Allen Si. ' ' THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Premier publicly acknowledged that the government had been having a crisis, but claimed that it had ended. The announcement appeared to bear out reports that the 22- year-old King had been in volved in long struggle with the Nabulsi government to keep Jordan from divorcing herself completely from all Western influence in the name of an "Arab liberation" inspired by Egypt.
