CAIRO OP) - Anwar Sadat was designated
Monday by leaders of Egypt's only political party
to succeed Gamal Abdel Nasser as president in
a move apparently aimed at avoiding a divisive
power struggle.
The nomination by the all-powerful executive
committee of the Arab Socialist Union was tanta-
mount to election of the 52-year-old Sadat, who
has been serving as provisional president since
Nasser died last Monday.
Sadat was considered by many observers to
be the least controversial of several contenders
for Nasser's job. He was named vice president by
Nasser last year in a governmental shakeup.
They were old friends, Sadat having joined Nasser
in the coup that toppled King Farouk 18 years
ago.
As president, Sadat will have the task of bal-
ancing the left and right wings of the Egyptian
regime, which Nasser succeeded in doing.
The left is identified with Air Marshal Ali

Sabry, a member of the executive committee who
voted for Sadat. He is known for his close ties
with Moscow.
Zakaria Mohieddin, a former interior minister
who holds no official post at present, is considered
to be right-leaning and pro-Western mainly be-
cause he advocates freer economic policies to at-
tract foreign investment.
When Nasser submitted his resignation follow-
ing the disastrous defeat by Israel in the 1967 6-
day war, he personally named Mohieddin as his
successor.
Sabry and Mohieddin had been considered the.
two top contenders for the position vacated by
Nasser's death.
Sadat was host to Soviet Premier Alexei N.
Kosygin and other world leaders who attended
Nasser's funeral Thursday. Emotional, excitable,
and a fierce nationalist, Sadat was completely
loyal to his dead friend and leader, Nasser.
Most observers doubt he will be able to fill the

heroic roll that Nasser apparently had won with
the Arab masses, but no doubts are expressed or
his devotion to the independence and dignity of
Egypt.
Sadat collapsed on the day of Nasser's funeral
and Cairo's official Middle East News Agency
said he had suffered a heart attack. A govern-
ment spokesman said later, however, that he was
in excellent health.
Sadat, a devout Moslem, is the son of a Suda-
nese mother and an Egyptian father. He speaks
English well. His wife is half-English.
He was graduated from the Egyptian Military
Academy and served in the signal corps until he
was arrested and twice imprisoned of plotting
against British rule.
Sadat was reinstated in the army in 1951 and
joined the officers' conspiracy that led to Farouk's
ouster the next year.
Shortly after the coup Sadat was named di-

rector of army public relations and managing
editor of Al-Gomhouria, the Arab Socialist Union's
newspaper.
In 1954 he was named interior minister but
then dropped out of the Cabinet in 1956.
He made a comeback in 1958 as secretary-gen-
eral of the National Union and two years later
became speaker of the National Assembly.
The unanimous nomination by the union's
eight-man executive committee went to the party's
150-member central committee.
An offical party statement said the executive
committee recommended that the National As-
sembly meet in formal session Wednesday to en-
dorse Sadat and that a national referendum be
held Oct. 15. The president would be sworn
in two days later. In the referendum, the only
choice the voters would have would be to approve
or disapprove the man named by the party and
the assembly.

NEW FIGHTING broke out in northern Jordan yesterday
between government troops and Palestinian guerrillas, according
to a guerrilla communique issued in Beirut.
Jordanian army sources said earlier that the guerrillas has begun
to withdraw from the northern cities, but a new agreement allowed
their militia and supplies to remain.E
PRESIDENT NIXON ended his five-nation European tour
yesterday with a swing through the showery Irish countryside.
In Dublin a handful of dissenters threw eggs and other objects at
his car from an otherwise applauding and cheering crowd.
President Nixon arrived at Andrews Air Force Base last night.
THE CHILEAN CHRISTIAN DEMOCRATIC party condi-
tionally committed its congressmen Sunday night to Marxist
presidential candidate Salvador Allende.
A constitutional amendment must be passed guaranteeing that
Allende's government will respect Chile's democratic system, for
Allende to receive the needed support.
The 75 Christian Democratic votes in the 200-member congress
would assure election for Allende.
BOLIVIAN PRESIDENT Alfredo Ovando Candia apparently
weathered an attempt by the army chief of staff to overthrow
him Sunday.
"I want neither war nor bloodshed, but I am here to rule the
destiny of the nation," the president told a crowd Sunday night.
Gen. Rogelio Miranda demanded Ovando's resignation in aj
Sunday morning broadcast, charging that the Ovando govern-
ment "has frustrated the hopes of the people and the armed forces."

GREECE'S MILITARY RULERS received $168 million worth
of military equipment from the United States in the last three
years, despite the United States' publicly proclaimed selective
arms embargo against that country.
Defense Department spokesman said that some of the aid had
been to shore up NATO, although the United States took the action
unilaterally and did not consult any NATO allies.

Lindsay

NEW YORK (R) - After an ultimatum from Mayor John
Lindsay, prisoners yesterday released the last of 32 hostages
they seized during riots at five New York City jails. A hand-
ful of inmates still held out in one jail, including nine Black
Panthers on trial on charges of conspiracy to bomb and
murder.
Inmates are demanding lower bail, speedier trials and
better prison conditions.
The Panthers were among a band of 35 barricaded on
the top floor of the Long Island City detention center. They
were said to want their lawyers present to insure against any
mistreatment after surrender.

stop' attack
on highway
SAIGON (-) - Cambodian gov-
ernment troops beat off yesterday
the heaviest Communist attack so
far on Phnom Penh's lifeline
highway to the sea.
But the vital route - Highway
4 to the nation's only deepwater
port at Komgpong Som - along
with at least four other major
highways remained closed.
And, 47 miles north of Phnom
Penh, government troops w e r e
forced to retreat from a village
under Communist attack.
The fresh fighting in Cambodia
came as the country's National
Assembly and Senate voted unan-
imously yesterday to end the an-
cient monarcy and install a West-
ern-style republic in its place.
The republic will be proclaimed
Friday and will go into effect
Nov. 1.
The change apparently will have
little immediate effect on life in
Cambodia, now ruled by a mili-
tary regime headed by Gen. Lon
Nol as premier.
The Lon Nol junta took over
March 18 when the chief of state,
Prince Norodom Sihanouk, w a s
deposed i.n a bloodless coup while
he was out of the country. He is
now living in exile in Peking.
