Thaker, company president, said he has asked the National Labor Relations Board to clear the way for an election to determine whether or not the workers want to organize. Sidney C. Box, UMW representative from Marion, said the workers took a strike vote Thursday and his union was their representative. The plant was shut down ,for remodeling for the past two weeks. The aluminum casting firm was due to reopen next week. Thaker said he would hire any of the picketing men except the three who wre fired earlier. i He said one was fired for insubordination, one for misrepresenting his qualifications and the third for violating plant security.

Jordan Virtually Created By Churchill Kingdom Is Now In Perilous Isolation -LONDON (UPD—The kingdom of Jordan, standing today in perilous isolation at the center of the revolutionary Middle East, waa virtualy created by Sir Winston Churchil 37 years ago. Over cigars and brandy at a dinner with Lawrence of Arabia in Cairo in 1921,, Churchill, who was the British colonial secretary, decided to reward Lawrence’s chief ally, Sherif Hussein, by giving him a kingdom. The World War I defeat of the Turkish empire had brought a split-up of the Arab provinces. By the treaty of San Remo, Syria and Lebanon became French mandates, Palestine (west of the Jordan River) and Transjordan (east of the river) and Iraq (formerly Mesopotamia) became British - mandated territories. In recognition of Sherif Hussein’s aid to Lawrence in sparking the Arab revolt during the war, it was decided that his two sons, Faisal and Abdullah, should be given the thrones of Iraq and Transjordan respectively. =F-~ JOMtlt 1# Created It was their grandsons on whom the world spotlight turned this July 13—23-year-old King Faisal, victim of an assassin’s bullet in his Baghdad palace, and hi s cousin, 22-year-old King Hussein, still standing defiantly in his palace at Amman guarded by British paratroopers. In 1946 Transjordan became independent. Two years later At> dullah was made king of the ‘‘Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.” During the same year (1948) the British m and at 6 in Palestine ended and. in the ensuing conflict, the Arab Legion occupied a considerable area on the Jordan River's west bank. In 1950 this area was formally incorporated in the kingdom of Jordan and at one stroke the population of the kingdom was doubled by 750,000 dispossessed and disgruntled Palestinians. Bitter Toward West The Palestinians doubled the number of seats in Jordan’s House of Representatives. Their influence steadily grew. Their anti-Western tirades, embittered by the creation of the Jewish state of Israel, grew more and more violent. In 1956 the Jordan elections produced a parliament hostile eyen to the continued existence of Jordan. They ended the alliance with Britain. Young Hussein sacked Maj. Gen. Sir John Bagot Glubb as commander of the Arab Legion and promoted young officers who, in return, plotted to oust the king and join in federation with Egypt and Syria.
