Moslem monarch of the hour, he bore all the prestige of the ruler of Islam's heartland and of the world's richest oil lands, reinforced by a resplendent reception in Washington. After regal stops in Spain and North Africa, he wall head toward Nasser's Cairo. There the two leaders of the Arab world will meet-with their allies President Kuwatly of Syria and King Hussein of Jordan-to hear of Saud's magic-carpet travels...
