Winston Churchill, back in London today from his American trip, rushed strai ht to the Foreign Office with Anthony Eden for top-level conferences on t h e Egyptian crisis.

Today, re-reading Burton Holmes' superb l•cture on Egypt that he delivered long years ago, I came across the following - speaking of Lord Cromer, great British pro-consul in Egypt: He gave them two things they needed moat, water and justice. "He transformed a nation of slaves into a nation or rree men. " And now, the modern Egyptians, entirely forgetting their historic debt, repay the British with this orgy of arson. ,...........--- SBIP~ A pall of smoke still hangs low over C~iro tonight, fed by the smoldering embers of S A turday•s fire that swept away forty buildings - the heart of the largest city in Africa. Today's news says thatGore than one hundred and fifty fires were set by the frenzied crow~hat swept down the famous avenue, Sharia Kemal Pasha. That mob that howled for revenge against the British, and then proceeded to take it out on French and Americans too. (Night clubs, theaters and bars - _ · the haunt of foreigners - were the first to go up 1n smoke; then the orgy spread to foreign buaineaa houses, banks am automobile oanpantes - all put to the torch in Cairo•a night of terror.

Luckily, they were f l y i n ~ six thousand 1-eM - and, at four thouaand.,fM'&.,, the pilo got the plane out of the dive, baok under control, and ~ went flying on. A It was one wild experience with the passenger• many of whom were a s l e e p ~ - ~ ~ - early in the morning. When the airliner took the nose-dive, they were tossed around in wild confusion, head over heel• - the ba. 6age piling a.long on top of them. A few suffered minor injuries, in the helter skelter tossing a.bout. There's a. supposition that something might have gond wren with the mechanism of the plane. But that seems impossible. Because, after the plunge, the air-li~er acted nor m ally, and flew on for a routitle landing a Clevel a nd. Another ues is more likely - some freak of -2- the at osphere, so m e phenomenal twist of air currents. The weather was ood, no sign of any disturbance. But the plane had just flown over Pittsburgh, and w as leavin g the space a bove that City - when down she went. Which reminds us of a fact of meteorol ogy - that a great city, with all the heated buildings, warms up the air a lot. The warm air ascends, and sets up rising currents. These might bes ~ strong that a plane, flying suddenly out of a rising current, might drop - the way t ha t airliner did. - lJPHOO,li The Fiji Isl nds - h it by a typhoon, the mos t violent t a t Fiji ha . ever k nown. Those Melanfs1an A. Isl and s i n the S o uth sea! are in the zone of the tropical tempest - a Pacific Ocean version of the tlantic Hurricane. They've been blasted often, but never by anything like the typhoon today. In the capital City of Suva, the wind blew at a hund·ed and forty miles an hour . - with a deluge of rain lashing like a whip. It ble, the roof~ off most of the houses, and even flattened a building constructed of concrete. In the harbor, the docks disappeared - blown and was ed away. Ships? Why, fle e ts of anchored vessels were simply dragged acros s the water and hurled onto the beach. T . e R oy al New Ze a land Air Force bas a base in t h e Fiji l s a s, and it was wrecked.
