Seven Hours All Iraq Rebels Seize Government
Baghdad rebels spent seven hours last Monday seizing power in a coup that toppled the monarchy and installed a republic. Brig. Gen Abdel Karim el Kassim led the operation with stealth, arresting officials and assuming control while the royal palace saw a dramatic confrontation. The king Faisal II and his uncle were killed as Abdullah was dragged through the streets. Premier Nuri Said escaped, and the country began a new political era.

River Foiled Again As Skies Turn Clear
Flood warnings eased as the Kaw River crested at highs not seen since the 1950s, while the Wakarusa and Marais Des Cygnes rivers also rose. Rain totals near an inch in parts of Missouri and Kansas helped lift water levels, but a storm to the south veered east, sparing further damage. Local observers noted the Wakarusa crest near Dutton Bridge and warned that continued rain could threaten, though current readings were just below flood stage.
