In northern Lebanoii, an Iraqi oil pipeline was blown up. Strikes and shootings spread up and down the country. Rioters smashed through a police guard outside the U.S. Information Agency library in Beirut, hurled books and furni ture into the street and set them ablaze. Then they put the torch to the interior, A general strike brought transportation and business to a standstill yesterday. At least four other buildings were set afire. Automobiles were over• turned. Rioters and reinforced security forces exchanged fire several times at different points in the city. At least five persons—including a woman and a child—were re ported killed and 20 wounded in this fighting. The library fire was the second in Lebanon in three days. A mob supported by demonstrators with stolen 'guns destroyed a USIA li brary in Tripoli Saturday. Eleven persons were killed and /I 6 wounded in the fight ing that day with government security forces. The blasted pipeline carried oil from Iraq across Lebanon and. Syria to the Mediterranean for thel Iraq Petroleum Co. It had not been fully restored since being wrecked by the Syrian army during the Suez war in 1956. Oil circles in New York said a halt in the flow of oil through the line goirg to Tripoli would have no serious effect on the supply of oil to Europe. They said the Tripoli line was small er and not as important as the system leading to Banias. Reasons far the actions against The library and the Iraq firm were not clear. But pro-West Iraq, a member of the anti-Communist Baghdad Pact, is now merged with the Kingdom of Jordan in the Arab Federation. Nationalist Arabs detest the Baghdad Pact.
