Abdullah was fo have been lran mediator PARIS Well-informed circles here reject assertion that King Abdullah of Jordan, assassinated in Jerusalem on July 20, was the victim of a dynastical feud murder. The ter- rorist act against Abdullah, they point out, was committed at a moment when Abdullah, on British initiative, was preparing to come forward as mediator in the British- Tranian oil conflict on behalf of the Arab states. Preliminary talks on the offer of the late king’s services to the Iranian government, which Abdul- lah held with the Iranian envoy to Amman, had provided the British with good hopes that Iran would devote careful consideration to the Arab proposals, it is reported here. At the same time, David Fritz- lain, U.S. charge d’affaires in Jor- dan, was consistently making it clear to Abdullah through court advisors that the U.S. disapproved of Abdullah’s intentions and that it regarded the mission of Preési- dent Truman’s special assistant, W. Averell Harriman, as sufficient to fulfil the role of mediator in Tran. FBI will help — Franco tighten Strip on Spain.

In Hoover’s opinion, an increase in anti-fascist sentiment even among generals and officers of the Spanish Army is the cause for special apprehension, This, Hoover believes, might result in a conspir- acy of the military against Franco. f “LL chuolezo" ar" Franco’s fascists will learn... .

This, declared the paper gave substance to the French-inspired rumor that an estimated 30,000 ex- Kuomintang troops are to be thrown into the war against the Vietnamese people. It is also noted here that a new British control order requiring all publications in Singapore to ob- tain permits followed immediately on Dewey’s visit and his claim to be “shocked” by Singapore papers giving front-page prominence to news of racial violence in the US. Abdullah was known to be one of the most determined supporters of the British “Greater Syria” plan for merging Jordan, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon into one state under British control—a plan that con- flicts with American political. am- bitions in the Near East: LONDON British Foreign Minister Herbert Morrison had talks with Emir Feisal, foreign minister of Saudi Arabia, here on August 8 and it is understood that Morrison sug- gested to the Emir a military pact to include’ Iran, the other Arab countries and Pakistan. Emir Feizal’s visit comes shortly after the assassination of Jordan’s King Abdullah, the main pillar of British power in the Middle East, who was also to assist the British interests by “mediating” in the British-Iranian oil conflicts “on be- half” of the Arab countries. Saudi Arabia’s oil concessions are ex- ploited exclusively by the Ameri- cans and it is believed here that Saudi Arabia’s rapproachment with Britain may assist that country in its desire to increase the oil royal- ties which it receives from the Arabian-American Qil Company. The so-called Arab Defense Pact is one of the British countermovés against the American plan of bringing about a military alliance between Turkey and Iran Skilled workers seek jobs in East Germany While newspapers in Western countries fill their columns with extravagant accounts of refugees from the German Democratic Re- .public. seeking asylum in Western Germany, the West German Rhein- ische Zeitung reports that some 150,000 unemployed skilled’ work- ers left Western Germany and found work in Eastern Germany between the fall of 1949 and the end of .1950.
