Revolt headquarters are at Mosul: (AP Wirephoto) COPE Plans Area Rally In Phoenix WASHINGTON (Special) Top brass of organized labor's AFL- CIO Committee on Political Education yesterday announced a series of coast-to-coast meetings to rally the vote-getting machinery for 1960. The schedule includes a two-day meeting in Phoenix at which chosen labor union representatives of Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada will be present. DATES OF the three-state meeting of COPE in Phoenix are April 4 and 5.

Meeting site of the tri-state sessions in Phoenix was not announced. The COPE announcement said wives of members are especially invited in its plans to enlist more women voters in organized labor's forces for the impending presidential campaign as well as for state and city elections prior to 1960's national campaign. FIRST OF a scheduled score or more of COPE rallies is to open Wednesday in Huntington, W. for delegates from Kentucky and West Virginia. During the 1958 Arizona political campaign, in which COPE took ai active part, the appearance of a smear cartoon invoked a federal investigation.

It traced the cartoon to two labor union men, hut no responsibility was pinned on COPE. THE AFL-CIO'S political arm did admit, however, expenditure of more than $14,000 to aid in the 1958 political campaigns of Arizona's ex-Governor McFarland for the U.S. Senate, Richard Harless for governor, and Representative Udall of the state's Second Congressional District. All are Democrats. Udall was the only one elected.

The director of COPE, James L. McDevitt, said last year's union forces were so successful in the vote-getting task, resulting in a Democratic landslide for congress, that the program is being tripled this year. THE MORE elaborate set of sessions this year is a further indication of organized labor's determination to seek an even greater role and influence in city, state, and national politics. A goal of about $1 million has, been set for 1959, an off-year for major elections, to finance a tool i'lj: up of OIM 's- 'IT PREMIER ABDEL KARIM KASSEM Faces Revolt In Iraq Cancer Clue Discovered PASADENA, Calif. Discovery of a dwarf virus which could throw some light on what causes cancer was announced yesterday by the American Cancer Society.

Scientists said the discovery "may change profoundly the current concept of the structure of life's basic hereditary chemical, deoxyribose nucleic acid, also called DNA." THIS CHEMICAL, which is fibrous, is the material in genes that determines the physical and mental characteristics of all living things. Until now, scientists have considered each DNA molecule as a long, double strand of atoms. These strands are interwined, and it is believed that when a living cell divides, the two DNA strands pull apart, each serving as a template upon which a complementary strand is assembled. NOW DR. Robert L.

Sinsheimer of California Institute of Technology here has discovered the dwarf virus whose DNA does not consist of two strands, but of only one. The cancer society is interested in this because of the possibility that cancer cells originate from normal cells that have been genetically changed, that is, whose DNA has been altered somehow.

Travelers arriving in Damascus, Syria, from the Iraqi capital city of Baghdad reported rebel forces under Col. Abdel Wahab Shawaf were preparing to march on Baghdad, 200 miles away from their headquarters at Mosul. Mosul, ihe largest city in northern Iraq, lies near the Turkish and Syrian borders. The rebel radio at Mosul said "All officers of the Iraqi army" were revolting against Kassem, who Immediately ordered the arrest of Shawaf and put a $28,000 price on his head. There were unconfirmed reports that army units in Kirkuk, Iraq's main oil pumping center 150 miles north of Baghdad, had gone over to the rebels.

The rebel radio called on Kassem to resign and allow a council of state to take over. Premier Kassem appeared to be in full control in the capital. He urged loyal army men in the Mosul area to seize Shawaf, commander of the Fifth Brigade, "because of his co-operation with foreigners against the country's interests and conspiracy against the internal Iraqi republic." THE FOREIGNERS were not further identified. Kassem last December said he had smashed another foreign plot. Presumably he referred to the United Arab Republic.

The government's three man sovereignty council cashiered and stripped Shawaf of rank and command, according to a cable received through censorship from Baghdad. United Arab Republic President Gamal Abdel Nasser was in Damascus, apparently following details closely. He had everything to win if the antUNasser Baghdad government fell. (In Washington the U.S. State Department withheld formal comment on the reported revolt.

A spokesman said the department so far had received only "a very brief report" on the uprising.) The travelers arriving in Damascus reported the rebellion was winning public support in Iraq. The only report of shooting came from the Communist Party newspaper Ittihad Al Shaab in Baghdad which said that "nationalist gangs" in Mosul had killed numerous "peace partisans" Friday and Saturday. Shawaf said over the Mosul radio that the revolt was inspired by the fact that the government of Kassem, which took power after a bloody one-day revolt against the pro-Western monarchy last July 14, was deviating from Arab solidarity. The Mosul radio complained that a "group loyal to a certain political belief" was gaining power in the Kassem regime. The regime recently has allowed pro-Communists to take positions of power.

There was full censorship in Baghdad. Reports in Damascus said the rebellious Colonel Shawaf was in full control of all northern Iraq, home of the tough Kurdish tribesmen who long have been a thorn in the side of the Baghdad regime. The semi-official U.A.R. Mid- east News Agency quoted a Mosul broadcast as ordering the Iran Petroleum Co. to cease payments 'to the Baghdad government.

1 Dies, 6 Hurt In Apartment Burner Blast FAIR LAWN, N.J. (AP) An oil burner blew up late yesterday demolishing two garden apartments. One child was killed. Six persons were taken to hospitals. The dead boy was Jimmy Woodruff, 3, son of Mr.

and Mrs. James Woodruff. RESCUERS found Jimmy's body last night after sifting through the wreckage brick by brick- while floodlights illuminated the scene. The wrecked apartments were at the end of a brick, two-story unit that houses two families. It looked as if a giant mouth had chewed off the end of the building.

Only a chimney rose starkly out of the wreckage. Mrs. Warren H. Bree was changing her baby, Nancy Ann, 14 months, when she glanced ouS a window. There was a wisp of brownish smoke rising from the basement.

SHE THOUGHT little of it until there was a "terrific explosion The plaster cracked and the apartment trembled." "Run," her husband cried. A few blocks away Patrolmen Warren Steenland and Joseph Messere were on their beat. Thev came running when they heard the explosion. Steenland carried several people out. "He's a hero," said one of the men who had lived in the development.

Talks Could Ready For 'Big War' Over Berlin: McElroy WASHINGTON (UPI) Defense Secretary McElroy said yesterday the United States and its allies are doing everything necessary to prepare for a possible conflict over Berlin. But, he said, there is still a "real possibility" for a diplomatic settlement. He said again that the United States expects that any fighting which might result from the Berlin situation would be a big war and not limited conflict. McElroy said the United States would have a missile warning system set up in Greenland by the time the Russians could deliver any "sizable attack" with intercontinental rockets. HE SAID U.S.

military leaders "do not believe it makes sense" for the Russians to try an attack with only a few missiles, because whatever destruction they might cause would be answered by a devastating retaliation from the United States.

He said that while planning is going on, no decision has been made on whether Berlin should be supplied by airlift or ground in case of another blockade. ASKED IF IT were not getting rather late for planning without more concrete preparedness, McElroy said: "The things that are being done are the things which should be done:" McElroy's comments meshed with those of Army Secretary Brucker, who told another TV panel troops are combat ready and military plans available to meet any conceivable situation resulting from the Soviet threat to pull out of East Berlin May 27.

McElroy also confirmed Brucker's statement that U.S. leaders are concerned about new trouble in Formosa Strait. The defense secretary said this country was "alert" to possible new Far East tensions. McELROY repeated a statement he made last week that it would be very difficult to hold (Continued On Page 2, Col. 4) U.S.

Will Put Spy Satellite In Fall Orbit CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) The air force intends to blast nine huge camera satellites into orbit starting next fall, informed sources said yesterday. The camera satellite, weighing about a ton, will be pushed aloft by a two-stage version of the Atlas intercontinental range ballistic missile. The first attempt to shoot a camera probe from the Cape into i brief orbit around the globe expected next September, the highly placed sources said. If successful, the camera orb could produce some type of pic- ure of most of the earth's sur- ace, including Russian territory, after a number of spins around the world.

The type of camera Shotgun Blast Held Justifiable By BOB PISER A 13-YEAR-OLD Phoenix boy last night killed his father with a shotgun. His father, the boy told police, was beating his mother with a rolling pin when he fired the shot. Victim of the shooting was Robert Bryant Stewart, 41, a landscape gardener. The shooting took place in the bedroom of the boy, Bobby Clark Stewart, in the family home at 4122 N. 28th Dr.

Bobby told Police Detective Gus Oviedo his father had been beating his mother "all the time." Last night, he said, matters reached a climax. He related this story of the shooting: Stewart was beating his wife, Elgeva, 39, with a heavy rolling pin in Bobby's bedroom. Bobby took a 12 gauge shotgun off the wall and told his father to stop or he would shoot him. But Stewart kept striking his wife. BOBBY WENT to his dresser drawer, got a shell, and inserted it in the shotgun.

He put a choke on the barrel to narrow the pattern of the charge. "I didn't want my mother to get any of it," he explained to police. Bobby told one of his sisters to call police. He then shot his father in the back. Stewart, who died almost instantly, fell face up on Bobby's bed.

Three of the boy's sisters were at church at the time of the shooting. The other three, ranging in age from 2 to 8, witnessed it. Police arrived within a few minutes after Stewart was slain. BOBBY TOLD a straightforward story of the shooting. His mother corroborated his account.

Both were then taken to police headquarters for further questioning. to be used and details of its operation were not known.
