(Hip Saily ||| Collegian Cabinet in Jordan eight days ago. Foreign Minister Suleiman Na bulsi and Development Minister Amin Madjaj emerged from a long Cabinet session saying the resignation had been received and accepted by King Hussein. Street rioting, a familiar device in Jordan politics, had driven the Cabinet into urgent session. Next Step Unclear The next step in the govern ment crisis that has rocked Jor dan 13 days was not clear, al though yesterday the King said in an interview: “You will get the idea of this in the next 24 hours.” In the interview the young King dramatically hurled a chal lenge at communism and said it would be overcome in his realm. While the Cabinet met through out the night at the Philadelphia Hotel, waiting in the lobby were members of the committee repre senting all the country’s .politi cal parties that had demanded Khalidi’s Cabinet resign to make way for an all-party coalition government. Ministers Meet Again The ministers met for the sec lond time yesterday after Khalidi had visited the royal palace and talked with the King. . Khalidi was reported carrying the Cabinet’s resignation with him. When he returned to the hotel to meet again with his ministers, the ailing Premier was smiling. Observers surmised that he and the young monarch had agreed on some new scheme to end the political crisis, but there was no hint of what it might be.

USSR Accuses United States Of Using Defamation Campaign MOSCOW, April 24 (£=) The Soviet Union accused the United States today of a de famation campaign against So viet Embassy and UN officials in the United States. ■ Richard Davis, U. S. charge d’affaires, was summoned to the Foreign Ministry and handed a memorandum charging that “this impermissible campaign” was be ing fostered by “certain official American circles.” Charge Not Specific Davis told a reporter the accu sation was presented in general terms and he could not obtain any specific examples of the alleged FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE. PA.. THURSDAY MORNING. APRIL 25. 1957 Hays Asks $35,129,000 For University Biennium Sen. Jo Hays (D.-Centre-Clearfield), believing the University should have some more money to take on new projects, has asked the state Senate to appropriate $35,129,000 for the University for the next two years. This is $1,280,000 more than a bi-partisan bill introduced in- the House April 8 and $7,416,000 more than the figure recommended by Gov. George M.

Davis said the only hint he re ceived indicated the Soviet gov ernment is annoyed by news paper coverage of the expulsion recently of a Soviet Embassy em ploye in Washington.

Maneuvering for Money See Page 4 get message. Hays, in making his surprise bid for more funds for the Uni versity, emphasized that he had th- endorsement of no officials— not Republicans, Democrats, Lead er nor the University. The matter was referred promptly to the Senate Appro priations Committee. ~ • Wants More Funds „ Ha >’s senators he holds 'no pride of authorship” in the matter and would gladly support an amendment to the pending House bill to raise it from $33,- 849,000 to th' $35-million figure. He said his only reason for seeking the increase is that “the House bill makes no gesture to wards any new programs at the ?£ t l f.„ u i? iversity *” He said the $33,849,000 would have permitted the University only to meet its ' must” expenses and would not have allowed any expansion to meet the “wave of population and problems that are now and will continue to confront the Com monwealth. “It seems incredible . . . that this Senate in its deliberation will not wish to have the University tackle some new programs in 1957-59,” he said. Hays said he introduced the measure at this time because Leader has asked for a soft drink tax to pay for College scholar ships. Hays said he believes the scholarship program won’t cost as much as the tax will bring in and that the remaining money should be used to give the Uni versity the funds it needs. Precedent to Measure Hays also indicated that there would be precedent for Senate passage of his measure. “Most members will recall,” ha jsaid, "that jn the previous session, ithe Senate in its wisdom increased the amount the House bill called for the State University in the amount of one million more than requested by the then president, [Milton Eisenhower.” j “Milton Eisenhower had four [years of the Penn State presi dency behind him at that time, as well as a longer period at Kan sas State and if the Senate thought he undershot the needed amount by a million—l think (Continued on page eight) Police Search For Escapee Borough and state police ari searching for a 20-year-old Miles burg man who escaped yesterday morning from the State College borough jail.
