Women Storm at Order
To Cover All of Figures
By SAM SOUKI
Cairo U. Sex is hiding its pretty head in Egypt. In fact, sex
is being covered from head to toe and not liking it.
Egyptian women are storming at the recent decrees Issued by
Minister of Education Ahmed Mursy Badr Bey.
The minister has launched an all-out campaign to wipe lip

The trouble came about when
the minister dismissed a woman
school teacher because she had
been accused of dancing with
some university students at a
party.
Then, in quick succession, the
minister ordered that classical
dancing lessons in government
schools must cease and that no
girls should be sent to Europe
on government educational mis
sions. The exception was Lon
don, where the government
maintains a house and chaper
one for the girls.
Most of the press and women's
associations in Egypt raised a
howl of protest.
They charged the minister
with responsibility for drag
ging the country back, rather
than improving its educational
programs. They accused him of
wanting to kill woman s pro
gress.
The papers asked him why
the traditional belly dancing of
the Orient should be consider
ed more decent than the ballet
and classical dancing which
girls were taught in schools.
Cartoons ridiculing the minister
appeared in most papers.
A few voices were raised in
praise of the minister's acts
Some people stated that he was
protecting the virtue of Egyp
tian womanhood. But for the
most part women declared their
virtue their own business and
said that they were capable of
protecting themselves without
help or hindrance from the minister.
To show that he was not
against women's education, but
merely against any form of in
decency as he termed some of
the modern forms of education,
dancing and sports the minis
ter began visiting girls' schools.
At the same time, however, he
forbade girls to participate in
the university games at Murano,
Italy, and issued an order that
women teachers and school girls
must refrain from using cos
metics and short-sleeved dresses
as of October.
Badr Bey stated that his meas
ure was being taken to "main
tain the dignity of educational
institutions."
He insisted that teachers and
students must wear long-sleeved
ankle-length dresses and that
they must not paint their faces.
He also insisted that he is not
at war with the fair sex.
Furious articles have appear
ed in the press and almost daily
there are irate letters to - the
editors.
One such letter said: "Some
day the Egyptian government
will have to make up its mind
whether it intends the country
to Join in the main stream of
western civilization or to re
main a social and intellectual
back-water, content to adopt
a lower standard of living. . . '

Jean Mendey, 17. They were
picked up here 10 days ago as
traveling companions of two
men arrested for car theft. They
said they lived in Kellogg. Ida.
The victim, Mrs. Zerish M.
Houghtaling, about 70, was re
ported to be suffering from a
broken nose, black eyes and
severe bruises on her head and
chest.
The Juvenile office gave this
version of the attack:
About 7:30 o'clock last night
the matron caught two girls
smoking in their room at the
detention home. She ordered
them to throw their cigarets
away, saying smoking was prohibited.
An hour later Mrs. Houghtal
ing was resting on a bed in her
room when the two girls came to
her door and asked permission
to take a bath. The matron re
fused, telling them they were
supposed to be in bed.
At that, the girls entered the
room, jerked the matron to the
floor and started pummeling
her with their fists, feet, and a
shoe belonging to one of the
girls. One of them tried to
cram a washrag down Mrs.
Houghtaling's throat. The clin
ic cook, Minnie Morrow, heard
the aged woman's screams and
called police. Police caught
both girls as they left the room.
The bedroom, Mrs. Houghtal
ing i clothing and the girls'
night clothes were bloodspat-
tered.
Police quoted one girl as tel-
ing Mrs. Houghtaling: "I didn't
have time or I would have killed
you."
The girls were picked up here
Sept. 18 after registering at a
hotel with Ray Morris, 21, and
Gene Arthur Miller, 22. The
men were arrested on a car theft
charge. .A charge of contribut
ing to the delinquency of i
minor also was placed. Miller
pleaded guilty and is awaiting
sentence. Morris will stand
trail. The girls were held
witnesses in this trial.
Dr. McLoughlin
Wealthy Man
Portland, Sept. 29 (IP) Dr.
John McLoughlin, the founder
of Oregon City and the virtual
ruler of the Oregon country
from 1824 to 1843, died a weal
thy man, the Oregon Historical
Quarterly reported today.
That, it seems, settles a point
which has been in dispute
among historians for nearly a
century. Some biographers had
reported McLoughlin died a
poor man. Others thought differently.
An article in the Oregon His
torical Quarterly disclosed that
the actual papers of McLough-
lin's estate had been found.
They showed that his estate was
appraised at over $170,000, a
fortune in the 1800s. He was
Hudson's Bay company factor at
Vancouver, Wash., and later set
tled at Oregon City and applied
for U. S. citieznship.
Dr. Burt Brown Barker, a di
rector of the historical society,
found McLoughlin's will, inven
tory, and appraisal of the estate
tucked away in the Clackamas
county court house records at
Oregon City.
