Guests of Wind and Arab Gifts on Navy Vessel
A Navy ship hosted Arab guests who entertained the crew with a deck scene and a Hollywood war film. Saud visited below deck, fell asleep, and later gave gifts totaling 13,000 in Arab clothing and jewelry to crew, with sailors receiving at least 40 dollars and officers up to full dress plus purses. Navy regulations blocked acceptance, so the items were forwarded to Washington for ruling.
