That much courted Arab potentate, King Saud, passing luxuriously through Beirut en route to the waters of Baden-Baden, felt the same way, and though the State Department, in beating a later retreat, indignantly denied that King Saud had personally advised the Eisenhower Administration to take it easy, the denial was only narrowly true...

Last week Saudi Arabia announced that its old rival, the Hashemite Kingdom of Iraq, has granted it permission to tap the Iraqi river Euphrates for drinking water. Under their $28 million plan, cleared during King Saud's state visit to Baghdad last May, the oil-rich Saudis will hire international contractors to draw some 35 million gallons daily at a point near the site of ancient Ur, purify it at the riverside plant, and pipe it some 450 miles across the gravel plains, the heat...
