came closer than half a mile, and
the pilot believes the fire was for
warning purposes only.

3. China - Hong
Kong
4. Iraq-Syria- a. Saturday's display of
Egypt strength by the Iraqi Baathist re-
gime--its arrest of 45 army officers
and civilians from a full anti-
Baathist spectrum--puts up another
roadblock against Arab "unity."

5. Yemen
b. Egyptian propaganda is
handling this episode cautiously
but has kept the gloves off in its
treatment of Syria's Baathist leader-
ship. Yesterday, the Egyptian clan-
destine radio broadcast an appeal
for the murder of Baathist Premier
Bitar and party leader Aflaq--"a
service which Arab history will
never forget."
C.. Nevertheless, a session is
now apparently being cooked up be-fl Nasir, Iraqi President Arif,
a high Syrian and Algeria's Ben
Bella.

c. Thinking back to the way
former regimes were overturned in
Korea and Turkey, they raise the
question--as a speculation only--
whether a working alliance between
military and student elements is
evolving.
