chionq's Troops on Isle Trade Epithets
With Communists 1000 Yards Away
CONSTANTINE BROWN

The artillery is we'll camou-

have been constructed deep
under the rocks of the island.

mingle with the farmers tend

cabbage patches.

Many Of the new inhabi-

the garrison. are evacuees
from the Taschen Islands.
They have become self-suf-
ficient insofar as essential
foodstuffs are concerned.
The general who met our
sightseeing group told us that
for several weeks there had not
been any firing from the main
land except for an occasional
one or two rounds.
He also told us that al
though there are a number Of
modern airf1elds on the main
land capable of holding the
latest Soviet-made jet bomb
ers, none is in that area yet.
Our party arrived at the end
of an important ceremony.
The troops had been mustered
on the parade ground by units,
and were presented with legal
titles to land in the various
provinces of the mainland
whence they had come.
The psychological effect on
the troops was great indeed.
At no time in the past have
they had legal title to their
possessions. And it's all signed
and sealed. 1t is up to them to
have it delivered.
We saw the modern hos
pitals. one for civilians and
one for the military, well
stated with physicians, sur
geons and nurses. We also
were shown the new high
school and the newly erected
Christian chapel.
On the shore directly facing
the mainland, 1000 yards
away. rises a huge rock. 1t is
here that the daily sport of
the soldiers is held. The game
is to shout insults, with the
help of a megaphone, to the
Red soldiers on the other side.
Naturally the insults are reci-

Syrian forces combined without
much difficulty.
Israel is understood to have
modified from 10000 to 200, 900
troops with only a small part of
these used in the apparently sue
cessful attack against Egyptian
positions in the Sinai desert.
Syria is reported to have about
50,000-man army. only half of
which is considered effective.
Iraq's armed forces total about
5000 but it is believed that only
one or two divisions of this have
moved into Jordan.
The once-famed Arab Legion.
10000 strong. makes up the heart
of Jordan'S army of some 10000.
The morale and fighting capacity
of the Legion, however, is be-
lieved to have been seriously i'm
paired ever since British officers
who developed and trained the
force left the country.
American authorities expect
that any attack Israel launches
woulo drive only into the bulge
on Israels southeastern border
up to the west bank of the Jordan
river. Israeli forces, it is believed
would stop there because the
river banks would provide a
splendid defensive position.

Arobs Strike at Allies
By Blowing Up Oil Lines

In Baghdad. an Iraqi gov
eminent spokesman confirmed
that the flow of Iraqi oil had
stopped from the Kirkuk fields
for the time being"
Two days ago Cairo radio
called on Arabs to cut supplies
of oil to the British "even if it
means blowing up every pipeline
in the Arab world"
Cairo radio since has been 81
fenced by British bombs.
Last August 10 the interna-
tional Arab workers syndicate
meeting in Cairo adopted resolu-
tons urging blasting of pipelines
and military installations If
Britain and France used force
against Egypt.
Iraq Petroleum Co. owns not
only the pipeline but also the
concessions to Iraq's big north
Iern oil fields. The company, in
turn, is owned by British, Amer
Iican and international oil in
terests and the French govern
ment.
The Iraq fields last year pro-
duced a fifth of all Middle East
ern oil. The pipeline running
from the landlocked Iraq fields
near Kirkuk to Banias in Syria
on the Mediterranean coast car
ried most of it to market.

|0fficia|s Fear
.Attackon Jordan
BY the Associated Press

Top officials are reported
gravely worried today over the
prospect that Israel might sud-
denly attack Jordan.
These officials believed the Is
Iraeli cabinet was in special ses-
sion to consider such an assault
on the grounds that Iraq and
Syrian troop movements into
Jordan imperiled Israel's secur-
ity.
Diplomatic reports to the
Eisenhower administration have
confirmed Iraq troop movements
into Jordan. Reports of Syrian
forces also entering the country
are less firm, they said.
These authorities said, how
ever. that the crossing of Iraq
forces alone into Jordan could
offer Israel the excuse needed to
launch an attack which long has
been rumored in the making.
Israel's modern and we'll
equipped army, it is believed,
could defeat the Jordan, Iraq and

He aimed other sections of his
speech at university students. He
told them the government is
willing to discuss their demands
that compulsory instruction in
Communist theory and the Rus
sian language be dropped.
The East German cabinet is

Premier Otto Grotewohl's decla-
ration that the presence of Soviet
troops-estimated at 100000 men
in East Germany sis a neces-
sary measure to safeguard the
security of the German people

The statement said Soviet
forces could be pulled out of
East Germany only if Britain,
France, Russia and the United
States agree on withdrawal of all
foreign troops from Germany.
After Mr.. Ulbricht spoke, the

Capital Items
Capital outlay foreseen fol
1853 amounts to $1,120,000. It
would provide 100000 for plans
and specifications for the new
West Municipal Center Building
at Sixth and c streets NV,
$6S0,000 for construction of q

ter at 1900 Adams place NE,

IingS.
However, compensation and
retirement fund expenses raised
that budget request from Sill
million to $12.598,000. Most of
the increase was attributed to
the $1,375,50O more the District
is expected to contribute as an
employer to the civil service re-
tlrement and disability fund.
Operating expenses asked by
the Office of the Surveyor were
$4,000, the same amount
granted in fiscal 1857.
The Commissioners noted that
their job-safety campaign had
resulted in cutting in half the
request for compensation in fiscal
1858. They seek $4,000 in the
coming budget, as compared to
$26O,00O needed last year.
