STRUGGLE SEEN Death Of Abdullah Feared Omen Of Serious Trouble JERUSALEM (AP) The shots which killed Jor dan's King Abdullah echoed throughout the tense and turbu lent Middle East today. Although it was still too early to say definitely what the results of his death would be, veteran observers feared it heralded serious troubles in this portion of the globe. A dynastic struggle for succes- sion to Abdullah s throne and a renewal of the Palestine war were seen as possibilities. The drama will be played out before the eyes of Soviet Russia watching the Mid dle East cauldron from its stra tegic spot to the north. The tiny, 69-year-old Abdullah was shot by an Arab yesterday noon as he entered the mosque of Omar in the Arab-held, old city here to pray at the tomb of his father. The mosque marks the spot from which the prophet Mo hammed is said to have ascended to heaven on his white horse. Ab dullah claimed direct descent from the prophjt. Assassin Identified An official announcement iden tified the assassin, who was shot .down immediately by the kins's (bodyguards, as a 21-year-old Jeru salem Moslem tailor named Mus tapha Shukry Ashsho. The Arab News agency said he was a mem ber of the sabotage squad of an underground terrorist group called the "Sacred Struggle organ ization." Abdullah, staunch friend of Bri tain was couuted on by the West to maintain some semblance of order in the Middle East. Britain and the United States also hoped, through him, to obtain finalpeace in the Arab-Jewish quarrel over Palestine. The effect his death will have on these aims is being studied. The murdered king's personality was the force that made Jordan a strong power among Arab coun tries, even though his small coun try was so poor it depended on British subsidies to kce(? going. His desert Arab legion stood as the West's firmest friendly military unit in the entire Arab world. Crown Successor Disputed The British-run legion apparently had the situation in Transjordan under control for the present. A tug of war between British and anli - British influences ap pears imminent, however, over succession to the crown. Crown Prince Talal, 40, Abdul lah's eldest son, is in Switzer land where he went to vacation after a nervous breakdown. Arab sources describe the crown prince as strongly anti-British. He has been replaced temporarily in the ..line of succession because of his , ailment. Prince Naif, AbdullSSi's second 'jon, was named resent of the kingdom which gained its indepen dence in 1946 after being mandated to Britain since the end of World War I. Naif is described by Ara sources as strongly pro-British. Billions Recommended For Military Program WASHINGTON P The house armed services committee has approved a $5,767,0(9,000 mil itary construction program aimed at shoring up defenses at home and abroad against any Soviet ag gression. The air force gfs the'biggest share around $3,480,000,000 in cluding about $1,000,000,000 to build a chain of overseas secret bases girdling Russia.

Korea P Red Chi na's two i&mistiee negotiators took the leading role from the North Koreans for the first time at Kae song today and obtained a recess until July 25. Tt!e Chinese, hitherto staying in the background, began calling the signals after the Allies firmly re fused to include the subject of with drawing United Nations troops from Korea on the proposed agenda. An Allied staff officer said that at one point the Chinese Reds' whispered conferences interrupted a statement by North Korean Gen. Nam II, the chief Red delegate. The Communists said they wanted the recess "to enae both sides to study the proposals thus far presented." After pday's meeting Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, chief United Na tions negotiator, flew to Tokyo to confer with United Nations su preme commander Gen. Matthew B, Ridgway. Little Comment Newsmen there asked him if things were Ming all right and he replied: "I guess so." He had'j no lurther comment. Joy was accompanied by Maj. Gen. L. C. Craigie and Rear Adm. Arleigh Burke, two other mem bers of the Allied five-man nego tiating team. Craigie, in a happy mood, told the Tokyo gorrespontr?nts: "1 can't tell you anything andl wisn 1 could tell you more." The delegates will return to the Allied peace camp here on Monday. United Nations headquarters in Tokyo said in a statemiftt the U. N. command agretS to the temporary halt in inc talks "al though it sees no need for such a recess in view of the agreement reached thus far on points it con siders necessary for an agenda." At Eighth army headquarters Associated Press correspondent Nate Powlowetzky said there was speculation that Communists needed time to receive further in' structions to deal with the UN delegations adamant stand against withdrawal of foreign troops from Korea. Withdrawal Issue Today, for the first time, the United Nations command dis closed officially that the "basic" issue between the two delegations was the Communist demand for withdrawal of all foreign troops as a condition to a cease-fire. Robert Eunson, Associspd Press correspondent at the Allied peace camp here, said Adm. C. Turner Joy, senior U. N. delegate, would fly to Tokyo to confer with Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, supreme United Nations commander. Joy hoped for a quick continua tion of the talks. An official army statement said: "The senior U. N. command dele gate requested that communica tions between the two delegations be maintained in order to facili tate a meeting at an earlier date than July 25, if at all possible.''

This week at Camp Tyge, two Camp Fire Girls, exploring along the river nearby found a two-pound can of coffee, a bit battered and some of the paint knocked off, but otherwise unharmed. The coffee was sealed tight and was fresh. Chief A. L. DeMott, navy re-' cruitcr, and members of his party M.- Sgt. Ernest ,1.

But in making the treacherous trip over the steep slopes of Mt. Nebo, with only flashlights to show them the way, the can of coffee was propped. It rolled quickly down the slopes with Chief DeMott in hot pursuit, but the coffee reached the water be fore it could be retrieved. 1 The ham operators, however, went on to their posts and stayed until the emergency was over. But if the four men will call at Camp Tyee, Camp Director Lois Filzgibbons assures them the two cooks, Mrs. Kthel llec.il horn and M.

One pole supporting a 33,000-volt line was washed out yesterday. Workers on a barge cut off the pole to relieve the strain on the wires. Two more poles began to settle as the fight to save the power line continued. Army engineers still were con fident that nearly all of the major dikes on the Mississippi down stream from St. Louis would hold. Scores of workers toiled feverishly at weaker points.

I At Red Winchester Bay Policing Is Discussed What to do In regulate the peace, health and safety of the Winchester bay area was discussed at length Friday night in a meet ing at Reedsport of county, state and federal officials. While the group came to no of ficials decisions on any points, it was felt by those in attendance that a great deal was accom plished, reported Donald Kelley, representing the district attorney's office at the meeting. Kelley said that members in at tendance planned to visit the Win chester bay area at a.m. today to make an on-the-spot study of the situation there in regards to traffic and parking, sanitation and slaps to be taken in controlling boat fishing on the bay in the vicinity of the bar. The unprecedented "luck" of fishermen in being al; to easily catch their limits of Salmon in the bay has attracted thousands of persons to the rerreaton area. increasing me problem, it was pointed out. Five fishermen have perished there in the laat month. The cooperation of the coast guard, which was represented at the meeting, was asked in attempt ing to find some means of- regulat ing boat fishing, by prescribing distances for boats to go out, warn ing of dangers that might be en countered, requirement of life pre servers by fishermen, and such other means mat might apprize the fishermen of the hazards of boating near the bar. Parking and traffic around Win chester Bay was discussed at con siderable length. There are no direct policing agencies in the vi cinity of the bay. The state police and sheriff's office will attempt to work out ? solution for policing the area, said Kelley. Sanitation was discussed la brief. That cleaning of fish on the docks should not he permitted was the contention of the group. This practice has created an i nsanitary condition, it was pointed out, Kelley assured the county court that it had full authority to regu late conditions as they exist in the bay area.

An estimated 200 men, in cluding state forestry crews and logglsvs were on the fire, which spread so rapidly yesterday fight ers were unable to dig trails. District Warden Edward Schroeder of Forest Grove r e ported that the fire had quieted down some today, however after burning through felled and bucked timber during the night. The blaze was still spreading in a northerly direction and Schroeder held little hope of checking it today. m Eungart, Mason said, was to help him meet the promises he had made.

Mi Neither Party Satisfied By Much Amended Law; Solont Debate 14 Hours WASHINGTON (IP) A stripped - down economic controls bill, minus most of the added fea tures President Truman wanted, was passed by the House early today. The measure, extending wage. price ana otner controls for one year, now goes to a senate-house conference committee to iron out difference between it and an ight montns extension voted by the Senate. On the whole, the two dif fered but little Don several major poinis; none on a tew. As the house bill finally emerged. it was a patchwork of amendments which appeared to satisfy neither Democrats nor Republicana en tirely? Johnson Rapt Bill Economic Stabilizer Eric John stoa said the bill does not give consumers "the break they de served." , But administration house leaders conceded it might have been worse. In the gruelling 14-hour windup session ending early this morning, they were able to snatch at least partial victory out of a fight stud ded with defeats over the past two weeks. They knocked out an amendment freezing price and wage ceilings for 120 days at July 7 levels. They succeeded in reversing a previously - adopted requirement that price ceilings on farm and manufactured goods must reflect costs plus a "reasonable profit." Administration forces also man aged to reverse an earlier housa action which assured meat pack ers and processors a profit on ev ery animal processed. Beef Rollback Salvaged And they salvaged tho recent 10 percent rollback on live beet prices, though the House refused to grant the additional nine per cent rollbacks planned by price Stabilizer Michael V. DiSalle. On several other maior issues. the administration suffered sting ing aeteats. Amnn other things, the House torpedoed Mr. Truman's repeated pleas for livestock slaughtering quotas; denied him authority to acquire and operate defense plants or create new government coiTor- -a lions; refused him powers to li cence business or regulate com modity speculation: banned tht import of. foreign fats and oils for two years; refused to consider farm subsidies, and slapped down a request for a new formula for figuring farm parity. As finally written, the house bill eases credit controls over install ment buying of automobiles, house hold appliances and furniture, and raises rent ceilings 20 percent above the figure of 1947.
