met with Premier Fawzi Ell
Mulki. The government approved
Glubb Pasha's plan designed to
protect frontier villages from
further attack.
Gen. Vagn Bennike, chairman
of the mixed commission, was
expected in Amman to discuss
with the Premier the deteriora-
tion of Israel-Jordan relations.
There was no official comment
from the Israel government.
(T'he State Department said
it is very much concerned"
about the incident which it
termed the most serious of q
long series of troubles along
the borders of Israel and the
Arab states. It added that it
was attempting to get all the
facts.
CA spokesman said that Eric
Johnston, on his way to the
Middle East on a special mis-
sion for President Eisenhower,
will do what he can toward
easing Israeli-Arab tensions

brother in-law of a former
woman civilian employe at Fort
Monmouth who refused to tell
the subcommittee whether she
was a member Of the Rosenberg
spy ring. Senator Mccarthy
said he was asking the Justice

for $500 and other checks were
for $400. Some of the checks,
copies of which are in evidence,
bore the words retainer fee"
Mr.. Campbell testified that
while he believed he noticed "re-
tainer fee" on the face of some
of the checks, they did not
arouse his interest.
An. earlier witness, John G..

suggested the payments at the
rate of $400 a month could be
charged off as legal expenses.

Brokers said leading grain
elevator houses sold wheat in
