By FRED J. ZUHY
CAIRO. Egypt fst The Cham

period of two months.
Under martial law. tha premier
has a weapon to strike against
fomenters of new rioting such as

of wild anti-Western rioting an

the support ol tour political parties,
including the powerful Wafd,
The new government, headed by
Premier Aly Maher Pasha, an in
dependent, was sworn Into office
in a shift viewed by some Western .
observers as a step which might
ease the bloody dispute between
Britain and Egypt.
Farouk Sunday night turned Mtis-
itapha el Nabas Pasha's Watdlst
farty regime out of office alter
the Nahas government's National
ist campaign to drive the British
out of the Sue. Canal Zone aivl
the Sudan culminated In a wild
eruption of bloodshed and burning
Saturday. The Nahas government
; termed the outbreak an attempted
! revolution.
The monarch said he made the
shift to restore law and order to
the riot-torn Nile kingdom's Cap
ital. The new premier In a radio ad
dress to the nation pledged him
self to fulfill the "Independent unity
of the Nile Valley" to get the
British out and to maintain "sta
bility, security and peace."
Maher Pasha, 69, before World
War Two expressed pro-Brhlsh
sympathies, but during the war
was interned at British insistence
because he had talks with Britain's' '
Italian enemies. In recent months,
oowever, his public statements
have Indicated he advocates a pro
Western policy.
A high ranking police official said
approximately 80 persons died In
Saturday's wild rioting here. His
ngures ao not include bodies of 13
! Persons found Monday In Barcley's
D, one oi uie ournea buildings.
The damase to Dronertv ran intn
the millions of pounds. The loss is
not covered by insurance, since
riot-wise insurance firms refuse to
issue coverage against riot dam
age in Cairo.
The mobs were infuriated by the
deaths of more than 40 Egyptian
auxiliary police In a clash with
British troops at Ismallia in the
