AFGHAN'S KING IS
 MAKER 0F HISTORY
Frock and Coat Worn Changes
 M0Slem Customs

Cairo, Egypt, May (CP)--A gray frock coat and silk hat, worn by King Amanullah of Afghanistan on his visit here, and a Paris frock worn by his queen, have changed Moslem history.
 Interested fn King
 The entire Mohammedan world was interested in King Amanullah's 5 tour. For the first time in years Islam was to see an independen; Mohammedan sovereign-a possible candidate for the vacant caliphate. long occupied by sultans of Turkey.
 When Amanullah arrived here. the doctors of Ay Azhar university. which has trained theologians for all Islam for nine centuries, turned their eyes eNpectantly upon him.
 What they expected to Sec, no one can tell. But they certainly did not expect 10 see 1sldm's only independ- cnt sovereign clad in gray frock coat and silk hat. exactly like his cXccllency Lord Lloyd. the British high commissioner in Egypt. Neither did they expect to See his queen in anything but the yelled and envel- oping garments Of the strictly ortho- doN Mohammedan woman of past generations.
 In their surprise and bewilderment the learned doctors could only de- duce that the journey of the king and queen was undertaken at the in- stigation of the British. who wanted Amanullah to become caliph. That meant that he was not really inde- pendent.
 The surprise of the doctors turned to indignation when King Amanul- lah attended the mosque of Al Azhar wearing q hat He and his queen were accused of having adopted inc abominablc hcresics of President Mustafa Kennel. of Turkey, who de- posed the sultan.
 Doctors Turn Back
 The doctors, who might in other circumstances have advanced Aman- u!lah as the successor of the sultans in the caliphate, turned back to Abdul Medjid of Turkey. They have declared their allegiance to him alone until such time as the Moslenl world might choose someone else to succeed him. There the caliphate question remains.
 When Amanullah started his tour. he was perhaps the only man in the Moslem world who fulfilled all re- quirements for caliph. Abdul Med ids restoration to the throne of his ancestors would have meant ac- knowledgmcnt of hts leadership by most of the Moslem world. But there is no prospect of that. and the caliph must be independent. He is not strictly spiritual leader. but q sort of moral king and arbiter, helping to reconcile differences and prevent discord-a symbol of the fraternity of the faith.

 There were several rivals for the caliphate, all calling themselves commander of the faithful But to
