Four Sailors Die in New Iraq Govt. Takes Charge Following Riots BAGDHAD, Iraq (UP)—A tough new military headed government today dissolved all political parties, closed 12 newspapers and prohibited demonstrations in the wake of weekend riots in which at least 11 persons were believed killed and 58 wounded. Frenzied mobs looted and set fire to the office of the U.S. information service yesterday, stoned the British embassy and attacked two police stations. Army troops rolled into the capital to restore a semblance of order last night after rioters had driven police off the streets. Armored cars and machine-gun carriers patrolled Baghdad streets today. Regent Abdul Ilah called on his army chief of staff, Gen. Nur Aldin Mahmoud, to take charge at the height of the disorders. Hastily, the general decreed martial law and called out troops. Then he formed a new cabinet. The general took the posts of prime minister, defense minister and acting minister of interior himself. All other cabinet positions were handed to civilian nonparty men, four of them newcomers to the government. Carried over from the regime of former Premier Mustapha al Umari were the finance and social affairs ministers and Foreign Minister Madiel Jamali—now in New York as chief of the Iraq delegation to the United Nations assembly. After scattered disorders Saturday, trouble reached a pitch yesterday as mob marched on the U.S. information service office, throwing rocks and shattering windows.

Prosecution Drops Charges Against Two Bridgford Meat Theft Suspects Prosecution of Irving Schulman and Richard J. McGovern, two of the four men tried on a charge of grand theft in connection with the $17,000 Bridgford meat robbery in Anaheim last Dec. 9, was dropped last Friday. The prosecutor, Deputy District Attorney Walter Steiner, moved for dismissal of the charge against Schulman, a Los Angeles cafe operator, and McGovern, Compton taxi driver, the jury having failed to agree on their guilt or innocence. The jury acquitted the other two defendants, Jack Goldberg and Morris Goldstein, partners in the Warner Provision Co. of Pasadena, who received the stolen meat. County Planners Okay LaHabra Instrument Plant Unanimous approval was voted by the county planning commission Friday afternoon to the application of Beckman Instruments, Inc. for permit to establish its headquarters plant at Highway 101 and Ocean ave., La Habra, where 2000 persons will be employed. The application comes before the county supervisors Tuesday for final decision. Permit is asked for construction of three buildings at once, and a fourth later, on a 40-acre site, which will have extensive off-street parking, the application stated. The corporation, which manufactures scientific and industrial precision instruments, will erect an office building, manufac- The partners claimed they did not know it was stolen until it arrived at their plant and they noted that it lacked government inspection stamps. They had expected a shipment from a San Francisco plant, which they had arranged to purchase. Steiner told Judge Robert Gardner in asking dismissal of the case against Schulman and McGovern, that new charges could be filed against them in the event new evidence is discovered. Such a development might be the arrest of Roy Wiltsie, asserted leader of the gang that raided the Bridgford packing plant, tied up the watchman, Arni Eggertson, and loaded 70 sides of beef into a plant truck, which they repainted on the spot and drove away. Wiltsie is a fugitive from the grand theft charge. While the case against McGovern and Schulman was dismissed, James William Drake, 42, Bridgford plant engineer who admitted participation in the raid and turned state's evidence against the others, last Friday was given a suspended prison sentence of from one to 10 years. Drake, according to his attorney, M. S. Bernard, had been deeply in debt because of his wife's illness and was induced to take part in the packing plant raid for that reason. The court ordered him to repay the Bridgford company $1150, which he received from the meat theft. Man Tells of Being Robbed By 5 Marines Charles Wyatt Malcom, of San Rose Abbey mausoleum.

Man Tells of Being Robbed By 5 Marines Charles Wyatt Malcom, of San Clemente, related to Santa Ana police an account of his asserted strong-arm robbery by five uniformed Marines whom he met in a San Clemente cafe late Saturday night, but police could not confirm his story. The bartender at the Travel Inn cafe, 106 N. El Camino Real, San Clemente, could not recall Malcom having been there, and was certain that no group of five Marines had been in the cafe Saturday evening. Malcom could give no description of them beyond their uniforms. But he said that they had asked him to take them for a ride in his car, and he had agreed. One of the Marines drove the car. In the 1700 block of Jefferson pl., Santa Ana, the car appeared to stall. When Malcom got out to investigate, he was knocked unconscious. When he awoke, his wallet was missing. He walked to a nearby residence, and from there was taken to the county hospital for treatment of a cut on the head, a cut lip, and bruised cheek. Police found the car abandoned at the Jefferson pl. address. An empty wallet was found on the front seat. Malcom said it had contained $15.

Y. (P)—The most serious diplomatic rift between Britain and the U. S. in years continued unabated today despite efforts by India and other countries to close the breach. Day-long harmony moves were expected, but diplomats held little hope for them. The two great allies split far apart when the U. S. notified British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden that it could not accept a British-backed Indian compromise plan for ending the Korean prisoner of war deadlock unless the proposals should be given a chance as they stand, but the U. S. wants all details. Four New Polio Cases Reported Four new cases of polio reported in Orange county over the week-end, sent the year's total of the dread disease soaring to a new high of 172 cases to date, it was reported by Dr. spelled out. India came up quickly with modifications but these apparently did not satisfy the U. S. The 21 powers which backed an original American resolution held an urgent closed meeting last night at which U. S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson detailed the American objections to the Indian proposals. The 21 apparently failed to find a position which would please both Britain and the U. S. Feelings at the meeting were tense and afterwards press officials of the British and American delegations were not even polite to one another—highly unusual in diplomatic circles. Eden stayed away from the meeting but sent his top assistant, Minister of State Selwyn Lloyd. A spokesman said Eden had a "longstanding social engagement," but he went mum when reminded that Eden didn't make up his mind to stay here until last Friday and therefore it was unlikely that he had a New York Four New Polio Cases Reported Four new cases of polio reported in Orange county over the week-end, sent the year's total of the dread disease soaring to a new high of 172 cases to date.

Eisenhower visited the United Nations today and conferred privately with U.N. officials, presumably about proposals to end the Korean fighting.

Leaving the U.N. building after an hour's visit, Eisenhower thanked Lie and Pearson, and said: "It was inspiring to be here. This is a work devoted to a good cause. We are all working for the freedom and the security of the future." In the main assembly, hall, Eisenhower shook hands with Dr. Ralph Bunche, director of the U.N. Trusteeship Division. He asked Bunche: "Who are you working for, the United States or the U.N.?" "I'm with the U.N," Bunche replied. "How in hell can the U.S. afford not to have you working for us?" Eisenhower asked, smiling.

Tune in on God REV. HOWARD S. CONGDON First Presbyterian Church The incredible television has become a dominant factor in our society. Through it the people of America have brought together in a neighborhood conversation in our homes. Through simple faith, in both the telecasting and receiving instruments, we accept TV as a fact. But let one suggest we can tune in on God! Men will raise their intellectual eyebrows and neighbors will suggest he see a psychiatrist. Nevertheless, the plain fact is that he has been heard and heeded by many. Guided by his voice alone, they have been led out of despair, frustration, cynicism and defeat. He is heard, however, only by those who have complete faith in him and confidence in themselves as instruments of reception.
