Imam Badr is showing far more political skill than before. His ragtag army is supplied with arms, munitions and money (heavy Maria Theresa thalers shipped in by camel caravan) from Saudi Arabia and British-administered South Arabia, neither of which wants Nasser as a near neighbor. The royalist radio last week skillfully tried to widen the split in republican ranks by promising amnesty to all nonroyalists once the Egyptians were withdrawn. Further, Imam Badr promised the people of Yemen a new form of government: "a constitutionally democratic system" ruled by a "national assembly elected by the people of Yemen...
Spellman's Camel. Two-thirds of the added $1.5 billion would go to local school districts on the basis of the number of pupils whose families have annual incomes of $2,000 or less, as a step toward Johnson's State of the Union pledge that "every child must have the best education our nation can provide."

...Grosvenor, 86, last living child of Alexander Graham Bell, wife of Gilbert Grosvenor, board chairman of the National Geographic Society, who was never satisfied with being merely a relative to the famous, and won a reputation as a naturalist and geographer (while raising six children), traveling the globe by camel and canoe, elephant and helicopter, including a 22,000-mile trek through Africa at the age of 73; in Bethesda...
Died. Richard Joshua Reynolds, 58, playboy heir to a king-size slice of his father's tobacco empire (Camel, Winston, Salem), who scorned the family trade to become a taxi driver, deck hand, aviator, ship owner, horse breeder and sometime Democratic politician, managing meanwhile to run through $10 million of his $25 million inheritance settling three marriages; of chronic pulmonary emphysema; in Lucerne, Switzerland, 36 hours before his fourth wife gave birth to a daughter...
