. Blames Soviets
Jordanian Crisis
u.s
For
; TGTON, April 30 (/P) — The United States, striking back at Russia, today blamed
Jordan on intervention by Soviet-controlled “international communism.”
:;man declared that since World War II the Soviet Union “has subjected 10
t idnt nations to its rule.” His implication appeared to be that the Reds have
been trying to gain domination;
of Jordan.
State Department press officer
Lincoln White made the charge of
foreign intervention at a news
conference in response to re
quests for U.S. government re
action to charges made in Mos
cow yesterday.
West Assailed
The Soviet Foreign Ministry
had . declared that the United
States was primarily responsible
for any “grave consequences”
that might arise from the Jor
danian crisis. It assailed the West
for “foreign interference” in the
Middle Fast.
King Hussein of ■ Jordan had
[declared last week that the trou-
Ibles of his country were due to
[“international communism and
its followers.” The United States
j endorsed his assertion at the time
!but today’s comments by White
[pinned the responsibility some
jwhat more directly on the Soviet

Knowland. the Senate's Re- i
publican leader, told the U.S. I
Chamber of Commerce he be- I
lieves it wou d be "unwise" for |
the government to embark on i
a 4-year pr igram of aid for j
school cons ruction such as i
Eisenhower 1 las suggested. |
Johnson, tl e Senate’s Demo-|
cratic-leader,included school aid'
among four bills he said .the Sen
ate will not take up unless or un
til ' the House acts on them. He
put civil rights, immigration and
natural ’ gas legislation—all of
which Eisenhower has favored—
in the same category.
Eisenhower asked Congress
in January to authorize a 4-year
$2,077,500,000 program to help
the stales build classrooms. He
included a $451 million item in
his budget to get the program
started in the year beginning
July 1.
Knowland said it was his ob
servation that nothing started by
Congress terminates in four years.
. “1 have never seen the federal
government contribute money
without wanting to exercise con
trol,’’ he said. “If anything should
be reserved to the states, it is
control of their educational sys
tems.”

! White declared that the records
of the United States and Russia
since World War II “speak for
themselves.” He said the United
States has "encouraged and wel
comed independence movements
which led to the creation of 19
new states in the world while the
Soviet Union has “subjected ten

“The harsh character of that

Denmark Decides
To Stay in NATO

Russia today she is staying in
NATO, considering it the only
peace-saving instrument now
available in Europe.
The Danish reply to Soviet nu

calm, firm- vein as a" note which
Norway sent to Moscow April 13.

Agreed On
By Russia
LONDON, April 30 (JP) —Russia!
offered tonight to open up part ofj
the Soviet Union to President!
Dwight D. Eisenhower’s sky pa-!
trol plan in exchange for Soviet
photo surveys of Alaska and pos
sibly all the United States westj
of the Mississippi River.
The plan was laid before the :
UN disarmament subcommittee |
and was plugged heavily by |
Moscow radio.
The U.S. delegation declined tdj
comment, and other subcommit-!
tee members reacted variously.
Some thought the Soviet plan’
slightly encouraging. Other re-!
action was unfavorable.
In Washington, White House
secretary James C. Hagerty de
clined to comment on the pro
posal.
In return for Soviet photo
reconnaissance of Alaska and
an area that might embrace
the 22 states west of the Mis
sissippi River, the Russians of
fered to open up about one
third of the Soviet Union.
The Russian area would em-[
brace eastern Siberia, an unspeci-j
fied area in Europe, the Kam-j
chatka Peninsula west of the!
Aleutian Islands, and Sakhalin,!
the big island north of Japan.
But apparently the heart of Eu
ropean Russia including Moscow
would not be included.
Diplomatic quarters calculated
the Russians wanted to photo
graph everything west of New
Orleans and including Chicago.
The great industrial regions of
the West Coast-San Diego, Los
Angeles, San Francisco and Seat
tle—would come within the orbit
of aerial inspection.

today a quick answer from the
