mission. Much has been said
about "aliens" who have access to
the canals vital installations
Actually, most of them are Pana-
manians and British West Indians
who comprise the bulk of the
canals common labor force. The
fact Is that in two World Wars
there hasn't been a single case of
attempted sabotage among the
ranks of the canal laborers.
Engineers and military authori-
ties point out that the concrete
and steel structures protecting the
Achilles heels of the canal-lockS
control houses, dams. spillways-
are massive enough that no ordi-
nary amount of explosives would
blast them.
Armed guards are on patrol "a
hours a day at these installations
and also at highway approaches

tration plants and other objec-
Itives whose destruction could Grip
pie the canal. They check every
person entering or leaving these
sensitive areas.

stallations of the canal are under
constant surveillance" Gen. Porter

defense treaty with Britain
which permits the British to
base air forces in Iraq.
There are several explana-
tions given for Nuri Pasha's
affinity for the British.
Some of his friends ard fol-
lowers say he recognized years
ago that Iraq was a weak nation
and needed a strong, helping
hand. Others trace his friend
ship to the British back to his
early career-when he was ad-
wiser and companion to Fiesal-
first Arab King of Syria and
later King of Iraq under British
auspices after the French forced
him off the Syrian throne.
The British, through Lawrence
and others, aided the Arab re-
volt and struggle for independ-
ence and unity at the time of
the first war.
This may have helped mold
Nuri Pasha's feeling toward the
British. At any rate he has
been in position to exert great
influence. He has been a mem
ber Of Iraq cabinets almost con-
tinuously since 1922.
Appropriately enough. he was

Besides being responsible for

ures. Rear Admiral A. B. Bledsoe,
commandant of the 18th Naval
District, directs the guarding of
large water areas at each end of
the waterway. His operating
command is the Panama sector Of
the Caribbean Sea frontier.
Admiral Bledsoe cites the de-
ficiency in anti-submarine craft
as the main weakness of his forces.
But he points out that it would be
uneconomical to have such units
based here permanently because
of the lack of proper training
facilities. Anti-sub ships without
constant training, he explains, are

The canal, in Admiral Bledsoe's
opinion, would be worth several
atomic bombs to an enemy-but
it would not be the place to set of
the first one.

BAGHDAD, Iraq.-Prime Min
lister Nuri Pasha Said, strong
man of Iraq politics for 80
years, is a key man in the fast
unfolding Middle East oil pic
ture.
Whatever happens in neigh
boring Iran, the British expect
him to be a bastion against the
spread of nationalization-of
oil ideas in Iraq. Nationaliza-
ton was voted in Iran by Par
lament after the assassination
OF Prime Minister Ali Razmara.
Sixty-three years old, Nuri
Pasha has played an important
role in Middle East history
since World War I. He was q
guide to Lawrence of Arabia.
Controls Majority Vote
His firm hand on the Irau
government thus far has
blocked at the start all at
tempts to press for nationaliza-
ton of Iraq's oil.
Although opposition newspa-
pers are permitted to write
editorials favoring nationaliza-
tion, Nuri Pasha forbade a pro-
posed united opposition front
thus keeping his opponents
divided-rounded up suspected
Communists and banned leftist
newspapers. There have been
no open demonstrations for oil
naturalization in Iraq
He controls 80 per cent of the
votes in Iraq's Parliament.
Nuri Pasha is described by
some as friendly to the British.
His enemies make it a little
stronger and call him a British
"stooge."
This much is true: Nuri
Pasha's career has been closely
tied up with the British since
he secuted the Nejaz of Saudi
Arabia with Lawrence.
Helped With Treaty
He is serving his 18th term
as Prime Minister. He was Prime
Minister back in 1930-1932 and
negotiated revision of the Anglo
Iraq oil agreement now at issue.
He also was responsible for the

born in Kirkuk-today a major
oil center in the Middle East.
His life has spanned the dy-
ing days of the Ottoman en-
pire, British ascendency in the
Middle East and, today, British
attempts to retain dominance.
Joined Turk Army
After military school in Bagh-
dad. he was sent by his mod
erately well-to-do father to a
Turkish military college in Is
tanbul. There, with other Arabs,
he first became interested in the
move for Arab independence.
He joined the Turkish Army in
1908. left it to return to Iraq in
1913 and actively Joined the
Arab revolt in 1916.
After serving with Lawrence,
he became commandant of
troops in Damascus in 1917 after
the Arabs took that city. He
was Feisal'S adviser and COM
panion during the trying years
that followed and became Fei-
sails chief Of staff in the new
Iraq government.
Whatever his enemies may say
of him, they cannot point to
accumulated wealth as evidence
of dishonesty. Nuri Pasha lives
simply.
Praised by Lawrence
He is clever, hard-working,
stern if need be, charming and
likable. No polished speaker
before Parliament, he slips oc-
easionally into the vernacular.
but usually gets his point across.
He is medium sized. with the
typical Iraqi dark complexion.
Lawrence described him as "a
man whose courage, authority
and GOODNESS" marked him as an
ideal military leader.
He has one son who is director
of the Iraq Civil Always. Like
many Moslems, he does not
bring his wife into his social
life.
Although he has repeatedly
pumped for land and other re-
forms and stated his opposition
to feudal practices, Iraq has not
made much progress on these
lines under his leadership.

Fourth Firm Asked 10 Aid
Virginia Sewage Survey

A fourth engineering firm has
been called on to propose a sur
vey of neaby Virginia sewage dis
posal possibilities.
The fourth firm, Gannet, Flem-
ing. Cordry & Carpenter of Har-
risburg. Pa, was invited to the
Interim Sewer Committee of near
by Virginia yesterday to submit a
proposal for the survey.
Three engineering firms, two of
them acting together, earlier sub
mitted proposals to the Interim
Committee for the study.
Robert Cox, Arlington County
Board member who is chairman
of the Interim Committee, said
all four engineering firms are to
be interviewed by his committee
Monday on their proposals and
he expects the committee then
will be ready to recommend which
firm to employ for the survey.
Arlington, Fairfax, Alexandria
and Falls Church set up the In
terim Committee two months ago
to study methods of disposing of
sewage. The committee found an
engineering study would be neces-
sary to decide the best sewage-dis-
posal plan.

authority since 1887.
The board vote was split, the
action being favored by the three

ment heads, including the chief

Manor authorities that policemen
patroling in private cars would
have to stop using the county po-
lice radio system. He said the
order would become effective in
80 days.
In Use Three Years.
1t. Mackall issued the order,
after the county commissioners
had refused to sanction installa-
ton Of police radio in a private
car used by Seat Pleasant town

troll system had been in use for
