Iraq Asks U.S.
For Military Aid
Fears Pro-Soviet Controlled Syria;
Wants Jet Planes, Antiaircraft
WASHINGTON (P)-Iraq formally appealed yesterday for Am-
erican jet planes and antiaircraft "defensive weapons."
The request came amid reports that a group of pro-Soviet army
officers has seized virtual control of neighboring Syria.
Iraq's Ambassador Moussa Al-Shabandar asked for the arms
during a call at the State Department.

arms, taking into account the actual
-rsituation in the world," he told
a reporter afterward.
"We especially want to increase
our area of defenses and we hope
these weapons will be shipped as
quickly as possible."
State Department officials, who
had been seriously concerned over
reports of new Soviet weapons
reaching Syria, said they would
give prompt consideration to Iraq's
request.
a Weapons Sent
1An undisclosed quantity of Am-
rerican weapons, including tanks,
- artillery and light arms have been
delivered to Iraq under the 1954
1 aid agreement.
These arms were sent in order to
a help Iraq, a member of the West-
t ern Baghdad Pact, strengthen its
defense against possible aggres-
sion.
The Iraq envoy, in discussing
the new arms request, sought to
play down reports of mounting
friction between his government
and Syria.
On Sunday, Syrian army officers
and a member of the Syrian gov-
ernment charged Iraq with plot-
ting against Syria's welfare.
Reports of Friction
"We don't know exactly what is
going on in Syria," Shabandar
said. "All those reports of friction
with us-those are family troubles
and we are going to solve them
peacefully."
Any additional United States
weapons for Iraq would have to be
shipped with the understanding
they were for strictly defensive
purposes, not to be used for any
attack against either Syria or
sIsrael.

BEIRUT, Lebanon (RP) - Syria
came under bitter Turkish attack
yesterday for accepting Soviet
weapons, imposing martial law
and allegedly concentrating troops
along the border of Lebanon, a
sister state in the Arab sphere.
Radio Ankara brought into the
open charges-long circulated in
the coffee houses and market
places of the Middle East-that
Egypt is instigating large-scale
trouble sinother Arab nations with
Communist help.
Syrian Trouble
Much of that trouble has arisen
in Syria, whose 60,000-man army
fell under control of a group of
pro-Soviet officers headed by Col.
Abdul Hamid Saraj in a silent
coup the day fighting broke out in
Egypt.
Saraj is a Nationalist strong
man in the style of Egypt's Gamal
Abdel Nasser.
.The Turkish radio commentator
said investigation showed Egyp-
tian agents played a part in re-
cent disturbances in Lebanon, a
little half-Christian, half-Moslem
republic where some French and
British buildings have been the
targets of bombing attacks.
Arms Smuggled
He said arms and explosives had
been smuggled into Lebanon on
behalf of both Egypt and Syria.
In one case, he reported, bombs
were found in the car of an Egyp-
tian Embassy staff member and
an arms cache was uncovered in
the home of the car's chauffeur.
Lebanon is more Western-mind-
ed than some of the Arab nations
and has been the subject of Sy-
rian propaganda attacks almost
as vitriolic as those Syria has
leveled at Arab Iraq, a charter
member of the British-sponsored
Baghdad Pact.
A charge by a Syrian military
spokesman Friday that Iraq tried
to furnish heavy arms for a coup
aimed at overthrowing Syria's
ignoring Iraq's dismissal of the
charge as nonsense, said it was a
criminal affair.

'Typical' Weather Returns;
Snow, Slush To Remain
By ROBERT S. BALL, JR.
Snow, slush and student mutterings about "typical Ann Arbor
weather" returned to the campus with the end of the Thanksgiving
weekend.
Some students had struggled with icy roads, others had worried
through air schedules, and still others had found hours added to their
return times, so for many the beauty went unenjoyed.
Students Shuffle, Slide
To further spoil the winter, students shuffled yesterday over still-
icy walks, careful of their footing, while others forewent the use of
their bicycles. Some of the beauty was lost for them, too, especially

"The workers have to live," a
council spokesman said.
But many factories were still
r idle. This was due in some cases
to unrepaired machinery and in
others to passive worker resis-
tance.
Informed sources here put little
credence in reports- abroad about
Russian troop movements through
Hungary toward the Yugoslav bor-
der.
These sources said they had
checked earlier rumors of a move-
ment of 20 Russian divisions into
Hungary and found nothing to
substantiate them.
Deportees Returned
A number of young deportees
were reported to have been re-
turned from Uzhgorod, capital of
the Carpatho-Ukraine.
These young people told the
Budapest Workers' Council there
are about 1,500 Hungarians at
Uzhgorod.
The council is determined to de-
mand their return in its talks with
Premier Janos Kadar and with
the Soviet military command here.
Hungarians interpreted a speech
by Premier Kadar Sunday to the
members of the Budapest Work-
ers' Council as a return to the
policy of the big stick, dictated by
the Soviet military command.
Kadar Defied
But members of the council,
interviewed at their headquarters
here, defied Karad and insisted
on their original demands for the
return of Nagy now officially re-
ported "visiting in Romania," and
the withdrawal of Russian troops.
Their spokesman said the deci-
sion to resume work was unani-
mous.
Six. Indicted
By U.S. Jury
WASHINGTON (P) - A federal
grand jury yesterday indicted four
newspaper men, a television pro-
gram director and a woman h-
brarian for contempt of Congress.
All six refused to answer ques-
tions about Communist activity in
appearances before the Senate In-
ternal Security subcommittee,
Those indicted were Alden Whit-
man and Robert Shelton, copy-
readers on the New York Times;
Seymour Peck, desk man on the
Times Sunday Magazine; William
A. Price, former New York Daily
News reporter; Herman Liveright,
formerly of station WDSU-TV,
New Orleans, and Mrs. Mary
Knowles, librarian at Plymouth
Meeting, Pa.
All six based their refusals to
answer on the freedom of speech
and freedom of press guarantees
of the First Amendment to the
Constitution.

Jury Picked
For Inquest
A University professor has been
listed among the jurors for to-
morrow morning's inquest into the
death of James Lillard, 14-year-
old inmate of Washtenaw County
Juvenile Home who committeed
suicide Oct. 22.
Prof. William A. McLaughlin, of
the romance language department,
and five other local residents were
impaneled yesterday by County
Coronor Dr. Edwin C. Ganzhorn'
Last week, County Prosecuting
Attorney Edmond DeVine said 30
witnesses would be subpoenaed for
the inquest.
According to County Probate
Judge John W. Conlin, the 9 a.m.
hearing should end controversy on
the case.
Several views concerning the
manner in which Lillard commit-
ted suicide were advanced during
the past month.
Juvenile Home officials reported
they found Lillard hanging from
a sheethem suspended fromrthe
hinge of his security room door at
the home.
The state police report is closed
to the public.

when the annual snow flurries
swept into their faces.
For many, at least, it took a good
deal of esthetic fortitude to appre-
ciate the three inches of settled
snow on the ground last night.
For those curious enough to find
out the facts behind the snows, the
report at Willow Run Airport
sounded like any 11:45 p.m.

Sun To Shine
But the weatherman, having
predicted snow flurries for last
night, held out the possibility of
a let-up today, including higher
ceilings and a few scattered rays
of sun.
More snow is expected tomorrow
or Thursday, he thinks, with "some
warming" around Saturday. Temp-
eratures were expected to remain
around three degrees below the
normal range of 40 to 29 degrees
until then.

completed I can't discuss its na-
ture."
However, other officials said
they thought the agreement would
prove "satisfactory."
The New York Times reported
from Iceland that the agreement
provides for retention of United
States forces in control of the base
but under a two-country arrange-
ment that would bypass the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Meet Position
American officials said there
was no intention here to undercut
NATO.
They did say the agreement
probably would have to be couched
in some special terms to meet the
Icelandic position.
About 4,000 men make up the
United States strength at the Air
Force Base. Iceland's Foreign
Minister Emil Johnson com-
mented on a visit here in October
that Icelanders ,want to keep the
base, but to maintain it them-
selves for use in case of emergency.
Positions Open

Petitioning is now open for five
one-year positions on Joint Judic-
iary Council, Chairman Mike Mc-
Nerney, '57L, announced yesterday,
Petitioning is open to all Uni-
versity students who have at least
60 hours of college credit. Peti-
tioning will close Dec. 6.
Joint Judiciary hears cases of
University regulations violations

dividual and group, including driv-
ing and drinking -violations.

WOLVERINES 7TH IN NATION:.
Michigan Win Ends OSU Title Reign
---. By DAVE GREY
..: ,;;.; :::. .:.. ;:.:.;:'.::Dafy Sports Editor
.-Itustseemed to be "Michigan's
Day" last Saturday in Columbus.
< YzThe 1956 football season ended
on a positive note for the Wol-
verines, who added up an overall
season record of seven wins and
: two losses, a tie for second place
in the Big Ten Conference, and a
final ranking of seventh in the
nation by the AP poll.
At the same time, the walls of
Ohio State's gigantic horseshoe
v> stadium came tumbling down for
the Buckeyes and Coach Woody
Hayes.
Notable Victory
Saturday's impressive 19-0 de-
feat of Ohio State will long be
remembered by most of the chilled
82 223 fans in attendance.
For the enthusiastic Michigan
contingent of nearly 10,000 the
game brought a satisfying reversal
of last year's distasteful 17-0 de-
feat in Ann Arbor.
The game also left the impres-
sion that maybe this Michigan
= yteam was the best in the Confer-
ence. After all, Michigan State
and Ohio State had fallen, Minne-

ropean nations.
A number of the demonstrators
were refugees from Latvia, Lithu-
ania and the Ukraine.
As Kudryavtsev described it,
"Americans assured us that true
Americans had nothing whatever
to do with the hostile hoodlum
ruffianism we received at the
hands of reactionary scum from
among Displaced Persons in Den-
ver, Ann Arbor and Wichita."
Prof. Pollock, when he finished
chuckling, called the description
in Izvestia "typical Russian jour-
nalism" and said the observers
were "treated very politely."
Students 'Persistent'
The students who picketed were
"a little bit persistent, but I
wouldn't say they were impolite.
"I explained that this is a free
country and that unless what they
did was against the law they were
free to do it."
He said the Russian comments
"speak something for the selec-
tivity of their thinking" when the
demonstrations were described'and
sights such as the Rackham
Building, the law library, and the
stadium were ignored.
Prof. Pollock also suggested that
"an hour and a half seminar with
me and two other elections ex-
perts in the department" would
be something the Russians would
remember, if not report,
Single Mention
The only mention in the Izvestia
article of the elections - which
the observer team was- invited to
study-was Kudryavtsev's refer-
ence to balloting going on in a
saloon.
Accounts of the Russian article
did not specify whether the bal-
loting was for President of the
United States or Miss Rheingold.

The Egyptians have opposed the
canal-clearing operations before
British and French forces with-
draw from Egypt, and the Egyp-
tian-held southern stretch of the
waterway remains tightly plugged.
It will take months to open it.
Gen. Burns, Canadian com-
mander of the UN Emergency
'Force told a news conference he
hopes to establish his headquar-
ters near Qantara in the canal
zone "within a relatively short
time." Qantara is 35 miles south
of Port Said and close to the cease-
fire line at El Cap.
At the same time, he said, ar-
rangements had been made to
take over three camps between
Qantara and Ismailia as an as-
sembly area for the UN police
force.

The vote was 52-9 with 13 coun-
