Arabs will not officially be represented at the coronation next May of King George VI, it was learned here today. An invitation to attend the ceremonies has been declined by Amin Bey Abdul Hadi, secretary of the Arab Supreme Committee. The decision not to attend, it was learned, was the result of pressure by the Moslem Supreme Council, of which the Grand Mufti, Haj Amin el Husseini, is the head.
