Friday. Oetobtr 21, 1953 Armed Skirmish Brings Dispute Over Oil-Rich Arab Oasis Toward Climax f OOTTCTW MTOrOTO (OKGOW) MAIL TRIBUNE Bribery Charges, Feuds Develop Over Rich Fields London U.R) A battle be tween two handfuls of soldiers in the Arabian peninsula has brought toward a climax the fan tastic dispute over the Buraimi Oasis. The dispute Involves, on the surface, a date palm oasis, a few square miles in area, dotted by nine Arab villages. It has brought charges of bri bery running into scores of mil lions of dollars. Relations Embittered It has embittered relations be tween Britain and the United States. The reason Is that Buraimi is an oil field of possibly fabulous value. ghe issue is whether the Unit ed States-owned Arabian Amer ican Oil Co. (ARAMCO) or the British - owned Iraq Petroleum Co. shall get the prospecting rights. Saudi Arabia does business with ARAMCO. Its royalties from ARAMCO's exploitation of Saudi Arabian oil make King Saud one of the wealthiest men in the world. Long Dispute Buraimi has been in dispute for 20 years. It lies between Saudi Arabia and a group of Arab sheikdoms protected by Great Britain. There have been a number of little clashes between Saudi Ara bian and rival Arab troops in the oasis. a Britain and Saudi Arabia O agreed to submit the dispute to arbitration by a special tribunal meeting in Geneva, Switzerland. The British members of the tribunal resigned and walked out on Sept.'17. He charged that the Saudi Arabians were resort ing to bribery. The British Foreign office fol lowed on Oct. 4 with some star tling charges. It said King Saud had offered a bribe of $84,000,000 to a broth er of the .ruling sheik of Abu Dhabi, in whose territory the oasis lies. .'

Peter Townsend went to a country re treat today for their second week end together in their flow ering romance. The Princess and the pilot, divorced father of two, left Lon don separately and drove to the stately home of Lord Rupert Nevill in the Sussex Hills outside the city. The week end before last they had been guests of Mrs. . John Wills, Margaret's cousin and confidante, at the Wills country estate in Windsor. Margaret spent last week end at Windsor Castle with Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen also left London today to spend the week end in Scotland. She met earlier with the Privy Council, a body which must be told of any deci sion by Margaret to marry. How ever, there was no indication that the romance came up at the council meeting, which had been scheduled some time ago to discuss state business. Open Evidence She gave open evidence of that heartache, and fresh evidence that she has not yet decided, by taking her problem to Dr. Geof frey Fisher, the archbishop of Canterbury, chief foe of the re marriage of a divorced person. The Church Times, an unoffi cial weekly edited, by members of the Church of England for its clergy, called for prayers that School Bus Stop Law Claimed Disregarded Salem (U.R) Complaints that some motorists are disregarding Oregon's school bus stop law have been made to the secretary of state's office here, the Traf fic Safety Division said today. The division said school bus drivers are plagued by motor ists who merely slow down and then proceed to . pass ' a bus stopped to load or unload pas sengers. ..".v..., But some school bus drivers share the blame for confusion over the law, the division said. An occasional school bus opera tor will wave a driver past even though children are leaving the bus. . The law requires that drivers stop "when meeting or overtak ing a school bus stopped to load or unload passengers on a two- lane road.Where there are three or more lanes, only those driv ers moving in the same direction as the bus must stop. family and overthrow the ruling sheik. But the brother reported to the British instead. ' Prime Minister Anthony Eden announced the most recent de velopment in the House of Com mons Wednesday. 1 King Saud has moved some of his troops into the oasis. Eden announced that he had informed the sheik of Abu Dhabi and the sultan of Muscat, who also has an interest in Buraimi, that the attempt to arbitrate the dispute had failed. As the result, he said, troops of Abu Dhabi and Muscat, sup ported by troops of allied shiek doms, had "taken steps to re sume their previous control of the oasis and the areas to the west of it." : . "My latest information is that the Saudi Arabian force has been evacuated," Eden said. 1 B. FONG Herb Specialist CHARLIE CHAN OFFICE OPEN SUNDAYS ONLY 12 NOON TO 4 fJA.

There had been a decided swing of opinion against what one newspaper dared to call the "affair" with Townsend, but the growing realization of her inner struggle was winning new sup port. The Times of London opened its columns today to a letter of support from Dr. Gilbert Mur ray, one of Britain's greatest scholars. Murray, a man of let ters, is one of the few who have been awarded the Queen's own Order of Merit. Editorial Protested , He wrote the Times to pro test its editorial stating that Mar garet must leave the royal fam- Child Guidance Clinic Program Receives UMC Aid (Editor's note: This is an other in a series of brief articles about agencies bene fited by the United Medford Crusade fund drive now under way. Information is furnished by the agencies themselves.) The Southern Oregon Child Guidance clinic has been operat ing for only two years. The work accomplished by this organiza tion proves its need. Plans for expanding its services are being studied. The clinic, located in the Lev- erett building, has on its staff John Waterman, M.D., director of the mental health section, State Board of Health, two days monthly; Miss Mary Vanden berg, M.S.W., full-time psychia tric social worker; Mrs. Minnie Waterman, M.S.W.; phychiatric social work consultant, two days monthly; and psychological serv ices contributed through local schools and Southern Oregon college. Direct Service . The clinic provides a direct service of study and treatment of individual children's prob lems, handling approximately 100 a year. In addition the staff is available for consultation and educational programs. Last year 77 planning conferences were held. Mrs. Waterman served each month as a consultant for in-service seminars for health department and welfare depart ment personnel. Two credit sem inars, , through the extension service, were offered monthly for teachers. Dr. Waterman continued to meet monthly with doctors inter ested in psychiatry in general medicine. Miss Vandenberg served with a, study group of parents of retarded children. She met with other study groups and appeared to discuss films shown at various PTA's and other groups. All of these serv ices constitute constructive use of clinic time in over-all plan ning and sharing in the preven tive aspects of mental health. This year the clinic hopes to be able to give more such help. General contributions to the United Medford Crusade will be a big step for happier, healthier children, fewer problems in the teen-agers, and more assured parents. - .

The nation's biggest circula tion newspaper, the Daily Mir ror, declared journalistic war on the Times for what it termed "a plan to force upon the prin cess a cruel choice." The mirror said the Times had broken its "cowardly silence" to make "the first sinister move in an ugly plan to force upon the princess a heartless, cruel choice. This is what the Times sets out to tell the princess: "She must give up Peter Townsend forever. Or she must be banished from the royal cir cle .. . and presumably spend the rest of her life like the luck less Windsors, without roots, without purpose, without hope."

EMUS Jgffl wurcr 1 cA Eagles FOR EAGLE MEMBERS AND THEIR INVITED GUESTS Gambling Charge Ended by Ruling Portland (U.R) Municipal Judge J. J. Quillin- yesterday dismissed a gambling charge against a Portland man on the grounds that evidence entered in the case was seized illegally. The motion to suppress evi dence had been filed earlier by defense counsel for Manuel Moorhead, 45. Attorney Tom Work said officers had trespass ed on private property to look in a window before arresting Moorhead and 11 visitors. Deputy City Attorney Paul Gearhart argued that even if the evidence had been seized unlaw fully it was still admissable under Oregon law. Gearhart said in 102 years of state judicial history the supreme court has never sustained a motion to suppress evidence seized in a raid. ' However, Judge Quillin ruled that thed efendant's "castle rights" and rights of privacy outweighed other considera tions.
