...they met daily for six to eight hours to deal with problems as they arose. Today there are nine, all of them demonstrably loyal to Nasser personally. Among the departed are two said to be Communists (Yussef Siddik and Khaled Moheddine) and Abdul Moneen Amin, removed for disloyalty. Salah Salem, Nasser's vociferous Minister of National Guidance and Sudanese Affairs, famed as "the dancing major" of the Sudan (TIME, Sept. 12), was booted out recently because he had bungled the Sudanese program-or had been picked to take the blame. Cairo buzzed with talk that others also...
