SUPPORT FROM

TRUMAN

Chicago, July 25..

President Truman came out publicly on Thursday in support of Gov. Adlai Stevenson for the Democratic Presidential nomination, pushing the reluctant Illinois governor toward an almost certain early bullot victory.

The Coalition forces of Sen. Estes Kefauver and Averell Harriman were still manoeuvring to stop the Stevenson bandwagon, but their cause appeared to be in jeopardy. In addition to the tremendous support of the President, Stevenson was picking up delegates all the time.

The latest UP tabulation showed him in second place in the number of pledged and known first ballot choices. Kefauver still led with 299 first ballot votes; Stevenson followed with 234, passing Sen. Richard. Russell who now has 229. Averell Harriman has 116. Needed for nomination-616,

STEEL STRIKE IN US OVER

Washington, July 24.

From ARTHUR COOK

Cairo, July 24. King Farouk's position is still not clear. Since yesterday's coup d'etat he has not left his palace, and today's acceptance of Aly Maher Pasha was a pure formality. Farouk's national anthem which preceded every radio programme has dis- appeared from the air. In its place are played the Egyptian army anthem and the army song of independence.

Military censorship has been clamped down on all Egyptian newspapers, and for the first kime in months they appeared today with some semblance of Truth

General Nagulb has warned them they must submit proofs of everything to censorship, but nothing will be allowed which is not honest. At the same time, ho says, nothing will be suppressed which is true, whatever It may

be

One officer has been charged with high treason. Two hours before the coup d'elat was due to take place he revealed the plan to the Chief of Staff, General Farid, who called his command- ing offleeru together im- mediately. But the meeting was surrounded and all the officers were arrested.London Express Service.
