An entirely new long-term aid to Britain programme is being con- sidered in United States Government circles, Reuter learned authoritative- ly today.

Drops A Further Hint To The
Politicians
Cairo, Aug. 25.
General Mohammed Naguib, Egyptian Commander-in-Chief and “strong man,” insisted again tonight that Egypt's political parties should purge themselves as the armed forces had done.
He told a Press conference that the aim of the purge movement was to lead the country to con- stitutional stability and reiterated that the army's main concern was the maintenance of public security.
"This is the basis of our movement,” he said.
General Naguib said that about 150 officers had been re- moved from the three gorvices in the armed forces purge.
The army method, he said, Was to set three separate com→ missions which examined each individual case. If all three agreed that an officer was guilty
