AGGRESSION BY RADIO

IN 1957, when Jordan's King Hussein was desperately struggling to preserve his throne, Radio Cairo kept up a steady and strident barrage: "Death to the traitors who rule Jordan!"--and suggested that Hussein "receive the same fate as his grandfather," who was assassinated. Similar chants have since poured forth against the leaders of Lebanon and Iraq. A recent sampler of Cairo's aggression by radio:

May 2. "Arise, my brethren on the police force and in its army in Iraq! Stand side by side with your brothers and your people against your enemies. The freedom of Iraq is in your hands."

May 20. "My brothers in Lebanon, there is no other way before you than the revolution to achieve your hopes. There is no other way but for you to rise and fight."

May 25. "Chamoun is a criminal. He adores everything foreign and hates everything Arab."

May 28. "Chamoun must go! So strike again and again, beloved Lebanese people. Tomorrow Chamoun and every Chamoun will fall, and the Arab people will dictate their desires."

June 4. (Radio Damascus): "U.S. policy now shows its true nature--a serpent sinking venom into innocent bodies . . . The spirits of Hitler and Mussolini have now entered the body of Secretary of State Dulles, who has now become a Nazi and a Fascist."

June 7. The Lebanese government "represents only the conspiratorial gangs who throw explosives, kill free men, blow up houses and protect spies, traitors and agents."

July 3. "Jordan has become a large prison ever since King Hussein declared his open opposition to the nationalist movement. The most severe means of torture and oppression have become the weapons of the government, the treacherous government."

July 15. "Do you see how the Hashemite crown fell, how the walls of the big prison collapsed, and how the imperialist stooges met their most horrible fate? . . . They [had] crammed prisons with free men. They used every kind of torture . . ."
