...money was raised, Sheik Abdullah as Salim as Sabah of oil-rich Kuwait left the horse shoe conference table for the men's room. But last week Sabah pledged $4,500,000 a year for five years to the Arab war chest, and Egypt, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Morocco and Yemen joined in, raising the total commitments to $14 million annually for the next five years...
...those on a hamburger budget, most foreign pavilions have food stands selling specialties of their country at hamburger prices. The United Arab Republic serves falafel (50?), a bean feast that tastes like a spicy meat sandwich. Morocco serves mint tea and pastry ($1) in carpeted tents. Try the Belgian Village's crepe-suzette shop where a Grand Marniered pancake costs 75?, or India's chicken pakora and clay-oven-baked bread (45?) served on the lawn by a turbaned chef. International Plaza, a noisy cluster of small shops and food stands, offers a culinary Cook's Tour...

Purposeful Arms. Prince Feisal will probably try to keep the Yemen issue off the Arab summit's agenda and may be supported by the more or less conservative Arab states of Sudan, Libya, Tunisia and Morocco. Nasser's effort to get Arab backing for his Yemen stand against "the British imperialists and Saudi infiltrators" may be backed by Algeria, Kuwait, and his new-found bosom friend, King Hussein of Jordan. Syria, whose Baathist rulers detest Nasser, and Lebanon, which hates quarrels, will probably stay on the sidelines...
