The coup faced iBritain and the other members of the Baghdad Iran and turkey the question of military Intervention in Iraq, the only Arab member of the Western-sponsored alliance. The pact does not provide for automatic intervention in the event of attack or internal revolt, but diplomats in London said failure of the West to come to the aid of the legal Iraqi government almost certainly would spell the end of Western influence throughout the Urab world. The United States was no less on the Spot. Although not a mem ber of the Baghdad alliance, it supports lt and is a member of its major committees.

AUTO WORKERS AND BIG THREE RESUME TAUtS Industries Backlog Of Unsold 1938 Cars Posts Top Question.

DETROIT (AP) The United Auto Workers and the auto Industry's Big Three return to the bargaining table today. Negotiations for new contracts at Ford, General Motors and Chrysler resume In an atmosphere laden with questions, Chief among them were the continuing effect of the recession and the role to be played by the Industry's backlog of unsold 195? model cars. Presumably, the UAW and the companies were starting out virtually all over again from the point they stood at In late March when these negotiations first began. There had been no serious com cession from either side up to the time the auto contracts expired during the Memorial Day weekend. The companies have continued operations without contracts.

Today's talks followed upon an extended Fourth of July recess prior to which there had been no signs of progress toward agree' ments. Since then, however, the background has undergone some changes. The UAW has been taking a strike vote at all three companies. It reports Its rank and file has favored a strike by a 90 per cent majority-if necessary to enforce demands. The unsold car Inventory has been reduced from Its 850,000 of earlier in the year to about 70S, 000.

In the meantime, the Industry has begun Its planning for the new 1959 model cars. General Motors already has shut down its Bulck factories for the changeover, More plants will close in August and September. Last spring, when negotiations opened, the UAW was handlcaped by recession layoffs of its members and the new car backlog. Its strike weapon was In its consideratibn of any further strike plans the union doubtless will continue to watch the barometers of business conditions. As negotiations resumed, the UAW apparently still stood on Its original demands for a pay boost of 10 cents an hour, improved layoff pay benefits, Improved pensions, and other concessions.

The aerag'e auto worker pay is $2.30 an hour. MOSCOW (AP)--President Antonin Novotny of Czechoslovakia left by air for Prague today after a state visit.
