2Days in!-Post,
Jordan Chief
Of Staff Quits
Phones From Syria.
Which Reports He
Requests Asylum

AMMAN, Jordan, April 20 up
Maj. Gen. Ali Hayari resigned
today-via a telephone call from
Syria-as the new chief of stafi
of Jordan's army. The political
crisis King Hussein had battled
for a week took a new turn
perhaps for the worse.
Gen. Hayari, described by his
friends as a career soldier with
little interest in politics, took
over the top army job only
Thursday, and apparently firmed
up King Hussein's control over
the FESTIVE kingdom. He re-
placed Mai. Gen. Ali Abu Nu-
war, a pro-Egyptian soldier
politician who was driven from
the country to Syria last week
Several high officers accom-
panied Gen. Nuwar.
Yesterday the new chief OF
staff was sent to Damascus to
ask Syrian authorities to ex-
tradite a group of the Jordanian
dissidents. But an official spokes-
man reported that, on arrival
Gen. Hayari telephoned his
father-in-law. Sedky ell Kassem
to present his resignation to the
government.
Asylum Plea Reported
Reports from Damascus said
Gen. .Hayari had asked political
asylum in Syria. which gets arms
from Soviet Russia. and that q
number of other free officers
of the Jordanian Army had
joined him in the Syrian capital
Usually reliable informants
said Gen. Hayari's job probably
will go to Gen. Habes Majali Oh
Gen. Sadek Shareh. both now
deputy chiefs of staff.
Gen. Hayari, a tough-mindec
Soldiers soldier" had been ex-
pected to end the drift toward
the pro Egyptian nationalism
that had been so marked in the
army during Gen. Nuwar's term
of office. His appointment had
been interpreted by many to
mean that King Hussein had
frightened his grip on the army
by setting UP a command whose
loyalty to the palace could not
be doubted.
Gen Hayari comes from the
same town as Gen. Nuwar-Sult
and was long q friend Of many
officers involved in recent trou-
bles.
Some speculated that Gen.
Hayari had baked at taking
tough measures against his for
mer comrades. and so stepped
down.

Suspension
Is Defied by
Union Chief
BY CECIL HOLLAND

Dave Beck's defiance of his
suspension by labor's high COM
mand as an AFL-CIO officer
may speed his recall as a wit
ness before the Select Senate
Committee investigating his f.
nancial dealings.
This was the immediate Re-
action of investigating Senators
to the Teamsters Union presi-
dents formal rejection of the
suspension. ordered March ~,
as ineffective" and "a nullity."
Beck set forth his position IN
a letter late yesterday to AFL-
CLIO President George Meany.
He contended the AFL-CIO Ex-
ecutive Council had no power to
suspend him as a. member and
as a vice president of the fedora
ton on a blanket charge Of
bringing organized labor into
"disrepute."
Challenges Probe
The 62-year-old Transfers
leader also challenged similarly
the councils action in ordering
an investigation of whether the
Transfers Union is dominated
by corrupt influences"
This could enhance the pos
sibility of hts early appearance
before the committee, said Sen
ator Mundt, Republican of South
Dakota. a member of the Senate
investigating group.
1 The Senator added that COM
mittee investigators have uncov-
cred "a vast amount of new
information" on Beck's financial
dealings with his union.
/ He said the information could
be developed in hearings by a
number of witnesses and that
Beck then would be given an OPP
, portunity to testify.
/ He could confirm or deny the
information. or he could take
the Fifth Amendment" Senator
Mundt said.
Invoked 5th III Times
Beck invoked the Fifth amend
ment privilege lit times in an
appearance before the commit
tee several weeks ago and re-
fused to answer questions on
grounds that his replies might
;. tend to incriminate him. He
pointed out at the time that he
was under income tax investiga-
ton.
:, Led by Mr.. Meany, the ALL
Clio Executive Council moved
promptly to suspend him as a
council member and vice presi-
dent. His refusal to answer
questions. it was pointed out,
was violation of the code of
ethics adopted by the council
at its January meeting at Miami
Beach.
The council set May 20 for a
hearing for Beck and subsequent
ly furnished him with a set of
charges. 1t was to these actions
that Beck responded in his let
ter yesterday to Mr.. Meany.
Powers Called Limited
Beck commended that the
powers of the council are limited
by the AFL-CIO constitution
Ito the filing of charges, con-
duct Of hearings and recon-
mending appropriate action to
the AFL-CIO convention" and
added:
Accordingly. the purported
suspension is ineffective"
/ He said investigation and
hearing by the council can be
|; made only on specific charges
of malfeasance and maladmin-
. istration and that the AFL-CIO
constitution cannot be regarded
as an ex-post facto law having
retroactive effect"
:, He said he could consider a
reply and advise the council of
his position after specific
charges have been presented.

do or not. the one great pro-
found regret of my life is that

for mankind"
Senator George, gray head
bowed, gray eyes tear-filled be-
hind his heavy glasses, made
his way to the door.
Political Trouble at Home
BY the time the second ses-
sion began. Senator George
was confronted with political
troubles at home. Bedeyiled
by the challenge of Herman
Talmadge = who was 9 years
old when Walter George went
to the Senate = Senator George
withdrew his support from the
Administrators long range
spending program. Senator
George became increasingly
preoccupied with this political
menace, knowing that under
Georgia's strange county-unjt
system OF vote counting, he
might lose his place in the SEN
ate and with it the extraordi-
nary position he had held in
the highest councils Of his Gov
eminent and in the respect of
his colleagues.
Finally, q. group Of his most
loyal partisans embarked. with
heavy hearts. on a realistic en-
deavor to measure the Senator's
strength at home. They found
that his devotion to duty in
Washington had not counted
for much in the back country
Of Georgia.
Senator George. suffering
from ailments that made him
unwilling at 70 to brave the
savage heat of summer cam

in the post he assumed in
January Of this year. He was
hospitalized in June.
The Senator's distinguished
career was a rise from small
town Southern obscurity to
world renown. From boyhood
he displayed the gifts which
were to take him far.
The only son of Robert Theo-
doric and Sarah Stapleton

father was q tenant farmer

school days, once pinch nit for
a local orator at a village cele-
bration and brought the house
down.
He studied law at Mercer
University. He was graduated
with honors and in his first
year Of law school won both
the Georgia and Southern
States speaking medal.
He Enters Senate
In 1901, he hung out his
shingle in the little town of
Vienna pronounced Vienna,
with accent on the first Syl-
lable). and soon was handling
more cases than all the other
lawyers in the county. In 1903
he married Lucy Heard. His
first bid for public Office was
that OF prosecuting attorney Of
the Cordele judicial District.
In 1912. he was appoined Dis
trict court Judge.
After a term as an associate
justice Of the Georgia Supreme
Court. he came back to Vienna
and made his first successful
bid for the Senate seat he was
to hold for "a years. He re-
placed Tom Watson, whose
fiery. incorporate speeches
were the direct antithesis Of

sonable appeals.

Senator George gradually re-
Taxed these strong prejudices
against strong drink and in
volvement with foreign coun-
tries. By 1923, he was loyalty

Smith, a wet" and even got
to take a moderate bourbon,
himself. from time to time.
The coming of Franklin D.
Roosevelt to the White House
in 1888 brought the New Deal
into Americas political life and
ia crisis in Senator Georges
own. Senator George, cautious
and conservative, went along
with FDR about so per cent of
the time. which was not enough
for FDR.
He stood against the Guffey
Coal Act, and wages and hours
bill, the Wagner Housing Act
and a proposed investigation of
private power. And in a mo-
mentous decision, he opposed
the Supreme Court packing
plan of 1887.
Roosevelt Tries to Purge Him
For Senator Georges leader
ship in defeating this scheme,
Mr.. Roosevelt vowed revenge.
In 1888 at the head of the list
OF Senators to be purged as re-
dictionaries he put Mr.. Georges
name.
The episode proved the most
dramatic Of Georges political
career. His chief rival was Eu-
gene Talmadge, father of the
man who was to be his ulti-
mate political nemesis. Presi-
dent Roosevelt threw the full
weight of his name and iniu-
ence with Lawrence Camp. a
United. States district attorney
He personally led the fight
against Mr.. George. In his
opening speech of the cam
paign. FDR told an audience
that "on most public questions

language"
With Walter George on the
platform, the President said:

BY mid-morning Of the same
day, the President was on the
telephone. Offering his most
valued senatorial ally the lob Of

Senator George accepted.
In the Senate that day, his
colleagues spoke sorrowfully of
his impending departure.
Illness prevented him from
