Soviet Troops In Syria Unofficial Report Says
By UNITED PRESS
Soviet volunteer troops are reported in position in Syria today, ready for action in any Middle East conflict.
The announcement came on the heels of Thursday's movement of the U. S. 6th Fleet into the Eastern Mediterranean area. They could not be confirmed officially, but there has been official talk of volunteers being provided from Moslem areas of the Soviet Union.
Other major Middle Eastern developments were:
Damascus reports quoted a Syrian military spokesman as saying that Israeli land forces and two Israeli torpedo boats on Lake Tiberias opened fire on the Syrian outposts of El Hastel today.
The powerful U. S. 6th Fleet steamed under secret orders toward the Eastern Mediterranean and urgent diplomatic.warnings were sent to Israel and Arab countries not to capitalize on Jordan's internal throes.
King Hussein of Jordan has demanded that Syria withdraw its 3,000 or more troops from Jordan. Highly mobile forces of the Iraqi army are poised near the Jordanian frontier, ready to drive them out if Hussein summons help.
Nabuli Suleian, the left-wing, pro-Egyptian and pro-Syrian premier whose ouster by King Hussein touched off Jordan's political crisis, dropped from sight when the government of Premier Hussein Khalidi resigned early Thursday.
'Strife-Torn Jordan Wants To Be Left Alone'
By DEAN HUMPHEY (Of The Daily Kansan Staff)
"The deepest desire of the Jordanian people in that tiny strifte torn kingdom today, is to be left completely alone," Yacoub Qandil, Hebron, Jordan junior, said.
"It is impossible at this time to try to predict the outcome of the complicated situation in Jordan," he said. "But whatever is done will have to be done without outside interference before the people will be satisfied."
Qandil feels that only interference from "outside" can save young King Hussein's position if he continues to control the people with the martial law which he invoked yesterday.
"As long as King Hussein uses force to work against the objectives and wishes of the people, for example through the use of martial law, his position will be challenged by the people, Qandil said.
In answer to King Hussein's statement that "international communism" is to blame for Jordan's crisis, Qandil said. "I know the majority of the people are unaffected by outsiders. They are determined to live their lives as they wish, without advice from other countries or peoples."
This desire for isolation has grown through a distrust of outsiders who in the past have made attempts to change Jordanian thinking. Qandil believes.
"The people of Jordan do not recognize communism or any other foreign faction," he said. "We only want to achieve our own personal objectives with the cooperation of the other Arab states, without any outside influence."
Qandil, a geology major, has been in the United States since 1953. He studied first at the University of Tulsa and then at the Chicago extension branch of the University of Illinois before coming to KU.
