United PrM International Iraq; the Mesopomatia of ancient history, is a key mem ber of the Baghdad Pact, one of the West's chief shields against Communist penetra tion of the Middle East. With Turkey,. Iran and Pakistan it formed the "northern tier of defenses." It is a land slightly larger than California with a popula tion of littfe more than five million. It is the sixth largest oil-producing country in the wdfld with an annual revenue estimated at more than $300 million.

Eisenhower to meet with him at the U.S. Embassy today. However, they did not repeat threats to take "action" if he did not come to the University of Pan ama for talks.

The tour is marked by unusual travel arrangements. The list of his engagements during the day are not realesed until the morning of that day. Appar ently, this is designed to f ore , stall any attempt to make Ei senhower the center of hostile demonstrations like those which marred Vice' President Richard M. Nixon's recent South American tour. The leaders of the students have contended that Eisen hower can get a true picture of conditions in Panama only by talking with them. Eisenhower encoutered no violence on the first full day of his tour Sunday. His car drov9 through narrow streets of Panama City vhich had been cleared in advance by police.

A major cause of the unrest has been the Kurdish tribes, about 700, 000 strong, who have long wanted independence and have been inspired by Moscow propaganda to seek it. But the population has been divided since 1920 when Brit ain was awarded a mandate over Iran by the San Remo conference of Allied prime ministers. In 1921 Emir Fei sal was proclaimed king of Iraq and founded the Hashe mite dynasty. In 1941 former Premier Rashid Ali became premier in a pro-Axis coup but was crushed by the British. A Constant Target The anti-British hatred built up during the days of the mandate and after the war there were anti-Britishj and anti-American riots. In 1952 martial law was proclaimed and all political parties were banned to put down the riots. In 1953 King Feisal became j of age (18) and ascended the throne. The nation appeared to thrive under parliamentary rule, but Iraq was a constant target of propaganda cam paigns by the Communists and by pro-Syrian and pro-Egyptian elements. Prosperity increased with the flow of more and more oil and Feisal became staunchly pro-Western. Opposition to the king con tinued and there were riots and attempted coups during the next few years. There were anti-government disturb ances and a crackdown . on Communists. There was a se ries of new governments. Nation Divided The nation was divided in its allegiance to the king. Many Arabs disliked the fact Iraq joined the Baghdad Pact it was the only Arab nation to do so. Many of the popu lace and many in the army believed Iraq's allegiance lay with President Gamel Abdel Nasser of Egypt. King Feisal, now 23, main tained his close ties with the West and on Feb. 14, 1958, formed the Arab Federal State with Jordan, ruled by his cousin," King Hussein. A week later the rival United Arab Republic of Nasser was formed and loyalties in the na tion became more divided than ever. Underneath the uncertainty was the long history of civil disturbances, long years of so cial inequality in which rich land owners kept vast acre ages while thousands of Arabs worked for starvation wages. Feisal has attempted to ease this situation but unrest re mained. "WEDDED" INTO (Golden HAS MAD NO PEERS i 45& 3& I I M II- Hw' Vr?

Feisal II King of Oil-Rich Country For 19 of 23 Years By United Press International King Feisel II of Iraq, over thrown by a coup d'etat to day, has been king of the oil rich Middle East country for 19 of his 23 years. He was not quite 4 when his father, King Ghazi, was killed in an automobile accident in 1939. Actually, however, Feisal assumed the royal preroga tives in May, 1953, when he reached his 18th birthday the same day that his Hasha mite cousin, Hussein, ascend ed the throne in Jordan. Be fore that, Iraq was ruled by Feisal's uncle, Prince Regent Abdul Illah. Throne Owed to Britain The Hashemites owed their thrones in Iraq and Jordan to Britain. But while Jordan has blown hot and cold in its relations with the British, Feisal has been Britain's and the West's staunchest ally in the Arab Middle East. Feisal linked Iraq with the Western Baghdad pact, a move which . brought bitter condemnation from Egypt and Syria, now linked in the United Arab Republic. Feisal was regarded as an enlightened monarch. He had Hungarians Picket Soviet Headquarters New York (UPI) More than 250 chanting, placard bearing Hungarians picketed the head-quarters of the Sov iet delegation to the United Nations Sunday in a non-violent demonstration. Their number was almost equalled by a heavy concen tration of foot and mounted policemen who surrounded the building and prevented the pickets from getting out of hand. Some of their signs read "Stop Butchering Hungarian Patriots" and "We Hate the Soviet Murderers."

Family Driven Out Feisal's great grandfather, Hussein, was sheriff of the holy city of Mecca until the family was driven out during World War I by Ibn .Saud, who became king of Saudi Arabia. But the sons of Hussein led the Arab revolt against the Ottoman empire with aid of Lawrence of Arabia during the First World War. And in appreciation, Britain sat" Fei sal's grandfather, Feisal I, on the throne of Iraq which was then a British mandate. - "Duke Snider, Crazy legs and The Family Council Editor's note: The Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, x newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers.

I want to settle down in civil service. Vivian J. It would mean defeat to him. Stanley J. I am a man of 26 and seem to be.unable to get my bearings' in life.

I have held a variety of jobs which seemed promising at first, but which petered out on me as others much less equipped and able than I were promoted ahead of me. In a couple of places I was told I was not cut out for the work I was doing. I have finally, decided to try to settle down into a civil service job. I am good at passing exams, but appar ently not so good at making my way when it depends upon making an impression on other people.

Vivian J. ; Stan was a brilliant student at school, yet he always managed to get himself messed up in some silly way. His research papers were always late, his exam papers sloppy. Sometimes he would get his classes mixed up and go to the wrong place at the wrong time. Yet every one agreed that he was bril liant. The same thing has hap pened in the jobs he has held. Even when he tries very hard to do everything just right, some small thing will happen to trip him up or he will strike the wrong note with a key person. I feel Stan must find the work he is really cut out for and then he will soar ahead. But .the civil service for him would be to accept defeat. He wants to take something far under his abilities.

Vivian, like most well meaning individuals on the side lines, can give negative advice, but can do little of positive value. She does not know what field of endeavor or what particular job will bring out her brother's real capabilities. She is sure civil service would stifle them, yet she cannot tell. Only Stanley will be able to tell once he has tried it. It is possible a job 'way beneath his capabilities will be just the thing to make Stan snap into a realization of what he wants to do. Vivian is probably right in her feel ing that once her brother clicks in the right job he will move ahead quickly. However, Stanley should recognize he is not jinxed. He apparently has some person ality disturbance which is creating trouble for him. He may find it worthwhile to talk over his problems with a psychiatrist. As for his immediate voca tional plans, we think he ought to follow his own in stincts and do his best.
