CHICAGO (ANP)- A Negro

Of it's kind for a Negro anywhere
in the United States.
AS a member of this board DR..
Giles will help control issuing of
licenses to pharmacists through
out the state, and also will be in
charge of examinations. This
body's third big job is to guard

Of this new position, DR.. Giles
said:
Il feel that this is a great
honor. In the long run this means
more for the Negro race as a

In particular Dr.. Giles felt that

said:
The presence of a Negro on

oveTthe laws when it came to serv-
.ng Negroes. This should be an

ceremony here last month.
The Chronicle said it was told
by the Egyptian Embassy in
Washington that the King already
has stripped Ghali of his. diplo-
matte status and informed the
United States immigration De-
partment he is now an alien resi-
dent.
The King, opposing the mar
riage Of Ghali, Coptic Christian
to the youngest member OF the
royal family of Moslems, was re-
ported considering steps to have
Princess Fathyia and the Queen
Mother Nazli returned to Egypt.
Hasn't Been Notified.
Ghali. the Queen mothers Sec
retary, said he had not been noti-
fed officially that either the
United States or the Egyptian
government is taking steps to
have the royal party leave this
country.
He was told that Cairo newSpa-
pers carried stories by their WASH
tngton correspondents that the
United States plans to cancel the
diplomatic visas Of the Queen, the
princess and himself.
In Washington, a spokesman
for the Egyptian Embassy SAID
that Ghali, former member OF
the ministry Of foreign affairs,
had not had diplomatic status
for 18 months or longer. This
press attache, Mohamed Ali
Nassef, told a reporter he does
not know whether Ghali has a
diplomatic VISA He added that
maybe he has a special pass
port"
The spokesman said he had no
knowledge of any United States
plans to cancel the visas of the
princess, the Queen and Ghali,
nor of any request by his gov
ernment that such action be
taken. He said he could not
predict whether there would be
a cancellation.
If such action is taken Ghali
said, he would regard it as the
result of a request by King Farouk
Of Egypt to the United States Gov
ernment.
Says He Would Have to Go.
I'VE would have no choice but
to CO." Ghali said. In Washing
ton there was no official comment
on the report.
The attractive princess and
Ghali were married-with the
queen mothers blessing-at civil
ceremony here April rs. but have

Farouk's Crown Council meets

The council has power to place
the princess wealth under custody
and declare the marriage void.
King Farouk, the royal family
and the government are to to
have made several attempts to
prevent the marriage. 1t is re-
ported they asked the queen
mother and her daughter to re-
turn to Egypt, and that finally
Egypt asked the United States to
order Queen Nazli and Princess
Fathyia to leave this country.
The queen, who has been here
for medical treatment for nine
months, sided with her daughter
and fiance, and has tried to per-
suade King Farouk to approve the
marriage.
Ghali said the queen talked by
telephone today with Egypt's
Prime Minister Mustapha Nahas
Pasha, but he did not say what
they discussed.
