A spokesman declared that since World War II the Soviet Union "has subjected ten once independent nations to its rule." His implication appeared to be that the Reds have been trying to gain domination of Jordan.
State Department press officer Lincoln White made the charge of foreign intervention at a news conference in response to requests for U.S. government reaction to charges made in Moscow yesterday.
The Soviet Foreign Ministry had declared that the United States was primarily responsible for any "grave consequences" that might arise from the Jordanian crisis.

But unless the balance of $29,228,000 is restored, Dulles told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee, "there would be harm to the nation which, in the opinion of the President and myself, would be real and grievous."
