ACTION

Cairo, Nov. 14.

General Mohammed Nagulb, removed from office as Egyptian Pre- sident today, will be brought to trial if sufficient evidence is found about his alleged association with a Moslem Brotherhood plot to overthrow the regime of the Egyptian Premier, a Revolution Command spokesman said tonight.

The spokesman said the Government of Lieutenant-Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser will open an immediate investigation into the allegations. He said there would be no possibility of President Naguib's being allowed to go into exile abroad.

Representatives of 300 trade unions and workers organisations, at a mass meeting in Cairo tonight, backed the Revolutionary Command Council decision to relieve President Naguib of his post.

progress, that the twin city concept places
