By james Y. Newton

named board of inquiry to in
vestigate the dispute over a new
contract between John L. Lewis
United Mine Workers and soft
coal operators in a move de-
signed to head off a possible
mine strike next month.
Meanwhile, in District Court, Jus
tice T. Alan Goldsborough heard
attorneys for both sides argue the
issue of pensions for miners and an
nounced he would give decision at
10 m. Tuesday. The judges de-
cision could prove the key to the
deadlocked UMW-operator negotia-
tions for a contract to replace the
present one, expiring June 80.
Mr.. Truman acted under the ma
tional emergency provision of the
Taft Hartley Act. After the new
board makes its report to the White
House, Attorney General Clark is
authorized to apply for a Federal
court injunction against strike.
Lawyer Heads Board.
The board is composed of the fol-
lowing: David L. Cole, lawyer, OF
Paterson. N. j.. as chairman: E.
Wight Bake, professor of economics
at Yale University, and Waldo E.
Fisher, professor of industrial rela-
tions. at the. University Of Pennsyl-
vania. ..s...-.4.
Mr.. Truman asked the board to
report by next "Wednesday.
Justice Goldsborough heard the
suit of Ezra Van Horn, operators
trustee for the UNIV welfare and
retirement fund, to invalidate the
Bridses-Lewis plan for payment OF
500 monthly pensions to miners "a
and older. Senator Bridges. Re-
publican, Of New Hampshire, is the
third and neutral trustee OF the
fund.
Judge Rebukes Van Horn.
Toward the end Of the hearing,
while Attorney John Lord OBrian
was arguing Mr.. Van Horns case.
the Judge informed the attorney
that his client was improperly in
court, and for while it appeared
the case might be tossed out.
Mr.. Van Horn had brought suit
as representative OF the mine opera
tors on the Welfare Fund Board
OF Trustees. The Judge said that
Mr.. Van Horn should have come
into court just as 4 trustee for the
welfare fund. He added that once
Mr.. Van Horn accepted the job
he became a representative of the
fund and not of the operators.
Justice Goldsborough agreed to
allow Mr.. O'Brian to make neces-
sary amendments to the papers be-
fore the decision is given Tuesday.
The judge said he wished to con-
slider the case on its merits and
not throw it out on a technicality.
Walter M. Bastian and A. K.
Shipe. representing Mr.. Lewis and
Senator Bridges, argued that Mr..
Van Horn had obstructed activa-
ton OF the 1947 contract welfare
fund-now totaling nearly $4,000
900.
Opposes Veto Power.
Mr. Shipe urged tthe judge to rule
that the trustees should decide
issues Of pensions and other well
fare benefits from the fund as they
see them and should not be subject
to Mr.. Van Horns veto. Mr.. Lewis
and Senator Bridges have voted to-
gether on most fund issues and Mr..
Van Horn has opposed them.
Mr.. Bastain referred to Mr.. Van
Horn as Charlie Mccarthy Of the
operators and said he had tried
to be "Gromyko" in his use of the

plane had crashed two days pre-
viously in rugged mountain country
IS miles northwest of Fort Nelson,
British Columbia.
On Way to Georgetown Prep.
Michael was on his way to Wash

It was under the protection of the
local Sheikh Of, Kuweit, a small
principaltty at the head of the
Persian Gulf, that Abdul Aziz 1bn
Saud grew up. As soon as he had
arrived at mans estate he showed
the dynamic genius that was in him
by organizing a small body of faith
full followers and striking success
fully for the recovery OF his pat
rimony.
The Nejd was thus recovered, but
the Rashidi maintained themselves
in the shammar. Presently, along
came World War I, in which the
Rashidi sided with the Turks while
saud automatically supported Brit
ain. That insured British subsidies
while the Rashidi got nothing but
grief and went very much on the
defensive.
After 1918 the situation got more
complicated During the war Brit

Mecca and Medina. The Husseinis
had been hostile to the Sauds ever
since the latter had captured the
holy cities more than a century be-
fore and had held them until driven
out by the Turco- Egyptians. Brit
ain showed its favor at the peace
settlement by recognizing the Grand
Sheriff as King of the Hedjaz.

In current discussions OF the
Arab world, attention is generally
focused upon the various countries
which compose It, upon the person.
alities of their leaders, or upon
such manifestations of solidarity
as the Arab League. In other words,
these Arabic lands are looked
upon by most Americans as a
group of kindred nations much like
a similar grouping in Latin
America, with certain blood and
cultural ties in common, yet with
their distinct national individuali-
ties not too different from those of
the west.
This viewpoint of ours, however,
involves two important miscon-
ceptions. One relates to their
nationhoods. All present Arab
states are more or less recent Gre
ations, based upon political and
diplomatic happenings, which rem
der them relatively artificial in
character. That involves the en-
tire course of Middle Eastern affairs
since the disruption of the Ottoman
Empire in World War I. The second
misconception is concerned with the
very nature Of the Arab peoples
and the way in which this affects
their internal politics, social make
up and racial psychology.
One of the most outstanding, and
certainly the most persistent char
acteristic of the Arabs, is their
patriarchal tribalism. The same Is
true of other Semitic peoples. One

Recently he lost small govern

the door of his dingy fiat. Un-
washed dishes, and scraps Of furni-
ture that must have dated from
his youth, cluttered the room be-
hind him.
His political stand is far to the
left. Marcel Longuet considers
himself q better Marxist than the
Communists or the Socialists.

Parliamentary democracy is
necessary" he said. The parties
in France today are In . terrible
mess, full of careerists. But q
strong democracy needs an oppo-
sition, it needs Communists, just as

questions about Russia and Ameri-

said he had not studied either.

International agencies. such as

tect ancient Jerusalem from the

Arabs and Jews in Palestine.
No one place is more closely linked

cient settlement are such antiquities
as the Jewish Wailing Wall which
some believe to be a remnant of the
temple built by King Solomon; also

'ence in the form of republics. But
there, as elsewhere in Araby, We
discern ia complex rivalry between
clan-families. That is likewise true
of the Palestinian, Arabs. We hear
much of the Grand Mufti OF Jeru-
salem who has long been such a
stormy petrol in Palestinian poll
tics. The Grand Mufti is head Of a
leading family, likewise named Hus-
semi. But it has a hereditary
rival in the shape OF the Nahashibi
These enduring rivalries undoubt-
edly weaken the ability of the Arab
world to harmonic its internal
differences and work enduringIy for
a common end. To be sure, tenn
porary cooperation may occur
under stress of a common chal-
lenge, such as the Arabs feel in
zionism. Yet behind any such
temporary alliance lurk the seeds
of discord as to who shall lead and
how the spoils of victory shall be
apportioned.
1t is doubtless true that the Arab
lands are open to the winds of
change. Western ideas, western
methods and western development
of hitherto latent natural re-
sources, such as the oil Of the Nejd
and Of Mosul, appear to be awaken
ing both a national and q social
consciousness in Araby which ulti-
mately may weaken tribal loyalties
and transform the lives Of these
peoples more along western pat
terms. But any such process is bound
to he gradual and irregular.

up his medical practice but is no
longer active in politics, although
he leaves no doubt where his
sympathies lie. His pleasant house
and garden were a shelter for lead
ing Polish Communists fleeing the
Gestapo during the German oc-
cupation. For his help the Poles
decorated him.
