The magic carpet which brought
Abdul -Aziz Ibn Saud, King of Saudi
Arabia, to see President Roosevelt
near Cairo recently was a United

statement revealed today.
The beared 6-foot- t-4-inch mon
arch lived in tent with Oriental
rugs and gilded chairs on the de-
stroyer's forecastle deck during q
voyage that for the first time took
him from his native desert, his CSC
wives and his so or more children
At the rear was sheep pen to pro-
vide food for the royal party.
The paragraphs on Ibn Saud from
the White House statement read like

The Arabian monarch had trav-
eled more than 800 miles from the
Red Sea port Of Jidda in order
that he might meet the President
It was the first time in his life that
he had left his country's soil and
this was interpreted by members
OF his party as an unprecedentec
honor for the visiting Chief Execu-
tive Of the United States. #

''The President and the King con-

An Associated Press dispatch from
Cairo disclosed that the Kings party
brought all its own food which was
cooked on hraziers on the ships
deck. Live sheep were kept in q
pen on the destroyer's stern. The
first night the King entertained all
the American oflicers at dinner.
They squatted on the deck and ate,

of other breziers held food for the
Arabs not entitled to dine with the
monarch. Ten guards carrying

particular tribes, attended the King.
During the night Ibn Saud saw two

Bill 10 Draft Nurses
Is Given Approval
By House Committee
Measure Will Affect
Single Women Between
Ages of 20 and As
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

:
The May bill authorizing the
Selective Service System to draft
unmarried nurses for the armed
forces was approved today by
the House Military Affairs Com
tmittee.
Chairman May plans to bring 1t
before the House at an early date.
| AS amended by the committee, the
measure provides that all registered
or graduate nurses between the ages
Of 20 and As shall be registered un-
der the Selective Service Act and
may be inducted into the Army OF
Navy under certain restrictions laid
down in the bill.
Unregistered Nurses Included.
The bill hberalizes the present
\ practice TO the extent OF taking
qualified" nurses who may not be
registered with State or territorial
boards. This also would make avail
able considerable number Of grad
uate nurses who must wait until
their 21st birthday to register
Under the bill, any nurse who had
graduated from school of nursing
and reached the age of 20 could be
examined for possible induction
Up to this time the armed services
havesaccepted only registered nurses
The bill prohibits draft boards
from inducting eligible civilian
nurses until all qualified graduates
of the United States Cadet Nurse
Corps in each community have
been taken. A last-minute change
which the committee made in the
bill provides that while the draft
would apply only to unmarried
nurses, any qualified nurse, whether
married or single. could volunteer.
| VINO Approval Necessary.
Another clause provides that nc
civilian nurse shall be classified by
a local draft board as available for
service if she has been declared by
the Procurement and Assignment
Service of the War Manpower Com
mission essential in her civilian pest
This provision. the bill states. is "to
assure that the Nations limited
nursing skills are wisely utilized and
that the national health and safety
is protected against unwarranted de-
pletion of essential nursing services. ,
The same section prohibits the in
duction of any nurse employed at q
veterans hospital unless she has
been released by the veterans ad-
ministrator This provision does not
apply to graduating students of the
Cadet Nurse Corps, some of whom
take their last six months training
in veterans hospitals.
The bill also makes eligible fol

from the smaller hospitals. The
measure states that none is to be
disqualified merely because the
