...Kishi, ignoring wails from his political opponents, included Formosa in his tour of Southwest Asia, talked with Chiang, and on his return to Tokyo announced that Japan had no plans to recognize Peking "in the foreseeable future." Scheduled to visit Chiang this fall: Iraq's Crown Prince Abdul Illah and Turkish Premier Adnan Menderes...
Several times a week he visits the palace, which counts for a good deal in Iraqi politics by reason of its currently close ties with the army and the suave intriguing of Crown Prince Abdul Illah. (Unlike his cousin Hussein in Jordan, 22-year-old King Feisal is not yet a force in state decisions.) The old Pasha also visits his Defense Ministry desk, but these days his greatest interest is lavished on the work of the Iraq Development Board, which he watches over like a proud mother...
...between a regal round of banquets and state feasts the two Kings, as well as Iraqi Crown Prince Abdul Illah and Iraq's staunchly pro-Western Premier Nuri asSaid, got down to the business at hand: Soviet penetration, via Syria and Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser, of the Middle East.

Altogether it was a concert...
...Arabians. The State Department expects King Saud to tell President Eisenhower this week that only Saud can save Jordan, and that the only way to do it is to give him the money to pay Jordan. On Saud's heels will come Iraq's Crown Prince Abdul Illah, who will undoubtedly argue that the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan should be linked with Hashemite Iraq. Neighboring Syria would also like to gobble up Jordan in a greater Syria. The U.S. may soon find that the first task of its new Middle Eastern policy will be to arbitrate the fate...
