Last year the British bowed to nationalist demands and announced that they would grant independence in 1968 to a South Arabian federation of Aden and 16 neighboring sheikdoms.

Though Nasser has pared his forces from 70,000 men to 40,000, he noisily threatens to attack the Saudi Arabian border towns supplying the royalists. For his part Saudi King Feisal is arming for more trouble. On top of a long-range $500 million arms package signed last December with the U.S. and Britain, Feisal recently signed an additional smaller arms deal with Britain, for 36 Thunderbird antiaircraft missiles and ten rocket...
