More Trouble Brewing in Middle East Area By PHIL NEWSOM United Press Foreign Analyst The man rated as the greatest Arab since Mohammed is ill and more trouble is brewing in the Middle East. Trouble in addition to the dispute between Israel and Jordan, the dispute between Iran and Britain over oil and the dispute between Egypt and Britain over Suez. This one involves Americans. The man is 73-year-old, six-feet-four King Ibn Saud who conquered Neld and the Hejaz, with the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, to form the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and to take possession of a land mass extending from the Perian Gulf to the Red Sea. And incidentally, to win control of one of the richest oil pools in the world. Saud's Grip Weakening But now Ibn Saud's grip is weakening after more than 50 years of iron rule. And, perhaps as result of his weakness, the first serious strikes are plaguing the American-Arabian Oil Company which pour into the Saudi Arabian treasury (meaning Ibn Saud's own pockets) more than $200,000,000 a year. The fact that the workers would dare to strike is in itself indicative because strikes are outlawed in Saudi Arabia where justice is swift and often harsh under the dictates of the Koran. The penalty for murder is decapitation by the sword, for theft amputation of the left hand at the wrist, for drunkenness, 80 lashes of the whip, for adultery, burial to the waist in the sand and stoning to death.

Story Book Figure Ibn Saud is a figure out of Arabian nights. His is a story of shard-riding desert Bedouins who shot from the saddle and existed for days at a time on a mere handful of sdates. Already controlling the greatest land mass of any Arab kingdom, Ibn Saud might have been the man to unite all the world's 50,000,000 Arabs. However, internationally he has been content usually to side with Egypt and to carry on a running feud with the Hashemite kingdoms of Jordan and Iraq. Results Are the Proof of News paper Circulation. LOS ANGELES (UP)—Twenty-two American prisoners of war who have refused repatriation "are not Americans, they are Communists," says the National Commander of the Veterans of SForeign Wars. Wayne E. Richards, who arrived here yesterday from a tour of the Far East, said he doubted even their mothers could convince them they are wrong." However, Joseph Carnella, state commander of the Illinois VFW, disagreed with Richards' statement that the prisoners who refused repatriation should be permitted "to go to China." "I firmly believe everything should be done to get those boys home," Carnella said. HILGENFELD MORTUARY Faithful, Courteous, Service 120 E.

(up) — Doctors, recalling the 1948 smog tragedy at Donora, Pa., kept close check today on townspeople with hacking coughs and headaches caused by inhaling a foul smoke that has blanketed this area for a week. The heavy pall from a burning sewage disposal bed forced motorists to use headlights far into the day and was turning white houses yellow. Doctors said there was no emergency, although respiratory cases at hospitals were reported having difficulty breathing. Nearly everyone in the city of 50,000 was feeling some effect—coughing, nasal irritation, or headaches. Firemen were pouring millions of gallons of water on the six-acre sludge beds which caught fire a week ago and have been burning like peat bogs ever since. Clouds of steam generated by the water added to the thick overcast which hid the sun. THEIR LITTLE PRINCESS—The Princess Fatemeh her American husband. Vincent Hillyer, proudly she newest.

McMahan's FURNITURE STORES Gov. Knight Asks Review of State’s $7 Million Civil Defense Program SAN FRANCISCO (UP)— Gov. Goodwin J. Knight, who took office two weeks ago with a promise of economy in government, today asked for a thorough review of California's seven million dollar civil defense program. Speaking at a noontime meeting of the League of California Cities, Knight said that "Between October 1980 and the present date, the Legislature has authorized $10,655,233 for the office of civil defense. Of this total, nearly seven millions have been spent or committed, and most of the balance probably will be expended during the remainder of this fiscal year." "In view of these huge expenditures, I think it is high time that we thoroughly review our entire civil defense program to see if it is essential that we continue indefinitely at the present high level," Knight said. Knight did not criticize the CD office or its work. But he asked the league to "make an analysis" of the program and its costs, and a recommendation. On other subjects, Knight said he intended to discuss rapid growth in "fringe areas" and problems of subdivision and construction standards with the real estate commissioner, D. D. Watson. Highway Problems Knight promised "dirt will continue to fly" on highway construction "as long as I am governor." He urged large cities to process with mass rapid transit studies to relieve the traffic jam. He commended nine Bay Area counties for joining toward a master transit plan. Richard Graves, executive director of the league, said yesterday there should be a single state department of transportation to tackle highway, freeway and transit problems. Addressing a gathering of public works officers, Graves opposed the division on state road money into separate state highway, county and city street funds as "unsound and wasteful." "The problem is to devise an integrated system of mainline state highways, primary county roads and major city streets which must effectively serve our transportation requirements," he said.
