Sabry Opponent Of Arab Federation Sparks Egyptian Shakeup

Egypt dismissed Vice President Ali Sabry a key leftist critic of the Egypt Libya Syria federation. The move came days before Secretary of State William P. Rogers arrives for talks with President Anwar Sadat on the Arab-Israeli stalemate. Sabry opposed the federation and had ties to the Soviet Union, while remaining a Sadat ally in the government’s power balance. The dismissal leaves Hussein el Shafri as the No 2 official, and Sabry’s ouster followed rumors of a rift with Sadat. Rogers visited the region, drawing cautious international reaction.
