Martial Taw Brings Quiet After lliidiiig

CAIRO, Jan. 28 --(Monday) - (CP) - King Farouk, acting abruptly in his palace in the

heart of his snioke-blackened. cur- few-silent capital, last night dis- missed the Egyptian Government which had been unable to prevent or halt Saturday's orgy of rioting, arson and looting.

News of the King's sudden move buzzed over tclephond wires as the city was just beginning to recover from a day and a night of terror at the hands of frenzied antl-Brit- isli mobs. Landmarks razed in- cluded the famous Sheplieard'.s Hotel.

The King dismissed Premier Mustapha Nahas Pasha and all his Wafdist Party cabinet. He named an independent, Aly Maher Pasha, to form a government from the four parties who had opposed Nahas Pasha in parliament. He will also hold the posts of foreign minister and minister for lthe army and navy.

Rigid Curfew

This sudden political turn came while Cairo, under the clump of martial law, its streets deserted. its citizens confined to their home af- ter nightfall by a rigid curfew. still totalled the deaths and dam- age from Saturday's violence.

The premier designate, Mather Pasha. was premier early in the Second World War. but was in- terned later after a member of Prime Minister Winston Churchill's Government accused him of talk- mg with the Italian enemy.

His first public announcement was that he would seek to restore law and order though he would continue striving to achieve nat- ional aspirations-evacuiitlon of British forces from the Suez Canal zone and union with the Sudan.

Many Arrested

Faud serag I-:1 Din Pasha, in- terior minister in Nahas Pashs's cabinet, told reporters that 300 persons had been arrested as re- sponsible for Saturday's events, He said the police were still rounding up the ringleader: and others ous- pected of having fomented the disturbances.

Ahmed Hussein, Hitler and Muuolln and leader of the pre-war Green shirts. was among those under arrest. lie was charged with "top responsibility" for the mob action. ,

Police estimated that about 20 persons had been killed and 80

100,000 Sheep, 30,000 Cattle Lost In. Australian Bush.Fires; 8 Persons Dead

MELBOURNE. Australia. Jan, 27 -(Reuters)-A great pail of smoke hung over the entire southeastern corner of this continent today from raging bushfires which have swept through the tlndery scrub- land, burning at least eight per- sons to death and causing untold

damage to livestock and farm- lands. -

The stench of burned animals drifted across the main off-shore shipping lanes and lighthouse keepers sounded fog horns to

keep boats from running aground on the shrouded coast.

Agricultural experts estimate the fires have caused more than 08.000000 worth of damage. On the south coast alone 100,000sheep and 80,000 cattle have been killed.

Besides the eight people con- firmed dead and at least eight critically burned several others are missing.

Heavy rains smothered the blazes in several areas last night. but today the bush lept into flames again cutting black swathcs miles wide across the land,

In one area convicts were re- leased from jail l-o help cut fire- brcaks and heat back the flames. W-hole townships have been moh- lllzed to bring the roaring inferno under control.

The government has ordered a probe into the cause of the dis- aster. One of the worst fires is known to have started when a hunter fired-an incendiary bullet att a rabbit.

The R.A.A F'. is keeping planes ready in Melbourne to fly needed blood plasma to victims in the fire-stricken areas. Doctors and nurses are working on a. round- the-clock schedule to treat the in- jured,

Viciim WEN Mobs Burn British Club

Protest Planned

OTTAWA. Jan. 2'1-(CP)-Can- ads. will make an official protest against. rioting which led to the death of Joseph Macleod Boyer, Canodan trade commissioner, kil- led in Cairo Saturday, diplomatic officials said today.

since Canada has no direct dip- lomatic link with the Egyptian Government, the protest will be

made through the United King- dom. officials said. But no other action is being

platined against Egypt though of- flclals here were deeply moved by the report that the 54-year-old commissioner was a victim of an- ti-foreign demonstrations in Cairo.

H. W. Cheney, acting director of the trade commissioner service, said the report of the death was "a tremendous shock." Officials in Cairo had said only a short -while ago that they thought they could ride through the uprising without being molested.

It was believed to be the such killing in Canadian trade commissioner history. There had been other deaths in the world- wide service. but none involved the same set of circumstances which saw a Canadian become a victim in a split between two other pow- crs.

Mr. Boyer. a veteran of two world wars. was not the kind of man to incite hatred or ill-feeling. his trade department colleagues said. Tall and spare, he was re- served and hard-working, ever mindful of his duty.

Native 0! N. B.

Reports from Cairo said Mr. Boyer. native of Victoria, N. B.. was among three men who died when the rioting mobs burned the fashionable British Turf Club in the centre of Cairo.

The body has been identified by C. E. Butterworth, 2'7. of Ottawa assistant trade commission at Cairo. He will take over the, trade commissioners duties until a new appointment is made.

The body may be brought back to Canada for burial.

The body may he brought back her husband. but is reported here as being safe. The Bayers have two children, Fred James. 28. with the American Airlines. Toronto, and Mrs. Ralph Robinson, 24, Mom.
