The Egyptian press service reported from Yemen yesterday that the Yemeni rebel leader had made a plea to the Soviet charg�or help in foodstuffs. a. Adoula yesterday laid the draft of a new constitution before the assemblage of provincial chiefs in Leopoldville. No Katangan repre- sentatives were recorded as being on hand.

Yugoslav-Bloc relations a. The Yugoslays are saying that their relations with the Russians on the ideological plane are on the mend. b. Belgrade believes that last month's visit by Soviet President Brezhnev has helped to pave the way toward a reconciliation between the two Communist parties.

The Poles, pleased by the signs they see, have promptly scheduled a visit by their foreign minister to Belgrade late this month. r -rl n � I #���� I r, Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/23: CIA-RDP79T00936A001100130001-0 50X1 50X1  I r_ t=1 I=1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/23 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001100130001-0 NOTES A.
