Egypt to Get Tolls Egypt will collect all tolls, the memorandum said, and the Egyp tian government will take five per cent in royalties. The Egyptian announcement and responsible Egyptian officials insisted that the document will have the force of an international treaty registered with the United Nations.

Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Fos ter Dulles today discussed the crisis in Jordan as the eight-day old government of Premier Hus sein Khalidi resigned. They declared they regard that nation’s “independence and integ rity as vital.” Warning to Commuists Their view of the situation seemed to amount to a warning against any Communist aggres sion in that Mideast area, and came after mobs rioted in Am man, Jordan, and drove Khalidi’s Cabinet into urgent session. Resignation., of Khalidi’s gov ernment and acceptance by King Hussein was announced by two Cabinet ministers. Jordan’s yoyng King Hussein blamed his country’s troubles on “international communism and its followers” in an interview with American newsmen. Talks by Phone Eisenhower, mixing work and vacation here, talked by telephone to Dulles, who was in Washing ton. Their view that the independ ence and integrity of Jordan is vital was reported to newsmen by .White House’ press secretary James C. Hagerty. And Hagerty took pains to point out that part of the language they used was taken from the Mideast resolution which Congress re cently approved.. • Hagerty replied “Not to my knowledge” when asked whether Jordan has requested U.S. aid. Asked then whether Eisen hower or Dulles have detected “signs of Communist activities in connection with the Jordan dis pute, Hagerty said “no, I think that would be unfair to say.” Finn War Leader Makes Comeback In Socialist Party HELSINKI, Finland, April 24 (JP) Vaino Tanner, Finland’s wartime strong man made a sen sational political comeback today nosing out Premier K. A. Fager holm for leadership of the power ful Socialist party. The Russians had made it clear in advance they would be out of sympathy with the choice. In spite of such warnings, a party cau cus elected the strong-willed elder statesman by a 95-94 vote. Tanner, 76, often has been de scribed as the Finnish leader most hated by the Russians. In a trial staged on Russia’s insistence, he was sentenced after the end of World War II to 5 Vi years at hard labor as being “corresponsible” for Finland’s participation on Ger many’s side in the war. Finnish official sources said that according to Finnish prac tice it would be “l§gical” if Tan ner assumed a key position in the Finnish Cabinet. Finland is now ruled by a Socialist-Agrarian coalition Cabinet headed by Fag erholm. Tanner was premier in 1926-27.

Clark Labelled '6O Possibility WASHINGTON, April 24 (£*— Pennsylvania’s junior U.S. Sen ator, Joseph S. Clark, might as well get used to the idea that his name will be discussed for the 1960 Democratic presidential nomination, the Saturday Eve ning Post said today. The magazine said Clark still insists that he has no ambition of rising higher in the political world. However, the Post added, are two major reasons why Clark’s name will be considered for the Democratic presidential nod—he is a proven vote getter and there are few other candidates of top caliber. Clomp Suez in arbitration disputes that Senate Body Hears Story Of Blonde WASHINGTON, April 24' (JP)— i V/ith the reliability of a star wit ness at stake, the Senate Rackets Committee drew completely con tradictory stories today from a blonde prostitute and a nervous, indicted Portland, Ore., deputy sheriff. Mrs. Kathleen Lucille Cooper Weeks, a 25-year-old honey blonde in a clinging white dress, swore she signed a false affidavit hurling dope and prostitution charges at Portland Racketeer James B. (Big Jim) Elkins be cause Deputy Sheriff George Minielly threatened her. Minielly loudly denounced this turnabout testimony as "the greatest hoax'ever pushed onto the American public." A third witness, Mrs. Mary Childress, supported Mrs. Weeks’ story. Chairman John L. McClellan (D.-Ark.) referred the conflicting testimony—some of it obviously perjured—to the Justice Depart ment for ‘‘appropriate action.” "I'm getting a little tired of this committee being imposed upon by liars." he declared. Elkins gave key testimony in the committee’s public study r.t allegations that high officials of the Teamsters Union in Seattle, Wash., tried to muscle in on vice and gambling in Portland," with the help of city and county offi cials in Portland. As the chief accuser, Elkins’ credibility is im portant. Minielly said he believes Mrs. Weeks and Mrs. Childress, switched stories because Oregon’s Dept. Atty. Gen. Arthur Kaplan threatened them with perjury charges unless they did. Minielly called Kaplan ‘‘a mental case.” Immediate Approval Urged for Shortway HAZLETON, Pa..

New Pressures Mount For Big 4 Arms Talks LONDON, April 24 (>P) —Pressures were building up to night for a new Big Four summit conference on ways to halt the nuclear arms race and try to set the world on the path toward peace. Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin’s Easter letter to Prime Minister Harold Macmillan was seen as a possible prelude to a Soviet proposal for a meeting of Bulganin, Macmillan, President Dwight D. Eisenhower and French Premier Guy Mollet. The letter appeared also as a lever to move the British leader! to visit Moscow soon. The pressures, which flowed primarily out of the perils of the Middle East situation, came from some Asian members of the Brit ish Commonwealth and had the backing of influential groups in the ruling Conservative and the opposition Socialist parties in Britain.. Powers Favor Idea Several world powers were known to favor the idea because of their concern about the un remitting East-West nuclear arms race. Bulganin appealed to Macmil lan to join in patching up British- Soviet relations and building peace between East and West. Letter Perhaps Serious After a preliminary study, the Macmillan government viewed Bulganin’s letter as being partly propagandist in motive and per haps partly a serious approach for a world settlement. Some Western experts believe that* the Soviets—despite their test-blasting of five nuclear weap ons in 20 days—may be genuinely alarmed at the mounting pace of the nuclear race. The Soviets are fearful of H-bomb war, Bulganin frankly confessed. Senators Ask For Oil Inquiry HARRISBURG, April 24 UP) — Four Democratic senators tonight called for an investigation into what they said appeared to be a ‘‘price fixing conspiracy” among oil companies operating in Penn sylvania.
