- ‘Gh Said to Be Prisoner of Father; Whole Arab World Reported Shocked

CAIRO, Egypt, Dec. 20 (UP)—Kerim Tabet Pasha, press adviser to King Farouk, said today that all stories published about the possible remarriage of the king to a 16-year-old daughter of an Egyptian civil servant were “completely without foundation.” “Any talk about his majesty getting engaged is entirely premature,” the press adviser told the United Press. (There have been reports ever since the king's divorce more than a year ago that he would remarry soon.) “All stories which have been published on this subject are completely without foundation,” the press adviser said.
