...industrial development, and East Germany announced $100 million more credits. But the strain will continue as long as Nasser insists upon keeping Egypt on a war footing against Israel and pursuing his expensive war in Yemen. Last week both Britain and the U.S. accused the Egyptians of bombing Yemeni royalists with poison gas. The two nations indicated that they would support international action by the Red Cross and the United Nations to stop such practices...
Polyglot Population. The Israelis achieved social miracles as well?if on a more modest scale. The waves of postwar immigrants threw together Jews of all possible backgrounds and appearances, from the brown-skinned illiterate Yemeni to the bearded Orthodox Jews of East Europe's ghettos to the sport-shirted sophisticates of the West.

The British may be getting the point. Last week British Foreign Secretary George Brown appeared in Parliament with a first hint that Britain might at least consider staying on in Aden for a while. It was still the government's intention...
...country has made far more social and economic gains under the austere Feisal than it ever did under Saud. Even those Bedouin chieftains whose loyalty Saud won in the old days with bags of gold are not clamoring to have him back. The grim example of the 17 Yemeni terrorists whom Feisal recently had beheaded in Riyadh should also discourage dissident tribesmen from siding with Saud...
