10 A MONDAY. DECEMBER 3. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Yemen Government Playing Both East and West for Necessary Help Cairo -IliPU- The two-month. Id Ycman Arab Republic is moving swiftly to ensure bad ly needed foreign aid from East and West alike. A Yemeni Republican dele gation returned from Moscow last week with assurances of Soviet economic and military aid for the young government of President Abdullah Sallal. The Yemeni Republicans, who arc hopeful of winning recognition soon from the United Stutes and Britain, said on Nov. 22 they had been assured of American help on road-building and water proj ects. It is too soon to tell just how intensive competition will be between East and West in helping Yemen. But in seek ing to tap both major power blocs simultaneously, the new regime is following a practice begun by the ousted monar chy. Left Canned Goods Soviet interest in Yemen goes back to the pre-foreign-aid era of 1H28 when a visit ing trade delegation signed a treaty with old Imam (King) Yahya and left behind a sup ply of canned goods. Other treaties were signed with Holland and France in the 1930s, with the United States in 1946, and with Pak. istan and Spain in 1952, but virtually nothing came of them. Oil discoveries in Saudi Arabia brought French, West German, and finally Ameri can companies to Icok at Ye men, but no commercial oil was found. Yemen remained unchanged. When the Soviets renewed their old treaty in 1955, the West paid no attention. The next year, Imam Ah med sent his son, Crown Prince Badrr who became imam on Ahmed's death last September and was dethroned by Sallal eight days later on a visit to Moscow, Peking and eastern European capitals. The result was a supply of Soviet planes, tanks, armor and military instructions, paid for, ironically, with $3 million from King Saud. Harbor Aid Given On a return tour of t h e Eastern bloc in 1958, Prince Badrr lined up Soviet aid for modernizing Yemen's Red Sea harbor at Hodcida and a $15 million 10-year interest-free loan from Communist China The Chinese also pledged con struction of the country's first paved road. And when Ye meni laborers proved inade quate, the Chinese brought in more than 1,000 coolies to do the job. The same year both Rus sians and Red Chinese opened legations in the Yemeni capi tal of Taiz. Western observers noted "anxiousness about Commu nist penetration of Yemen" when Ahmed agreed to open ing of a U. S. legation in 1959 and asked the West for famine relief. With a sudden spurt of in terest, the Americans rushed wheat to Hodcida days ahead of a similar Russian shipment, And reversing the business in "the ugly American," when Communists painted Soviet la bels on American wheat sacks the Yemenis thought the un marked Soviet sacks were more gifts from the United States. The U. S. began its first aid project, a 313-mile road from the southern port of Mocha through Taiz to Sanaa, in the spring of 1960, and a third of Problems of a Troth Courtships Among Bachelors, Career Girls in Capital Create Negotiations By DICK WEST Washington -(UPII- One of the things that set the U.S. capital apart from most other cities is its large contin- I gent of bache- I lors and ca- pt.,m reer girls, ca reer girls ' flock here be cause of the o p portunitics offered by I governm e n t nm employme n t. And bachelors flock here be cause of the opportunities of fered by career girls. It is such a good town to be a bachelor in that many men remain single beyond the normal age for marriage. This, of course, forces a lot of ca reer girls to remain single, too. Every now and then, how ever, a dedicated bachelor and a dedicated career girl will plight a troth, when that happens, something has to give. v I have observed several such courtships among the bachelors and career girls of my acquaintance, and they seem to fall Into the same pattern. First of all, they have lo fettle the question of Efforts at Selling Downed Timber Said Meeting Success Washington -WPli- The U.S. itobcr storm. Forest Service says it is J This and olhcr slcps were meeting wifh success In of- on the basis of rccommenda- forls lo sell limber blown down in the severe wind florin that ripped through West Coast tinibcrlands Oct. 12. Ira J. Mason, director of the agency's division of tim ber management, told Unit ed Press International that buyers "generally have been happy to take advantage of an "attractive" opportunity to buy the fallen timber. Mason said the forest ser vice was granting extensions on contracts for the purchase of green timber in order to encourage buyers to take the blowndown timber. Assured of Future Supply Many timber buyers, who have complained in the past about a shortage of logs, have agreed lo buy the addi tional limber while still be ing assured of a future sup ply of green timber under the extended contracts. Mason said the shift In em phasis from sale of standing timber to fallen limber was the chief action being taken by the Forest Service lo re duce losses caused by the Oc- 1 Hons made at a conference held Oct. 30-31 in Portland. Mason said the forest ser vice was making a determin ed effort to salvage billions of board feet of fallen timber wlille at the same time seek ing to minimize the impact of the added limber on the lumber industry. To Avoid Repetition "We will do as much as possible to get the timber out by May 1, 11164," he said. By about 1965, he said, infes tation by the Douglas fir bark beetle might have reached epidemic propor tions. At that time it would begin lo move out of the fall en timber into healthy, standing timber. He said the forest service was trying lo avoid repeti tion of severe losses suffered in (lie past, particularly such as those occurring as Hie re sult of a blowdown of Doug las fir In 1951. Failure lo re move downed timber In time also was blamed for Hie loss to insects of nearly 6 million board feet of spruce in Idaho and Montana. where Ihey are going to live after they are mar ried. He wants her to move into his apartment because it is more conven ient. She wants him lo move into her apartment because it has a belter view. If the career girl has room mates, the bachelor can use them as bargaining points. He can contend that his apartment will be less crowd ed. The career girl usually will agree to this, but she at taches two provisos: (1) the bachelor must take down his collection of nude calendars and (2) find another place to keep empty beer cases. He has, of course, been keeping the empties under the bed. If the bachelor accepts these conditions, they are ready to proceed to the sec ond stage of the negotiations, which is furniture. The career girl insists on bringing some of the fur niture from her apartment along with her. The bach elor naturally resists since he would have to get rid of some of his furniture to make room for it.

But Americans pdmit the job has been badly delayed because of inadequate plan ning. Example of Competition In any case, it is an example of East-West competition Yemen style. The Chinese road from Hedeida to Sanaa was paved. Yemenis wanted the U. S. road paved, too. The Americans argued they would have less trouble maintaining a graded, gravel surface for the limited traffic across their mountain wilds. The imam agreed, but Ye menis drew the conclusion that Communist Chinese build better roads. As the Americans predict ed, the paved Chinese road is now a ribbon of landslides and potholes. But Yemeni Vice President Abdulrahman Bei dani said recently the United States has agreed to pave its road as far as Mocha to Taiz. Maintenance problems, pre sumably, will be worked out later. The Yemeni Republicans, meanwhile, have elicited at least vague promises of new aid from East Germany, Yu goslavia and Communist Chi na. Britain Cautious For the West's part, the burden will fall on the United States and on West Germany, which recognized the new re gime a month ago. Britain can not postpone recognition of the republic forever, but her opposition to the revolt from Aden protectorate, and fear of traditional Yemeni claims to Aden, rule out anything but perfunctory relations with the new Yemen. Meanwhile, the new govern ment is almost entirely de pendent on the United Arab Republic, both for troops still battling dissident royalist tribesmen along the Saudi borders, and for economic and technical help. There are indi cations, however, of growing friction between the Yemenis and Egyptians.
