The Brother- hood wil sten to no pro- position which allows foreign influence to remain in Egypt in any shape or form, and it is, therefore, quite beyond the bounds of possibility that there could be any alliance between Britain and

which brought him 10 power. If this be no the Moslem Brotherhood must have been working ex- tremely surreptitiously in order to pose even a threat to General Naguib's position. With the Wafdists disbanded, and enjoying the foll backing of the Army, he appeared to be unassail- able, und despite the official statement that "the policy of the Moslem Brotherhood recently had been a revolt against the regime," it is not vasy to accept this on face value.

AN AMERICAN WARTIME AIR HERO SWERVED HIS CRIPPLED PHILIPPINES DC-6 AWAY FROM A CROWDED APARTMENT VILLAGE TODAY SECONDS BEFORE IT PLUNGED IN FLAMES INTO A MUDDY WHEAT FIELD OUTSIDE ROME, KILLING ALL 16 PERSONS ABOARD.

Ira Broome, Army Air Force veteran with four decora tions, and three other Americans died in Italy's second dis-

astrous air crash in five days. A British Comet jetliher went |

down on Sunday, killing 35.

The Manila-to-London Philippines Air Lines luxury transport, with two engines dead, crashed with a violent explosion while wheeling through a drenching rain for a landing at Ciampino airport. The plane and all aboard were blown to bits.

Broome, former Air Force major and chief pilot of PAL, was credited with saving countless lives among the 1,000 men, women and children in the block of low cost apartments in the Gordiani district six miles from the heart of Rome.
