The lop-sided vote—running as | high as 10 to one for the Wafdists was considered a rebuke to the { Saadist party and indirectly to King Farouk for the poor showing made Lty Egypt in the Palestine war.

He dis- d them from office in 1944 | mis and has often ruled with a strong hand through Saadist and coali- tion governments. Premier Hussein Sirry Pasha, an independent elder statesman who formed a neutral government to run the election, said four persons were killed in election day dis- orders. Under Egyptian censorship, the election was reported to have { ceen a quiet one.

The lines of the New ‘51" flow in an almost aerodynamic pattern which is appropriate in a pen which takes so well to flying. Inside, I was impressed with the im- proved filling mechanism, one of many advances. It is made of new and exclusive materials and has only one moving part. The New Parker ‘51’ appears to have achieved that functional simplicity of good modern design.” Use dry-writing Parker Superchrome Ink or Parker Quink with solv-x.
