JORDAN UNDER FULL CURFEW

Hussein Retains Control

(N.Z. Press Association— Copyright) (Rec. 11 p.m.) AMMAN, April 26. Amman today is a “dead” city. Armed guards patrol its silent, barricaded streets to enforce a 24-hour curfew clamped down by King Hussein. Martial law, backed by the guns of Britishtrained Bedouin troops, appeared to have beaten the disorders which threatened to plunge Jordan into chaos, the American Associated Press said. The curfew was enforced all over Jordan as the King dissolved all political parties, arrested some of the country’s top Left-wing leaders and set up a Government of independents.

Attention today was focused on Cairo after Iraq’s reported demand for Syrian troops to quit northern Jordan.
