Israel Begins Observance of

The Passover

JERUSALEM (AP) Israel began the annual observance of the Passover Monday night in the midst of a new exodus of Jews from Egypt.

The mood of this Jewish state was festiva. despite the political upheaval and the alarming pos- sibilities of a new clash in Arab Jordan next door. The people seemed eager to throw off the ten- sions of the 5'A months since the Sinai war.

But the tourist business dun by the Christian Easter season seemed likely to be the poorest in years. Only about l,500 for- eigners includ so Canad' II! have arrived in ael and Jor...m to make the customary pilgrim- sgea to holy places. Last year there were 15,000 visitors from foreign countries.

In salem reporlell only soo for- eign guests. Bethlehem in Jordan

no visitors.

The tense Middle East situation. particularly in Jordan where the most important holy sites are located, and the late lifting of an United States ban on travel to Is- rael. were believed responsible ft: the small number of pilgrims as holy week and Passover oh- ssrvanoas began. P couanemaratn

Victory For Jordan's King In Purging Of Extremists

AMMAN. Jordan (AP)-Young Ki " i ” ' ' by tough Bedouin fighters of the Arab Legion. won a victory Monday in his struggle to give Jordan a mod- erate government. purged of Com- munists and extremists.

Dr. Hussein Fahkri Khallcll, 61- year-old Palestinian re' who has shown leanings towardvthe West. was named prime minister in a seven-man cabinet.

His appointment ended a six- day crisis set of by Hussems ouster of prime ' ' ” ' l Nabulsl. a moderate leftist who headed the powerful National So- cialist party. Nahulsi is included in the new cabinet as a conces- sion to the party, which controls 13 seats in the 40-man parliament. But no other National Socialist made the grade.

Hussein emerged from the crisis with greater stature than

ever. The 21-year-old king was nillng through virtual martial law. His trump card was th eloyal support of the Bedouin warriors who make up the bulk of the British-trained Arab Legion. They command stra- c positions atop the seven hills upon which Amman is built, and occupy posts in the busines I trlct. They camp in strength on Amrnan's outskirts. MEANT BUSINESS When they entered the city Mou- day they blackened their faces with burnt cork-an Arab sign that they meant business and were prepared to kill.

commander.

Although the crisis appeared in be at an end. the government still imposed censorship on outgoing press dispatches.

The assignments for the cabinet ministers was not announced. FORMER PREMIERS

The " i A three for- mer premiers. They are Nabulsi, Said Mufti and Fawzi Mulki. Mufti tried to put together a cab- inet but failed. Mulki is presently Jordan's ambassador in Cairo. The other members are Dr. Amin Madjaj. a former Jerusalem ma- yor, and Majid Abdulhadi. a judge who eerged from semi-rctire- ment to enter the cabinet.

Khalidl also is a former mayor of Jerusalem. He is a native Palestinian, a physician by pro- fession. lie served in the Turksh armyi in his younger days and has held the ministry of foreign af- fairs in other Jordan cabinets.

The new cabinet is one of mod- erates, but one in which the Palestine Arabs. which make up a big part of Jordan's 1,500,000

loyalty and obedience to their populailtln, are represented.

The tide appeared to turn in favor of Hussein Saturday night ,aiier he made the dramatic ap- lpearance before his troops at Zarza.

Hussein Sunday ousted Maj.- Gcn. All Abu Nuwar. chief of staff of the 24.000-man Jordan army. Nuwar. who has pro-Egyptian sympathies, was reported to have switched his loyalty to the Na- tional Socialists when they ap- peared to be winning.

Nuwar was unceremoniously stripped of his command. given sick leave, and was last seen wearing civilian clothes riding in an automobile with Gen. llayari.

(Damascus dispatches said Nu- war and his family had arrived there in exile. Hayari. a bitter enemy of Nuwar and loyal to llusein, was reported in line for chief of staff. Other h a the National Socialist party were reported going into exile).

NAME CANDIDATE

Mr. F” ' h ' saved some of

his comments for a meeting Mon- day night at which local Progres- aivs Conservatives planned to name their choice for the federal riding of st. John's West, and St. John's East.

He said information was with- held on the shipment of aircraft to Egypt in January. 1956, and more recently on the suicide of Herbert Norman. Canadian ambas- sador to Elyllt. after a smearing by a United States Senate sub- committee.

"I believe there is no justifica- tion for a foreign state to investi- gate a Canadian," Mr. Dictcn- baker said.

"lf they run out of targets in the states than I recommend they ad- Journ."

However the opposition had been told at first there was no justifica- tion in the charges against Nor- man. later it was told an investi- gation had revaled "certain facts" about him.
