(
ARAB STATES
the ill-fated summit
conference in Rabat emp asizes how fundamental the
differences are between radical and conservative
Arab regimes. The leaders of the conservative Arab
countries, especially King Faysal of Saudi Arabia,
were bitterly attacked for their failure to provide
additional funds to the radical states.
Egypt's Nasir, at least in his public statements,
has played down the differences and claimed the con-
ference had its positive aspects. He did not elab-
orate, however.
An open break between the radical leaders
and the conservatives seems unlikely. For
one thing, Nasir and the other radicals
remain dependent on Kuwait and Saudi Ara-
bia for financial support of their mili-
tary adventures.

FOR THE PRESIDENT ONLY
Philippines:
a demonstration against Vice President
Agnew, planned for 29 December ht the Manila airport,
probably will be limited to about 120 participants.
The main reasons for the small turnout, according to
a spokesman of the pro-Communist youth group organ-
izing the affair, are lack of funds and the dispersal
of students because of school vacations. Another
demonstration, scheduled for 30 December during the
inauguration ceremony, is not aimed specifically at
the Vice President. Local police authorities have
been alerted to take all necessary steps.
NOTES
Israel-Egypt: Israeli pounding of the Egyp-
tian side of the Suez Canal, which has gone on al-
most daily for four months, reached a climax Thurs-
day with an air operation lasting eight and a half
hours. /the Thursday assault
destroyed SA-2 sites that the Egyptians have been
trying to rebuild after earlier strikes. It was fol-
lowed on Friday by a three-and-a-half hour attack on
targets near the southern end of the canal. All this
suggests an increased Israeli effort to "educate" the
Egyptians.
