But the two, brothers have

Prince Faisal became strongly

pro-Egyptian and his oldest
son, a man in the late 20s,
is fanatically pro-Nasser-
and is in charge Of the Saudi
police.
But as repeatedly reported
in this column, the entire
Arab world, apart from a
few government leaders, is
pro-Nasser. He represents
the drive for unity, the re-

longing for independence

military Pay Bill

There is something strange
about this new military pay
bill just passed by the House.
Retired personnel, which
includes not only the old
ones but the disabled wrecks
OF our world wars. are to
receive a mere 6 per cent in
crease rather than the tradi-
tional raise computed on the
base pay Of rank or rate and
length of service. How can
this seem fair or attractive"
to the younger personnel?
When they too are on the
bone pile" they can expect
a little remembrance-may-
be-but not traditional raises
because precedent would be
established right now in their
time for ignoring traditional
care of retirees. The men
who recently retired must
be Squirming. The very men
they commanded will retire
with a lot more benefits
better standard of living by
far.
Civilians-and that in,
cludes Congressman - seem
never to stop and think that
retirement not only ends the
attractive subsidy of tax
exempt housing and Subsist-
ence, the money for which
civilians pay taxes Especially
inflated areas of living, but
retirement also means paying
only a portion of the income,
governed by rank and length
Of service as well rs degree of
disability when that is in
volved, and in no case may it
exceed rs per cent, even
when disability is judged to
be 100 per cent.
Civilians rarely realize that
retirement does not free Off
GERS from the services grip.
The retired are still obligated
to maintain certain stand
ards and meet special re-
strictions demanded before
retirement on greatly re-
duced income.

Disagree With Brown

Constantine Browns col
umn entitled 'Mid-Eas is
World Powder Keg" would
be ridiculously simple to re-
flute point by point. Any
clear-thinking reader could
easily distinguish that crude
analogies fail to depict the
truth Of the aims and pur-
poses of Arab leaders who
are striving to bring their
countries to unity and stat
ure in the community of
nations.
Mr.. Brown can be excused
perhaps for not knowing that
the Arabs. who he says "un-
til some 10 years ago despised
each other" have had a CEN
turies-long history of unity
and only in recent times have
they suffered the dismember-
ment stronger powers found
useful to exploit for their own
purposes. But it is difhcult
to excuse him for speaking Of
the nationalism of the Arab
world as a Communist ex-
port. The desire and struggle
for national freedom never
needs to be imported from
anywhere; it is the just right
of every country and every
people.
Mr.. Brown and his inform
ants are unable to see that
President Nasser has given
life to the hopes and dreams
of every Arab who has strug-
gled for the progress that
will give their people the dig
nifty they have long been
denied.
