Sir Reader Resigns

With all the evidence OF this
incident before the tribunal, the
Judges retired in mid-Septem-
Der to consider how the bribery
charges affected the case. On
the day their decision was ex-
pected to be made public Sir
Reader Billiard, the British
member OF the court, suddenly
resigned.
His reasons:
/. The Saudi deputy foreign
minister was representing his
government on the arbitration
tribunal rather than acting
as an impartial arbitrator"
2. The bookkeeper who al
legedly offered the brides was
under the control of the Saudi
tribunal judge. the aforemen-
toned deputy foreign minister.
3. The Saudis had tempered
with the impartiality of the
tribunal behind the presidents
back" Presumably this re-
lated mainly to the Pakistani
judges visit to Mecca. in Saudi
Arabia, q few months before
going to Geneva.
The Saudis bounced on Sir

Readers reasons as flimsy.
AS to the first charge, they
said. Sir Reader had known
Sheik Yusuf since 1887. knew
he was deputy foreign minister
when he was accepted on the
tribunal. and understood well
that in such international pro-
cedures it was customary to
have representatives of the two
disputants sitting on the bench.
Did the British think there was
a possibility that the Saudi
judge would vote against his
country. or Sir Reader against
his?
AS for the bookkeeper, the
Saudis admitted they had
worked with him. But would
the British deny having worked
Just as closely with the Abu
Dhabi sheik's brother?" they
wanted to know.
And as to Sir Readers third
reason, the Saudis claim to
have had no contact with the
Pakistani Judge on the Bu-
raimi affair at Mecca.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK

Monday. Unlike recent occa-
sions for visits of British lead
ers. this one will not be to iron
out differences between the
two great allies, most observers
agreed. Rather. it will be to
map a joint strategy against
the expanding Communists.
Clement Attlee. Britain's post
war Socialist Prime Minister,
resigned as leader of the Labor
Party on Wednesday, touching
of a scramble among younger
men for his job. Whoever is
chosen will. of course, stand
an excellent chance of becom-
ing British Prime Minister
some day. Bookish Hugh Gait
skell, former economics pro-
lessor and ex-chancellor of the
excheouer. was considered the
most likely successor. Other
candidates are wing leader
Aneurin Bevan and Herbert
Morrison, former Foreign Sec
rotary.

Other Judges Quit

DR.. De Visscher resigned a
week after Sir Reader. and
the Cuban judge eventually
followed. The British took
their actions as confirmation
Of the eminent judges disgust
with the Saudis performance.
The Saudis' version is that
Sir Reader resigned just in
time to avert a Al decision
against the British. which
would have found that the
bribery charges had not been
substantiated and that a neu-
trail observers group should be
sent to Buraimi.
At least the Saudis still
are anxious that the arbi-
tration be resumed. The
British consider the whole
incident closed, and have now
given notice that they believe
the Trucial Oman States and
the Sultanate of Muscat now
control all East Arabia up to
the 1887 British line.
Still, up to October Is. the
Saudis say they had been given
hope at the British Foreign
ONCE that another British
judge would be appointed and
the arbitration resumed. Then
came the Buraimi coup" or
"re-establishment of control"

United Nations

The target date for adj
journment of the United Ma
tons 10th General Assembly
passed yesterday. with the 60
nation world body still meet
ing.
Two issues were unsettled,
a proposal to admit 10 new
members and the job Of pick
ing an 18th member in the
U. N. Security Council next
month.
The U. N. was apparently on
the verge Of settling the mem
bership issue yesterday at The
Review went to press. On Fri
day the General Assembly had
approved, 52-2, with five abb
stentionS. a package deal"
TO admit Is nom Communist
nations and flve Soviet satel-
lites, including Outer Mon
golia. The two lone dissenters
were Nationalist China and
Cuba. while the United States
and France were among the
five abstainers.
The key minority country
was Nationalist China. AS a
permanent member of the
Security Council she had the
power and the strong inclina-
ton to veto Outer Mongolia.
If Outer Mongolia were black
listed, the Soviet representa-
tive warned he would veto all
other applicants.
The Security Council took
up the membership question
yesterday. and Immediately
begged down in a procedural
wrangle. The question: Should
applicants be voted on in a
package, as the General AS
sembly had done, or individ-
ually? The international
Court recommended against
membership package deals in
1913.
The General Assembly cast
eight more ballots Tuesday in
an attempt to decide between
the Philippines and Yugoslavia
for the 18th Security Council
seat. Neither nation could get
the required 80 or 40-vote two
thirds majority.

very heartland of Asia.
His goal was Urga (now
called Ulan Bator), the capital.
where 1000 Chinese troops
were garrisoned. Technically
Mongolia was independent and
ruled by the Living Buddha
known as the Hutukhtu. The
MAnchu control ended in 1911.
but in 1919 the Chinese had
reasserted themselves.
Second Try Succeeds

His decisions Of grandeur
grew more intense. He took
to issuing proclamations like
an emperor. Always cruel. he
was now trying out his sadism
on his fellow officers. Though
he talked of routing the Red

seemed to realize that it was
imperative for them TO control
Mongolia If they were to have
a Communist Siberia.
So when the young baron

illustrious old houses-set out
on a mission to solidify Asia.
his own forces were sick in
dread of him. They were tired
Of playing the golden horde"

They began to rebel. but 1t
wasn't necessary. The Soviet

Ungern and his dream.
Then one day 1t happened.
Ungern found himself alone.
The Soviets gave him a trial"
took him out and shot him.
That was the end of Roman

Questions Remain

Even the United States,
which hopes to remain friends
to both parties in the dispute,
leans toward the Saudi posi-.
ton that arbitration should
be resumed. This attitude inn
plies-although the State De-
partment could never state 30
openly - a doubt about the
righteousness of Britain's re-
lection Of arbitration because
of the alleged widespread eff
feet Of Saudi bribery.
There are several embar.
RAISING questions which re-
main unanswered. Here are Q
few:
. If the Saudis' claim to
Buraimi is so strong, why did
King Ibn Saud not make it
in 1885?
. If the Saudi claim to Bu-
raimi is so weak. why do the
British shun arbitration now
while the Saudis clamor for it2
. Why did the British mem
Der of the arbitration tribunal
resign just before the tribunal
handed down its first prelim-
mary decision? If the panel
was about to substantiate the
British charges, wouldn't Sir
Readers case for resignation
have been reinforced? Or did
Sir Reader know that the de-
cision of the court would go
against Britain. and for that
reason resign so the adverse
vote could not be formalized?
. Why did the British refuse
to allow a Buraimi plebiscite
In 1852, or stationing of neu-
trail observers there in 1855?
. What makes the British
think the Belgian Judge De
Visscher resigned in sympathy
to their cause? The Foreign
ONCE is said to have received
q letter from him offering to
resume the Craftsmanship II
both sides agree that he should
return.
. Why does Britain advocate
the no-force doctrine in set
Ting international disputes.
except in the case of Buraimi7
Answers to most of these
questions might be expected
to come out in arbitration
proceedings. If they were re-
sumed.

One Of the maddest dreams
of all times was dreamed.
acted out and extinguished
IS years ago In one Of the last
redoubts of romanticism that
is now a key area In an inter-
national poker game.
The land is Outer Mongolia,
whose good neighbor," the
Soviet Union, wants a seat in
the United Nations for the
little-known land.
The dreamer nightmare
that came to life in this bleak
land dying as a buffer between
China and Russia originated
in the brain of a semi-legend-
ary- character usually called
the Baron Ungern Won Stern
berg. He was lieutenant gen.
eral in the white Russian"
(Czarist) forces in Siberia after
World War I. The dissolution
Of his dream helped to bring
the sovietized Monaghan Peo-
Piles Republic into being.
Ungern-blond, bearded, IS
years old, a descendant of the
Teutonic knights - captured
Outer Mongolia one winters
day In 1921. Like a medieval
crusader. he was wearing the
cross of st. George on his bro
caded tunic when he rode into
the capital. Urga.
Urga's capture was the first
part of the dream. The sec
ond was to re-establish the
vast empire once controlled by
Genghis Khan.
Born In the Baltic state of
Estonia. he was one Of a long
line Of fighters In Europe's
wars under many flags. His
full name was Roman Nicholas
Max, Baron Won Ungern-
Sternberg.
The Bloody Boron
But before he was through,
he was known as the bloody"
or mad" Baron. Like Geng-
his, he had a talent for cruel
ty-both plain and refined.
This fanatical-but prob
ably brilliant-young officer
seized his chance to play out
his mad dream during ST.
beria's most chaotic and in
trigue-ridden days. The Rus
slams (red. white and pink
were struggling for control OF
the area. American and Brit
ish forces were there. too. and
the japanese were standing by
to grab what they could out
Of the ruins of fallen Czarist
Russia.
When the White Russian
forces under Admiral Kolchak
either collapsed or were taken
by the Soviets. Ungern began

noses of the various powers.

certain excise taxes. Thus an
American can import his auto
without paying a duty and
make certain tax-free pur-
chases. This, military men
say. is done with the under
standing the armed forces
will be able to control its en-
ployes by imposing penalties
for abuse of such privileges.
But without this power it was
deemed doubtful that civilians
would continue to receive such
a break.
This. it was feared, would in
turn lead to demands for
higher wages which finally
would affect the defense
budget.
But standing in the path of
all the contentious and allega-
tions is the pronounced dis
taste of the courts to the idea
of a civilian being denied trial
by jury and going before a
court-martial.
The first court-martial case
since the Tamm ruling was
filed in District Court here on
Wednesday Hugh H. Hur-
lahe of Detroit, Mich, an en-
gineer procurement officer
serving with the Army in Ger
many, is contesting the le-
gality of his court-martial set
for tomorrow in Nurnberg.
Mr.. Hurlahe. a civilian. seeks
release from Dachau prison,
where he is confined pending
the trial on charges Of I'M
lawful disposition of military
property. Since the Govern
ment has until next Wednes-
day to answer his petition for a
writ Of habeas corpus, the mill
tary proceedings, unless stayed.
will go ahead pending q ANAL
ruling.
Problem Has Grown
The problem of the status
Of members Of the armed
forces and attached civilians
overseas up to the first World
War was a negligible one
which grew during that war
and mushroomed as an after
math of World War II and the
present cold war with our far
flung bases.
The most recent Defense
Department figures show a.
922 American civilians en-
ployed by the armed forces in
foreign countries excluding
United States possessions. In
addition there are $4,000 CT
william dependents of service
personnel who are living in or
near military reservations
overseas.
The number Of civilians
court-martialed and sentenced
since 1851 include IS by the
Army. 10 by the Air Force and
so by the Navy. OF the latter
number. 10 were merchant sea-
men. The United States Mill
tary Court of Appeals, estab-
lished under the Uniform Code
of Military Justice. handled 81
cases involving 80 civilians
from May 81, 1851. to the end
OF last month.
If all who apparently will be
eligible to regain their free

opinion were minor offenders

might be lessened. But some

A serious problem Of main
tanning discipline In the armed
forces is presented, military
men believe. by Federal Judge
Edward A, Tamm's recent rul-
ing that civilians accompany
ing the forces overseas" are
not subject to court-martial.
How to- maintain control
over the thousands of civilians
is one part of the problem.
The other part concerns feel
ing Of troops. subject to pun
ishment by military court, who
see their civilian counterparts
go scot-free.
Historically, the Armed
Forces have always assumed
jurisdiction over civilian per-
sonnet accompanying the
troops. That doctrine was
adopted by Congress in the
Uniform Code Of Military Jus
tice approved in 1851.
From the Governments
viewpoint. the power OF Con-
gress to pass such law is au-
thorized by Article / Of the
Constitution which gives Con-
gress the authority to make
rules for the government and
regulation of the land and
Naval forces" Civilians en-
ployed by the military estab-
lishment are part Of the Arm
ed Forces. the Government
contends.
international Poets
BY agreement with foreign
countries, United States forces
maintain sole Jurisdiction over
civilian employees who commit
acts that are crimes under
American law but not under
the laws Of the host nation.
In cases where the civilians
commit crimes against the
United States or against each
other. the American military
has prime jurisdiction. That
is. the military gets first crack
at the offender If it so desires.
It may waive jurisdiction over
to the host country but this is
rarely, If ever done.
In crimes against the host
nation the latter has sole
jurisdiction. The host nation
also may try American civilian
employees of the military who
commit crimes against ma
tionals of that nation or other
wise violate the countrys laws.
But in actual practice, the
foreign power generally valves
jurisdiction at the request OF
the American authorities.
This system, it is pointed
out, affords protection against
trial in foreign courts which
may not follow the Anglo
Saxon philosophy of juris-
prudence as closely as does
a military court.
II Judge Tamm's ruling is
upheld. Government spokes-
men say 1t will become neces-
sary TO renegotiate a multitude
Of treaties to shift Jurisdiction.
Federal courts do not have jur-
isdiction in foreign countries.
The ruling also conceivably
could result in the loss Of GER
tain tax privileges accorded
civilian employees overseas.
Foreign countries have ex-
empted such persons from
