Egypt'sCouncilRedone But Policy Unchanged
Cairo, Egypt—(U.P.)—Egypt's ruling council reorganized its cabinet today but said internal and foreign policies shaped by ousted President Mohammed Naguib remain unchanged.
Major Salah Salem, spokesman for the government, denied expressed beliefs that the council "would be more rigorous and less moderate without Mr. Naguib's influence."
"The revolutionary council has been laying down decisions by an absolute majority and therefore Mr.Naguib's resignation won't make any change in Egypt's internal and external policies." Maj. Salem said.
The ouster of Mr. Naguib in favor of young Lt. Col. Gamal Abdel Nasser, real power behind the scenes since King Farouk was overthrown July 23, 1952, had caused some quarters to believe the new regime would drift away from the West.
Col. Nasser, Egypt's youngest premier at 36, assured the people that Mr. Naguib, now under house arrest in Cairo, need not fear for his life.
Maj. Salem, speaking for Nasser, said "we have full control of the army and police. We could use some dirty solution such as killing Mr. Naguib, but we have never stooped to such methods, even with our foes."
"I wouldn't expose the troubles between Mr. Naguib and my colleagues throughout last year because I do not want to hurt a man
I still love, though I am certain of his mistakes," Col. Nasser said.
I still love h I am certain of his mistakes." Col. Nasser said. In reshuffling his cabinet, Col. Nasser's council promoted two men to be the first promoters; they were Wing Cindr Premier Salem minister of communications, and Dr. Abdel Guell El Emary, former minister of finance.
Dr. Ali El Greitli, former under- secretary of finance, became minister of finance, and Dr. Ahmed Housni, minister of justice, was given additional duties as minister of republican and presidential affairs.

Activities Group Elects New Head
Steve Schmidt, college freshman,
replaced Jason Ott, college sophomore,
as head of Statewide Activities
home town correspondents last
night at a meeting in the Union.
Correspondents discussed their problems in sending news of the University back to home town papers. One problem is how to get the news to the paper before it gets that news from some other source. "Keep on your toes for news, as soon as it happens write features, and just keep trying." Lois Lauer from the Public Relations office said.
The group voted to have meetings every three weeks with a campus personality speaking. Last night, T. Howard Walker, director of University extension, explained the work of the six bureaus of University extension.
Many students decided to send feature stories on extension services available to their towns' newspapers.
