There were 1860 personal tax
returns filed for Noble county
according to Auditor Gilbert B
Long. The deadline was last
Tuesday, March 31st, although

Egyptian Court Will Try
Ex-Kinu Farouk in Absenfia
By the Asseeinted Pres.

CAIRO, Nov. ia judge of
Egypt's revolutionary court says
the tribunal will try ex-King
Farouk in absentia. The former
monarch, outsted in a 1852
Army backed coup, is living in
exile in Italy.
The justice, Hassan Ibrahim,
did not specify what charges
might be placed against Farouk,
but President Mohammed Ma
guib's regime has accused the
former King of graft and abuse
of power.
Ibrahim told a student group
yesterday the court would begin
the trial as soon as all the neces-
sary evidence had been collected,
He added that, if convicted,
Farouk would be considered a
criminal abroad instead of a
political refugee.
Reports here have said Italy
would not permit Farouk's ex-
