British Relax Restrictions
Around Suez Canal Town
CAIRO, Egypt, (ff)—The British
announced Thursday they are re
laxing restrictions on road and rail
traffic around the Suez Canal
town of Ismaili.
The British move is expected
to ease somewhat tension over
establishment of British-manned
roadblocks and check points on
Monday.
The British charged an Egyp
tian officer was implicated in the
disappearance of a British airman.
The Egyptian authorities denied
any knowledge of the incident and
demanded the traffic controls be
lifted.
Despite strong Egyptian resent
ment, no serious incidents were
reported in the area.

Murdered in N. Y. Apt.

bloodied body of a lovely blonde
singer was found in her West Side
apartment Thursday by police
who went there after reading a
man’s suicide note.
The young woman', Florence

of the Broadway hit “Wonderful
Town,” had been beaten about the
head and stabbed and there were
marks on her throat, police said.

“I killed Florence Forsberg.”
And it gave her address—34 West
69th St., just off Central Park.
