14 (UP) The youthful Kings of Iraq and Jordan signed their countries into a one-flag "Arab Federal nation" today and named King Feisal of Iraq as its head. The union will give the two pro-Western Arab states a single constitution, federal government, foreign office and army but will permit King Hussein of Jordan and Feisal to retain their crowns as rulers of their countries' Internal affairs. Although both are 22 years old and are of equal rank as cousins in the Hashemite family, Hussein gave Feisal the title of head of the federal government because Iraq is the larger and stronger nation.

It aeems that the bonds could be held In abeyance until things are worked out." Further discussing the city's position, Farrell declared: "If Council wants to repeal the ordinance, it can be done by a simple majority.

"If the bonds are not Issued by July 15, when the new budget has to be In, we would get into budgetary complications, which would almost make it necessary as a practical matter to repeal the ordinance and pass a new one." MORE STUDY URGED The Crosley statement which upset proponents of the plan to provide 2600 parking spaces expressed appreciation of the club's directors for cooperation of Council. Harrell and the County Stadium Advisory Committee. "Since the club is not entertaining any thoughts of moving its franchise at this time, it is felt that greater study should be made of some items in the contract proposed by the city, particularly boundaries of the area in which property might be purchased, the statement said. "Some of the areas within the boundaries are too distant to Crosley Field to be practical for (Mayor Clancy said later that the boundaries listed were selected merely to have something to work on, and that the, city intended to consult with the baseball club on suitability of any property before purchases.

Mack, contending accusations against him are without foundation, asked the subcommittee today for an early opportunity to testify. Mack said he has volunteered to cooperate fully with the FBI in an investigation ordered by Atty. Gen. William P. Rogers in tbe wake of Schwartz's testimony.

He told reporters he has given no thought to resigning his Federal Communications Commission post.

Although Crosley did not name the "obstacles that have been placed in the way of the city," it was assumed he referred to the efforts of the West End Community Council to obtain sufficient signatures on petitions by February 21 to force a vote on the $2 million bond issue in the November election.

Somewhat flabbergasted, city officials hastened to announce that no money would be expended for buying property to carry out the plan until the Cincinnati Baseball Club Co. affixed signatures on the agreement, OFFICIALS COMMENT These comments were made immediately: City Manager C. A. Harrell: "I would not go forward with the purchase of property unless instructed to do so by City Council." Mayor Donald D. Clancy: "I would want an ironclad agreement before spending any money on the plan proposed in the ordinance." City Solicitor James W.

Far-rell: "As a practical matter, the bonds wouldn't be issued unless the contract required is signed." The ordinance authorizing issuance of S2 million in bonds to pay for the additional parking space is due to effective February 21.

You know clso, that changes have been made 'n contracts before final signing.

Ambassador Amory Houghton to his home in Paris for a talk on the situation. Paris dispatches said they may have discussed a U. S.

mediation effort. Bourguiba has said he would accept mediation, but French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau said earlier in the day that France did not want mediation. A French Foreign Ministry spokesman said the Gaillard-Houghton talk had been very friendly and that the United States was making discreet diplomatic efforts to ease the tension. Pineau, however, said the United States has made no mediation offer. In Washington, Secretary of State Jahn Foster Dulles disclosed he might cut short his seaside vacation and return Monday to take personal command of American efforts to settle the Tunisia-French dispute.

Dulles' change in vacation plans reflected mounting American fear that new violence might break out in Tunisia if peace-making steps are delayed. TUNIS, Feb. 14 Tunisia clamped a police blockade on three French consulates today but otherwise applied calming measures to prevent a dangerous explosion. A government spokesman disclosed that food supplies were being allowed to get through to the 13,000 French soldiers barricaded in their bases.

Tunisians claim 79 men, women and children were killed and many more wounded in Sakiet. Bourguiba reinforced diplomatic pressure by stationing police guards before three French consulates at Gafsa, Medjez and Le Kef, thus putting the consular officials under the same restrictions as the French military.
