Armstrong Jr., a member of the staff of Fleet All Weather Training Unit, Atlan- tic, Key West, Florida, for the last two years, has recently been trans- ferred to the Advanced Training Command, Naval Air Station, Cor- pus Christi, Texas. He entered the Navy in June 1942 as .an aviation cadet and in October 1942, he was designated a Naval aviator at Pensacola, Fla.

He had four major palaces and a half- dozen others scattered around the owned by various members of the royal household. These particular 12,000' acres have been estimated to be worth $17,220,000. The annual income for Farouk from these lush acres was $2,152,000. He got another $3,731,000 from the Egyptian state last year to run the royal household. Just from these two sources alone, Farouk had an annual in- come of nearly six million dollars a year. He had other resources, of course, including his secret Tholdings abroad. These have been estimated at between 40 million and 60 million dollars in cash and securities on foreign banks. When the whole story of the vast Farouk economic structure is Pieced together there is virtually no chance that Farouk will ever get a penny out of Egypt. There has been a public clamor for con- fiscation of his properties. Already his four major palaces have been put directly under the control of the government. By L. S.
