U S Signals Wide Aid To Baghdad Pact Members
The United States gave evidence of broad support for the Baghdad Pact in the Middle East while not joining the alliance. It reaffirmed backing for Pakistan, Iraq, Turkey, Iran, and Britain to reassure Iraq and warn the Soviet Union. Iraq’s non participation in Britain council meetings limits its active involvement. A State Department official warned that any threat to pact members’ territorial integrity would be treated gravely, with Syria's pro Soviet officers blamed for destabilizing Iraqi rule under Prime Minister Nuri Said.

Move to Ease European Fuel Shortage U S Oil Aid Program Goes Into Effect
The United States ordered into effect an emergency program to supply Western Europe with up to 1,100,000 barrels of oil daily. Mobilization Director Arthur Flemming asked Interior Secretary Seaton to activate the Middle East Emergency Committee of 15 oil companies to coordinate production, distribution, and tanker facilities. The move aims to ease the European petroleum crisis amid canal and pipeline disruptions, while Western Hemisphere supplies face strain and no U.S. rationing is planned. The action follows talks with Secretary Dulles, Acting Sec. Hoover Jr., and the President to ensure cooperation within antitrust constraints. Financing by European buyers was not clarified.
