FOR THE PRESIDENT ONLY
ICELAND
NATO Secretary-General Luns has proposed that
the UK withdraw its warships from the disputed area
in the expectation that Iceland would cease harass-
ment of the British trawlers.
Reykjavik and London may respond today'..
The plan probably would be acceptable to
London if supported by a reasonable guar-
antee that Iceland would cooperate.
At a special NATO Council session yester-
day, the Icelandic representative implied
that his country desired to resume negoti-
ations if the warships withdraw, but gave
no indication that harassment of British
trawlers would cease. In a later conver-
sation, the Icelandic delegate said he
thought his government would cease har-
assment. His assessment, however, may
not have allowed for the inflamed public
sentiment that has permitted radical poli-
ticians in Iceland to take the initiative.

FOR THE PRESIDENT ONLY
THE YEMENS
Increased Adeni terrorist operations
against Yemen (Sana) threaten the tenuous
cease-fire in effect since the, two Yemens
signed a unity agreement Last October.
This morning Sana announced the assassination
of a member of its three-man ruling Republican Coun-
cil. In all, some 40 Sana military personnel and
civilians have been killed in sabotage and guerrilla
attacks this month. Although Aden has conducted a
steady terrorist campaign since last fall, it sharply
increased the number of its attacks a few weeks ago
when the Sana government began trials of Adeni-
supported subversives.
The authorities in Sana appear determined
to pursue the trials, despite fears of
more retaliation from Aden and apprehen-
sions over their own Zack of military pre-
paredness. This weakness has encouraged
the Adenis, who are attempting to maneuver
Sana into rejecting the union. Sana would
thus bear the onus for such a move in the
eyes of other Arab states.

NOTE
Cambodia: Government forces on May 29 regained
control over the last contested section of Route 5,
some 50 miles northwest of Phnom Penh, ending the
Communists' two-month interdiction of the highway.
It may be some time before the road is opened to
traffic, however, because several bridges must be
repaired.
