Streamlined Route To Moslem Pilgrims Five-Year Plan To Streamline Route DJEDDAH (UP) — Giant construction machines are chugging day and night around the Holy Kaaba in a five-year Saudi Arabian plan to streamline the Moslem pilgrimage to Mecca. Modern bulldozers are knocking down shops, houses and places to make room for half a million pilgrims from all over the Moslem world to assemble at the same time every year and perform the sacred rites aroqnd the Kaaba.

Decatur, Indiana, Thursday, June 7, 1956.

At the center of the clearing stands the Kaaba, the holiest shrine in Islam. Moslems all over the world turn their faces toward this shrine when they kneel in prayer. It is a square-shaped stone structure believed to have been built by the Prophet Abraham. It Ik draped in black velvet, nually in Egypt, and gold-laced with verses from the Koran. In one of the four walls of the Kaaba is embedded the Black Stone. It is a small hailstone the size of a baby's fist, encrusted in a silver frame. Moslem pilgrims come before the Kaaba to pray. Those close by kiss the Black Stone. Those farther away hail it with up-lifted arms. The present clearing before the Kaaba totals 35.000 square meters. The new clearing will equal that

area, but a pavilion will be built there to provide an upper and a lower story. Thus the area will be trebled - to accommodate all the half million pilgrims at the same time. — The near-by route between Safa and Mourwh, on which the pilgrims walk barefoot as part of the sacred rites, is being broadened and straightened. The separating wall between the route and Kaaba enclosure will be provided with glass-covered apertures, so the pilgrims on the route may remain in sight of the holy shrine. The marble-paved rouse will be provided with an underground airconditioning system, to reduce the average heat of the floor from 60 to 25 degrees centigrade. This is a tar cry from the pre-Saudl days when even cars were prohibited as a heathen sacrilege. Gardens and fountains will be set up around the Kaaba area. Twenty-meter-wide, two-lane asphalted roads will lead to the site. Spacious parking lots will be provided. Shops will not be allowed there. A large modernistic bazaar will lie constructed outside the perimeter. The project was inaugurated last April by King Saud, who personally conceived the plan. Crown Prince Feisal, the prime minister, is Supervising the project.

Other parts of the over all pilgrimage reform campaign have already been completed. One is the greaUarchitectural Mosque of the I’rtffjhet, where Mohamed is buritfd in Medina. King Saud paid $3,000,000 out of hi spersonal funds to finance the project. He wanted the Mosque of Mohamed to be the greatest mosque on earth, and experts say it is. Another project was the Djeddah Quarantine Station, a mammoth. up-to-date medical center designed to prevent the outbreak of epidemics among the pilgrims. To streamline the pilgrimage, the Saudi Arabian government has built macadamized roads, arranged airplane, car and bus services, and built air-conditioned hotels and hospitals. Despite improved services, the government has cut down the expenses for the pilgrims. Official tariff prices have been fixed on transport, accommodation and other pijgrimagjp services to curb any prdnteertfcfi& z .'s.
