Ex-prsmIsr Of Egypt
Dies In Cairo
Mohemmsd Mohmoud
Pesha Sueeumbs at So

OCAIRO, Egypt, Feb. 3-R-
Mohammed Mahmoud Pasha,
So. Egyptian defense minister
and former premier of his
country. died early Saturday.
Mahmoud, Oxford-educated,
long had been an active MEN,
Der of the liberal constitution
party and q consistent opponent
Of the wafdists (nationalists) :.
He first served as premier In
1923 and 1929, and in succeed
ing years held such important
cabinet posts as minister Of fin
ance, justice and interior.
He was called again to the
premiership in 1887, VIII e n
young King Farouk dismissed
Premier Mustapha Nahas Pas
ha, wafdist leader, and after
months Of unrest succeeded in
forming coalition cabinet.
Mahmoud resigned as premier
in August, 1899, because of i'll
health.
Although he had aroused
British criticism by inclusion of
allegedly pro-Italian members
in his cabinet, Mahmoud took
occasion in September, 1898, to
pledge Egypt's loyalty to Bril-
tain in case Of war. Months
later, when German propaganda
minister Paul Joseph Goebbels
visited Cairo, Mahmoud warned
him to refrain from propagan-
dizing while in Egypt.
He had remained in retire
ment during the early months
of the war, but when the situa-
ton grew critical in the near
east last summer he accepted a
portfolio as minister of defense

She did not connect that with
the fact that only a few hours
later Bill remarked, Funny,
you never heard from anyone. I
should think an old friend might
call up sometime. Maybe even
drive over" His eyes watched
her.
"Do you mean Suzanne? Or
my landlady?"
He dropped 1t. But the next
week, he was at it again. And
how Martha realized that this
was serious. This was what &C.
cupied his mind, when it should
be on soldering.
"Bill, why do you keep harp
ing on my old friends? What's
the matter with your"
"Oh, I'm just wondering. Like
Wednesday. I phoned and you
weren't there"
II happened to be at the drug
store, waiting for a prescription"
"Why didn't you call back?"
"You know I don't like to put
toll charges on Helen bill"
always have a good excuse,
don't your"
She was suddenly, devastat-
ingly angry. Look here, Bill,
this has been on your mind a
long time. You've kept asking
me. Over and over. Last week
and the week before. Do you
think I'm seeing Paul? Is that
it? You're so busy stewing about
Paul, you have no time to apply
yourself to learning what you
were sent here to learn! Stop
limiting! Simply ask me whether
I've seen him. I'll tell YOU"
"Well, have your"
"No!" Her fingers were shak-
ing. Don't you believe me? Bill,
what's the matter with you? I'm
doing everything ! possibly can
to please you. I'm there at
Helen's-Tm stuck, like a vege-
table in a stew! All I have to
look forward to are these Sum
day visits. And now you're
you're"
SO you're stuck, at Helen's?
Not as gay as having dates with
Paul, huh?"
She stared at him, aghast. All
these weeks, he had been nurs-
mig this resentment which she
thought was ended. All these
weeks, jealousy had been gnaw-
ing at him. She could see it in
his eyes, ugly and angry. He was
like a stranger.
BILL" she pleaded, "you
know I haven't seen Paul since
the accident. Why can't you
forget it? There's no use drag
ging it up now-no use our
quarreling over a thing that
never meant anything in the
first place-a thing that's over,
done with"
"How can I be sure?" he asked
coldly.
"You might try building q
fence around mel" she snapped
bitterly. And then she was run
ming, and Bill was running after
her.
Oh, they made II up, that time.
But il was still there, the next
time she went to the camp. Like
an evil miasma floating in the
air around them. Like q veil of
fog, through which she tried to
reach her husband and couldn't.
She thought about IL at night,
alone in her bed In the room
which she shared with Helen. II
Bill kept this up, resigning her
job had been futile. She might Is
well be living. doing the work
she loved. Would nothing drive
out Of his mind this mad jeal-
ously?

living in the little bungalow of
Bayville was the fact that it was
close enough to Bills camp for
regular Sunday visits at trifling
expense. Once Eugene and the
children piled into the car and
looked around the camp. But
most Sundays Martha drove up
alone in the old car. Eugene's
mechanic at the garage had done
q good job of rejuvenation.
Bill and Martha and Butch
spent Sundays which were al
most, II not quite, the equal of
the blissful Sundays they had
known before Bill became a
soldier. They tramped the woods
beyond the camp, they sat for
hours in the car, talking and
making plans for the future.
Once in a while, Bill asked
casually, "See anybody from
homer" She always said, "No,
How would II"
The camp became as familiar
to Martha as the field outside Air
Transport once had been. She
even made the acquaintance of a
piquant little person who was
the will of q Regular Army
sergeant and who Dragged about
having lived on army posts from
Schofield, in Hawaii, to Fort
Davis, in the Canal Zone.
"Me," said Aggie Moore gaily,
I'm q maneuver widow from
way back. Always swear I'll
stay home-and always come
trotting along" She sent Martha
q shrewd glance, there in the
MOO clubroom, where she had
invited Martha to wait while Bill
secuted around after his pass. at
keeps them happy, you know. No
little green snakes sliding under
the bunk, no wonder who's kiss
in her now blues"
Martha laughed. But the blood
was warm in her face. Aggie
Moore went on, matter-of-factly,
"You can't make a soldier out of
q guy the jealousy bugs been
eating on. And let me tell you, in
the Army like every place else,
it's the girl behind the guy who
counts!
"You know what they're doing
now? New enlistees can't marry
until they've made one of the
first three pay grades. It may be
because the brass hats think a
soldier lower than third can't
support q wife. But II you ask
me-and I've been in the Army
10 years-it's because wives GER
tainly can play hell with the
ARMY"
II suppose they can"
The other girl sent her a
quick, appraising glance. II hope
you won't think I'm butting in

hearing that your husbands get

Martha Marshall never re-
membered, afterward, what she
said to Bill when. he asked her
q resign from Air Transport.
All she remembered was the
sick surprise, the sudden aching
sense Of loss.
She loved her job. She loved
the busy office, the ringing
telephone. She loved the feeling
o. competence and usefulness,
the heartening self-respect for
herself a m individual, that
came It her desk.
And her check meant q great
deal to her. To give It up was to

unchansing complaints about
business.

helplessly, III it were necessary

Yet though the blood pounded
Ia her temples, though her knees
felt queer. she promised, of

she had promised.
She told herself that Bill want
Cd her to quit 50 that she and
Paul Elliott wouldn't be thrown
together any more. "He trusts
me. He does trust me. But he
thinks this way it'll be easier"
Maybe he was right. She set
her lips. Only q few months,
after Ill. Perhaps 1t wasn't much
20 ask. Perhaps knowing
that Bill could have no doubts,
no fears, while she lived at
Helen's would be worth this
Price.

from the hospital, she asked

Danger Ahead. Though

There are several tendencies in
America, however, that if ignored too
long, will change the American way
to the ways of the dictators.
There is growing trend in Wash
ington toward control Of sources of
vital information. This trend was eX-
planned thoroughly last Friday eve
ming at the journalism conference in
Morgantown by Turner Catledge,
Washington correspondent of the
New York Times.
This control of information would
eventually lead to a control of the
press and a censorship such as the
dictator nations have at the present
time.
The speaker conceded legitimate
purpose on the part of the govern
ment to maintain secrecy regarding
military secrets but complained Of the
general trend. But he urged that
newspaper editors demand the facts
so that the public will be better pre-
pared to meet whatever challenges
may be in the dark days ahead.
Citing his efforts to learn the war
production records for a feature story
he told of finally obtaining some in
formation that mentioned only gen
eralities as for instance the produc-
ton of tanks had increased 800 per-
cent, bombers 1900 percent, ma
chine guns 600 percent.
After printing the article he was
chided by Bernard NJ Baruch for a
misleading story and when asked
why, Baruch told him that the 800
percent increase in tank production
had meant only tanks; the 140C
4 percent increase in a type of bomber
had meant IA bombers, and so on
But the writer had used the infor-
nation released by a high govern
ment authority.
The tendency is to boost the gov
eminent, to paint rosy picture, tC
befuddle the people and lead them
into false sense of security.
Similar happenings occurred in

Savage Dam Site Is
S. Percent Complete
S5.274,000 Job Is Scheduled to
Be Finished in December
Of 1912

Work on the huge Savage River
dam site, scheduled for completion
December, 1912, at an estimated cost
of $5,274,OO0 is approximately SIS per
cent complete.
Engineers announced part of the
small mountain of earth that will i'm
pound 6,50O,OO0,0 900 gallons of water
already had reached its planned peak
of IT'S feet above the valley floor.
Thousands of truck loads of earth
and stone are being moved across the
Savage River valley to make this
water supply, needed by Cumberland
industries. The WPA workers-716 of
them now compared with peak Of
1,200-have transformed the once
peaceful valley into a dynamo of
activity.
1870 Carloads of Cement Needed
TO date $4,000 cubic yards of i'm
pervious clay forming the core of the
dam have been scratched from nearby
hills and tamped into place. Engineers
estimate 745,000 cubic yards will be
required. along with 100000 yards
of gravel and stone facing 634,000 of
which already have been moved into
place.
The dam will stretch 1,150 feet
across the valley. It's base will be
1850 feet thick, SHINING to a 25-
foot top. The 32O-foot spillway at the
east end, built twenty feet below the
top of the dam, is about one-fourth
complete.
C. B. Cornell, assistant superinten-
dent in charge of engineering, said
1870 railroad carloads of cement would
be used in the spillway and spillway
channel, through which water will
drop to the bed of the valley in speeds
up to a mile minute.
When water, backed up two miles
in fingers of the valley, is not flow
ing over the spillway, it can be re-
leased as needed through diversion
tunnels piercing the dam. These are
complete and 3O-inch needle valves
could release up to 390000,000 gal
Ions a day.
The WPA crew has not stopped
with work on the huge dam. Since
the project got underway in October
1889, they have built more than six
miles of road and constructed bridges
over Middle Fork, Crabtree Run and
Dry Run.
When freezing weather halts most
of the activity on the dam itself, most
of these workers, left jobless by mine
shutdowns in the Georges Creek area
will be used on road work at the dan
site , u
Army engineers, who designed the
dam, visited the site recently anC
praised both quality and quantity Of
the work. Joseph H. Zimmerman
resident WPA engineer, said the big
gest job ahead was to fill wide cut
but he expressed confidence thai
even this would not prevent worl
being completed on schedule.
