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

million. It is the sixth largest
oil-producing country in the
wdfld with an annual revenue

Students Reject
Milton's Request
Panama City (UPI) Pan
amanian student leaders re
jected two invitations from
Dr. Milton E. 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

Eisenhower, president of
Johns Hopkins university, is
on a 21-day swing through
Latin America billed as a
o"study mission." He began his
tour here Saturday. 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

of the Tigris and the Euphra
tes supported a population of
more than 30 million. 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.

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

also been popular with his

The Hashemites trace their
lineage back to Fatima,
daughter of the prophet Mo
hammed. 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

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.

for family and friends to
watch a man like Stanley
flounder, yet it is doubtful
whether there is any other
way for him to find himself.
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
