This call to revolt was issued by 30 armed men who sneaked across the Algerian border early last week and made their way to the phosphate mining town of Gafsa (pop. 30,000) in central Tunisia.

Fully 57 members of the Nonaligned Movement, over which Cuba currently presides, supported the resolution, and only nine followed the Soviet line.
