Pact Opposed By Jordan Mob
More than 200 demonstrators Gaza marched on the offices of Jordan's new Prime Minister demanding a pledge the government would not sign the Baghdad Pact. Arab Legion troops used tear gas to scatter about 400 rioters amid six days of unrest in Amman. Mobs attacked the U S consulate in Jerusalem, tore down the American flag, and called for political prisoner releases, free speech, and a free press ahead of elections. Prime Minister Ibrahim Hashim formed a caretaker government and kept the pact issue off the agenda. Twenty Americans sought refuge in the Jerusalem consulate.
