Salem, Oregon, Thursday, February 21, 1957 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL' Section 1 Page 13 Nasser's Eyes Everywhere in British Colony Undeclared War Rages To Expel English From Aden By JOE MORRIS Culled PRESS Slalt Correspondent ADEN (UP)-Walk down any lusty street in this teeming, sun baked nerve center of a strategic British colony. The eyes of Egyptian President Samal Abdel Nasser will follow you all the way, gleaming flourcs :ently from shop windows. Blaring radios bring the "Voice if Cairo" into every corner of this Oriental market. Barefoot and bedraggled urchins Ihrcading their way among honk ing cars, wandcrine coals and wailing beggars taunt the white man witn shouts of Nasser! Nas ser! t This is an undeclared war to oust I he British from one of their few remaining toeholds in the oil-rich Middle East. Here it is lareelv a Xverbal war. 1 Up in the rugged mountains and ijdesert of the Aden protectorate, jthe same battle 'is beine fought vith guns. The pictures of Nasser fere hidden there, but his influ- rnce is leu. i .- .

At Arab piovie houses, the anthem no long er is Dlaved at all. Remarkably, tbcre was no trou ble in the colony, site of a vital British naval base, when the Suez war llared. But business slumped, end, as this was written, there were only three small freighters in the once-jammed harbor. The Tiil refinery cut back production two-thirds but kept men at work with a "crash" maintenance and repair program. ' 5 There was serious trouble In In Hinterland, where the worst border fighting between the Brit ish and the neighboring Arab state of Yemen since 1934 eruDted. The battle continues, with nightly raids by iemeni tribesmen on encamp ments of Cameron Highlanders and Aden torts. j Lure By Rlllei The British say that 1,000 Aden tribesmen who dye their faces blue for battle have gone over to the Yemen in recent months, lured ::by offers of rifles and payment if . -4 they use them well. The Naib of Ibb, a Yemeni leader, claims 200.- 1 000 Aden tribesmen one-fifth of the protectorate's population I have deserted to join the fight to Ir'free occupied Yemen." The Yem- ms claim Britain has "occupied their territory. Nasser and the Communist world have backed Yemen's cry. Rifles are strange bait. But they are highly valued in a land where tribal feuds and bandits make it advisable to have one handy at all times. They cost up to $475 apiece, leaving tribesmen with the choice of working half a liftime to buy one or just slipping across the Yemen to pick one up. The temptation is too strong for many a tribesman to resist.

Eden said in a brief news con- ference that this was his first full day out of bed since two bouts with fever during the trans-Pacif ic voyage aboard the liner Rangi tata.
