Died. Hadj Thami el Mezouari el Glaoui, eightyish, wily Pasha of Marrakech; of cancer; in Marrakech, Morocco. Berber Chieftain El Glaoui was named Pasha in 1908 for helping depose his first Sultan, rode to immense wealth (estimated at $50 million) from tithes on almond, saffron and olive harvests, profits from stocks in French-run mines, rebates on imported cars and machinery, reputed revenue from 6,000 prostitutes. His power rested on 30,000 tribesmen whom he used to enforce French colonial policies. In 1953 El Glaoui, an astute sniffer of political winds, aided the French in selling out the legitimate Sultan ben Youssef. Last fall he reversed himself when nationalist sentiment rallied around Ben Youssef, helped recall him to the throne, crawled on his hands and knees to beg forgiveness: "I am a slave at His Majesty's feet ... May heaven's curse fall upon those who deceived me."
