Algerian Ruler Is Happy Over Merger
By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst When from Cairo’s Kubbeh Palace the three leaders of Egypt, Syria and Iraq announced their ambitious plan td merge in a new United Arab Republic, Algerian Premier Ahmed Ben Bella dispatched a happy message. It was. he told Egypt’s President Gamal Abdel Nasser, “the most wonderful day of my life.’’ For Nasser it was a new start toward accomplishment of his lifelong vision of an Egypt at the center of three circles—the first Arab, the second African and the third a Moslem unity which would exert its influence throughout the world. These were explained in the only book Nasser ever wrote. In it ; he saw a “role, wandering aim- 1 lessly in search of a hero.” He never has left any doubt he con- 1 sidered himself suitable for that role. Single Arab Nation The new U.A.R. would .establish a single Arab nation extending ■ from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean. It would form the nucleus of • the first circle and its mere ■ announcement was enough to '
send Nasserite mobs into the streets of Amman, capital of neighboring Jordan, to worry the saudi rulers of Saudi Arabia and to rouse concern in Israel. With a first step behind him, Nasser this week was considering the second. In Algiers he was the guest of Ben Bella. Ben rjeila looks toward a North African “Magreb”, a union of Algeria. Tunisia and Morocco. With Libya and the U.A.R- the sum total could be an Arab federation extending from the Atlantic to the Persian Gulf. It would be the second circle in Nasser’s vision. Trouble at Home But even as Nasser landed in Algiers, things were coming unstuck at home. In Syria, a smouldering dispute between the Baathists, members of Syria’s largest political party, and Nasserites led to mass resignations from the Syrian cabinet with the Baathists in control. The Baathists, standing for Arab renaissance, hold key positions in both Syria and Iraq. Politically, they share with the Nasserites an enthusiasm for Arab unity and “Arab socialism,” but with a greater degree of parliamentary rule. They recall Nasser’s suppression of the Baathists during the ill-starred Egyptian - Syrian merger of 1958-61. q And their fear now is that socalled collective leadership in a new U.A.R. quickly would deteriorate to one-man Nasser rule. Mutual aims brought the Baathists and Nasser together. Mutual suspicions bid once more to split them apart. Nasser has proved himself a persistent man but the circles which place Egypt in the cfenter of an Arab world may yet prove to be illusory bubbles.

Pulitzer Prize Awards listed, Furor On One NEW YORK (UPI)—Two posthumous prizes, a furor over an unbestowed drama prize, and a public service award to the Chicago Daily News highlighted the anouncement Monday of the 1963 Pulitzer prizes in journalism and the arts. The Daily News received a gold medal and a citation for a series “calling attention to the issue of providing birth-control services in the public health programs of its area.” William Faulkner, chronicler of the imaginary Yoknapatawpha County in Mississippi, who died July 6,1962, was cited in fiction for his humorous, earthy remiscence, “The Reivers.” He had received an award in 1955 for his novel, “A Fable.’ Honor Poet-Physician Also honored posthumously was Dr William Carlos Williams, the poet-physician who died in Rutherford, N.J. last March 4 at the age of 79. He was cited for his ’book of poems, “Pictures from Breughel.” John Mason Brown and John Gassner, the two members of the drama jury, resigned Monday with statements that the members of the Pulitzer Advisory Board had rejected their choice for the award: Edward Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” A spokesman for Columbia University said only that the trustees had “approved all the recommendations of the advisory board.” It was noted that the award is designed for a play representing “in marked fashion the educational value of the power of the stage.” It was thought the advisory board might have considered Albee’s cathartic and vehement drama outside these qualifications. It was the sixth time since the prizes were established in 1917 that no drama award was given. Three newsmen from the New York World Telegram & SunSylvan Fox, Anthony Shannon, and William Longgood—got prizes for reporting under deadline pressure for their coverage on March 1,1962 of an American Airlines (Jane crash as New York’s International Airport. Ninety-five persons died in that tragedy. Complicating the coverage of that story was the crush on newspaper staffs created the same day by the. welcome and ticker tape parade given Lt. Col. John M. Glenn, the astronaut. In editorial writing, Ira H. Harkey, editor of the Pescagoula (Miss.) Chronicle, was honored for his work during the integration crisis created when James Meredith became the first Negro admitted as a student to the University of Mississippi.
Four Grant County Youths Are Killed By United Press International v Five deaths Monday night and early today, including four Grant County students in a two-car wreck, pushed Indiana’s 1963 traffic toll to at least 360 today compared with 336 this time last year. State Police said Ronald D. Cavin, 22, Greencastle, was injured fatally early today when his car smashed into the rear of a big truck parked along U.S. 31 in Tipton County. Authorities said Ralph Osborn, Amboy, the trucker, stopped on the highway because of engine trouble and put out three warning reflectors which apparently went unnoticed by Cavin, whose car plowed into the truck with full force. Cavin died about two hours later in an Indianapolis hospital. Osborn, who was not in the truck escaped unhurt. The crash north of Marion Monday night apparently occurred when one car drove into a fourway stop without lights- Besides the fouridead, three other persons were injured. Dead are Lana Thompson, 17. Marion, Linda Green, 17, Van Buren, Cindy Filer, 16, R.R. 2, Marion, and Mike Noller, 20, a student at Marian CollegeSheriff E. C. Riggs said the driver of one of the cars, David Owings, 19; R.R. 1, Marion, said he did not see any lights on the convertible driven by Noller when he approached the stop. Pam Winger, R.R. 4, Marion, who was injured, also said she saw no lights. Noller and Miss Thompson were thrown through the roof of the convertible by the force of the impact and were found lying about 10 yards from the car. The third injured person was Gary Anzil, 17, R.R. 4, Marion. Five of the students, including the three injured taken to Marion General Hospital, were in the Owings car. The accident happened a little after 10 p.m. Two deaths were reported Monday resulting from earlier accidents.
