Steady Egyptian Cain
Seen in Arab UNITY

the Syrian Communist Party,
which was outlawed as it had
been in Egypt. But it also
brought a decline in the power
of Syrias politicians. There
now is only one Syrian vice
president among the UAR'S
seven. Separate executive
councils for the two regions
were abolished last month, and
administration was consoli-
dated in Cairo, the capital Of
Egypt and the UAR.
Economically, Syria and
Egypt complement each other.
Most of Egypt's more than 25
million people are crowded into
the fertile Nile Valley. Syria
has about 5 million and land
to spare.
Most of the people in both
areas are farmers. The Egyp-
tianS raise some of the worlds
finest cotton. Syria grows cot
ton, olives, fruits, tobacco,
wheat and barley. Rainfall is
plentiful in Syria. In Egypt,
Mr.. Nasser has started the
ASwan High Dam to conserve
water and open up new farm
lands for the Nile valleys ex-
ploding population.
Borders Largely Artificial
Most of Syria's people, like
Egypt's, are Moslems. But the
Syrians are a mixture of Turks,
Arabs. Kurds, Armenians and
others. Damascus, Syria S
capital. is an ancient city
where traders have flourished
for centuries.
Syria's borders are largely
artificial, drawn up to create
a state about the size of Mis-
souri, after World War 1.
Syria has known violence,
conquerors and foreign armies
since Biblical times.
Before World War I it was
under Turkish domination. But
the French. claiming interest in
Syria dating back to the
Crusades. obtained a League
of Nations mandate over the
country in 1921.
Syrians struggled for their
own independence, and in 1890
France recognized the country
as an Independent republic
but still subject to mandate.
In World War II Syria was
occupied by the British and
Free French. The latter agreed
to terminate the mandate.
Syria emerged in the post
war years as a truly indepen-
dent repubiic-but still with
plenty of unrest and unsolved
political problems. 1t had the
largest left wing in the Arab
world.

Now that Congress has passed
the Districts election law.
Democratic and Republican
leaders are intensifying efforts
to prepare for Washington's
first presidential election in
1864.
Although the election is three
years away, both parties have
started building precinct or
ganizations and assessing their
chances for victory.
Carl L. Shipley, chairman of
the District Republican State
Committee, said he is confident
that despite the fact the Demo-
Gratis had a registration edge
for the primary election here in
May. 1860, a Republican presi-
dental candidate can carry the
District.
w. John Kenney, chairman
of the District Democratic
Central Committee. said, "It's
very difficult to prognosticate
what will happen here in 1864
since the District has never had
the vote before.
However, I am certainly
hopeful that the District would
be in the Democratic column.
President Kennedy is popular
here. much more popular now
than when he was elected. I
would assume he will run for
a second term and certainly
hope he will"
1850 Registered
Total registration for the pri-
mary was 1860. Of this total,
45,042 registered as Democrats,
30,326 as Republicans and 292
as Independents.

Truce, Charging

BY WEBB MCKINLEY
Associated Press Staff Writer

BEIRUT. Lebanon, Sept. 90.
Army officers in Syria re-
belled today in an apparent
attempt to break out of Presi-
dent Canal Abdel Nasser's
United Arab Republic.
Late this afternoon they
called off a negotiated truce
and declared they were con-
tinuing their fight against
tyranny.
Damascus Radio, which an
nounced the before-dawn mu-
tiny, said Field Marshal Abdel
Hakim Amer, Egyptian COM
mander in chief of UAR forces
and chief overseer of the
Syrian region, had broken his
promise" to meet the rebel de-
mandS.
The broadcast said a previous
communique, which indicated a
negotiated settlement was being
worked out, therefore was can
celed.
Curfew in Capital
The radio said Marshal Amer
was allowed to leave Syria and
return by plane to Cairo.
A curfew was ordered in the
Syraian capital.
Mr.. Nasser in Cairo called the
revolt more serious than the
British-French- Israeli Suez in
vasion of 1856 and ordered the
$4,000 well-armed Egyptians in
the army in Syria to crush the
uprising.
Radio reports heard in Beirut
indicated Syria was divided
with the northern half remain
ing loyal to Mr.. Nasser.
Telephone service to Damas-
Gus was cut and reporters at
tempting to cross the border
at several points were turned
back.
But one telephone call from
Damascus, and few travellers
reaching the border before the
clampdown reported fighting in
Damascus. They supplied no de-
tails.
Heroic Stand" Reported
Broadcasts from Aleppo, in
Northern Syria, reported a
heroic stand to preserve the
unity and to strengthen the
foundations of the United Arab
Republic.

gap like that doesn't disturb us

the Democrats had an edge.

The G. o. P. chairman also
noted that the higher Demo-
cratic registration here was
stimulated by the heated pri-
mary battle among Democrats.
He added that the Republicans
had no real primary contest
and that consequently G. o. P,
registration Jagged.
Mr.. Kenney said his party
has at least two clear advan-
tageS in any political contest
with the Republicans here.
THE Democratic Party" he
said, has always been more
aware of urban problems than
the Republicans. And the Dem
ocratic Party has been far more
active in supporting civil rights
legislation"
Special Effort
Mr.. Shipley conceded that
analysis of the national 1860
voting statistics shows the bulk
of Republican support came
from white Protestant groups.
"On the whole" he said, I'VE
didn't receive the support from
minority groups that our rec
ord justifies. Therefore, we are

in a campaign to clean up the
mess" in Sacramento, as he
called it, was welcomed by State
and national party leaders, who
regard him as the strongest
man to head their ticket in the
State that will send 38 Con-
gressmen to Washington next
year.
1t was also cheered by Demo-
cratic Gov. Edmund G. (Pat)
Brown, the man Mr.. Nixon will
face next November if he wins
the four-man G. o. P. primary.
Il welcome this opportunity
to confront Richard Nixon in
a campaign that once and for
all will retire him to private
life" said the Governor, who
had been characterized by Mr..
Nixon as an "amiable but
bungling man."
Hope for Party Row
Privately, some California
Democratic leaders had been
hoping Mr.. Nixon would decide
to run and precipitate a pri-
mary fight with ex-Gov. Good
win j. Knight, who announced
two weeks ago.
These Democrats calculate
and a few of Mr.. Nixon'S old
friends agree-that the Knight
Nixon primary may be so
ruinous that the winner, ex-
pected to be Mr.. Nixon, will
come heavily SCARED into the
general election.
Evidence that this may not
be SO far fetched was seen in
Mr.. Knights statement last
night inviting Democrats in
California to register Republic
can 80 you can vote against
Nixon in the June primary"
The Nixon announcement
also clarified the Republican
presidential picture for 1864 by
making it clear that the 1860
nominee would not run in
presidential primaries or other
wise actively seek the nomina-
ton next time.
Draft Is Possibility
The nhrasing of Mr.. Nixon's
statement, however, did not ap-
pear to rule out the possibility
that he might be available for
a draft or even participate in
such maneuvering on his own
behalf as Adlai Stevenson did
at the 1860 Democratic con-
vention.
What Mr.. Nixon said was, Il
shall not be a candidate for
President in 1854" Asked if he
would bar the possibility of a
draft or issue a Sherman-like
refusal to accept the presiden-
tial nomination under any and
all circumstances, he replied:

D. {. POOLING
DetectiVeUnits
In Crime Drive
Foster, More Fluid
Setup Goes Into
Operation Sunday
BY ]. THEODORE CROWN
Star Staff Writer

Police Chief Robert V. Muir
ray is setting up a fast-moving,
fluid detective force by shifting
most precinct plainclothesmen
to broader, city-wide service.
Under the new structure, ef-
fective Sunday, more than 100
detectives now operating out of
the IA precincts will be pooled
under two leaders.
Combined with twice that
number assigned to the head
quarters detective bureau. they
will be available for speedy
movement to any crime that
needs a rapid-fire concentra-
ton of men.
The shift is expected to give
the force a stronger weapon in
its drive against serious crime
which has spiraled in the Dis
trict in recent years.
Districts Split
For purposes of administra-
ton, the five inspection dis
tricts are being split with Capt.
Nunzio Bonaccorsy, former rob-
berry squad chief, leading the
lSt, Sd and 5th districts.
This roughly takes in all the
precincts east Of eventh street
first. second, fourth, fifth,
ninth, eleventh and fourteenth
precincts.
In charge of the other sector
will be Capt. James Sartain,
formerly detective supervisor
of the fourth district. He will
have the second and fourth dis
tricts, comprising the third,
seventh, sixth, eighth, 10th and
18th precincts.
The new plan is an evolution |
of one of Chief Murray's pet |
ideas Of stepping up detective
strength at the district and |
precinct levels.
Earlier Step Recalled
One step of that occurred in
February, 1860, when he
named Inspectors Joseph w.
Shimon and Richard j. Felber
as co-superviSors of detectives
in the inspection districts.
These two continue in that
role in the new setup. with
more clearly defined jurisdic-
tions. Inspector Shimon will
oversee the districts west O.
Seventh street and Inspector
Felber those to the east.
Over the entire system will
be Deputy Chief Edgar E.
Scott. head Of the headquarters
bureau, aided by Assistant De-
tective Chief Aubrey NJ. Tolson.
The principal new feature
transfers the precinct detectives
from control of the precinct
commanders to the direction of
Capts. Bonaccorsy and Sartain.
Chief Murray said this will
enable quick dispatching of
men under one leader to the
Jurisdiction of the other, if the
need arises.
