Exiled Mufti Sounds Plea For "No Reprisals" Over Slain King. Jerusalem, July 22 (Sunday) (INS) Arab riots and demonstrations of protest against the assassination of King Abdullah of Jordan rocked his domain last night, but British Gen. John Bagot Glubb Pasha and his Arab Legion the real power in Jordan during the crisis moved with an iron hand to smash all outbreaks. The exiled Mufti of Jerusalem meanwhile disclaimed responsibility for the slaying of the King and appealed for peace and "no reprisals" in the explosive Arab world over the death of one of the Middle East's most powerful rulers. The former Mufti, in a statement issued in Cairo, termed "baseless" the charges that the Arab "Higher Committee for Palestine" which he leads, was responsible for Abdullah's death.

Gen. Glubb Pasha. 54-year-old Brigadier who built the power of the famed Legion, alerted his troops for any possible attempt to overthrow the new regime in the wake of Arab demonstrations in scat tered parts of Jordan. Rioting also broke out in old Jerusalem after Abdullah's assassin was slain and the king's body returned to Amman for a state funeral tomorrow. LEGION BREAKS CROWDS.

Taft described the Korean conflict tonight as "a useless and expensive war brought about by Truman administration policy." He said a "stalemate peace" in Korea is better than a stalemate war but than an armistice would only "postpone the ultimate danger." Senator Taft unleashed another attack on the administration's foreign policy in a speech prepared for delivery at a Maryland Republican outig which some Washington political quarters viewed as the jump-off for his bid 'or the 1952 GOP presidential nomination. He promised that the GOP would restore "honesty and Integrity to government" after the 1952 election and end "the low moral tone, tha dishonesty and tha inefficiency" of the Democratic administration. That administration has lost the confidence of the country, he said. "For the first time since the early days of the Republic," Senator Taft said, "we are seriously threatened by the power of a foreign nation whose strength was built up by the policies of this administration. "For the first time, we have fought a useless and expensive war, with 80,000 American casualties, a war be-gnn without authority by President Truman on his own initiative.

We are negotiating a peace which only postpones the ultimate danger and admittedly will not reduce the burdens on the people brought about by administration policy." Senator Taft asserted that the administration "cannot escape responsibility for a foreign policy which has brought this country to one of the most dangerous threats in its history." He said concessions made to Russia at the Teheran, Yalta and Potsdam conferences wore inspired by a "stupid fear" that the Soviet Union might make a separate peace with Germany and the "equally stupid assumption" that Russian help was needed to win the war against Japan. China was opened to Communism, Senator Taft sniri, at a time when there was "a strong pro-Communist influence" In the Far Eastern division of the State Department. And, he said, public announcements from the administration "practically invited" a Communist attack on South Korea and Formosa. When the Korean attack came, he said, Mr. Truman "suddenly reversed our policy and without any authority whatever plunged the United States into a costly war." U.

S. Admiral Emphasizes That Agenda Is Set Chinese Step In. N. Y. Times Cable.

Tokyo, July 22 (Sunday) The United Nations delegates at Kae-song yesterday served notice on the Communists that they con-Eider the agenda for discussion of an armistice in the Korean war to have been completed. The delegates ruled out the inclusion of an agreement to withdraw foreign troops from the peninsula as a condition for a cease-fire, it became known today. Details of the UN stand came to light as the meetings in the neutralized city behind enemy lines recessed until Wednesday at Chinese and North Korean request. Pooled dispatches passed through the lumbering Army censorship in Korea disclosed that the chief UN negotiator, Vice Adm. Charles Turner Joy, while he agreed to a postponement in order to allow the Communists to seek further instructions, told them that the program for further talks "should be considered a complete agenda" on the basis of the area of agreement already reached.

HOW'S THAT AGAIN? For the first time since the peace conlerence began on July 10, the Chinese delegates intruded themselves into the proceedings. This was the first indication that the Communists might be willing fo reconsider their position on the UN demand that a withdrawal of troops be excluded from the armistice agenda. Before this session, that UN officials had predicted might be the turning point in the talks, the Chinese had given no indication that they disagreed in any way with the statements read by Korean Gen. Nam II. But this morning while Adm.

Charles Turner Joy was reading a reiteration of the UN position on the withdrawal of troops the Chinese asked for a re-reading of one paragraph. Admiral Joy droned cut the paragraph as though he were reading Naval regulations. The two Chinese delegates went Into an excited huddle with their interpreter, the first time they had shown any emotion at the proceedings. Through their interpreter they spoke briefly to General Nam. The General, who until then had been unyielding on the troops issue, became slightly more reasonable and after speaking for six minutes proposed a recess until July 25 for reconsideration of the proposal.

As far as has been made known only the question of evacuation by UN and Chinese forces plus one other point the nature of which was not disclosed is still at issue between both sides. RADIO HELD OPEN. Admiral Joy, it was stated, informed the CommunisLdelegation thai: the conferences should proceed with detailed discussions of the means of ending the 13-month-old hostilities and agreed to a recess only after the Chinese generals apparently had pressed that course on their chief delegate. Gen. Nam II, Chief of Staff of the North Korean Army.

He informed the enemy negotiators that as far as the United Nations were concerned he "saw ho nped" for a pause to review the UN position. Admiral Joy, Maj. Gen. Laurence C. Craigie, Vice Commander cf the Far East Air Forces, and Rear Adm.

Arleigh Burke, three cf the five-man UN negotiation team, returned to Tokyo last right. It was indicated that most of the Communist delegation also had pulled out of Kaesong until the talks resume. The Chinese and North Koreans agreed to keep open a radio circuit between the conference site and the UN base camp where the UN negotiators have been living behind high barbed-wire entanglement so that arrangements could be made to take up the conversations again at an earlier date than Wednesday if possible. But a liaison officer said that 8,11 or part cf the delegation meant to go to Pyongyang, capital of the Communist North Korean state. rising by supporters ot his older MSgt.

Elliott Oscar, 37, son of Mrs. Ray Scudder, 600 Greenup Covington, was believed to be aboard on the DC-4 which vanished over Alaska yesterday. Mrs. Scudder said last night that. "Air Force officials" had notified Mrs.

Allene Oscar, tie Sergeant's wife, that he was aboard the plane. Sergeant Oscar, a veteran of four years in the Navy and 12 years in the Air Force, had been on furlough from Japan at Mc-Chord Air Force Base, where his wife was being treated for pneumonia, Mrs. Scudder said. In a telephone call last night, Mrs. Oscar told Mrs.

Scudder that her husband had received orders to return to Japan, where he had served in Korean airlift operations since last November. The Oscars have one son and three daughters. The plane was heading for Anchorage on the first leg of its trip to Tokyo. CPA, from whom the Airlift plane was chartered, has a terminus at Cranbrook. "Foul weather" was reported over the area where the plane was swallowed up.

Most of the 31 passengers were American milifary men. The crew of seven included two stewardesses. The big Canadian Pacific Airlines plane was the first to meet disaster in the Airlift's 87 million miles of flying since the outbreak of the Korean war. Rescue planes were poised for another of the Northwest's great air searches when the weather lilts. ICY WATERS SEARCHED.

The 17th U. S. Coast Guard District at Juneau, which is directing the hunt, said the cutters Citrus and Cahoone were scouring the icy mouth of the Gulf of Alaska northward from Cape Spencer. McChord Air Force Base near Tacoma, the stateside terminus for American "Great Circle" Airlift operations, said the DC-4 carried 23 U. S.

An early report that the three civilians were United Nations officials was scotched later by UN headquarters in New York. strike is the Lunchhook, 432 Vine street. Issues in the strike are clear-cut. The union wants to organize the restaurants and the hotel completely. It asserts they are the only downtown places of their kind where liquor is served that are not organized.

Management, on the other hand, insists it does not object to unionization, provided employees wish such organization, but declines to force employees into a union. Both sides have been obstinate in their stands. Management says its business has not suffered by the march of pickets. The union says otherwise and vows to march "for years" if necessary. It is known that management has been waiting for some time for an accumulation of acts of violence sufficient to justify taking the matter to court.

It is understood that the suit to be filed tomorrow will be so broad in its charges and demands that a favorable decision could bring an end of the picketing, at least temporarily. At midnight. last April 29 the union released figures, through its attorney, J. W. Brown, to show that in'the 102 days of the strike to that date, pickets had marched a total of 26.600 miles, almost the estimated distance around the world at its equator.

The five locals in the picketing with a total membership of 7,500, are: Bartenders Local 68, Cooks Local 177, Hotel and Restaurant Employers Iieal 363, Waitresses Local '275 and Waiters Local 72. The first major lgal gantlet will be thrown tomorrow in Common Pleas Court in the strike em-broglio instituted six months and a week ago by five American Federation of Labor Culinary locals against the hotel and three downtown restaurants operated by the Palace Hotel Corp. Management will file a suit asking a permanent injunction against the Cincinnati Joint Executive Board of the Hotel Bnd Restaurant Employees and Bartenders Union (AFL). Although company officials and its attorney, George E. Fee, declined to comment.

The Enquirer learned that the suit would make "broad charges" against the union and ask for numerous bans of alleged acts of violence, and probably on picketing. The suit is expected to charge the union and its members with violence on and off picket lines, intimidation, breaking of windows, bringing about boycotts of certain companies doing business with management, restraint of trade and numerous illegal "acts" during the strike. Word that the suit was prepared for filing came a few hours after bottle of foui-smolling chemical was hurled into the front door of the Palace Hotel Building. Sixth and Vine Sts Friday night.

SYRIAN'S IV SPOTLIGHT. As Abdullah's Arab Legion searched extremist hideouts for fanatics suspected of complicity in the assassination of the little King, attention focused on the Syrian Nationalist party. This organization was held responsible, according to some reports, for the recent slaying of a former Iebanese Premier who had made a friendly visit to Abdullah, and who therefore was under sharp scrutiny for any possible connection with the slaying of the Jordan ruler four days later. Abdullah was the champion of the "Greater Syria" project, In which he had hoied to federal bis own kingdom with that of Svria, Lebanon and Iraq.

The Svrian Nationalists also w-Hnt a Greater Syria Union, but unlike Abdullah, they want Syria to lead it. Abdullah had hoped to rule in his own name the federation he had envisaged. Expectations were the Syrian Nationalists might soon launch a drive to realize their own ambitious goal. The death of Abdullah also may touch off a personal struggle for power in Jordan, between Talai. heir apparent, and Prince Naif, who was named Regent.

The Arab League is believed preparing to exert new pressure on Jordan to cast off its ties with Britain In a drastic change of policy, and Join the Arab Nationlist cause. Old Ghost Schooner Sunk, And With Her Goes Story Of Eccentric Recluse Pair Oatis Merely A Punpet, Drilled On Czech Trial? Testimony Tells Story FLOOD looked tiny against the great dark hull. A blimp flew nearby, and trim sailing boats maneuvered in a light breeze which once wouldn't have been enough to stir the rigging of the "Sneatind." Old hands along the waterfront told again the story of the woman who lived aboard the old wreck. But why she lived there, the old hands didn't know, INSIDE THE ENQUIRER: Page Section Three Page News Section Auto News S6 Camera News Editorials Haynes Hlnkle IflRIH Court News 22 9 Local Pass Iogs Farm News 241 Luke Mvluke 1 Garden News 40 Boston, July 21 (AP) An old dead schooner, with a patch of flowers on her black deck, was sent to the bottom of the sea today, and a strange story went down with her. The worm-eaten hulk of the "Sneatind" once as proud a four-master as ever sailed was burned and sunk in a ships' graveyard off Boston Light.

The little flower patch is part of the strange story. It was once the garden of a woman who withdrew from fashionable Long Island society and lived fn strict seclusion aboard the "Sneatind" for about 10 years. The woman was Mrs. Ann win-sor Sherwin, divorced wife of Louis Sherwin, a widely known playwright and author at the turn of the century. She lived with her son William, in a corner of the huge hull of the 245-foot vessel.

They let it be known that they wanted no intruders. Together they defied an eviction order and were upheld by a court. The "Sneatind" was pretty much of a wreck when she became home to the Sherwins, but for years they lived there, moored off Castle Island in Boston Harbor. In 1935 a gale tore the wreck from her moorings and smashed her aground on Spectacle Inland where she has been ever since. The Sherwins escaped injury in the storm and lived on their lonely ghost ship until the 1940s.

William was drafted then. It was illness which finally brought Mrs. Sherwin ashore. Now about 80, she is reported living somewhere in Virginia. The Army condemned the old hulk as a shipping menace and ordered her wrecked.

On her last voyage, with nothing left aboard to suggest the tall masts and strong sails, the old schooner still gave the waterfront good show. Saturday bathers lined beaches as she passed, pulled at the end of a long hawser by a tug which Big Day For Royalty! Begins Tapering Off. St. Louis Loss Is Estimated At $12.5 Million Crest Seen At About 40.3 Feet. N.

Y. Times Special. St. Louis, July 21 The floodtide poured into the Mississippi River by its rampaging biggest tributary, the Missouri River, appeared today to be flattening out and losing its velocity and lessening the danger to critical levees and low-lying land in this area. At the same time, the Mississippi's thriving river traffic above St.

Louis came to a standstill when Army Engineers took the main lock at Dam No. 26 at Alton. 111., out of operation because of the flood waters. The auxiliary lock at the Alton dam has been out for a week and the main lock had to be closed to save the electric motors which operate the lock gates. Water was lapping at the top of the big Kates when the motors were removed.

With the Mississippi at or near its predicted crest of 40.3 or 10.3 feet above flood stage and the second highest flood mark in 107 years, unofficial es'irnateF of the damage in the metropolitan area rose to $12.5 million. This, on top of the Army Engineer's estimate of $875 million damage in the Kansas and Missouri basins earlier this week, would bring the total flood loss to $887.5 million. There still remained several danger spots above and below St. Louis. At least 25,000 more icres of fertile farm land were threatened.

Conway L. Briscoe, Director of Public Utilities for the city, said danger to the city's pumping stations appeared to have passed. Washington, July 21 (INS) The State Department charged today that no evidence was offered at the Czech trial of William N. Oatis, American newsman, to support his conviction for spying against the Communists. A bulky transcript of the testimony made public by the State Department contained evidence at four separate points that Oatis's answers were drilled into him by his Red jailers.

In each instance, he parroted the same apparently-rehearsed phrase. Oatis, an Associated Press correspondent, was sentenced on July 4 to 10 years' imprisonment on the espionage charges. State Department officials said the transcript showed clearly that he was convicted for carrying out a legitimate news-gathering assignment the purpose for which the Czechoslovak government admitted him. The first time Oatis used phrasing which apparently was rehearsed the Prosecutor listed nine of his Czech acquaintances and asked him: "Of the people named, do you know something of their political attitudes." Oatis replied: "These people were enemies of the peoples' democracies, they were enemies of the kind of state that was established after 1945, and particularly of the economic and political system after 1948." Later, when asked about Vlasta Pankova, another Creeh friend: "I gathered from hef letter and conversation that she was a person who disliked people's democracies so I decided I could use her In my espionage work." Again, concerning Helen Kucerova: "I gathered that she was an enemy of the Peoples Democracy and that I would be able to use her in my espionage work." Again, this time about Jiri Mucha: "I gathered that he was an enemy of the people's democracies and I concluded that I could use him for my espionage work. The transcript also shows that at one point in the trial, the translator became confused and began reading questions and answers before they actually were made.

The State Department record notes: "The Prosecutor leaped into the pause and said that we will come to that after Mr. Oatis ha declared himself of Stat Department officials said flatly that Oatis' testimony revealed no activities which any government outside the Iron Curtain would call espionage. The quen-tioning was designed to show him guilty because he tried, to uncover information suppressed by the Communists. Lausche Has Look At Ohio Guardsmen In Wisconsin Camp Camp McCoy, July 21 (AP) Governor Lausche of Ohio inspected the honor guard of the Ohio 37th Infantry Division, Ohio National Guard, today. The Governor visited units of the division in cantonment areas also.

He arrived here yesterday in time to witness final attacks in the three-day maneuvers. Ma j. Gen. Leo M. Kreber, Commander of the 37th, and Brig.

Gen. Frederick B. Butler, Camp McCoy Commander, greeted the Governor.
