeat
handed Syria's tank forces in Jor-
dan's civil war in September. It
is known that Assad refused to
provide air support for the tanks
lest Israel's jets launch retalia-
tory strikes.
Assad was described as a mod-
erate. Arab diplomats said that
while the basic cause of the coup
was internal politics there was a
possibility that Syria now-would
abandon its go-it-alone attitude
in the fight against Israel and
cooperate more closely with the
rest of the Arab world.
Syria refused to sign the U.S.-
initiated Middle E a s t cease-fire
last August along with Egypt an
Jordan.
Unlike the previous coups and
the dozen minor revolts in Syria
since it gained independence from
France in 1946, this government
turnover lacked t h e usual tank
rumblings in the streets and the
presence of military power.
In fact, most inhabitants of La-
mascus awoke yesterday morning
unaware that Assad had seized
power and that the old leaders
were in jail.
In its broadcasts, Radio Da-
mascus made no mention of the
coup.
The capital was calm. Shoppers
thronged the bazaars as usual and
government ministries were open
for business.
According to the Arab UIplo-
mats, Assad and his followers
surprised Atassi, Jadid and Zay-
yen at their homes late Friday,
the Moslem sabbath.
Although Jadid was listed only
as assistant secretary-general of
the party, he has the power be-
hind the regime.
The diplomats said Assad's move
was not an immediate attempt to
make radical changes in Syria's
policy.
"Jadid tried to drum Assad out
of the party by removing him as
defense minister," one diplomatic
informant said. "Assad simply
moved first to assert his authority
once and for all."
Assad is on record in the past of
protesting Syria's dependence on
the Soviet Union for military aid.
But informants in Damascus dis-
counted suggestions t h a t Assad
might curtail the activities of So-
viet military advisers in Syria or
weaken links with Moscow.
"The Soviet Union supplies all
of Syria's weapons and much o
its ammunition," onediplomat
said. "Assad needs a strong arm~
my and the army cannot be strong
without Russian support."
