Gamel Abdel Nasser was President of Egypt, at that time part of the United Arab Republic, and said in an interview with a Scripps-Howard reporter that the Soviet Union was planning to set up a Communist government in Egypt. A similar headline from the Albuquerque Tribune was entitled "Nasser Charges Reds Plot His Overthrow" [1]
