Khalidi Jordan Premier After Crisis

AMMAN, Jordan, R-Hussein Fakhri Khalidi, Western political leader, was named Jor- dams new Premier today. This was a victory for King Hussein in a six-day-old Cabinet crisis.
 The seven-man Cabinet in cludes Suleiman Nabulsi, the left wing Nationalist Socialist Party leader dismissed as Premier last Wednesday.
 Dispatches from Amman are under censorship. Earlier advices reaching Damascus pictured Illus sein as gaining steadily in bold struggle to purge pro-Egyptian leaders from Jordan's army and political life. Yesterday Hussein exiled the Jordan arny's pro- Egyptian chief of staff. Despite this, the major elements of the Jordan army were apparently be- hind the Kng)
 Tension has gripped Jordan during the past few days of the crisis. But it was generally hoped now that the country will return to normal
 The Cabinet was top heavy with Independents. Besides Khai- idi, who is an Independent, the new government will have five other Independents and one Ma tional Socialist.
 Khalidi's success at forming a government came as a surprise. Last official information given out earlier today reported that Said Multi was still trying to set up Cabinet.
 Hussein emerged from the cri- sis with a greater stature than ever. Khalidi is Palestine refu- gee. This is important, since Pal estinians form more than a third of the population.
 The Eisenhower Doctrine for the Middle East actually set off the crisis. Then it developed into struggle for power between ex- tremists and moderates.

 Robbery Quickly

CLEVELAND R-The startling solution to a bank holdup, in which a movie camera made its debut as an arm of the police, has been making headlines here, but in the background are two old fashioned detectives who noticed a red-haired girl in restaurant.
 The detectives, admired the "walk" of a girl in a restaurant three hours before the St. Clair Savings & Loan Co. was robbed of $2,387 Friday noon.
 At 4:30 pm. Friday the two were among a group who saw the two-minute film from a hidden movie camera at the bank. In the picture they saw girl who walked confidently to- a cash drawer.
 The detectives went back to the restaurant where they had seen the red-haired girl among the customers. There they located a truck driver who was seen talk ing to the girl.
 The detectives got her home ad- dress and identified her as Miss l Wanda Dicenzi, IS, of Cleveland. The investigation resulted in the surrender of 18-year-old Rose Donnell and Steven Ray Thomas, "A, and the capture of Miss Di- cenzi-all within three hours af- ter the holdup. All but $500 was recovered.
 Miss O'Donnell admitted driv- ing the getaway car, police said Miss Dicenzi was located on the tip of a woman who saw the hold up on television.>
 Thomas said, EFI almost fell or my face when I saw the pictures late Friday in the Cleveland News"
 Four years of preparation went into the two-minute movie.
 The 16-mi11imeter Army sur plus gun camera had been in stalled just the previous day, anC final tests had not been made when the man and his pretty blonde accomplice walked into the bank, each carrying pistols and demanding money.
 Elsie Rapic, 19-year-old teller stepped on an alarm pedal to start the movie camera grinding anC signal police at the central station
 The pictures, slightly fuzzy be- cause of vibration near the cam era, show the gunman, a hand kerchief over the lower part o1 his face, pointing his pistol while the woman walks confidently around the counter to get the money from cash drawer.

care TO point out that despite Salk

ease to be reckoned with and treat
ment of persons stricken last year
and even years ago, was taking a
heavy toll of monies already in
hand and anticipated.
The chairmen were profuse in
their praise for the unselfish lead
ership of the team captains and
the "leg work" contributed by the
myriads of workers, who under
took the Crusade for Funds.
Worthy of especial commenda-
tion was the inspired effort of Joe
Kemp, a past fund drive chairman,
who headed up the special fund
drive conducted by the membership
of the Milford Lions Club.
The coffees, which were held by
many Milford folk, and the March
of the Mothers were real highlights
of the drive.

It's successful operation, with the
employment of approximately 275
people residing in Milford, Hous-
