Syrian Army Ousts
Premier In Favor
Closer Soviet 'lies
CAIRO, (/P) — Syria’s strong
man — Col. Adib Shishekly —
threw out of office a newly-ap
pointed premier who had urged
closer ties between the Arab na
tions and Russia. The Syrian
army seized control of the en
tire country.
Radio Damascus said Marouf
Dawalibi, a Populist Party lead
er who had been named premier
only Wednesday night, and all
members of his cabinet, were
placed under arrest.
Shishekly, who has led the last
three coups in Syria, accused the
Populists of trying to “arouse the
people against the army and
create new difficulties at a time
when the country is facing im
portant problems, especially in
foreign policy.”
Syria occupies a strategic place
in the Arab Middle East. In area
it covers 73,857 square miles, a
little smaller than South Dakota,
but it is a key spot on a land
bridge where Europe, Africa and
Asia meet.

COMMUNICATION
November 28
In making inspections of
Nome’s eating and drinking es
tablishments, a definite health
hazard has been found to be
common practice.
The bartender or waiter in
carrying a cigaret to and from
his lips, while serving guests, in
evitably contaminates his fingers
with saliva. Then, through touch
ing food and dishes the saliva is
conveyed to these articles and
thus eventually, to the customer’s
mouth.
The danger of this practice is
obvious. Not only tuberculosis,
but many other infectious dis
eases can be spread in this man
ner. Esthetically, too, this habit
is obnoxious.
What holds true for eating es
tablishments also applies to bar
ber shops and beauty parlors in
this instance.
The public is requested to help
protect its health against this
menace.

Cattle Grazing On Field
Blamed For Crash of
C-54 In Mexico
MEXICO CITY, (ff) — Cattle
grazing over an air strip were
blamed last night by a Mexican
official for the crash of a C-54
plane in which 13 Mexicans were
killed and seven injured.
The plane—on a local flight to
Acapulco and Mexico City with
18 passengers and two crewmen
—came in for a stop-off at San
Luis Zacatlan at dusk, but found
the grass-grown airport overrun
with feeding cattle.
The pilot circled the field while
attendants shooed the cattle away
but the delay forced him to take
off for Acapulco in the dark. The
plane either ran into a hole, or
hit a post and burst into flames.
