CAIRO, Egypt (AP)—Egypt's new Prime Minister Ahmed Naguib Hilaly Pasha announced suspension of Parliament for 30 days and today headed into a reform regime dedicated to purging corruption from the government.
He also began preparing for new talks with Britain on control of the Suez Canal zone and the Sudan.
Announcement of the parliamentary suspension, which his predecessor Aly Maher Pasha had refused to approve, was the first major action of the 60-year-old jurist and independent last night after the swearing in of his cabinet.
The new government also suspended indefinitely operation of Egypt's biggest school, Fuad University in Cairo, after students began a sitdown strike protesting continued martial law and any agreements with the West. Late yesterday afternoon police cleared out the students and closed the university grounds.
Maher Pasha resigned unexpectedly Saturday. Some political leaders had wanted him to dissolve Parliament and call new elections.
This was sought as a move against the strongly nationalist Wafdist party, which now dominates Parliament.
