direct dialing from Medford to
Ashland, Central Point, Gold

action that would worsen the
situation in Jordan, it was dis
closed today.
State Department Press Offi
cer Lincoln White said the U.S.
position that Jordan's independ

has been made "abundantly
clear" to countries in the Mid

White, also told a spews con

Situation Better
The situation in Jordan "if
anything, is perhaps a little bet
ter today than yesterday."
King Hussein of Jordan has
not asked the U.S. for assistance
during the present emergency
in his country.
White said the U.S. is in
"daily contact" with Middle East
countries.
He said this government's po

year 1957-58.
The proposed budget shows
an increase of $103,807 more
than this year's $618,158 general

than the amount allowable under
the 6 per cent limitation.
Included in the budget are

vember approved bond issues
for improvements in the arterial
street program, storm sewers

Treasury Secretary
Hints at Resignation
Washington (U.R Treasury
Secretary George M. Humphrey
hinted strongly today that he in
tends to resign soon from Presi

Rumors of Humphrey's pos

Congress to make drastic cuts in
the President's $71,800,000,000
budget for fiscal 1958.

Hussein Appears
Victor in Latest
Political Battle
Leftist Dissidents
Rounded Up by Army
By UNITED PRESS
King Hussein emerged from
48 hours of crisis today, the
clear victor in the latest round
of his battle to steer Jordan
from Communism into a path
of moderation.
His army held the nation in
the iron grip of martial law and
was reported rounding up hun
dreds of leftist dissidents.
Ousted Premier Hunted
Ousted former Premier Sulei
man Nabulsi was declared to
be a "fugitive" and was being
hunted by security forces.,
"We are looking for Nabulsi,"
a Jordanian governmen spokes
man said. "
Reports reaching Beirut, Leba
non, said Nabulsi already was
under arrest along with a num
ber of other leftist leaders and
dissident army officers. The re
ports said "several hundred"'
persons were arrested.
However, the general outlook
appeared to be improving inside
and outside of Jordan where
things were calm on this Moslem
sabbath.
Government officials in Am
man were reported expressing
more confidence that the pres
ent crisis is just about over. The
feeling in government and diplo
matic circles was that the harsh
propaganda of the past few days
from other Arab countries, not
ably from Cairo's Voice of the
Arabs, is now on the wane.
Fleet Has Calming Effect
The decision by the United
States to speed the Sixth Fleet
into the Eastern Mediterranean
in a forceful show of the flag
apparently has had a calming
effect on the entire Mid-East.
Fleet units rendezvoused off
the Italian coast for their move
in the far end of the Mediter
ranean, and their arrival in the
Jordan area was awaited with
confidence.
