They have coalesced into a Committee for the Defense of National Sovereignty to keep the pressure on President Chiari to stiffen his attitude toward us. In the weeks ahead, they will be aided in this by campaigning for May's Presidential elec- tions. coup plotting.

Arab Summit: The Arab summit ended yester- day. The communique is vague about its accom- plishments, but several seem indicated. Agreement was evidently reached on an essen- tially moderate response to Israel's preparations to use the Jordan waters.

There is no sign yet, however, that the at- tention he lavished on King Saud will bring better relations between these two countries. 6. Zanzibar: Evidence is mounting of complicity in the coup of officials in both the Kenyan and Tanganyikan government. Past support of some of the coup leaders from both Cuba and Communist China is an established fact. The extent of their direct participation, if any, is not yet clear. The traditional enmity between Arab and Afri- can in Zanzibar,could erupt into communal violence, and many of the Arab population, seeing handwrit- ing on the wall, are departing for the mainland. US Charg?icard was declared PNG on Thursday, and, along with four US newsmen, has gone to Dar- es-Salaam. Yesterday, all British and American newsmen were banned from the island.

Anti-American feeling is thus whipping up, Only one American remains: the Embassy's Third Secretary Petterson. 7. Yemen: Last week's reorganization of the Yemeni government was actually a step backward. There was no broadening of political representa- tion in the government, and the presence of two Egyptians on the all-powerful National Security Council makes the country appear more than ever. an Egyptian colony. It does not have the backing of important tribesmen and religious elders, and probably will prove unstable in the long run. 8. Bolivia: New unrest, possibly violence, is in the offing in Bolivia. The nominating convention of President Paz' MNR (National Revolutionary Movement) party opened yesterday, and if, as is planned, Vice President Lechin is denied a place on the ticket, he is likely to lead his supporters into the streets if not attempt a coup.
