Thus far, the King seems to be conclling progress with Islamic nservalism in the land ol the ly places, Mecca and Medina, he is walking a light rope. Sheik AMdazIz Bin Baz, vice esldent of the Islamic imiver- at Medina, wrote an article In two Arabic ncwspa- re (controlled, like all others, the government) on 20 Rama- an If the Moslem year 1385, or anuary II, 1966. In It he said: "Much publicity has been given to the theory that the earth tales and the sun Is fixed I ought it my duty to write a rief essay that would guide the ader to the proofs of the falsity of this theory and to of the Hence I the Holy Koran, the prophet's teaching, the majority of Islamic jcien- lists and the actual (act all prove that the sun is running In its or- as Almighty Cod ordained, and that the earth is fixed and stable, spread out by God for his mankind and made a bed and a cradle for them fixed down (irmly by mountains lest it shake." The article included many sp- posite verses from the Koran and quotations from the traditional teachings of the prophet and the sages of Islam. "Anyone who professed otherwise would utter infidelity and deviation, because such an act is a charge of falsehood toward God, the Koran and the jirophet," Bin Baz continued. "And any person who diarges tin Ataljhty, Ui boty bcok prophet with falsehood is deviated deviating infidel, who should be asked to renounce this attitude and repent or else be executed to die an apostate and infidel whose wealth then goes to the Moslem public treasury." The Sheik added; "Inasmuch as this theory is Inconsistent with Islamic teachings law, It is also contradictory to fact and equivocal in logic and reason.

If the earth were totaling, ae has been claimed, towns, mountains, trees, rivers and eas would have no liability, and people would have teen the towns of the East on the West and the towns of the West en the Copies of the article found their way to Cairo, where the prui delighted to aee a new indication of "Saudi reaction and backwardness." One newspaper, Al ilusa- war, proclaimed gleefully that Saudi Arabia had decided the earth was flat. Under pressure at borne, Sheik Bui Bat wrote second article published May Jl saying he kad not announced the earth was flat but only that tie earth was fixed and that UK sun revolved arowd and that those who claimed otherwise should be punished. Jkkiah and Riyad, the main cities of Saudi Arabia, buzzed excitedly about the controversy, but the aecular university at Hi- yad has continued to teach Western astronomy and celestial mechanics.

Although Saudi Arabia's only constitution Is the Koran, no one has demanded that the pro- lesson who Ml tak riudeaii earth turnj on its axis and rotates around the recant. When a visiting Joumatet Interviewed the King the other day, he was warned In advance by court officials that the King must not be asked to comment directly on Sheik Bin Baz'i But the King did reply to a question on the problem of reconciling progress with tradilion, Illustrated with a reference, to Galileo. 'We have our or Islamic law, which calls ior and urges everything that Is good and In the Interest of humanity," the King said. "We cannot Hindly accept all that it called progress but must out the good and reject the bad. Since Islamic law prohibits nothing good, there Is no problem.

There may be of Interpretation, but the law can resolve such differences. "Things that are good for the an fa forernmtnl, we clei to food It if duty to respect the thi roen who interpret and apply lamlc law but we allow no to obstruct the best a the people."
