OF death Of the woman, whose body
was found in a vacan. lot across
town from the apartment house
which Sack owned and where the
couple lived.

Just before midnight that the cause
was "asphyxiation in i manner as
yer unknown. :" Police at once took
out warrant charging Sack with
first-degree murder.
He had been free on $4,000

Asked about reports that Stevens

There is no resignation hereof

Asked then whether Stevens had
asked advice of anyone on whether
he should resign, Hagerty said
there has been no mention of
resignation" so far as he knew.
Hagerty repeated three or four
times what he said yesterday-that
the President had no advance

operation with the West until the
British withdraw from the Suez
Canal zone.
The big question was the internal
reaction.
There is bound TO be concern
over whether the young military
clique will adopt more radical
measures in the future. Naguib
a prayerful moderate of military
career family, has been regarded
as the councils balance wheel.
Nasser is rated the most fiery
exponent Of Egypt's current bid
for British withdrawal from the
Suez Canal zone. Since he was a
youth of II, he has been an under.
ground leader of forces fighting
corruption in government.
Like Naguib, he is a wounded
veteran of Egyptian campaign ir
the Palestine war of 1858 and ha:
shared in the public appearance:
lat which Naguib was acclaimed
as popular idol.
President since the monarchy
was formally ended with the proc

IL, Naguib has been the main link
between the young officers clique
and the masses. His warm human
kindness made him the first Egyp

the hearts of a people so Ions
ruled by wealthy autocrats and
corrupt politicians.
