Jordan's Premier Suleiman Na
bulsi announced today be was pro
ceeding to cut bis nation free from
its long alliance with Britain and
to liquidate her military bases
there. .
The announcement to the new
Jordan Parliament in Amman
raised Western fears that the lit
tle kingdom, sliced off from Pal
estine by Britain after World War
I. was opening the doors still wid
er to Soviet penetration of the
Middle East. -
The development, together with
indications that Syria rapidly is
becoming the first Soviet satellite
in the Middle East, could extend
the Kremlin's influence all the
way to the Red Sea at Aqaba. '
Nabulsi said his government
was studying the establishment of
diplomatic, cultural and economic
relations with the Soviet Union,
and would seek financial aid from
neighboring Arab countries to re
place the annual S3 million dollar
subsidy and asistance grant from
Britain.

mats bad expected.
. The Parliament members, who
voted week ago in favor of
abrogating the British treaty and
for diplomatic relations with Rus
sia, greeted his declarations with
cheers.
The Premier said the British
French and Israeli invasions of
Egypt "show once again the his
toric fact that Israel and Im
perialism are one enemy and one
grave danger threatening the ex
istence of the Arabs.' '

.The British alliance goes back

signed in 1946 had 10 years to run. I
Under it, Britain maintained two

Negro Boys
Quit School
As Protest
CLINTON, Tenri., Nov. 27 (A
Two white boys threw eggs at
three Negro girls at integrated
Clinton High School today and two
Negro boys left 'classes after de
claring they were tired of "being
molested.
Principal D. J. Brittain Jr. said
he had warned the white students
whom he did not identify, that
they would be subject to stern dis
ciplinary action if they caused
further trouble.
"These incidents are just part
of a pattern of intimidation and
harrassment against the Negro
students that has been building up
in the school during the past three
weeks, Brittain declared.
Clintpn admitted 12 Negroes
along with 700' whites last August
to become the first state-support
ed secondary school in Tennessee
to mix the races. The U.S. Dis
trict Court at Knoxville, 20 miles
southeast of here, ordered the in
tegration following five years' liti
gation.
Brittain said the Negro girls
were not hit by the eggs.
The principal said one Negro
boy came to his office and re
ported that he had been contin
ually harassed by a small group
of white boys and was tired of
being molested."
He asked me what he should
do. I told him he should do what
ever be wanted to do. He and
another Negro boy then left .the
school."
There were approximately 4,-
100,000 babies born in the United
