Spain to Restore Monarchy New Cabinet Named to Woo West Europe and U.S. Dollars 2 4 JORDAN SKING ABDULLAH MURDERED Cairo (CP)-- King Abdullah of Jordan was assassinated today as he was entering a mosque in Jeru- salem. The killing promised new diffi- culties in the middle east for Bri- tain, already harried by the Iran- ian oil crisis. Britain put Abdullah on the Jordan throne after the se- cond world war and supplied funds to his government and its strong Arab d Legion. = Abdullah 69, was shot and killed at the entrance of the Aqusa mos- que in the old city of Jerusalem, the British Foreign Office said. The government radio at Amman, in announcing the death of the bearded leader, said Abdullah's se- cond son, 35 -year -old Prince Naif, has been named temporarily as prince regent. The crown prince, Tallal, 40, has been under treat- ment for a nervous disorder. Mullahs (Moslem priests) chant- ed verses of the Mohammedan Koran over the Amman radio in mourning as soon as the news was announced. Friday is the Mos- lem Sabbath. The King claimed direct descent from the family of the prdphet Mohammed. The British Foreign Office said the assassin was indestifed as Mus- tafa Shakir. He was said to have been shot dead.

The two, Max von Matt, 44, of Port Arthur and Louis Lee, 61, of Matheson, Ont., wgre flushed from their hiding place in the bush a half-mile from the hospital from which they escaped seven hours earlier, Both had been sent to the hos- pital after being charged with mur- der and declared insane. Von Matt was reported to have shot his mother while he was in an epileptic fit; Lee was sald to have struck and killed his daughter's boy friend. They escaped shortly after three o'clock Thursday afternoon when they broke away from a group work- ing in a hospital hayfield. Provincial police officials in To- ronto said neither sidered dangerous. von Matt five years, U.S. Rebuilds Air Fields Iceland Along Vital 'Bomber Alley' Washington (AP) -- American military and civilian workers have started rebuilding some vitally-im- portant second world war air fields in Greenland, along the top -of- the -world bomber routes from Russia. Equipment, supplies and con- struction workers started moving to Greenland seyeral weeks ago, it was learned today. Actual constructon work at the Greenland bases apparently is be- ing carried on by private firms under contracts with the army en- gineers and air force. The 6500 -foot runway at Nar- sarssuak and the smaller strips at three other bases used by the U. 8. during the second world war would be too short for modern jet fighter or bomber aircraft ro for B-36 bombers taking off with full load of fuel and bombs. The same situation would prevail in Iceland, where the U. S. recently began re- use of some wartime bases. NET PAID CIRCULATION . The Times-Gazette . Average Per Issue for JUNE 10,617 New construction work at Green- land bases obviously will include lengthening of runways to enable present-day and future planes and big transports to fly into and out of the arctic fields.

(CP) -- Three Schomberg residents were killed early today in a level crossing col- lision between a freight train and an automobile. Dead are: Jack Piercy, 26, Grant Brown, 26, and Mervin Houghton. Police said the accident occur- red 15 milgs west of here. In De- cember six persons were killed in a car-train crash just 100 yards away on a parallel railway line. Ten children were left fatherless by the crash. All three victims were married and Piercy and Houghton each had two children and Brown, six, ranging from two to eight years. Barrie provincial police said the men had taken a load of meat to Tottenham, nine miles from here, and had returned by way of Bee- ton to pick up parts for Hough- ton's garage. William Stephenson, Beeton sec- tion foreman, said the freight train and the cat met head-on at 12:32 a.m. The car was torn to ribbons. IN KOREA U.N. FORCES TO REMAIN INDEFINITELY Local Service Clubs Make Detailed Plans To Operate Midway for Oshawa Fair VISIT T0 SHAH NEXT ON LIST FOR HARRIMAN Tehran, Iran (AP)-- W, Averell Harriman, continuing his door-to- door calls on Iran's officials to try to work out some compromise in the bitter British - Iranian oil row, may visit the Shah today. A security curtain cloaks the movements of President Truman's emissary to avoid more anti-Amer- ican demonstrations by' Commu- nists or nationalists, but it is be- lieved he plans next to visit Iran's ruler and meet with 'the Iranian oil nationalization board. Since he arrived from Washing- ton last Sunday, Harriman already has paid three visits to Premier Mohammed Mossadegh in an at- tempt to"get modification of the na- | tionalization of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company holdings which has halted shipments from southern oil fields. Iranian officials have been hint- ing in an unofficial way that they would be willing to talk over oil feelers" which avoid the main dis- pute over nationalization, an in- formed British source reported. Iranians are believed to have discussed the possibility of such talks in the meeting between Har- riman and the parliament's joint oil nationalization board last night. Harriman has yet, however, to draw a concrete proposal from the Iranians, Actually, the offer to talk about marketing and distribution would be no change from the Iranian po- sition. The Iranians have been wil- ling all along to. sell their oil to their old customers. They insist, however, on control of production and conditions of sale. 20 Thousand Physicians Plan Revolt London (AP)-- The Labor gov- ernment received notice last night that all 20,000 doctors in Britain's national health service will pull out Sept. 25 unless they get arbitra- tion of their demands for higher pay. The British Medical Association delivered the ultimatum to Health Minister Hilary A. Marquand after BMA committees from all counties had conferred in London. Pay negotiations have been going on for months between the health ministry and the physicians' group but the doctors contend they have been getting nowhere. The physicians now get a fixed rate of about $2.50 a year for each patient and are allowed to sign up to 4000 patients. They claim they have to work around the clock to make ends meet.

Will Build Big Refinery Philadelphia (CP) Company today announced plans for construction of a refinery at Sarnia at a cost of about $10 mil- lion. Joseph N. Pew, chairman of the board, said that start of construc- tion will depend on the materials situation, but March, 1953, is scheduled as completion date. The plant will be able to process 10,000 to 15,000 barrels a day of crude oil. It will consist of com- bination atmospherior and vacuum distillation units and an 8,000 to 10,000 barrel-a - day houdriflow catalytic cracking unit.

The invitatiens were accompan- ied by copies of a treaty draft joint- ly sponsored by the United States and Britain. The invitations speci- fied the conference would be held "on the terms of"that draft. Russia was among the countries invited but officials here regarded it as vitually certain that Moscow would reject the bid. The Soviet Union has sharply criticized not only some parts of the proposed treaty but also the way it was drawn up. The treaty, as drafted, does not recognize Russia's possession of the Kurile islands or the south half of the Sakhalin taken from Japan af- ter the second world war. The official announcement re- minded each country that the peace treaty text had been ¢ircu- lated to all prior to issuance of the conference bids and added: "It is believed that the enclosed draft treaty and declarations com- bine and reconcile, as far as is practicable, the point of view of all the allied powers which were at war with Japan and will esta- blish, with Japan, a just and dura- ble peace."

The boy became separated from his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Langstaff, while picking blueber- ries in the dense bush and mus- keg area. Soaking - wet searchers, who combed the territory most of the | night, exprssed fear for the safety {of the boy. The search was organized when Stanley Chabot returned to Fort | Frances to report the boy missing. A radio call for volunteers brought out about 200 men from a 20-mile area between Frot Frances and Emo, Ont., plus an airplaine pilot- ed by Rusty Myers from the local flying ' service. Provincial police, investigating another case in the area, joined the search later in the night. The boy's father and many sear- chers remained out all night, while a stream of cars went back and forth to Fort Frances for food.

N. side to ultimate proof of Communist good faith in main- taining a Korean peace. It had the effect, furthermore, of serving emphatic notice on the Reds at a critical point in the Kae- song talks that the issue of troops withdrawal, which had already deadlocked the conference, was one upon which the United States government was neither prepared to back down nor to compromise. The showdown was postponed, probably until tomorrow, when rain-swollen streams prevented a new negotiating session planned for today. : "If there is an effective armis- tice," Acheson said, "a United Na- tions force must remain in Korea until a genuine peace has been firmly established and the Korean people have assurance that they TROOPS TO STAY (Continued on page 2) RAINHOLDS UP MOST CRUCIAL CONFERENCE Munsan, Korea (AP)-- The Ko- rean armistice talks, focus of world hopes for peace, took a back seat today to the weather. A flash flood turned a creek 10 miles south of the Kaesong con- ference' site into a raging torrent and barred jeeps carrying United Nations delegates to the truce city. Bad weather also grounded the helicopters in which U. N. dele- gates usually travel the 14 miles to Kaesong. The eighth session between U. N. and Communist teams -- gen- | erally regarded as crucial in this first phase of the peace talks -- was postponed until 10 a.m. tomor= row (8 p.m. EDT, Friday).

' Canada. a, London (Reuters)-- The United States has proposed that Britain and France meet in Washington to discuss the problem of Germa- ny's contribution to Atlantic de- fence, a Foreign Office spokesman said today. He said Britain still was consid- ering the proposal. It is apparently aimed at speed- ing up the long drawn out discus- sions about the West German con- tribution to the Atlantic Pact forces. Washington conference likely would study the report on recent talks in Germany between the West German government and the three western high commissioners. While leaving open the question wv of whether Germany should or should not take part in Atlantic de- fence, German military experts then put forward certain specific proposals including, it is under- stood, the suggestion that the over- all German force should number 250,000, organized in units of not less than a division. The governments of the three western occupation powers are due to report soon on these talks to the North Atlantic treaty organiza- tion 'deputies council. The Washington conference would most likely hammer out a U. S.-French-British policy on the matter which could be presented to the deputies when they: debate - the reports. probably will be confined mainly to riverfront sections as it was in the 1947 flood.

Most professional soldiers rated the crown prince's military talents as hardly above average, although he held titular command of an en- tire army. After the war he claimed that, despite his ill-repute abroad, he had tried his best in September, 1914, to arrange a quick peace in the vast conflict that had broken out only the month before. He also denied that he ever fav- ored Hitler's movement, although history shows he issued an announ- 2 cement in April, 1932, favoring Hitler's election and in July, 1933, wrote an article for a London Sun- day newspaper endorsing nazism. * Ee a i,
