ABDULLAH WAS SLAIN
BY A TAILOR
Second Son Appointed
To The
Regency
Amman, July 20.
King Abdullah of Jordan was shot and killed instantaneously in Old Jerusalem today. The assassin, who was killed by the King's body- guard, was later identified as a tailor of the Old City of Jerusalem, whose name was given here as Mustafa Shakri Ashshu.
It was stated that during the Arab-Jewish war he belonged to the "dynamite squad" of the Arab irregular force, which was associated with the ex-Mufti of Jerusalem.
The assassin was hiding behind the main gate of the El Aqsa
Thorez Mosque when the King arrived for prayers.

In any event, as Mr Dean Acheson has forcefully stated, if there is an effective armistice, the United Nations forces must remain in Korea until genuine perice has been firmly established and the Korean people have an assurance that they can work out their future free from fear of aggression.
