ALMOST DESTITUTE
AGA KHAN’S PLIGHT WEALTH BEYOND REACH i (Reed. July 21, 11 a.m.) LONDON, July 21. The Aga Khan, one of the world’s wealthiest men, is stranded in Switzerland almost penniless with his Frenchborn wife and seven-year-old son. ( Interviewed by the Sunday Despatch, he said: “I can’t get a cent through from India, Egypt, or London. I may have sufficient for a year with the strictest economy.” He smilingly added: “You might say lam almost destitute. What is the use of money if you can’t get it. We are refugees like millions of others, but must be thankful that we are still alive.”
