Anti'Fbreign Riot in Iraq BAGHDAD, Iraq (A A tough new military headed government Monday dissolved all political parties, closed 12 newspapers and prohibited demonstrations in the wake of weekend rioting in which at least 11 persons were believed killed and 58 wounded. Frenzied mobs looted and set fire to office of the V. S. Information Sfrvice Sunday, stoned the British Embassy and attacked two police stations. Army troops rolled into to restore a semblance of order after rioters had driven ppllce off the streets: Armorid cars machinegun carriers (patrolled Baghdad streets Regent Abdul Hah 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. Tlien he formed a new cabinet.

After scattered disorders Saturday, trouble reached a pitch Sunday as mobs marched on the U. S. Information Service office, throwing rocks and shouting: "Down' with foreign imperialism." "Down with forged elections." The crowds smashed into the building. They dragged desks, chairs, papers, pamphlets and even stores of automobile tires and batteries into the street Und piled Uiem on a bonfire. The building caught fire several times, but office personnel took refuge behind closed doors and apparently escaped injury.

Beginning early night in the form of a heavy mist, rather than rain, the. precipitation continued throughout the night. It filled no stock ponds but the gentle downfall will be a great boon to fields seeded to wheat, or rye, to pastures and qnplowed corn fields.

It is giving Ute soil a soaking with a minimum of erosion. A week ago Allen County got a 1.37 inch shower and today's drizzle is a fine follow-up. Zimmerman and all other weather observers now hope for a real downpour of from two to three inches. Between 8 and 1 p. m.

today an additional i2 of an inch were recorded at the SCS office. This brought the total for the week-end drizzle to .80. MoKOw Hot eye ea Middle East OS IpMndt wrtlet to KNilenaaMii, pad ih oil woMid tji iriKtory expoiiofc 0.5. SR. Brealc wiHi Britain unhaoled.

Leaving the building after an hour's visit, EisWhower 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." The President-elect's appearance brought hundreds of people into corridors, and Eisenhower was roundly applauded as he walked through the various rooms. In the Security Council chambers, Eisenhower stepped up to a microphone and made a brief statement. He said: building and the people in it and their work are the symiwL of the free world's hope for peace.
