TENSION COMES TO A HEAD
(Rec. 1 p.m.) LONDON, October 8. illeuter's Cairo correspondent says that tension had existed between King Farouk and Nahas Pasha. This was increased recently when King Farouk saw many "notices" reading " Long live Nahas Pasha." The King ordered the Director * of Public Security to remove these notices. The director did so, whereupon Nahas Pasha dismissed the director. King Farouk, in a letter dismissing Nahas Pasha, said: "As I am anxious that Egypt should be governed by a democratic Government; treating all Egyptians equally regarding rights and duties, and ensuring equal quantities of food and clothing for the people, I have decided to dismiss your Cabinet."
