Apr 8, 2013 at 19:02	comment	added	Philip Ehrlich		Yes, Ali. In fact, the papers of Morely and Vaught and Alling, as well as the closely related works of Jónnson (on homogeneous-universal structures) and Keisler and Kochen all appeared about the same time. All of these folks were well aware of Hausdorff's work on $\eta_{\alpha}$-orderings, but not his construction of an $\eta_{\1}$-field. All of this work, which I believe deserves to be better well known, is part of the subject matter of my aforementioned historical work in progress.

It is amusing that Alling's paper came out in the same year as the classical paper of Morley and Vaught on saturated models (Homogeneous universal models. Math. Scand. 11 1962, 37–57).
