Rioting Arabs
Protest Jordan in
Baghdad Pact
AMMAN, Jordan, (£*>—An Arab
mob of 2,000 stormed the U.S. con
sulate in the old city of Jerusalem
yesterday and ripped down the
American flag in demonstrations
against Jordan joining the Bagh
dad pact.
Violence erupted also in Am
man, capital of Jordan, despite
King Hussein’s action dissolving
Parliament and calling for new
elections in an attempt to restore
order. There was some bloodshed.
Windows were smashed in the
consulate building before troops
of Jordan’s Arab Legion fired into
the air and dispersed the rioters.
Police roped off the building and
prevented the rioters from enter
ing in large numbers.
Before dispersing, the mob* set
fire to a car near the consulate j
building.
Earlier, angry Arabs roaming
the old city stormed the jail and
set tree prisoners arrested in ear
lier riots.
The French consulate also came
under attack. Staff members fled
to the rooftop as the troops scat
tered the demonstrators.
The situation calmed after cars,
with loudspeakers announced that
Premier Hazza El Majali had re
signed. Dissolution of Parliament
automatically caused the fall of
the government.
A report received at U.N. head
quarters in Beirut said a mob tried
to march on King Hussein’s palace
in Amman but -was repelled with
several casualties.
11 Airmen Killed in Two Collisions
Of Air Force Planes Over Florida
(By the Associated Press’ <3
Four Air Force planes collided
in two separate accidents over
Florida Monday and brought
death to 11 airmen. Three men
were missing.
Eight men died when two B-47
jet bombers collided over the out
skirts of Tampa. Flaming wreck
age showered the countryside. One
of the planes was from MacDill
Air Force Base at Tampa and the
other from Pinecastle AFB near
Orlando.
A few hours later a D-86D
Sabre jet smashed into a B-29
bomber in the air over Port St.
Joe, about 200 miles up the Florida
west coast, and killed three fliers.
Three others were missing. Both
planes were from Tyndall AFB at
Panama City, Fla.
The Tampa planes fell danger
ously close to a trailer park. Ter
rified residents said they thought
an eathquake had stuck. One
plane exploded on contact and the
other seconds later.
Spokesmen said the accident ap
parently occurred when the Mac
Dill plane was having trouble with
its landing gear and the Pinecastle
craft flew underneath to take a
look. This is often done.
Then both must have hit a
downdraft, causing them to col
lide. Two crewmen tried to jump
to safety, but their chutes failed
to open in the short space to the
ground.
The wreckage fell about half a
mile from the trailer park and set
fire to a pine thicket. Thirteen
children were left fatherless in
the holiday season tragedy.
A portion of the B-29 bomber
. ■ '
s --—-—-—
wreckage fell about five miles
west of Port St. Joe, on busy U.S.
98, and barely missed a dozen
beach houses.
A part of the wreckage ripped
the shirt off an unidentified man
who was helping his family, .into
their car. He was not hurt.
Witnesses said two or three par
achutes were seen after the crash.
Search parties went into the wood
ed area to hunt wreckage of the
jet plane.
Unofficial reports said the jet
was acting as an interceptor on a
simulated bombing run by the
B-29 and the pilot apparently mis
judged the distance between the
two planes.
