Egyptian Election To End this Week
Page 3
CAIRO—(UPI)—The three-week long nationwide voting due to end this week is a major step toward implementation of President Gamal Abdel Nasser's socialist state.
The balloting, which will end Saturday, is for delegates to the 1,750-member national Congress of popular forces whose job will be to draw up the charter for Nasser's projected system.
The Congress is part of a multi-stage process, expected to take about a year, which will culminate in the writing of a new constitution and the election of a new National Assembly.
The elections are being conducted in eight "sectors" representing a cross section of the nation. Each sector has been allotted a certain number of Congress seats depending on its size, importance and contribution to national production.
THE ENTIRE PROGRAM for a "socialist, democratic, cooperative state" will be the political base of Nasser's general internal overhaul following Syria's secession from the United Arab Republic last September.
The farmers have been allotted the most seats-375. They are followed by industry, professional associations and unions, business civil service, teaching staff of universities, women, and students in that order.
SEVERAL THOUSAND citizens were deprived of the right to run for a Congress seat or vote in the elections. They included members of the former royal family, persons convicted of crimes against the state, former members of the dissolved political parties, and officials affected by Nasser's agrarian reform, nationalization projects and sequestration measures.
Anwar El-Sadat, secretary general of the Congress preparatory committee, said recently the charter will cover basic "domestic and foreign policies in addition to principles for safeguarding public freedoms."
Nearly six million Egyptians were eligible to vote, and each sector was scheduled for its own election according to a time table announced by Nasser last month.
The main task of the Congress, which is expected to convene some time next month, will be to discuss and act upon a draft national charter which Nasser will present. The delegates will be free to amend it.
The next step after promulgation of the charter will be a drastic reorganization of the national union, the single political organization which Nasser says must embrace the entire nation. There will be new elections for constituent committees of the union.
The union has been in existence for several years but Nasser "froze" it last October after the merger of Egypt and Syria was dissolved. Nasser said the union had been infiltrated by "reactionary and opportunist elements" which sought to dominate it.

Backstage with Fred MacMurray
"I'm not a dedicated actor," confessed Fred MacMurray. In this week's Post, he tells about the "accidents" that made him a star. How he nearly passed up his role in "My Three Sons"—now a hit on ABC Television. And how he gets along with his TV kids.
A KU debate team won the junior division of the Arkadelphia Debate Tournament last weekend. Members are Joy Bullis, Davenport, Iowa, freshman, and Ralph Tremain, Salina sophomore.
Debate Team Wins Meet

in the other teams, John E Stuckey, Pittsburg sophomore, and Dean Salter, Garden City junior, were defeated in the semi-finals of the senior division in the Arkadelphia tournament.
In the Northwestern University tournament Louis A. Lawrence, Great Bend senior, and Daniel R. Crary, Kansas City, Kan., junior, won six and lost two and John E. Neal and Donald E. Worster, Hutchinson juniors, won four and lost four.
Dr. William A. Linkugel, assistant professor of speech, accompanied the Arkadelphia teams and Miss Patricia Elliot, assistant professor of speech, accompanied the Northwestern teams.
Students Use Home Labs
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — (UPI) — Electrical engineering students at Massachusetts Institute of Technology are doing their homework these days in "take home" laboratories.
The kit of components for electronic circuits is about the size of a large textbook. "Since the student may now take his laboratory to the dormitory, he relieves greatly the strain on other laboratory facilities," said MIT President J. A. Stratton. "Much more important is the fact that he will be able to tinker at will in electronic circuits, on his own time, for as long as he likes."
