Unrest Wave Sweeps Iraq

TEHRAN, Iran (AP)—A wave of grave unrest and opposition to the regime of Premier Abdel Ka-

~ rem is sweeping farmers and tribesmen of southern Iraq, ac- cording to reports received here Sunday from points along the Iranian-Iraqi frontier.

One said the opposition is verg- ing on open revolt, with tribes- men helping to arm other civil- jans for an eventual uprising.

These reports were attributed to tradesmen and ‘merchants who crossed the border from Basra,

* in Iraq, to buy Iranian farm pro- duce for sale in Iraqi markets.

Nixon Seen

By ERNEST B. VACCARO WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice- Prusident Richard Nixon, the Re- publican presidential nomination ae in his grasp, stood aloof Sunday from mounting specula- tion over his likely running mate in the 1960 elections. ixon appeared aware that; major unforeseeable ob- stacle upset his chances| now tha) his chief potential rival has wi wn from the race for the presidency. New York Rockefeller’s, sudden and _ sur- prise announcement that he will not run left Nixon alone in the! , and there appeared slim) ihood that anyone else might step in.

‘While others speculated on a Republican vice - presidential nominee, Nixon refused to be) drawn into making a choice.

TOO EARLY TO SAY

He told reporters it is too early for him to discuss a running mate or, for that matter, to make an announcement on his own behalf.

With everything going his way, Nixon appeared to feel there is nothing to gsin by speeding up) ap announcement of his own candida cy. “My plans have always been) made,” he said ‘in-reply to ques-| tions, “independently of w hat! other people- might say or do.” -As vice - presidential specula- | tion ranged over such Republican |

BALTIMORE (AP)—“Their de-| fense made all their points for them, not the offense,”” New York) Giants coach Jim Lee Howell said after his Eastern Conference Champions were handed a 31-16) beafing by the Baltimore Colts! fer the National Football League title,

“Both defenses were better than the offensive teams,’ Howell | added,“‘and_I- thought ours did a terrific job in containing Johnny Unitas until that last period.”

Unitas sparked the Colts to a 24 - point fourth quarter after his team trailed 9-7.

Howell said the turning point definitely was the Giants failure to make a first down with a yard to go and the ball on the Colts 26 in the third period.

NEVER STOPPED TRYING

“The team seemed to go down a bit after that, thouch they never once stopped trying,” he | said.

Howell paid glowing tribute to offensive end Bob Schnelker and defensive ha!iback D ck © Lynch | Schnelker caught three passes for | 64 yards and Lynch helped hold ;Colis end Ray Berry to 45 yards | and three receptions. Berry led }the NFL in pass receptions and yardage during the season.

Howell also said the loss of end Kyle Rote by a slight concussion in the first period hurt the Giants,
