Syrian Army Takes Over Government
U. P. Foreign Roundup
The Syrian army took over the government of Syria today after an overnight coup deposed President Shukri Al-Kowatiy's regime, established an anti-Zionist Junta and dashed hopes for peace with Israel.
The upheaval came just a few hours after U.S. marine Brig. Gen. William Riley and another United Nation's official arrived in Damascus to set the stage for armistice negotiations between Syria and Israel.
As peace again became a question mark in the seething Middle East, there was talk of another kind of "peace" in the cold war between East and West.
Syrian army leaders were known, to oppose the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine. The Junta told the people of Syria that it would be "most loyal in our ardor to the nation and to the Arab cause."
Russia's appointment of Vassily D. Sokolovsky as new military governor and commander for Germany touched off renewed speculation that the Soviets were ready another "peace offensive," perhaps including the lifting of the Berlin blockade.
The shift, coming as it did on the heels of a shake-up in the entire Soviet hierarchy, left western observers puzzled. Many of them predicted an end of the blockade; the most realistic of them warned against another Russian "peace offensive" designed to woo Germans with propaganda to the Communist cause of a "unified Germany"—unified under Communist rule.
Other Foreign News:
Oslo: Parliament approved Norwegian participation in the Atlantic pact and ratified the pact itself.
London: Britain, France and the United States were reported on the verge of settling their dispute over the future of German industry.
