Saud-Nasir Dispute
The Egyptian and Syrian press have continued their
heayy assault on King Saud's plotting against Nasir and
the UAR, accompanied by an increased tendency to por-
tray Saud as having acted with American support. The
basis for further sharp attacks has been prepared with
the announcement that the investigation of Saud's conspir-
acy in Syria has been completed and that indictments
have been drawn up for a forthcoming trial.
Nasir's use of the conspiracy as a basis for attack-
ing the institution of monarchies may have aroused mis-
givings among even pro-Egyptian members of the Saudi
royal family- While passing through Lebanon last week
on his way to Egypt and Europe, the Saudi interior min-
ister allegedly stated that his father, Crown Prince
Faysal, had appealed to Nasir not to attack the Saudi
royal family in the course of his denunciation of the
Saudi plot. Faysal's presumed concern was to prevent
the undermining of the Saudi Idynasty, in which he would
succeed his brother.
Meanwhile, Saud's minister of state for UN affairs,
Ahmad Shuqayri, whowhas headed the Saudi delegation to
the Geneva conference on laws of the sea, appears to
have reconsidered his previously expressed desire? to
resign. Shuqayri, a Palestinian who is now a" Syrian »
citizen, earlier advised Nasir of his desire to resign
out of disapproval of Saudis role in conspiracy against
Nasir. Nasir advised Shuqayri to act as he saw fit, and
Shuqayri has now asked Saud for permission to come to
Riyadh, offering to serve as an intermediary between
the King and UAR authorities. Shuqayri might also serve,
however. as a; pro--E '
ver in the Saudi court.
