BY the Assoeiotsd Press

CAIRO. Egypt. Jan. 1.-THE
Egyptian government announced
today it has crushed a Com
munist-Wafdist plot to over
throw Premier Maj. Gen. Mo-
hamed Naguib. Twenty-Five
army officers and is civilians
were arrested as plotters.
Col. Abdel Nasser, acting chief
of staff, who said he was, speak

mary conspiracy to create sedi-

Col. NaSser said no coup was
attempted, but that the con-
spirators were laying the seeds
of rebellion and planned a chain
of disturbances on January 23-

celebration on the six-month an

Gen. Naguib appointed and

Nasser declared.
He made the announcement to

The British press viewed
the latest developments with
skepticism and headlined the

from Gen. Naguib's own mill

jury's recommendations con-
corning the drug disposal unit
already have been met.
MI. Irelan, asked to comment
on the report. said that every
one in law enforcement has been
pretty active in the past IA to Is
months"
Mr.. 1relan told Federal Judge
Bolitha j. Laws yesterday he had
appeared before the jury and ad-
vised it about legal aspects of
the report. He said he offered
the advice that he did not regard
it as libelous. But that was as
far as his participation went.
II did not inspire it, and I did
nothing to suppress it," he told
a reporter. 1T was the jurors
idea"
Such report, while unusual
in the District, is quite common
in some Jurisdictions, the United
States Attorney explained. He
said the differences occur be-
cause Federal courts usually fol-
low the pattern of State courts
in various localities.
Among the jurys II specific
recommendations were several
which drew mixed reaction from
Mr.. Irelan or Maj. Murray.
Both officials thought there
was merit to a proposal that
officials from their Offices meet
frequently with the Bureau OF
Narcotics. Mr.. Irelan, however,
said he doubted the sessions need
be formal bi-monthly ones, as
suggested, and said he felt liai-
son between the three branches
already is good"
Both also:
Favored a proposal that drug
stores be required to report any
large purchases "of quinine hy-
drochloride. milk-sugar or cap
SuleS' to police.
Favored a proposal that SAL
aries of Federal narcotics agents
and city police be raised.
Mr.. Irelan also welcomed a
suggestion that he be permitted
to hire investigators for his of
fees division of investigation.
At present, police officers on loan
do the work. Mr.. Ireland dis
closed he already has made such
a proposal to the Justice De-
partment, and said it also has
been suggested by Maj. Murray
and by the District Senate Crime
Committee.
The United States Attorney
said, however, that he wanted
to study very carefully" before
commenting on it, proposed leg
islation to permit police to
search any person believed to
have drugs in his possession.
Before commenting, he said,
he wanted to give the same
study to a proposal that special
facilities be added to Washing
ton hospitals and the District
Jail to treat 'incarcerated ad-
diets during their withdrawal
period"
Theft From Bureau.
sMr. Breidenbach, meanwhile.
said he had no detailed knowl-
edge about charges that the
Narcotics Bureau failed to prop
erly investigate reported cocaine
theftS from the bun eau's dis
posal room between 1949-51.
But he gave this explanation
regarding charges that a better
accounting system could have
uncovered the theftS:

THEFT OF DRUGS FROM THE
FEDERAL NARCOTIC DRUG
DISPOSAL ROOM

During the month of April.
1852, the Grand Jury learned
that a valuable quantity of mar
cotic drugs had been stolen from
the Federal Narcotic Drug Dis
posal Room by an employe of
the Treasury Department over
a period exceeding two years.
This information was presented
to the Federal Bureau of Mar
cotics by Narcotic Agent Marvin
R. Fullmer, who was assigned to
the District Attorneys Office.
An investigation of these thefts
was initiated by the Federal Bu-
reau of Narcotics.
This investigation produced
little or no evidence upon which
the grand jury might vote an
indictment. Hence the grand
jury, in cooperation with the
District Attorney, commenced
its own investigation of the theft
OF these narcotic drugs, and was
successful in procuring sufi-
c1ent evidence upon which to
vote indictments. Four indict-
ments were returned by this

Daylight Time
Bill Reported
Out in Senate
Committee Votes so
For Measure by Case;
Action Due Thursday

The Senate District Committee
today started the ball rolling to
permit the Commissioners to put
the District daylight saving time
into effect April 26.
BY unanimous vote Of five
members present. it sent to the
Senate q bill by Chairman Case.
Action will be sought at the
Thursday session Of the Senate.
The measure would give the
Commissioners such authority
each summer, but there is a new
twist to the legislation this year:
Washington could have daylight
time provided New York. Phila-
delphia and Baltimore-or two
OF the three-adopt it.
This clause provoked a protest
from Senator Beall, Republican,
of Maryland. He said he was for
daylight time. but couldn't see
why the Commissioners author
ity should be controlled by New
York or some other city"
Senator Case argued that his
bill had the advantage of setting
up standards for the Commis-
sioners to follow. BY doing it
this way, he said, Congress
would be avoiding the question
of a delegation of Congressional
power to the Commissioners,
such as was raised in the
Thompson Restaurant segrega-
tion case.
Senator Payne, Republican,
of Maine, said the bill was per.
nissive and not mandatory.
Senator Beall said he would
vote for the bill but that he
wanted to be recorded as object
ing to the clause tying the COM
missioners' authority to what
was done in the other cities. II
