Last week Arab leaders flew to Amman, capital of Trans-Jordan, to talk to the one man most Arabs thought could save Palestine for them. King Abdullah said that he would lead his Arab Legion (10,000 men) and Syrian and Lebanese armies into Palestine by May 1. Said Jamal el Husseini, No. 2 man to Abdullah's old rival, the Mufti: "When we have won, the Legion will return across the border.
