would observe these conditions,

always carried them out.
Stood by His Friends
Abdullah was man vino made
lit a point OF honor to stand by
his friends. He believed that
IAN alliance with Britain was
the surest way Of ensuring the
safety of his country and he
never wavered in that belief.
Through thick and thin, in
victory and disaster, he said so
with complete frankness.
This constant vigorous sup
port of the alliance with Britain
gave many openings for his
enemies to attack him. He was
accused of being a servant of
the British Empire and of lack
ing devotion to his own country.
Nothing could be further from
the truth.
I remember well how he sent

BY 1T. GEN. SIR
JOHN BAGOT GLUBB

LONDON, Mar. II (NANA.-
The Hashemite royal family, to
which the Kings of Iraq and
Jordan belong, has perhaps the
longest pedigree of any dynasty
in the world. They trace their
descent from the Prophet Mo-
manned, founder of the Moslem
religion in the 7th century AID.
My service with this family
began in 1926, when I first took
an appointment under King
Faisal of Iraq, the companion
of T. E. Lawrence in the first
World War.
In 1890 transferred to Trans
Jordan. which was then ruled by
the Emir Abdullah, the brother
of King Faisal of 4raq.
Both were men of outstand-
ing personality, true gentlemen
gifted with charming and courtly
manners and yet at the same
time great democrats.
Always genial and considerate
to their subordinates, they were
men for whom it was always a
pleasure and an honor to work.
Worked in Desert Area
From my arrival in Jordan
in 1880 until April, 1899, I was
employed in control of the desert
area of Jordan, an area nearly
as large as England. 1t consists
of rolling desert country, flint
strewn hills divided by narrow,
twisting valleys covered with low
desert scrub and bushes.
There are no trees in the des-
ert, but in spring the whole
country is carpeted with short
grass and a profusion of spring
flowers.
The Emir Abdullah had been
brought up in the deserts out
side Mecca, and he loved, when
his duties allowed, to leave his
palace in Amman and spend one
or two nights in the desert.
A small camp of tents was
pitched, and the Emir would sit
in an open tent, gazing out over
the vast. treeless, rolling expanse
that merged into range upon
range of pale blue hills as far
as the eye could see. Camp fires
would be lit as the evening drew
in, Negro slaves would bring
coffee, and the Emir, sitting on
a Persian carpet on the ground
and leaning his elbow on a camel
saddle, would converse far into
the night.
(. Emir a Versatile Man
He was a man who had under
gone many vicissitudes. AS a boy
at the beginning of the century,
he had lived and fought with the
Bedouins of the desert. Immedi-
ately before the First World War
he had been a member Of parlia-
ment in Constantinople, the cap
ital of the then Turkish empire
Throughout his life he was
as much at home in royal courts
as he was with farmers and
ploughmen, or riding a camel
across the desert in company
with looking Bedouins.

or subconscious-was the diff

lAbdullah was murdered In July,
1881. when going to pray in those
holy places. and that the fatal
shot was fired by a native OF
the city which he wished to give
his life to defend.
A Change of Monarchs
After the murder of King Alb
Idullah (his title was changed
from Emir to King in 1946), his
lson assembled the throne as King
lTalal in September, 1851.
The new ruler had all the
charm and courtesy of his IA
Ither, but. unfortunately, he was
lalready suffering from a tragic
disease.
| Emir Hussein was still a
Ischoolboy who had as yet at
tracted little publicity. He was
hastily sent to Harrow to broad
len his education, the death of
ibis grandfather and the illness
Iof his father having suddenly
drought him near the throne.
1t so happened that was In
England shortly afterward, and
I went out to visit Hussein at
Harrow. l was first received by
his housemaster and asked him
how his Royal Highness was get
ting on.
Every well. indeed" he an
swered. 'The prince had never
played rugby before he came
here. The first time he turned
out he looked a bit perplexed to
start with. but before the end
of the game he was tackling low
with the best of them. The boys
think he is fine chap"
| was able to be of service in
one respect when Emir Hussein
was at Harrow.
His father, King Talal, was
not aware that English boarding
school boys take box of sweets
and cakes to school at the be-
ginning of the term. I discovered
this omission and we were able
to rectify it by a fruitful visit to
a London shop.
Talal Abdicates
King Talal's illness compelled
him to abdicate and HuSsein
succeeded to throne May 2, 1852,
at the age of 10.
He was welcomed in Jordan
with immense enthusiasm. The
tragic death of his grandfather
and the illness of his father
caused everyone to look with
sympathy and affection at this
bright, handsome young man.
Although the Arab Legion had
grown to 10000 strong during
the Second World War. it had
fallen to only 5000 in 1948,
when hostilities began with the
Israelis.
The present Arab Legion has
been almost entirely built up
since 1948, and, as a result, the
officers who have entered since
1948 are all very young for the
work that falls upon them.
Marry of the young Jordanian
officers OF the Arab Legion are
f1rst-class material, but the old
est OF the younger generation is
only 36, and the great majority
are still in their 20s.
Very few officers in any Army
are capable of being brigadiers
at 80 or major generals at IS.
At the same time. the Jor-
danians, like everyone else, are
nationalistic. They feel humili-
ated that their army is COM
manded by foreigners-anybody
else would be too. The British
would not like their army to be
commanded by, let us say,
American generals.
Awkward Predicament
We were thus in an awkward
Ipredicament in the Arab Legion.
We all fully realized that the
Legion was the army of Jordan,
and would have to be COM
manded by Jordanians.
But purely technical military
efficiency necessitated the reten-

With most of the boys report
ing for practice for the first time
this week, due to the opening of
school, Coach Ayers will have a
job getting his team in shape for
the opening game. With all three
of his regulars returning playing
on the line, Mr.. Ayers has tough
problem in getting an offensive
backfield. All his men are small
and for the most part, inexperi-
enced. Coach Ayers says that St.
Clair Basnight, Jack Wood, Randie
Houston, Jeffrey Midget, Ralph
Jones and others are his present
hopes for the starting backfield
positions, with the possibility of
Lawrence Swain, Allen Dough or
Mccoy Tillett, Jr. being shifted to
the backfield.
Helping Coach Ayers with the
team this year are Clarence But
Ter of Kitty, Hawk, and w. H.
Fry, both of the Manteo faculty.

RULES LISTED FOR
STUDENTS USING
VETERANS AIDS
information Given Those Who
Take Advantage Of War Or
phans Education Grants.

Young men and women planning
to attend school this fall under the
new War Orphans education law
were urged today by the North
Carolina Veterans Commission to
file their applications as soon as
possible, to avoid unnecessary de-
lays in receiving their first month
ly allowance checks.
Application forms are available
at all County Veterans offices and
the offices of North Carolina Vet
Grams Commission.
Persons eligible for schooling
are those whose veteran-parent
died of injuries or diseases result
ing from military service during
World War I, World War II or the
Korean conflict. Students generally
must be between 10 and 90 years
old.
Prompt action is needed, the
Veterans Commission explained,
because normally it will take about
three months from the date of APP
plication to the date the initial al
lowance check is placed in the mail.
So in the case of young men and
women who apply now, the earliest
that the Veterans Administration
could mail out checks would be
mid-November.
When the first checks do arrive,
however, they will cover the entire
period during which the students
were in school after October /,
1856 beginning date on which the
law authorizes payments to be
made. Thereafter, checks will be
mailed regularly, to cover each
month the student is in school.
The three-month period between
application and receipt of the first
check is necessary because of the
processes required by the law;
here's what is involved:
After the application is filed.
Veterans Administration mu S t
check its records to make certain
that the young man or woman
meets basic eligibility require
ments for schooling. If so, Veter-
ans Administration will issue a
provisional approval"
Next, Veterans Administration
will schedule vocational counseling
to help the applicant, along with
his living parent or guardian to
plan a program of education best
suited to his aptitudes, abilities
and interests. Also, the parent or
guardian, with the help of Veter-
ans Administration counselors,
must work out an educational
plan" showing program of educa-
ton, the students goal, what
school or schools he plans to at
tend and the estimated cost.
Only after this plan is submit
ted may Veterans Administration
give its final approval for the
training.
And even after the student en-
rolls in school, he can't expect his
check Immediately,
for the law calls for payments to
be made some time after the end
of each month of training COM
pleted.
Young men and women who
wish to begin fall terms at school
in September 1856 are urged to
contact James NJ. Vannote, Veter-
ans Service Officer, Manteo, North
