Zanzibar's Rebel Regime
Wins Soviet Recognition
ZANZIBAR (UPI) The sixtoday that it was stepping up
day-old rebel government today efforts to collect arms from the
proclaimed this African island
a "people's republic" and thej
Soviet Union quickly joined at;
least four other Communist na
tions in granting it diplomatic
recognition.
(In Nairobi, Kenya, a savage
attack against the United States
ana Britain was heard overl
Zanzibar Radio by the insur
gent leader "field marshal"
John Okello.
(Okello, who claims he be
came a master weapons expert
with the Mau Mau in Kcyna,
said "if the Americans inter
fere, we will fight even with
lumps of soil."
"As from this moment British
and American press representa
tives arc completely banned,"
he said. "These are hypocrites
and liars."
(The Zanzibar rebel leader,
who Friday denied he had tak
en over as president, said "Zan
zibar is an African country and
1 don't see why Britain and
America should interfere with
us." Apparently referring to a
British Broadcasting Corp. re
port, Okello said, "I have just
heard the infidel, savage people
who live lies like their father
Satan."
The new regime announced
revolutionary army.
A press officer said Commu
nist China, Yugoslavia, North
Korea and East Germany have
recognized the six-day-old rebel
regime.. Ghana, Kenya and Eth
iopia also have extended recog
nition, he said.
The government denied that
"Field JIarshal" John Okello wil
be president, as Radio Zanzibar
reportedly said and then denied
Friday.
It said Sheikh Abeid Karume
is president and Okello is head
of the "revolutionary armed
forces."
All British publications will be
banned and listening to British
broadcasts will be forbidden,
the official announcement said.
Tanganyika flew about 200
heavily-armed policemen to Zan
zibar today to help reorganize
the police force, disrupted by
the revolt.
The British navy survey ship
Owen took 5 U. S. newsmen and
130 Britons off the island Friday.
The newsmen, who liad been
held in house arrest, were or
dcred to leave by the govern
incnt.
U. S. Charge D'affaires Fred
erick P. Picard III was ordered
out of the country by special
plane.
Picard and embassy third
secretary Donald K. Petlcrson
were the only American offici
als left on Zanzibar after the
revolt which ousted the Arab
backed government Sunday and
installed an African regime.
The two diplomats were ar
rested by President Abeid Ka
rume on charges of interfering
m the case of the U. S. news
men, who were alleged to have
entered Zanzibar illegally.

PANAMA CITY (UPI) - The
exodus of U.S. Diplomat.' from
Panama left consular officials
today as tiie only American
government representatives in
this country.
About 300 diplomats and
members of embassy-connected
agencies flocked into the Canal
Zone Friday when the Pana
manian government recalled its
representatives from Washing
ton and ordered the U.S. Em
bassy staff to get out of
Panama.
The mass departuro complet
ed the diplomatic break pro
claimed by Panama at the
height of the anti-American
lots here last week. It was the
first time tics with the United
States nad been severed since
Panama became independent
with U.S. aid 60 years ago.
The highest-ranking Ameri
can remaining here was Consul
General Henry Taylor, who had
been serving as first secretary
of the embassy in addition to
his consular duties.
Charge d'Affaires Wallace
Stuart and other embassy offi
cials were in the zone, awaiting
instructions from Washington
Leftist-led university students
assailed the United States at a
mass meeting here rriday
night, demanding "demilitariza
tion" of the zone and abandon
mcnt of the U.S. treaty right to
neroetual control of the canal
For the second time in 48
hours, the students paraded to
the Panamanian "white nouse,
where President Roberto Chiur
assured them in a balcony
speech that Panama's position
"will not change."
Chiari told Wednesday night's
student marchers that his gov
crnment will not renew rela
tions with the United States un
til that country promises to re
negotiate itB treaties witn fan-
ama. , .
Friday night's paradcrs as
sured Chiari he can count on
student support as long as he
continues to insist on revision
of the treaties.
The demonstration dispersed
without reported violence
Edward O'Connor, president
of the American Society of Pan
ama, said he sees no reason for
Amoriean businessmen and
their families to leave Panama
despite last week's smash-and-
burn attacks on U.S. property.
, O'Connor, a travel agency ex
ecutive who has lived in Pana
n.a for 15 years, conceded that
growing anti-Amcriean senti
ment in Panama provides
grounds for "justifiable con
cern," but said he doubts that
many unofficial Americans will
