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.

of Pigs failed and the situa
tion has since deteriorated,"
Fisher said.

overhaul federal laws for con
trol of narcotics and other ad
dictive dniRs.
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-

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.

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.

Waters Receding;
Death Toll Soars
Barcelona, Spain - IUPD -The
waters of the worst flood in
modern Spanish history be
gan to recede today, reveal
ing the full extent of a trag
edy that has caused hundreds

lars worth of damage.

hours of torrential rains which
ended a drought of several
months. The rains stopped
Thursday night and clear
skies appeared once again
over the devastated land.
Area Shambles
More than 300 square miles
of land rich in farming and
industry became a shambles
of death and debris. The rains
caused three rivers to over
flow, sending destruction
through the towns and villages
around Barcelona in north
cast Spain.

the worst of the flood, receiv
ed thousands of refugees from
the towns of Tarrasa. Sabadcll
and Rubi- the worst-hit lo

and money arrived from such
varied sources as the Vatican
and the widow of the late Aga
Khan.

Also In this section, Beck
