aIJlGQSUVIA The new climax e Stalin-Tito feud increases1 with continuing word from Kosoow today. The big headline is the article in Pravda, official newspaper of the Russian Communist Party, a demand for the execution of Red Marshal Tito of J•goslavia. The article, written by thA SAcretary of the Albanian Communist Party, is the ■ ore menacing because it announces the doom of a number of sympathizers of Tito - on' a genera) proaln . ent ln Red Albanian affairs. They were tried and shot, &n4 the article threatens Tito and his collaborators w1th th• same fate.

ABAB LIAGll_FOLLQI tUAEL From the ide of the Arabs, we bear of a meeting to be held in Cairo, in a few days - a gathering of the Arab League. This follows the reTolution in Syria, in which the two · top heads of the go•ernment were seized and executed. Th• · Arab League was to haYe met o•er the weekend, bat that wa1 called off because of the trouble in Syria - and !apt wanted a further delay, beca~se of suspicioa ~ d that the new re&i ■e has large ambitions. There is talk of what is called - a areater Syria, a merging of Syria with Iraq. Thie has arouaet ■ isgi•ing in the ther Arab states - a high degree of jealousy existing a■ ong the Uosle ■ nations. The matter is so ticklish that the govern■ent of Iraq has ordered its foreign ■ inister to change his route of travel- on his way to the conference at Cairo. Be was to ha•• called first at Damascus, visiting ARAI LEAGUE FOLLQ! ISBAIL - 2 the Syrian officials. But this, it was fea.e4, might be aisinterpreted as having to do with the project ,, of greater Syria. So the Iraqi Foreign Uini1ter has changed his plans and is going straight to Cairo. 111 this i1 a major importance in the affair• of Israel - giving graphic sign of dishar■ on7 ana dispute aaong the states of the Arab L•ague.

So ■ e of you may be wondering what lam doing sitting behind the microphone of ay friend and neighbor Lowell Thomas. ost of you will know that he'a been travelling, lfor you have heard hi• fro ■ Honolulu and Totyo.J ~hen he left, he said he •a• on hie way to a destination be thou&ht wise not to aention - loot until he actually got in.J Publicity aigbt cause a ■ lip-up, difficulties at the laat moaent - it was that tiod of Jaunt, that unusual, that bard to arrange, aoaethiog that ■i&ht baYe aeeaed i■posaible. But no• Lowell Tboaaa baa arrived. Be is in the forbidden land or Tibet, the berait city of Lhasa - lthe Tibetan Uity of the Goda.J the whole thing ia lik~ a tale of ro ■ anoe. lben this Proctor and Yaable program took a Yacation of aeYeD weeks during the auamer, it geva Lowell a chance to take a vacation of his own, the first in y~ars. Be wanted to aake it something special, the more so as -- oddly enough-- this year happened to be an anniversary. Twenty-five 1ear a10 Lowell Thomas, a young traveler and reporter, bad what 1,. 'J". -2 1eeaed like the break of a lifetime. He was named uffioial Si1torian for the Firat flight Around the Worl4. The Ara7 Air force was aending tour planea to aake the fir1t aerial circuanaYiga~ion, and Lowell waa appointed to write the official atory. That waa a daaaling honor, but it had oae painful drawback lin Lowell's mind). I'•• heard hi■ tell how auch he wanted to go on that fli&ht around the worl4, . how aaoh he want,d a place in one of the plan•• on the tirat aerial oircuana•i1atioa. But that••• iapoa1ible - for laok of apaoe. That pioneer circaanaYigation throuab the ak7 •• achie•ed in glory, back in the aua■ er of liaeteen Twent7- . Four. So this year ot lilleteen Fort7-lin• ••• the Twent7- fifth AnniYersary and, •• it happened, it brought Lowell hia first Taoation in nearly twent7 7eara on the air. Th• two things put together 1uggeated a oelebration - fl7iag around the world. Be wanted this to be aoaetbing special- for the anniTersary of that First World Ylight, for •hie~ he had been the official Historian, land on which he bad been unable to go.) ' - So he tried to think up an idea - and one thin& ca■• to ■ ind, a notion that's a dreaa tor any tra••l•r. Years ago Lowell had aade a journey fro ■ ln4ia to Atahaniatan - olo••d ooantry that •a• hard to 1et into. There be had a fJrtber aabition - of reaohin1 the aoat 4iftioalt 1oal of all, getting into ·Tibet for a trip to Lhasa, the forbidden city. f•• ad•entarer• ha•• e••r •••• it - lthat claa1io for the tra•eler to distant laa41.J Lowell aade lnqairiea, aade atte ■pt1 to aet perai••loa - but it •a• DO ao. Tb• clo••4-in land of Tibet, OD th• roof of th• world, ••• •hat ti&bt. Bat the aabition liaa•r•d on, and Lowell tboa1bt that aoae da7 he ai1ht be able to aak• the Journey to L~•• Add it all ap, and you ha•• the anawer - oaly i\ aeeaed an i■pos1ible answer. E•rly thia 1aa■er, Lowell sent an inquiry out to India - •woura it be po••ible to 1• into Tibet?• Be addr••••d letters to a high official of the Indian Govern ■ent whoa be knew, and to the A■eriou Aabasaador to India, Loy Henderson, an old friend. Be L.t. -4 didn't expect an7thin& to happen, not a chance in a thou1and - just •hooting in the dark. Tibet had alwa7• aade it a policy to keep out Westerners - and ■ore 10 of late than eYer. 80 ■• thirt7 7ear1 aao the7 had let ia t•• Britiab partiea, let the ■ iD jaat a little wa7 - tor atte ■pte to oli■b Mount EYereat.

Still worae, there were earthqaat•• ia Tibet aoon afterward - the Qodd111 of the aoantain waa an1r1 indeed. So the Tibetan• oloaed their border• ■ore tightl7 than •••r. And the atat1 of international affair• enoouraaed the Tibetan• to k••P their frontier• •••led. In Lhaaa, the ainiatera of the Dalal La■a noted tur■oil in A1ia, the 1tru11l• tor power, the ••r• and •11reasiona, the aenace of Co■auniaa. The7 said - foreianera are not welcoae. That'• the background tor the aurpriae which hit Lowell Thomas during the suaaer. Ria tbousand-to-one-ahot L. T. -5 ca■• through. To his amazement. word oaae fro ■ India tha\ th• ■ iniatera of the Dalai La■a had inYited hi■ into Tibe\ for a Yisit to Lhasa. It seemed 10 incredible that Lowell didn't want to talk about it - afraid that, if there were any publicity, there aight be a ohan1e of aind. Th• Tibetan official• ■ i1ht oMncel the inYitation. Bence the 1eoreo7, with Lowell flyia1 aroand the world, and not telling wba\ the ••oret •t.-off would be - a trip up into tibet, a pil1ri ■a1e to Lbaaa. Be'• there now. The laat •• heard of bla, he ••• leaYing by caraYaa. Be••• at the ton of Qanatot, la the natl•• state of Sikkl ■, at the foot of the hiah Bi ■alaya1 - fro ■ which, paaaea up to ••••nteen thouean4 feet lead to the yaat Bi■ alayan plateau called Tibet. There is no airline to Lhasa, not eTen sotor traffic into Tibet. There are no wheels in that country of aonast1ri11 and La■aa, Buddhist aonka. The only ■ eans of tranaportattaa are Jaka, Yongol pea.ea - traYel by caravan. Ten days of that through dizzy paeaea on the Biaalayan road to ~haaa. Since Lowell left, newa baa been filterin& through - how the goTernaent of the »alai Laaa baa ordere4 intense Tigilanoe against a apread of Coaauniaa ia China, where the Reda haTe been rolling on.
