Ciuatilla Indian, drew life sent

changed his plea from innocent to
guilty yesterday, was sentenced to
25 years.
Akiiiaigh the court did not cc.ai

drew the lighter sentence because,
unlike his companions, he had not

near Arlington before being cap

Judge Fee asked Markdoll and
Ibishmnn, who pleaded guilty last
week shortly after iheir arrest,
whether they had any statement
to make. Kach replied dully,
Counsel for Crum made n short
appeal on the grounds thai ltiH

FAROUK, AT 18, INSTALLED
AS FIRST RULER OF EGYPT
UNDER INDEPENDENT STATUS
CAIItO, F.gypl, July 20--AP)
The glory of Kgypt's ancient phai
oahs was reborn today when his
majesty Farouk the First, a stal
wart , f inn-chinned youl h of 1 K,
was invested as the fhsl king of
an independent Kgypt.
He vowed "by almighty Cod to
respect and obey the constitution
ami laws of the Kgyptian people,
safeguard my country's Independ
ence and defend its torriiurv."-
With royal dimity, the husky
lad took the oath before his as
sembled chamber and senate to
become King of Misr. hud of Nu
bia and the Sudan and sovereign
of Kordofan and Dargour.
His tr., nun, unit subjects wildly
celebrated his ascension, marked
here by fanfare and elaborate
ritual.
Furottk will be strictly a consli-i
mtlonal monarch.
There is no crown of K-,ypl and
the ceremony was an investiture J
raiher than a coronathm In the .
wean rn

that Farouk should be crowned
with the ;i,iMKr-year-old d'ad.m of
Tut-Ankh-Amen had been over
ruled because the actual crow n
ing of a king is not in accord v. lib
Islamic law.
Farouk is the first Invested
king of Kgypf. His father, Fuad.
the First, had changed the title
from the traditional one of sul
tan to king.
A young man. still lacking his
full mujority under Fgyptiau law.
Farouk has become ruler of a na
tion which only last year gained
its Independence under the Anglo
Kgyptiau treaty of aUiancc at the
end of 55 years of Urlllsh - military
occupation.
