MAX THORNBURG I have just hear d of the passing of one of the m ost remarkable me1•icans of our day, Max Weston Thornburg, a native eon of C alifornia, who played a key role in the openin g up of the vast middle east oil world. Then he retired and made his home part of the time on an island in the Persian the Gulf, ~ island of ufA'Sabaan, which was presented to him by the ~ler of the Bahre1n Archipelago. Rather recently he gave the island back to the peo~le of Bahrein, and had been living on the Cal1~ornia coast Just north of San Francisco. -ir As we all know, governments often fail to use their ablest men. Max Thornburg probably knew more about the peoples ;\ of the middle east than any living person, thelr economy, their Ill political affairs, and manners of tt1 living.
