Mohammed Naguib Bey (right), commander-in-chief of Egyptian armed forces, the "strongman" whose coup forced King Farouk to abdicate and flee the country, meets with Premier Aly Maher Pasha (left) in Cairo to discuss' future of Egypt. A Nichols' Worth of Comment On This and That BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Feature Writer Washington (U.R) Charles Corddry, aviation editor of the United Press, is about to start if ""lf believing in ghosts. Charlie told me this true story: In Sep tember 1945, he was return ing from a trip to Brazil. Over Wash ington both engines conked out Harmon Nichols and the plane started to come down, but the flight engineer was on his toes. He noted that the pilot had for gotten to switch from empty to full fuel tanks. This was fixed in a jiffy, but not before the soldier on Charlie's left across the aisle had buckled on his chute and made ready to jump. The two rode into "Washing ton together and the GI intro duced himself as Sgt. Dave Strickland, of Tampa, Fla., a combination paratrooper and cameraman. Sergeant Phoned In the summer of 1947 Charlie got a phone call. It was the ser geant. He had just returned from Europe where he had tak en pictures of the Nuernberg trials. Between times, he had managed a camera department for a drugstore but concluded that he "just wasn't cut out to be a civilian." They had a chat and it turned out that the soldier had been in the Pacific in World War II for 10 months as a para trooper and cameraman with the 503d legiment. Charlie had almost forgotten about his friend until one day in February, 1950. The flying editor stepped off a plane at Whitehorse, Yukon territory. "Hold it, Corddry," yeuea a cameraman. It was Dave Strickland, of course. The two mushed for three weeks in the Yukon and Alaskan snows, watching Canadian - American maneuvers. They parted and our man came home. Shows up in Seoul A month after the liberation of Seoul in October, 1950, Charlie was among those pres ent in the press billet when two cameramen came busting in, groaning under a wonderful load of hard to get cigarettes, gum, candy and beer. One of them had to be Strickland, just back from shooting pictures of the retreating North Koreans. Corddry left Korea the next month at a time when his friend had left for the north to have at the enemy again. The other day, right here, in walked the sergeant to see his pa!. On his chest were two pur'a hearts, the distinguished scr ; cross, and the silver sta . He was missing one eye and limped slightly from a brok en leg received some time back in a parachute jump. Something funny happened, he confided modestly to Charlie, when Gen. Matthew B.

Youngster Survives Three-Story Tumble Portland (U.R) A two-and-one-half-year-old boy .was shak en but unhurt Monday after he fell three stories from a window of his parent's apartment to the hard pavement below. In an exploring mood around dinnertime Saturday, Jackie Bert Hanson clambered from his bed over boards nailed ladder fashion over an open" window at the apartment of his parents, Mr, and Mrs. Jack Hanson. He fell out. Jackie's mother believes he must have hit the window and rolled down the stairs. "He was unconscious when I got down there, but I shook him and he came out of it," Mrs. Han son explained. Mr. Hanson took his son to Holloday Park hospital, where doctors pronounced hirr unin jured, except for two bruises by his lft eyebrow. Bottle of Beer Given Nevada State Museum Carson City, Nev.

The gener al thought maybe he had seen the sergeant some place before, Fort Benning, maybe. "Yes sir," Strickland said. It dawned on the general that for sure he had seen the boy before, and that it was at Fort Benning. The man with stars on his shoulders forgot about the spread in rank "and threw his arms about the soldier. "You gave me a bad time," the general said. It had occured to the officer that when he was in jump school at Benning before the Normandy landings, Strickland was his instructor. The soldier has settled down for a moment now and has re turned to Fort Benning. Charlie is at his typewriter here, but the two are sure to get togeth er in some remote area before long.
