...Senate's 51-to-42 acceptance of an amendment that snarled up the civil rights bill by specifying jury trials in criminal contempt cases. Acute unhappiness overtoned the crisp and unprecedented statement that a grim-jawed Dwight Eisenhower dictated to his press secretary. "My first reaction ... is to extend my sincere appreciation to ... those Senators who stood ... in valiant and persistent efforts to bring to all our citizens protection in their right to vote-a protection of which many are now deprived.

Khaled Moheddine, once known as the "Red Major," who is publisher of the Communist-line newspaper Al Messa, survived as did two or three other Communist sympathizers. But about 25 others, including Kamel el Bindari, the "Red Pasha" who is rated the spiritual father of Egyptian Communism, were eliminated by the council and told to take down their election posters...
