...build an air defense system. In London, he is expected to ask the British to refrain for the moment from giving arms aid to royalist guerrillas in Yemen so that the latter do not incite a show down with Egypt and Nasser's puppet in Yemen, Abdullah Sallal, before Saudi Arabia is ready to fight...
...evacuated 130 Americans from Yemen because of harassment of its AID mission by the republican regime of Abdullah Sallal. Two AID officials, Stephen Liapis, 33, and Harold Hartman, 36, have been jailed on trumped-up charges that they were caught attempting to blow up an ammunition dump with a bazooka. The U.S. has protested vigorously, but has hesitated to break relations lest it have to abandon Liapis and Hartman and give up its diplomatic listening posts in Yemen...

In Yemen, Nasser's cause is promoted by Sallal, who last week sent chanting mobs to stone the U.S. AID office in the city of Taiz. Displeased by the low level of U.S. economic assistance, Sallal arrested two U.S. officials on wild charges, said that they would be tried for attempting "to destroy" Taiz by firing a bazooka into an ammunition dump. The U.S. reacted by canceling its aid program and warning Sallal that...
