dated March 29, 1954: Tension in Cairo

Egypt appears moving towards a showdown in the conflict between President Naguib and his Deputy Premier, Colonel Nasser over the country's future. Colonel Nasser, heading a "revolt" against General Naguib's plans to end military rule in July in favour of an elected Constituent Assembly, declared on March 28: "The situation is out of my hands...
