World Anxiety Increases For Mid-East Peace Jordan King Seeks Compromise To End* Political Crisis By WALTER LOGAN United Press Staff Correspondent King Hussein moved Friday for a compromise end to Jordan’s political crisis, but events there and the deepening dispute over the Gulf of Aqaba world anxiety for peace in the Middle East. Hussein asked Abdul Halim Nimr to try to form a cabinet. Nimr was defense and interior minister in the cabinet of ousted Premier Suleiman Nabulsi, but is considered more conservative than the left-wing Nabulsi. Hie King's first choice for premier, Hussein El-Khalidi, failed, and it became increasingly evident 1 that Nabulsi still commanded a big following among those who consider him the chief symbol of Jordan’s newly forged ties with Egypt. There even were reports that Hussein might be forced to restore Nabulsi to the premiership—an event that would bring dismay to Israel which fears a three-front . attack from Syria, Jordan and Egypt if Hussein loses the power struggle. Friday was the Moslem Sabbath and Jordan was reported quiet. Israel Plans Roads A stern Saudi Arabian warning against Israel’s use of the Gulf of Aqaba, published in Cairo, aroused new concern for a Mideast flareup. American officials in Washington said early action was needed to settle the growing dispute over the international status of the Gulf of Aqaba. They said failure to face up to the issue may result in a new Middle East explosion. Israel counts heavily on the route through the gulf; Saudi Arabia said it would fire on any Israeli ships using the route. There was no immediate comment from Israel, but a Jerusalem dispatch told of huge construction projects for the port of Eilat and plans for hard-surfaced roads and for pipelines linking Eilat with the Mediterranean. use its Navy to protect its shipping. In London, Edwin Samuel told a meeting of the Anglo-Israel association Israel would use its navy and air force to protect its rights New Border Incidents In the midst of the tense situation tne United States and King Saud of Saudi Arabia issued a joint statement Thursday night reaffirming their pledge to oppose Communist activity and “other forms of imperialism” threatening peace in the Middle East. The Arab states have protested that an American taqker landed oil at Eilat and also called attention of Iran to the fact the oil came from Iran. The Jerusalem (Israel) Radio said the national Iranian Oil Go. had rejected Arab protests and said the oil belonged to an international oil consortium and that its destination was no concern of the Iranian company. An Israeli military spokesman reported three new border incidents involving Syria, Jordan and the Gaza Strip. He said an Israeli patrol shot and killed a Fedayeen raider in the Negev Desert, that Syrian forces opened machinegun and rifle fire on an Israeli settlement in Galilee and that an Israeli patrol clashed in the Negev with a band of raiders from Gaza.

Mysterious Death L Blamed On Fasting Television Star's Daughter Is Dead HOLLYWOOD (UP)—Television and film star Larry (Buster) Crabbe Friday blamed the mysterious death of his 20-year-old daughter on the "subconscious condition in her mind that just wouldn’t let her eat.” Crabbe, a husky former U.S. Olympic Gamfes swimming champion, told authorities his daughter, Caren Lynn Crabbe, 20, apparently starved to death as a result of an emotional disturbance which made food distasteful to her. An attending physician was quoted by police as saying the swimmer’s daughter, a graduate of Marlborough School for Girls and recently a student at the University of Southern California, apparently died after a five-week fast that left her weighing only 60 pounds. The girl died Wednesday at the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Held, whose only comment was, "Caren hadn’t been well for some time.” Friends of the girl said they were unable to explain the case. Crabbe and his wife rushed here by plane from New York after hearing of their daughter’s strange death. "We took her out of school about a month ago because she was not strong enough to attend,” he said. “She was emotionally disturbed and there just didn’t seem to be anything that doctors or psychiatrists could do about it.” EARLY ACTION lUUlluufd from r««, One; here, was issued by Saud and James P.

Iceland Latest Threatened By Soviet Russia Iceland Warned To Eject U. S. Troops Or Face Consequence LONDON (UP>- Soviet Russia told' Iceland Friday to eject American troops or face a “crushing blow” in any East-West war. It was the latest and potentially most dangerous in a series of blistering threats by the Soviet Union against America's NATO Allies. A year ago local Communists in Iceland almost succeeded in forcing withdrawal of the American airmen and ground troops who maintain American installations in Iceland, site of NATO's northernmost Atlantic bases. Moscow Radio began the new attack today by broadcasting a newspaper warning .that Russia “will be compelled to strike a crushing blow at the aggressors, wherever they are.” Then jt added Iceland to the list of nations already given nuclear warnings within the past ten days —Denmark, Greece, Norway, West Germany, Turkey, The Netherlands and Britain. There also were warnings to Moslem nations having American bases. * The Soviet defense ministry Daily Krashaya Zveztfa, quoted by a Moscow Radio broacast heard here, said “The withdrawal of the American troops from Iceland is che only way to ensure her security.” “These who cannot nor do not want to understand this, and close their eyes to the American plans for using Iceland as a springboard for attacking the U.S.S.R. are in for a tragic mistake.” The paper said “It is common knowledge that the Soviet Union does not intend to attack anyone but will be compelled to strike a -■rushing blow at the aggressor and his bases, wherever they are.” Noted Negro Singer At Willshire Church C. Myron Clark, of Bellefontaine, 0., one of the foremost Negro singers in the Midwest, will present a program of religious music at the Willshire, 0., Methodist church at 7:30 p.m. next Wednesday. Clark formerly sang with the Chicago Negro opera company and later the Eureka jubilee singers The Rev. James Hipkins, pastor of the church, invited the public to attend.

Funeral Riles Held For James Sprunger Rites fcleld Today At Berne Church The funeral of James H. Sprunger, 28, of Berne, was held at the First Mennonite Church of Berne this afternoon, with the Rev. Olin A. Krehbiel officiating. Burial was in the M. R. E. cemetery. Sprunger was found about 8:30 a.' m. Tuesday lying under his bicycle in an alley-way next to the residence of J,' 0. James, 516 North Grant street, in Bloomington. He had left his rooming home three blocks away a few minutes before. Death of the 'Adams county young man was attributed to suffocation resulting froip cerebral concussion. He apparently suffered a blackout and fell over the handlebars of his bicycle. He had been subject to such blackouts since a childhood attack of pneumonia. At the same time as the funeral a special service was conducted on the campus at I. U. by his friends there. The Rev. Charles Haarer, pastor of the Bean Blossom Mennonite church, where Sprunger taught Sunday school, and Prof. S. G. Savage, Os the department of journalism, spoke briefly. The I. U. Student Foundation, which sponsors the Little 500 bicycle race yearly at I. U. voted Wednesday to set aside 8100 from the proceeds of the race to establish a James H. Sprunger memorial scholarship. The scholarship i will be awarded next fall to help a student in journalism who is helping himself by working to earn college expenses. Also on Wednesday the I. U. inter-varsity Christian fellowship set' up a scholarship to send an I. U. student to “Campus in the Woods,” an inter-varsity summer camp in northern Ontario, Canada. The editorial page of the Wednesday Indiana Daily Student was dedicated to Sprunger, and an edi-i torial, entitled “Goodness Reign-1 ed” was lined in black in his memory. —- HIGHWAY ’ Prnn •'•re nn* • Tri-State highway, in Lake County, a bypass at South Bend, an expressway at Evansville, and U.S. 27 in Wayne County. Governor Handley backed the investigation in a prepared statement. “No irregularities will be tolerated in any department of Indiana government during my administration,” Handley said. “No effort I will be made to shield anyone. 1 Whenever there is wrongdoing by a public employe the truth should come out. Let the chips fall where they may.”
