Saud in Beirut

BEIRUT. Oct. 10 R.-King
Saud came to Lebanon today
and continued his campaign 70
persuade Arab countries to stop
pickering among themselves.
The Saudi Arabian Kinprap-

way toward patching up quar-
rels between Arab countries
who have been at loggerheads
for months.
Perhaps because Of this Saud

officials.
Ostensibly Saud came here
for a five-day state visit to be
followed by five days OF rest.
He also will attend the 18th
annual Arab athletic games
opening Saturday. But it is
known he has agreed TO nu-
.merous conferences to discuss
growing Middle East tension.
officials from neighboring Arab
countries are arriving in Beirut
TO participate.
Saud'S visit to, Lebanon fol-
lows by only two weeks his
dramatic visit to Syria. He
publicly rebuffed a United
States charge that Syria's Left
ist swing and Communist arms
buildup are endangeI1ng Mid
die East peace.
Since then Saud has gained
considerable stature as a medi-
ator. He brought together in
Damascus the chiefs OF state Of
Iraq and Syria. Those two
countries have been quarreling
for two years. = Moreover he
persuaded the governments OF
Syria and Jordan to curb their
vitriolie TRADES against each
other. There also has been a
noticeable letup in tension be-
tween Syria and Lebanon.
