*Yemen: President Nasir may reveal Cairo's
future position on the Yemen crisis in his annual
May Day speech this afternoon.
With the evacuation of most US personnel from
Yemen completed, Nasir may now decide how best to
wring maximum political advantage from the case of
two US AID officials still being held for trial by the
Yemenis.
Details of the line to be taken may have been
hammered out in a series of meetings between Egyp-
tian and Yemeni leaders which began in Cairo yester-
day. Immediately following the US withdrawal, the
Yemeni deputy premier and the commander of the
Egyptian forces in Yemen flew to Cairo, where they
met with the Egyptian vice president, Field Marshal
Amir, and the foreign minister.
These officials appear already convinced:. that the
charges against the two AID officers are true and thus
probably are concerned primarily with exploiting the
incident to the greatest extent possible. On 30 April--
prior to their meeting with the Yemeni deputy premier--
both Amir and Foreign Minister Riyad sought to con-
vey to US officials the impression that they believe the
quarrel is between Yemen and the United States, but
that Egypt would try to help and that it recognizes the
implications for Egyptian-U'S relations.
This could indicate that Nasir intends to adopt
the stance of an aggrieved third party, while secretly
controlling events in Yemen.. Another possibility has
been raised by Cairo radio's statement yesterday that
the "US aggression requires retaliation from all Arabs."
Nasir may regard the events in Yemen as an indication
that the time is now ripe for another hard-line anti-
American speech.

USSR: Ambassador Foster believes Moscow still
strongly desires a nonproliferation agreement, despite
its dissatisfaction with a section of the present draft.
A member of the Soviet delegation noted on 29 April
that his government was "seriously troubled" by all the
apparent exceptions in the US draft of Article III deal-
ing with inspection.
The Soviets are still bothered by the fact they would
in effect have to accept EURATOM. They have stated
that they might feel compelled to set up their own counter-
part to that organization.
Although they previously had refused to do so, the
Soviets are now suggesting that a treaty draft leaving
Article III blank be tabled. T'imerbaev, a high- level
member of the Soviet delegation, has suggested that a
statement could be made to the Eighteen Nation Disar-
mament Committee that the cochairmen were working on
the safeguards article, thus a.voidin a heated debate on
this sub' ect for the time being.

Dominican Republic: :increasing right-wing
dissatisfaction with President Balaguer has led to
renewed rumors of antigovernment plotting.
There is no evidence that potential plotters
are yet capable of action. Nevertheless, Balaguer's
political position continues to be eroded. Attempts
to revive the once powerful. National Civic Union as
an opposition group underscore the increasing dissat-
isfaction with the government among anti- Balaguer
conservatives. A few rightists are busy promoting
an "anti- Communist, anti- Trujillista Dominican Free-
dom Front."
Even the respected, moderate Santo Domingo
daily Listin Diario has expressed concern over "prim-
itive elements" in the government. The secretary
general of the Social Christian Party, which is still
clinging to its policy of "constructive opposition," has
also shown greater public sensitivity to the presence
of "Trujillista" elements in the administration.
Balaguer has failed to act firmly to check this
criticism. Indeed, two of his recent personnel ac-
tions have fed it. He has named a former eulogist of
the late dictator to replace Amiama as minister of
interior and police and has reinstated one of Trujillo's
most feared and brutal police officers.
The military, the ultimate key to stability, con-
tinues publicly to present a facade of support for -Bala-
guer. Nevertheless, some dissatisfaction exists, par-
ticularly in the air force, and rightist civilians are
sure to try to exacerbate it.

South Korea: President Pak Chong-hui is strongly
favored to win tomorrow's presidential election. His
leading rival, former president Yun Po- son, has focused
his campaign on criticizing government corruption and
alleged oppression, but without offering any positive al-
ternative to Pak's generally successful administration.
Except for some minor bureaucratic and police harass-
ment of Yun's campaign, the government has so far
avoided actions that might discredit the election results.
