Premier Ahmed ~akr and his governaent have a p parently been able to - aquash th t attempted coup d' ltat.{I The f~ting began when rebel ele■enta of the Iraqi airforc• attacked the presidential palace - with jets.

And control of the radio, say obaervera, i• eaaential - if an uprising is to succeed. So all indications point to - a reat. _,.the •bela. Tonight - a curfew in Baghdad. ~o far - no eati ■ate of casualties. The trouble in Iraq is _ generally su pp osed, by M iddle East experts, to be internal - a nd more a aatt•r ... of personalties than issues. Its immedi a te c auae - a reshuffle in remier Ahmed Basa an Baker' a government. The ruling moderate wing of the Baath p arty,which h• heads, has just ousted Deputy Premier Saleh £1 Saadi who is Iraq's strong man - and w h o heads the extre ■ i1ta. lhe aoderatea under Premier Bakr - favor a broadbased leadership, includina representation by op p osition p arties. The extremists want a single party - with no opposiq voices allowed in the govern ■ent. But both moderates and ..-ti'emiata are d idicated to • soc ialiaa and Arab unity. So the ■ ain difference in opinion i i • how to go about achie•ing this. for the moment anyway - the moderates appear to have the up p er hand.
