Intriguing Continued Until End
Foouk Fully Aware OF Danger to Himself and Egyptian Notor
Foled to Take Any Action to Halt Croft and Corruption
yohnc. Henry:

The dramatic departure Of
Egypt's deposed King Farouk-
standing on the deck Of his
private yacht and waving fare
well to his country while the
royal anthem and q military
salute rang over Alexandria
harbor-was the climax to u
hours Of frustrated intriguing on
one side and decisively efficient
maneuvering on the other.
The staging for 1t all goes
back to the day Of the violent
rioting and firing Of foreign
property in Cairo, January 26.
The events of that day were Of
mixed motivation-a public re-
sentiment against the British
and the killing of Egyptian
auxiliary police in Suez, and a
masked Communist plan to ex-
ploit the Anglo o-Egyptian tension
to point Of virtual anarchy.
When the explosion came the
Cairo police took no action-an
inaction which was in fact en-
couraging to the rioters. Men
acing nobS surrounded the
Kings palace on that day and
there was only the thinnest Of
margins separating the country
from a full and complete revolu-
ton that would have turned the
waters Of the Nile red-and
probably given similar complex
ion to the political atmosphere.
One circumstance only halted
that tide. The King. fully aware
of the dangers that threatened
him and the country, ordered
the army into the city to restore
order. He was not absolutely
sure when he issued the order
that the army would obey
that troops would appear soon
enough from their suburban
barracks. or that they would fire
upon or otherwise use sufficient
ly forceful means to check the
mob. When they did, he knew
he was safe-for the time being.
Farouk knew then, too, that
Evening star., 1952-07-29

acceptance by Farouk. and par.
ticularly by some of the palace
favorites, might have saved the
King his throne. On the SUR
face, Farouk extended this ac-
ceptance but either with or
without his knowledge and ap-
proval new feelers reached the
British as to whether they might
take action Ito preserve order"
in the country.
Gen. Naguib had promised
protection Of foreign lives and
property but most Of all he
would have no part Of foreign
Intervention. The word went
out to round UP several Of the
Kings closest aides. reportedly
the ones plotting to checkmate
the military coup. Some were
arrested after they had been
airhorne in flights from the
country. others were picked up
at their homes and offices.
Naguib Bey went to Alexandria
and in company with Maher
Pasha presented the abdication
and exile ultimatum to Farouk.
In those final hours, the
young King was in touch with
the American ambassador--as
with several foreign representa-
tives-and one Of his final "sug.
geStions" was that he should be
taken from his country by an
American warship. The idea
was turned down. Of course, and
the farewells. more in sadness
than in anger, took place at the
gangway to the royal yacht be-
tween the deposed monarch and
those who were picking UP his
authority. :

Senator Brien McMahon's
dedication to the new world Of
atomic energy was so complete
his political rivals used to say:
"What chance have we got?
People think he makes the
atomic bomb personally"
To earn his reputation Sena-
tor Mcmahon worked hard and
long on a difficult subject. He
fought for civilian control Of
atomic energy because he fore
saw its vast peacetime uses and
he was determined that its de-
velopment for constructive ends
must march hand in hand with
its development as a weapon OF
war.
No one knew better the I'M
mense progress this country has
been making in atomic weapons.
But Senator Mcmahon never
got "atom happy"
A colleague might occasionally
suggest hurting an atomic bomb
at a country which displeases
us; he never did. On the con-
trary, he never stopped trying
to find a way to detach the
Russian people from their
leaders who insist this is a war
mongering nation.
His proposals often seemed
naive. They represented the
complete conviction of a man
exceptionally well informed that
the only happy people at the
end Of an atomic war will be
the dead. In an effort to make
the public realize this somber
fact, he was willing to risk the
reputation of being obsessed
with atomic energy; on every
possible occasion it was his topic.
Senator Mcmahon aspired to
the presidency. His qualifica-
tions were ample. He further
paid the American people the
compliment of believing that
they have come a long way
since 1928 and would not hold
against him the fact that he
was a Roman Catholic. Had his
health permitted, he would have
persevered in his efforts to get
at least second place on the
ticket.
His career justified his faith
in the American system.

one State might be needed to
put 1t over the majority line.
The Stevenson supporters didn't
want to be obligated to Tennes-
see. since that might mean pres
sure to name Senator Kefauver
for Vice President. Indeed, the
Senator had gone early TO the
rostrum to release his delegates
to Senator Douglas of Illinois,
who In turn was to release them
to Stevenson, but during the
course Of his remarks was going
to make a speech favoring the
nomination Of Senator Kefauver
TOR the vice presidency. f
It was pointed out to Ke-
fauver enthusiasts on the ros-
trum by Speaker Rayburn, the
chairman, that the roll call
couldn't be interrupted for any
such statement and that to
make a nominating speech for
Vice President at such a time
would be out of order.
But there was Senator Ke-
fauver sitting on the stage watt
ing his turn. Then the stalling
started and delegation after
delegation was polled until, by
Skillful work on the floor,
enough votes were assured for
Stevenson to win without Ten
nessee or to bring him so close
to the line that any State could
switch its vote and produce the
necessary majority.
While the polling was delay
ing matters, emissaries from the.
Stevenson group were busy To-
eating Senator Russell to bring
him to the platform. too. and by
that time the movement to
name Kefauver was squelched,
and as it happened, Senator
Kefauver released his delegates
to Stevenson anyway.
Since it takes only one dele
gate to bring about the polling
of a State, the device is very
useful to those who for reasons
of their own want to delay the
proceedings. That's something
the television audience could
not know because those who
steered it that way weren't
telling anybody at that time.

the real fostering evil that was
causing the weakness and dis
affection in his country was not
the British influence -distaste-
ful though 1t was-but rather
the economic and intellectual
corruption which existed In so
many high and low places Of
the Egyptian body polite. He
sought then to uproot it, or at
least take q step In that direc-
ton, by discharging the Wafd
government and calling In Ally
Maher Pasha, q moderate right
ist, to head q new coalition
cabinet.
Meanwhile certain Of the
army leadership was equally
aware Of what was harming
Egypt moSt-and Of the poten-
tial power which rested in
army hands to force q change.
Gen. Naguib Bey was one Of
this group. a clique Of younger
officers who had been dismayed
at the graft and corruption
which had shackled them in
the Palestine war. Fundament-
ally, they were neither anti
royalist nor anti-Farouk: they
are not believed to be anti
foreign or even anti-British ex-
cept in the sense Of being pro-
Egyptian.
Between January and July
they were biding their time,
hoping more for a correction Of
the political evils through
Farouk's own efforts and those
Of his successive cabinets rather
than plotting to take over q
dictatorial power. When the
correction did not happen and
events Of most recent days and
weeks indicated that neither
Farouk nor his ministers were
getting down to the real evils,
they staged their coup last week.
Even then, the determination
was not final to force the Kings
abdication. The dictated choice
Of Maher Pasha to return as
head Of the government was the

David Lowrence:
Trick Used Long Before Video
Deliberate Efforts Made Frequently to Sto Convente
BY Repeated Polling Of Democratic Delegates

Maybe the television audi
ence didn't realize 1t, because
such things were not visible,
but the polling Of delegations
which caused so much delay
at the Democratic convention
was in large part due to de-
hberate efforts to stall the pro-
ceedings.
Some comments have been
heard that the challenges made
to the announcement Of how a
particular delegation voted were
due to a desire on the part Of
individual delegates to have
their friends back home see
them or hear their names read.
That's too superficial an ex-
PLANTATION. Polling Of delega-
tions had become a very effec-
tive device for certain purposes
in national conventions long be-
fore television was invented.
The original and basic purpose
Of polling Is related to factional
warfare inside State delegations.
If. in a given State. the regular
organization is supporting a
certain presidential candidate,
the opposite faction will inevi-
tably line up behind another
candidate. The stakes are
high-control Of the organiza-
tion in that State. The winning
candidate usually recognizes the
faction that has been for him
and sometimes the regulars"
are ousted simply because they
are deprived Of influence, espe-
cially IL the candidate wins the
presidency.
One important step in the
struggle inside a State Is to put
the opposing delegates on the
spot. II the ballot Of a State
is announced in the form of a
total. the people back home do
not know who voted for an op-
posing candidate If, indeed.
any did. In some States where
there are, for example, "a votes
and the unit rule" is part Of
the States regulations, if II
vote for one candidate and 13
vote for the other, the majority
can cast the ballot of the entire

vital for the minority to get
themselves on record and show
the people back home just who
was voting for whom.
This sort Of tactic has always
been carried on and the COR
respondents from newspapers in
various local areas usually send
back to their newspapers the
names Of those who voted one
way or another. Nowadays radio
and television speed up the
process, and often the citizens
listening In or watching send
kilograms the same day to dele
gates they expected to support
their own choice or compliment
ing them on their stand.
But. at the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. the polling
occurred not merely for these
reasons but for others less OBJ
Servable. Thus, during the pro-
ceedings on Thursday when the
nominating speeches were drag
ging on and the Southerners
demanded a showdown on
whether Virginia. South Caro-
lima and Louisiana were en-
titled to vote, the supporters of
the Kefauver and Hartman
groups were anxious to prolong
those proceedings so there
would be no balloting on nomi-
nations that night. In fact, at
one time they offered q motion
to adjourn and this was inn
mediately subjected to a roll
call vote during which so many
delegations asked to be polled
that, the delays made it i'm
practicable to have the first
ballot Thursday night. This was
exactly what the anti-Stevenson
forces wanted, whereas the sup
porters of Stevenson were eager
to nominate late Thursday.
! Somewhat the same tactics
developed Friday night during
the roll call on which Steven
son was nominated, except that
in this instance the stalling was
done by some Of the Stevenson
supporters. It will be recalled
that on the third ballot the
nomination of Stevenson seemed
certain but that the votes Of
