ISRAELI ARMY HEAD MEETS BEDOUIN CHIEF
Transcribed from the clipping
ISRAELI ARMY HEAD MEETS BEDOUIN CHIEF—Maj. Gen. Rav-Aloof Yigael Yadin, Israeli Army Chief of Staff, recently paid his frist official visit to Sheikh Suliman al-Hezail, head of the Tauaha tribes, and one of the most important Bedouin Sheikhs in the Negev. The meeting took place in Beersheba, Israel. Above, Maj. Gen.

How this transcription was made
Read from the scan by a machine looking at the image of the page, not by optical character recognition and not by a person. The clipping carries no masthead or date line, so its date and newspaper rest on the record it arrived with, not on anything visible in the scan.
Context added by this archive
Date check: No masthead, page date line or page number is present in this clipping, so neither the 1950-05-19 date nor the publication (Alexander City Outlook) can be confirmed from the image. The photograph carries a wire-service logo in its lower left corner, a circular monogram consistent with an agency credit mark, but it is not legible enough to name.
