On Politics for Furouk Officials

transition to eventual civilian
rule.
The order applied to Egypt's
three main political parties-the
Wafdists, Saadists and Liberal
Constitutionalists. It said non
partisan ministers would not be
affected unless the Revolution
Council rules otherwise"
Newspapers listed a total OF
AZ politicos affected but a gov
eminent spokesman later said
1870 persons would be stripped of
their political rights. He said
their identities would be an
nounced later.
A government spokesman said
the military council also was
drafting a breakdown on Egypt's
press syndicate of newspaper
owners and newsmen. most Of
them opposed to the military
regime, and on 40 newsmen who
had received secret government
subsidies from Farouk's govern
mentS.
Some reports said the govern
ment would dissolve the syndi-
cate and take its assets into Gus
tody. Other rumors said Cor
rupt pressmen' would be ex-
PEELED and the syndicate reor-
ganized.
The sweeping decision was
reached in a marathon council
session that started at noon yes
terday and ended in a joint
meeting with the subordinate
civilian cabinet early today.
It was seen as another major
victory for Vice Premier 1t. Col.
Canal Abdel Nasser in his
struggle for power within the
council against President-Pre-
mier Maj. Gen. Mohamed Ma
guib.
Gen. Naguib was forced to re-
verse his pledges Of such q pro-
gram on March 20 after pro-
Nasser street demonstrations
protested the return of the old
politicians and demanded the
Revolution Council continue to
rule the country.
Gen. Naguib collapsed during
that crisis and was reported still
confined to his bed-too i'll to
attend the all-night session
which reached today'S decision.
Col. Nasser presided.
