Hussein Seen in Control of Situation, Gets U.S. Arms; GOP Charges Refuted WASHINGTON — (JTA) — State Department officials said that United States arms will be shipped to Jordan as agreed because the U.S. government evaluation is that King Hussein remains in control and is not the captive of the El Fatah terrorist movement as re- ported in some dispatches from Amman. Authorities indicated that El Fatah terrorists have become heroes in the eyes of many Jor- danians and they conceded that it is more difficult for Hussein now to control their actions. Shipment of U.S. arms is still seen here as a move to strengthen the Hussein regime, promote stab- ility, and prevent a deterioration of the situation on the East Bank of the Jordan River. U.S. officials depicted recent clashes along the cease-fire line in the nature of developments that strengthened El Fatah and made control by Hus- sein more difficult. s The Department of Agriculture announced that Jordan will be sup- plied with 1,100,000 bushels of wheat or equivalent flour under the Food for Peace program. The value of the food is $2,100,000. Re- payment will be in dollars under long-term credit terms. A State Department spokes- man denied a charge by the Re- publican Coordinating Commit- tee that the administration slowed the delivery of Douglas A-4 Skyhawk military jets "by attempting to make a profit on - the sale of the Skyhawks to Israel." The committee said that follow- ing the sales agreement on a gov- ernment-to-government level, Is- rael paid the agreed price to the Naval Air Systems Command, the government agency charged with obtaining a contract from the Douglas Company, manufacturer of the Skyhawk. 4ccording to the committee, the Naval Air Systems Command nevertheless spent con- siderable time trying unsuccess- fully to force Douglas to sell the government the planes "at an especially low cost" for resale to Israel at a profit. Israel had been charged a premium price for the Skyhawks. Javits Welcomes Druze Sheikk 6 Friday, April 12, 1968 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS — McGraw Publishes Glueck's 'Jordan River' McGraw-Hill Book Co. announces the reissuance of "The River Jor- dan" by Dr. ► elson Glueck. It is a revised and updated edi- tion of Dr. Glueck's account of his explorations into the ancient world which gave so much to Western civilization. Using the Jordan as the spine of his book, Dr. Glueck takes the reader on a tour of the lands sur- rounding one of the shortest, but most important rivers of the world. The Jordan nourished Palestine and the Wilderness of Judea, Moab, Ammon and Edom, and as the reader moves south along the river he encounters nearly all of the major characters of Bible his- tory. Dr. Glueck has made full use of the to guide him to ancient sites, and he demonstrates how Biblical lore provides clues to an- cient cities long forgotten, how archaeologists use these clues, and how pottery remains unlock an- cient mysteries and fill out the Biblical records. The book is illustrated with 64 pages of photographs, showing the river and surrounding areas, the sites Nelson Glueck has uncovered and ancient artifacts.
