(UP) After nearly 40 rears of legendary wanderings among the Arab tribes of northern Africa. Abdul Fady has put away his fes and settled down in the quiet English countryside as Just plain Mr. Arthur Upson. It was 38 years ago that Upson. Im bued with the challenge of spreading Christianity among the nomadic tribes of the desert, left Essex for Africa. Stone deaf and feeling strange in the surroundings of his birthplace, Upson's self-imposed exile made him one of the world's best Arabic schol ars. For years he neither heard nor spoke the English language. Because of his deafness and long asoclatlon with the Arabs he speaks English with a marked accent as he tells of the colorful wanderings of Abdul Fady missionary, founder of the Nile Mission Press, friend of the close-lipped Arabs. He carries a pad and pencil with him and explains that his deafness has been a blessing. "I have been told," he said, "that some of tne vituperations pourcu upon me during my career as a mis sionary would have been enough to put any man to flight. But I couian i hear a word so I stayed where I was." He was asked whether he had any physical dangers in Arabia. Never," he replied scornfully. "As cats know when people like them and babies recognize their friends so the Arab always Instinctively knew I was his friend. "You know, an Arab never attacks an unarmed man and I never carried a gun." But Abdul Fady or Arthur Upson had adventures aplenty. He crossed the Gobi desert years ago, one of the first Europeans to ac complish the torturous feat, and la a little contemptuous of persons who claim notoriety by doing it In these days. His story of the creation of the Nile Mission Press was a strange one. "Sn my missionary work I distri buted pamphlets In Arabic and one night an Arab came to me and point ed out three grammatical errors in the text of my sermon," he related "That night I sat down and dlscov- 12; Mi T.

PHILADELPHIA UPt Economic depressions were common a century before the machine age. according to a survey of prices In colonial j Pennsylvania conducted by the in-; dudtrial research department of the University of Pennsylvania. The city of Philadelphia exper ienced 10 distinct business depres sions during the period from 172u to 1775, the study reveals. The survey is the first of a aeries through which the department seeks to throw additional light on colonial economic history through the use of statistical methods employed In Mudtes of modern business. Dr. Anne Bezanson. co-director of the department, said there were many industries established in Phil adelphia long before the American revolution which supplied not only the needs of the residents of Penn sylvania, but often produced a sur plus for export to other colonies. "As early as 1720, the trsde of Philadelphia Involved the export ol flour, wheat, bread, corn, pork, beer and staves," Dr. Bezanson said. "Imports of the city included , molasses, muscovado or raw sugar, and rum from the West Indies, to bacco from Maryland and Virginia, rice and naval stores from the Caro linas, wine from Madiera, coarse salt from Portugal, and fine salt from England." Early records used In the survey revealed that all these commodities were subject to price fluctuations much the same as those which oc cur today, but there is no evidence that the colonial merchants sought to Interpret these changes In terms of business cycles. "To them, every change In busi ness conditions Including the 10 separate and distinct periods of de pression noted between 1720 and 1775 was directly attributable to some specific factor such as war. weather conditions, the slae ol crops, immigration and 'scarce money'." Dr. Bpnzanson said.
