Inherited Huge Fortune.
Under Egypt's civil law, Farouk
has been paid 100000 pounds
(about $295.000 a year, with an
other 100000 pounds in allowances
for the royal family. He inherited
from his father, King Fuad 1, a
private fortune of so million dol
lars that gave him a greater in

in visits to European casinos.
The Army said large military
forces were sent from Cairo to
Alexandria last night to add
punch to Gen. Naguib's ultima
tum to the King. The troops ar
rived at dawn and Immediately
took positions around the two
palaces on the Mediterranean
shore-Ras Ell Tin and Montaza.
Air Force planes began circling
low over the beautiful buildings.
Gen. Naguib handed the abdi-
cation act to Maher Pasha at
g am. q am, EST and re-
quested him to deliver it to the
King. Farouk was given until noon
to sign the document and accept
the demands of the government
and the people"
And then Farouk, who ascended
the throne on April %, 1886, after
the death of his father, was told
that he must leave the country
by 6 pm.

In London British Foreign
Ministry officials went into hur-

is of prime Importance to Britain,
which has been in bitter strug-

British troops guard the Suez
Canal Zone despite Egypt's can
collation. of a treaty authorizing
their presence.
Another issue is the Anglo
Egyptian Sudan. still ruled jointly
by Britain and Egypt despite
Farouk's claim to sovereignty over

A British Foreign Office spokes-
man said in London that Britain
will take action in Egypt if Gen.
Naguib's military coup endangers
British lives. Informed sources
said the British attitude was made
clear in Alexandria Friday when
British Minister Michael CreSwell
called on Premier Maher Pasha.
At Alexandria planes flew over

from the harbor. Among those
who came to wish the King god

that in such a test modern
weapons and the plants in
which to produce them have
a more practical value than a
sound schooling in Stalinist
theology.
Actually, with the possible
exception of the Poles, the
fighting qualities of the central
European Soviet satellite peoples
have never reached any proven
high level and it is extremely
unlikely they would have any
offensive value in q modern war.
They could, however, provide a
defensive barrier to the Soviet
homeland or a covering force
for protection of long supply
lines such as Soviet armies
would need if they should at
tempt a sweep to the west.
AS far as industrialization is
concerned most of these coun-
tries have an established
technology in the heavy in
dustries particularly that could
be readily applied to armament
needs. Under a political system
where standards of living are
low anyway little consideration
need be. given to the effects of
relatively high armament pro-
duction upon the national
economy. Initiation is merely a
word in totalitarian state.
The controversy in the trade
union ranks over Britain's
armament program stems from
a broad and deep difference of
opinion between the Bevanites
and the Attlee followers within
the Labor Party. In it's simplest
form, the position of the Bevan-
ties is that they do not accept
the menace of Communist ag-
gression, at least with the same

Menace to Defense Of West
Kremn Puts Emphasis on Guns in Its Satellite States
While British Trade Unions Line Up With Left-Wino BIo
John c. Henry:

Some interesting but contrast
ing news stories from Europe
have appeared in the news
papers this week.
One was story to the effect
that the Kremlin has now
placed industrialization and
armament production in the
satellite states on higher
priority than indoctrination of
these captive populations with
the Communist ideology. The
emphasis, in other words, is to
be on guns rather than bonn
baSt.
Another story was that a
growing bloc of British trade
unions is lining up with the
left-wing Labor faction of
Aneurin Bevan in favor of re-
ducing British armament pro-
duction. Presumably. the en-
phasis here is to be on butter
or perhaps the free supply of
false teeth.
A third story is the Conserva-
tive government announcement
in Commons that it is review
ing" the defense program and
Will propose a new pattern"
The emphasis here will be to
shore up the battered British
economy necessity beyond
dispute.
1t serves little purpose to
belabor the contrast.
If Soviet planning has indeed
shifted its preoccupation from
the capture of the minds of it's
satellite populations to an in
tensified development of their
industrial and military poten-
tial it would appear clearly to
mean that the Kremlin expects
an EaSt-West test of force to
come. It is aware, of course,
Evening star., 1952-07-30

seriousness as is felt in the
United States and in other
quarters in Britain, and that
they do not concur in reduc-
ing the British social program
while diverting greater national
energies to rearmament. Mr..
Attlee and his faction take a
position more nearly in line
with that of the Conservative
Party and with the majority
thinking in this country.
The annual Conference of the
British Trade Unions next
month will provide the forum
where a real showdown can be
forced on the issue. Four large
unions, including the Amalga-
mated Engineers-largest single
union employed directly in the
defense program-earlier in the
summer went on record in sup
port of the Bevan line. A few
days ago five more smaller
unions took the same position
including adoption of a resolu-
tion favoring the Moscow prop
aganda proposal for a Big
Five peace pact meeting.
A rundown on the position
taken thus far by the trades
unions who will participate in
next months conference shows
about an even split at the
moment. If the Bevanites should
prevail, however, the Labor
Party might then back the Con-
servative government into some
damaging compromise as q
price for avoiding critical vote
Of power in Commons.
1t is a political menace to
the Western defense effort that
might be most damaging in the
months to come.

Party Disoffection Exaggerated,
lifelong Democrats and Republicans Rarely Bolt Ticket
While Independents Shift on Candidates and Issues

Just why any Republican who
supported Senator Taft would
contribute a full vote or half a
vote to elect a President Of the
United States whose candidacy
has the full support of Presi-
dent Truman and the CIO and
the Fair Dealers Is a little hard
to understand in view Of the
position the Taft Republicans
have repeatedly taken-namely.
that they are unalterably op-
posed to a continuance Of the
Democratic administration for
another four years.
Maybe these Taft Republicans
probably a small minority
really believe all the bunkum
that was distributed during the
preconvention campaign to the
effect that, because Gen. Eisen-
hover served in the Army and
had a high military post. he
made all the important decisions
in the civilian branch of the
Government or was responsible
for them and that this makes
him a Fair Dealer or a New
Dealer. Apparently Gen. Mac
Arthur. who also served in
high command, isn't considered
to have become obligated to the
President who signed his COM
mission.
Perhaps the real explanation
is that, in their zeal to get Taft
nominated, some of his support
ers actually swallowed a variety
of reports about Gen. Eisen-
hower-as, for instance, the idea
that he was Truman'S choice
or that he couldn't attack the
Truman administration or that
he was q New Dealer and Fair
Dealer.
It is well established. that

administration last year tried
to interest Gen. Eisenhower in
the Democratic presidential
nomination. They tried it in
1948, too. But in every instance
he refused to embrace the idea.
Whether Gen. Eisenhower will
or will not attack the Truman
policies, domestic and foreign,
remains to be seen. During the
campaign that point viii GER
tainly be cleared UP by his
speeches. II it is, then the dis
satisfied Republicans will have
to make up their minds whether
they want to furnish a full vote
or half a vote to elect a Presi-
dent who will have the power
to appoint Supreme Court JUS
tices in the next vacancies, the
power to appoint all the mem
bers of the 80 Government agen-
cies which have been filled by
New Dealers and Fair Dealers,
and the power to man all the
executive departments of the
Government with Truman ap-
pointees or successors whose
main allegiance is to the Fair
Deal and the New Deal.
Likewise. the disappointed
Kefauver supporters are going
to have to choose between help
ing a Republican get elected or
giving their votes to Gov. Ste
venson as at least being more
interested in the Fair Deal and
New Deal than any Republican
regime will be.
When November comes, the
disaffeceed vote in both parties
will probably turn out to be
much smaller than it appears to
be today. Pique is q luxury in
politics. especially among the
hungry who have been out Of

men everywhere. He got through

the friendship of our people for

least one notable lifting of the

we would give sober thought to

Brien Mcmahon was in politics
and that it is through politics
that we must find our solu-
tions-men of good will sitting
down together at the state, ma
tional and international level.
The process we saw at Chicago,
men and women working to-
gether to organize themselves
for governing themselves, is so
much more important than "fiy-
ing objects" that stir up wild
fears-even though there was
lacking the boldness of vision
Of Brien Mcmahon.
For the mind of man as ap-
piled to the political process, or
ganizing to live with one anoth-
er in peace. still is far behind
the mind Of man in reaching
out to the infinite in science and
creating thereby dangers with
which the political man is not

while living, to try to find some
answers. The secrets were made
known to him as chairman Of
the Joint Congressional Com
mittee on Atomic Energy.
To Brien Mcmahon we are
indebted for his attempt to
bring common sense to the
atomic age, and common sense
in this case meant uncommon
sense and vision. He dared to
think boldly. He led the fight
which imposed civilian instead
of military control, which is
basic. While doing everything
necessary to develop and pro-
duce atomic weapons, which he
felt essential to our own securi-
ty. he also sought to use this
miracle and the awesome fear it
has created among men to bring
all of us everywhere to our
senses so that finally we should
disarm.
His speeches appealing for
reason are landmarks Of this
era-to shine forth in textbooks
OF the coming generation, or as
scorched fragments under the

our choice. He proposed a grand

DiSatfection In both political

The report that some of the
Kefauver supporters will not
vote for Gov. Stevenson, the
Democratic nominee, are SIM
liar to the reports that many
supporters of Senator Taft,
who thought he should have
been nominated. will not vote
for Gen. Eisenhower.
There are some Taft men
who say they will stay away
from the polls altogether. This
may happen in a few cases but
it doesn't sound plausible. A
citizen who doesn't want to vote
for the candidates for Congress
and State candidates just be-
cause he doesn't like the ma

dividual. There may be some
who want to disenfranchiSe
