Beautiful Queen
May Be Cause of
Glubb’s Dismissal
LO NDON, Uf)—A beautiful
queen was mentioned Saturday as
a possible prime mover in the ac
tion that ousted Lt. Gen. John
Bagot Glubb as head of the Brit
ish-financed Arab Legion.
Soft-eyed Queen Zeine, mother
of British-educated King Hussein
of Jordon, was mentioned here in
newspaper reports as a behind
the scenes influence in the remov
al of the 59-year-old Englishman.
Queen Zeine, 41, a stately brun
ette, is a close friend of the Saudi
Arabian envoy to Jordon. She is
known as a close adviser to her
20-year-old ruling son, who fired
the famed Glubb, pasha of Jor
don’s desert army, Friday.
Saudi Arabian oil money and
Egyptian leadership also were
seen here as figuring prominently
in the ouster which has struck
sparks in the explosive Middle
East.
The expulsion of the command
er of the Arab Legion, finest fight
ing force in the Middle East, was
considered a blow both to British
and American prestige.
Britain is a member of the re
cently organized Baghdad Alli
ance. The U.S. has supported the
pact. The alliance was formed as
a bulwark against Soviet expan
sion into the Middle East. Glubb’s
ou.-ter removed the last faint hope
that Jordan might join the pact.

Record Crowd Sees Climax Game
r
As All-Stars Down Hornets 57 - 40
The Base-City Basketball League i
champs, the Polar Hornets, went i
down in defeat Friday evening at
the hands of the powerful B-C
All-Stars. A record crowd rocked
the gym with cheers and groans
and, all comments considered, the
contest was among the sport high
lights of Nome’s basketball his
tory.
The All-Stars unleashed a com
bination of basketball talent that
proved to be more than the Hor
nets could handle. Final score:
All-Stars 57. Hornets 40.
Capt. Bob Ellis and Arne Castel
took the floor as guards, hustling
Bob Hinson and the Galloping
Ghost, Pete Larsen, worked the
forward slots. Charlie Parris took
the big man’s job at center. The
first quarter was rather slow as
the teams felt each other out. The
first quarter score: All-Stars 9,

in the second quarter and at half
time it was Stars 21, Hornets 16.

tered the game at that point for
the All-Stars. The Hornets showed
signs of life in the third quarter
but the score still read 38-31 for
the Stars. Vince Ahkolik and
Clyde Nershak donned the All
Star red at the start of the last
quarter and, from that point on,
substitutions from the All-Star
bench were continuous. The en
tire squad of 9 men saw action
and combined their individual ef
forts into a team that coaches
dream of.
Hustling Bob Hinson led the
Stars in scoring with 20 points. ’
Ghost Larsen and big Charlie Par
ris followed with 15 each. Capt. j
Bob Ellis added 5 and Bill White

WASHINGTON, Iff)—A group of
i self-styled conservatives, appar
ently dissatisfied with prospec
tive presidential candidates of
both major parties, hopes to qual
ify enough “all-American” elec
tors to threw the election into the
House of Representatives.
Spearheading this drive, it was
disclosed Friday, are some leaders
of an organization which calls it
self “For America.” Their avowed
aim is to bring about the election
of a conservative to the presiden
cy.
Brig. Gen. Bonner Fellers (ret.),
national director of For America,
said “we do not” regard President |
Eisenhower as a conservative. The I
same view was voiced by H. Dan
Smoot, a co-chairman of the or
ganization. Smoot said in Dallas
the plan is “nbt necessarity a 'Stop
Eisenhower’ movement.”
However, Gen. Mark Clark
(ret.) said in Charleson, SC. it
sounded to him “like the creation
of a third party with the objective
| of stopping Ike.” Clark, who has
j been listed as a member of For
I America’s policy committee, said
he didn’t want to be associated
with the move “in any way.”
As Fellers outlined the For Am
erica strategy, “We are now en
I deavoring to align independent
electors. We hope to get enough
southern and northern electors to ,
throw the election into the House |
★ ★★★★★★★★
Under the Constitution, when
no presidential candidate amasses
a clear majority of the electoral
votes, the President is elected by
the House with each state delega
tion entitled to one vote.
According to Neller’s reckon
ing, 12 “unhappy” southern states
could be counted on as a nucleus.
These, together with what he
called “a reasonable number of
northern votes,” might lead to
election of a conservative to tfte
White House, Fellers suggested.
