(b)(3),
Iras: The new Iraqi regime is consolidating its
control, crushing pockets of Communist resistance
in the army and throughout the country.
all ministries are operating normally ex-
cept for the Defense Ministry, where "numerous per-
sonnel changes are being made." Four of Qasim's
strongest military supporters, two brigadiers and
two colonels, have been executed.
The Iraqi coup has fanned instability in Syria.
New demonstrations calling for "Arab unity" have
occurred. ome Syrian Communists have been re-
ported heading for Iraq to support pro-Communist
elements ther

Nasir. Arab states.

regime is probably the first of a number of efforts
to preserve as much as possible of the highly favored
position the USSR enjoyed when Qasim was in power.
Moscow built up good relations with Qasim largely
by providing modern military equipment and by ex-
tending large industrial credits. As a demonstration
of friendship toward the new regime, the Soviets may
offer to grant new credits or to undertake further de-
velopment oroiects
