Syrians, Egyptians
Caught in Squeeze
By WILLIAM L. RYAN
Associated Press Foreign News Analyst
AMMAN, Jordan (A')--Developments in the past 24 hours here left
observers with the impression the Syrians and Egyptians are caught
in a difficult squeeze of their own regarding their intentions toward
Jordan.
As of this moment, the government seems to have the situation
fairly under control. There is no reason to believe subversive forces
intend to remain inactive for long.'The squeeze has developed this way:
The Syrians and Egyptians do not want to invite United States
military intervention here. Already there are 2,000 British parachute
"troops on hand. Any violent mani-
festation here might immediately
oinvite the Americans to come in;
King Hussein has stated he ex-
pects American help.

ADAMS:

Defended
WASHINGTON () - Sherman
Adams was oriticized yesterday for
intervening in a government con-
tract dispute last year.
He was also defended from an-
other quarter as a man of in-
tegrity.#(
The defense of President Dwight
D. Eisenhower's right-hand man
came from Secretary of Commerce
Sinclair Weeks. Weeks was the
third cabinet member to speak for
Adams since the Goldfine probe hit
the front pages.
Adams, Weeks said, has ac-
knowledged an error in judgment
in his relations with an old friend,
Bernard Goldfine, the Boston tex-
tile magnate.
For that mistake-and where is
the man who never makes a mis-
take?-he has been whip-lashed
more brutally than any man in
public life in our generation,'
Weeks said in a statement. -
A short time earlier, Roswell M.
Austin said he thought Adams
acted improperly when he made
an inquiry about a case handled
by the Armed Services Board of
Contract Appeals late in 1957.
But Austin, a retired member of
the board, added that neither
Adams nor an unidentified mem-
ber of Congress who also interested
himself in the case swayed the
board in any way.
The White House has said'
Adams merely relayed inquiries
and replies about the case, in-
volving the now defunct Raylaine
Worsteds, Inc., of Manchester,
N.H.
Debate Set

Pooley, Grad., from Great Britain.
George Abisaab, Grad., from the
United Arab Republic and Omesh
Khanna', Grad., from India, will
also be heard.

Return Note
To Soviets
Asks Khrushchev
To Complain to UN
WASHINGTON (P-The West-
ern allies drafted a note to Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev yes-
terday challenging him to com-
plain to the United Nations Se-
curity Council if he believes An-
glo-American military action en-
dangers international peace.
This was understood to be their
joint answer to Khrushchev's dra-
matic bid for an' immediate Big
Five summit conference to con-
sider the Middle East crisis.
The main line of the American-
British-French answer became
known after President Dwight D.
Eisenhower had met for 55 min-
utes with Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles. This was toward the
end of a day of intense allied dip-
lortatic activity.
Avoids Specific
The American-British-French
answer to Khrushchev was re-
ported designed to avoid any spe-
cific proposal for a summit-level
meeting even within the United
Nations.
It ruled out any thought of an
immediate heads-of-government
parley in Geneva today as
Khrushchev had proposed.
Instead, the Western allies were
reported hammering hard at these
two main points:
Can Ask UN
1) The United Nations Security
Council already is considering theI
problem of American troops in
Lebanon. Any country on this 11-
nation group has the right to ask
the Council to enlarge its work to
consider other matters if it be-
lieves a grave danger to worldI
peace exists.
This could be viewed as a chal-
lenge for Khrushchev to present
such accusations personally since
governments can be represented
at the United Nations by leaders
of even the highest rank.
2) The three Western govern-
ments are ready and willing to re-
sume confidential talks with Mos-
cow to prepare for an over-all
summit conference on the great
world issues.
Such a broad summit parley
could :nclude Middle East prob-
lemr if East-West diplomats
agreed.

The dead included three Amer-

A German, Heinrich Stempel of
Grevenbroich, Germany, was the
fourth killed.
All the victims but the four un-
accounted for apparently were
seized on the whim of the soldiers.
The soldiers did not physically
mistreat' them and even made a
half-hearted effort to save them
from the mob.
The army officers who staged
last Monday's revolution issued
orders to protect foreigners. In
mob demonstrations that followed
the army's takeover, the British
Embassy and the British Infor-
mation Service and consulate were
sacked.
Bargain Day
T To.Celebrate'
30th Birthday
Ann Arbor's 30th Annual Sum-
mer Bargain Day, sponsored by the
Retail Merchants Association, will
be held tomorrow and Thursday.
The Retail Merchants Associa-
tion, a division of the Ann Arbor
k Chamber of Commerce has given
the event a circus theme.
"Merchants are trying to key
everything to the 30th Anniver-
sary," J. B. White, chairman of
the promotional committee, said.
"Many items will purposely be put
in the 30 cent, $3 or $30 brackets."
"Crazy bargains" will be offered,
according to White. Items such as!
automobiles, televisions, electric
mixers and wedding dresses will
be offered at abnormally low
prices, such as $1Nt item for $3.
Clowns, a four-piece clown*
band, a calliope and antique cars
will tour Ann Arbor's three main
business districts in the Univer-
sity, State Street and downtown
areas.
"We feel it will be the best Bar-
gain Day, Ann Arbor has yet had,"
White said. "People are more
price and value conscious than
ever before."
Stores will be open from 9 a.m.
until 8:30 p.m. tomorrow and from
9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursday.
Calm Usual
The calm of Amman is not often
broken. When it is,. efficient gov-
ernment forces know what to do
abqut it.
The impression persists that the
Syrians and Egyptians are mark-
ing time waiting for the Iraqi
situation to Jell and be digested.
This may give this little country
sufficient breathing space to pre-
pare for the next attempts on its
sovereignty.
It is extremely difficult to dis-
cuss the situation from here for
the usual reasons attendant upon
recurrent crises in Mideast coun-
tries. But this much seems certain
-this particular crisis is going to
be long and deep, for this whole
Mideast area.
Announcement Ominous
The announcement of the visit
of Sheik Sir Abdullah As Sabbah
of Kuwaitt to Damascus to confer
with President Gamal Abdul Nas-
ser has ominous overtones.
It is most likely Sheik Abdullah
has been badly shaken by events
in the north. Inside his country,
which I visited a monthago, Nas-
ser's propaganda has been power-
ful.
The activities of Nasser support-
ers have been bearing fruit in
internal ferment. Kuwaitis are
outnumbered in their own country
by people from other Mideastern
states who imported the ferment
and passed it on to Kuwaiti youth.

BEIRUT UP) - United States
Marines joined Lebanese army
patrols yesterday with the aim of
stopping attacks on American
planes flying noncombat missions
over Lebanon.
Other top developments:
1) The United States was mak-
ing a strong diplomatic effort to
stop the Lebanese civil war
through compromise measures.
2) A United States Navy spokes-
man here said American forces in
the Mideast have "atomic capa-
bility."
Tries to Ease Impact

Washington later sought to ease
the impact of this statement, say-
ing it "cannot foresee any circum-

IIt is being financed through

Pierpont said the parking situ-

regarded as the most critical on
the campus and that the Cather-

for that reason.
As funds become q-vailable ad-
ditional parking structures are
planned for other campus areas,
he said.
Construction is scheduled to be-
gin immediately. The building
should be completed no later than
June, 1959, Pierpont indicated.

Lebanese situation.
The Leathernecks roved, with
patrols of the. Lebanese army, to
reduce rebel sniper fire on Marine
guards at strategic points as well
as on planes.
They also took over guard duty
at the British Embassy, relieving
a Lebanese detail. The patrol ac-
tion seemed likely to increase the
Marines' contact with rebel-hld
areas.
Marines Fired
The Marines sometimes had re-
turned sniper fire in the last few
days, but otherwise left counter-
acdion to the Lebanese govern-
ment's armed forces.
Rifle and machine-gun bullets
have nicked 16 American planes
since the landings last week. No
casualties have resulted. A rebel
area is in the path of planes us-

port.
Speaking of the equipment of
the American forces, the Navy
spokesman reported "all combat
units, incauding ground, air and
sea have atomic capability."
Have Atomic Weapons
The 6,300 Marines brought with
them howitzers capable of throw-
ing atomic shells about 11 miles.
The Navy spokesman did not spe-
cifically say they had atomi war-
heads, but the implication seemed
clear. The 3,100 paratroopers from
West Germany also have landed
heavy artillery.
In Paris, Soviet sources, said
there was a possibility Moscow
would send troops to adjoining
Syria if an emergency summit
conference failed to bring a Mid-
east settlement.
These informants said Moscow
believes the United States is build-
ing up a strong base in Lebanon
for an attack on Syria or the Nas-
ser-allied regime in Iraq.

National Budget Shows
Almost $3 Billion Loss
WASHINGTON (AP)-Preliminary reports yesterday showed the
national budget was in the red $2,813,000,000 at the end of the fiscal
year last June 30.
The deficit was more than five times greater than that predicted
by President Dwight D. Eisenhower last January, and was blamed
largely on the recession slump in individual and business earnings.
The figure was based on preliminary reports still subject to revision,

Officials are estimating a
budget deficit of 10 to 12 billion
dollars for the fiscal year which
began July 1.
The deficit came after two fis-

budget books were in the black.
Predicted Smaller Loss
President Eisenhower had pre-

the 1958 fiscal year, which ended
June 30, would be only 400 million
dollars.
Receipts for the fiscal year were
$69,083 million, almost two billion
dollars lower than fiscal 1957.
Budget spending during the year
was $71.9 billion, an increase .of
