(UP1) Army Rebels of Yemen Organize New Government Dedicated To Arab Ties London - IUP1I - The army rebels who killed the imam of Yemen announced forma tion of a new government to day as Prince Self Al Islam Al Hasan flew home from New York in an attempt to regain the throne. The rebels proclaimed the new government of the re public of Yemen In a broad cast over Sanaa Radio. The revolutionary "supreme com mand" raid the new regime would be dedicated to furth ering Arab ties, establishing diplomatic relations with all countries "which honor our freedom and independence," and would accept foreign aid if it came without strings. Appointed Premier The rebel strongman, ac cording to the Sanaa broad cast heard in the nearby British protectorate of Aden, emerged as Col. Abdullah As Sallal, supreme commander of the Yemeni amy. He was appointed chairman (premier) of the Council of Ministers and president of the "Revolu tionary Council." Hasan, who has been head of Yemen's delegation to the United Nations, flew to Lon don from New York and im mediately proclaimed himself the new imam to succeed his slain nephew. He booked res ervations for Aden and said he would relurn to his home land by a secret route to "liquidate that band of reb els." Bloodshed seemed certain if Hasan makes it, since the regular army Rroup which re belled has only about 3,000 members, whereas Hasan ap parently has the loyalty of some 400,000 fierce desert warriors. Impartial Ntw Lacking There was little direct, Im partial news from the scene but one report from Damas cus, Syria, indicated a battle was brewing between the revolutionaries and counter revolutionaries. The. report in the London Evening Stand ard said princes of the ousted royal family "were reported marching with tribal warriors towards the capital of Sanaa" to crush the revolt. A spokesman for the Ye meni legation here told Unit ed Press lnternatior.al that confirmation had been re ceived that Self El Islam El Badr, 36, the Imam who ruled for eight days, had been slain with his family when rebels shelled the royal place at Taiz Wednesday night. "The death of the imam, his mother, his wife and his chil dren lias been confirmed to us," the spokesman said.

Kennedy made the an nouncement at the closing ses sion of a two-day White House conference on narcotics and drug abuse. The conference was attend ed by 400 leading medical and social scientists, law enforce ment officers and public offi cials from all parts of the country. Before the attorney general revealed the administration plans, the; conferees warned that America cannot solve its narcotics problem with pres ent laws which send addicts to prison for long periods without parole. The delegates appealed for more humane statutes under which drug victims would be treated as sick people rather than criminals. Strong support was voiced at the conference for a new approach called "civil com mitment'' under which addicts would receive compulsory hos pitalization followed by close ly supervised parole and after care. Kennedy indicated that the new legislation will provide tor "extensive experimenta tion" with tliis "particularly promi.-mg approach " It also is expected to pro vide much stricter federal control over non narcotic drugs such as barbiturates and amphetamine pep pills which can cause addiction. 1 President Kennedy told the 1 conference Thursday there has been "an alarming increase" in the abuse of these drugs, cs- Republicans Said Ignoring Need of American People Wheeling, W.Va. - IUPD -President Kennedy returned to the scene of a 1960 political triumph Thursday night and called upon Democrats to maintain their party control in Congress by defeating Re publicans who he charged ig nored the needs of the Amer ican people. A steady rain whittled the crowd to 12,000 but they gen erated enthusiasm when they heard the President attribute West Virginia's e c o n o m i c "comeback" to the Democrats. "I want you to know how much I appreciate all of you coming here tonight on a cold, rainy night," Kennedy said. "I want to assure you that we will send to Congress in Janu ary, 1863, a program that will continue the progress of West Virginia and the nation." His speech was about 11 minutes shorter than his pre pared text, apparently because he did not want to keep the crowd too long in the rain at Wheeling Island Stadium, Crowds Line Rout Thousands lined along the route of the presidential mo torcade despite the drizzly, foggy weather. The President, wearing a dark-blue raincoat, started the 45-minute ride sit ting with West Virginia Gov. William W. Barron under the plexiglass "bubble top" of his limousine. But the bubble lop was taken down when the car en tered the city and the Presi dent rode beside Barron and Rep. Cleveland M. Bailey, (D-W.Va.). Bailey's candidacy against Rep. Arch A. Moore (R-W. Va.) in the newly merged First Congressional District got a boost by the presidential visit. Kennedy's appearance here was calculated to stimulate support of voters for Demo cratic candidates of Pennsyl vania and Ohio as well as West Virginia in the Nov. 6 election. Kennedy referred to Wheel ing as "the place the Demo cratic victory of 1960 had its start." He referred to his vic tory in the state when he de feated Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota in the primary. "I assure you tonight that It will also be the starting place for the Democratic vic tory of 1962," he said. Kennedy recalled to the peo ple of West Virginia their long economic doldrums of the 1950s. He charged that Eisen hower administration was re sponsible for the economic "decline and rot." He also blamed the Republi cans for defeating such key administration proposals this year as aid to colleges and uni versities and federal financing of temporary unemployment compensation, and for oppos ing area redevelopment, hous ing, minimum wage and tax reform legislation. Steps Up Criticism In addresses to Pennsylvan ia and Ohio Democrats last week, Kennedy stepped up blunt criticism of the Rcpuo lican administration under Ei senhower. But Thursday night he emi phazied he was dealing in pro grams and policies instead of personalities. The President will hit the campaign trail each October weekend. He will be in Ken tucky, Ohio, Michigan and Minnesota Oct. 5-6-7. fL BIS JOKE - S. R. Sprague, 41, of Pittsfield, Mass., learn ed that bomb scare jokes on an airplane are as funny as a flameout when his "clever" comment got him whisked off his New York-bound' plane and into the U.S. Marshal's office in San Francisco. Sprague, aboard a United Air lines jetliner, was asked by a stewardess if she could hang up his coat. "Wait 'til I get the atom bomb out of the pocket," he replied. But if the bomb - his small camera -didn't blow up in his face, his joke surely did. He was booked on a misdemeanor aild faces a year in jail and a SI, 000 fine if convicted (UPI) pecially among young people. The attorney general made clear that the administration's legislative proposals will no', alter present national policy of handing out stiff mandatory jail sentences to narcotics racketeers. But he said a dis- Unction should be drawn be. I tween criminals exploiting the drug traffic and addicts "who may be peddlers only to j support the cost of their own addiction." He said the President would ! appoint a White House com ; mission on narcotics and drug . abuse to coordinate federal efforts in this field and to aid j in developing the new legis i lative program.
