New Jordan Head
In Solid Control
AMMAN, Jordan, (A 5 )—Jordan’s
' n<3w government, which is expected
to turn this Middle Eastern king
dom aside from its drift toward
the Arab pro-Soviet camp, appear
ed to be in solid control yesterday.
Tough Bedouin troops and secu
rity police, who supported 21-
year-old King Hussein when he
placed his crown on the line at
the height of Jordan’s six-day po
litical crisis, maintained strict or
der.
All was quiet except in Jordan-
held Old Jerusalem and Nablus,
where minor demonstrations were
reported. A few persons were in
jured in Jenisalem where some
Leftist students staged a parade
and were attacked by members of
the Moslem Brotherhood.
The new government of Premier
Hussein Fakhri Khalidi, which
took office Monday, is expected

to carry out a swift cleanup of
pro-Communist elements who hdd
infiltrated the government, schools
and army during the . regime of
ex-Premier Suleiman Nabulsi.
Amman sympathizers of the el
ements expected to be purged have
been warned not to start any
disturbances.
One sign of the drift in future
affairs may be seen in whether
King Hussein now issues a firm
invitation to James P. Richards,
President Eisenhower’s Special
envoy who is in the Middle East
explaining the President’s plans
for military and economic assist
ance to governments which op
pose communism. The new re
gime’s fate may depend largely on
the outside economic aid it re
ceives.
Nabulsi, who is foreign minister
in the new government, had not
issued such an invitation. VvTiile
premier he declared he would not
sign any agreement for U. S. aid
if he had to commit himself to
fighting communism. His govern-,
ment aso had started proceedings
to engage in full diplomatic rela
tions with Moscow, something Jor
dan never has done before.
Nabuli’s policy seemed to con
tradict the King’s demands that
the government fight Communist
propaganda and subversion. Hus
sein requested and got the resig
nation of Nabulsi’s Cabinet, which
included a Communist and a Left
ist sympathizer.
Range & Forestry
Has Picnic Outing
Hot barbecue, ranch style beans
and cold weather was the menu
for the Range and Forestry Club’s
annual picnic held last Saturday
at the club’s own picnic area lo
cated near Easterwood Field.
Despite the cold weather, enough
students showed up in time for a
lively volleyball game and several
horseshoe matches, though the
cold put the damper on most of
the “Range Olympic” sports sche
duled for the day.
The meal was served after
short business meeting, with Pres
ident Curtis Schulze, in charge.
About 60 persons, including club
and faculty members, wives and
dates attended .
Sixty-one centenarians in the
United States are now receiving
Social Security payments.

WASHINGTON OP) — Senate
rackets investigators yesterday un
folded a story of dynamiting,
threats, beatings and use of im
ported armed “goons” to enforce
the will of union officials in the
Scranton, Pa., area.
Arnold Schiavi, owner of a
bakery, related to the senators
that “very foul language” tele
phone calls to him and his wife
during a drive by the Teamsters
Union to organize his truck driv
ers even included the implied

threat that his children would be
run down by automobiles unless
he knuckled under.
The names coming into the
hearing were chiefly those of
union officials-these were not con
fined to the Teamsters Union-
but there was brief mention of
James T. Hanlon, Democratic
mayor of Scranton.
Paul Bradshaw, a convicted
dynamiter and former steward of
the Scranton Teamsters local, tes
tified that Hanlon asked him to
“hold off” disclosures about other
union officials until after an elec
tion.
The senators did not immedi
ately develop detailed testimony
about this or even bring out what
election Bradshaw referred to.
Bradshaw later told reporters
the reference was to the 1965
spring primary election. He said
Hanlon wasn’t up for election him
self then, having been elected in
1953 for a four-year term.
