IRAQ REPLACES OIL MINISTER IN BIG GOVT SHUFFLE

  Iraqi President Saddam Hussein carried
  out his first major government shakeup in five years tonight,
  naming a new oil minister in shuffling three posts.
      One minister was dropped in the shuffle, announced in a
  presidential decree. It gave no reason for the changes in the
  government of the Arab Baath Socialist Party which has ruled
  Iraq since a revolution in 1968.
      The decree named the head of the Iraqi National Oil Company
  (INOC), Isam Abdul-Rahim al-Chalaby, to take over as oil
  minister replacing Qassem Ahmed Taqi.
      Taqi, appointed oil minister in the last significant
  government reorganization in 1982, was moved to be minister of
  heavy industries.
