Crisis in Aden-Yemen Relations
jtelations between Yemen and Aden have deteriorated dur-
ing the past few days because of increased subversive activities
by antiregime Yemenis whose leaders have been given refuge in
the British-controlled Aden Protectorates. On 12 June the homes
of three Yemeni Government officials, including the head of inter-
nal security, in Taiz were bombed. These bombings followed
others in several parts of Yemen during the past two weeks. Lead-
ers of the Free Yemeni Movement, which aims at abolishing the
Imam's rule and whose headquarters are in Cairo and Aden, are
claiming credit for the incidents. Yemeni officials have captured
one man sent from the protectorates with orders to carry out fur-
ther bombings, cut telephone lines, and otherwise disturb the
peace.
High Yemini officials believe that British officials and the
Sultan of Lahej are involved in these subversive actions, as well
as the UAR, The Yemeni Government probably would be molli-
fied by the deportation of the Free Yemeni leaders from Aden.
While British officialdom may not be directly involved in Free
Yemeni activities, its willingness to condone them has caused a
setback in the gradual improvement of Anglo-Yemeni relations
which has taken place during the past year.
The Imam, has ordered that
political refugees from Aden be prevented from carrying out sub-
versive activities in the protectorates. The Imam is being urged
by one adviser to ask the governor of Aden to meet with him to
reach an agreement, Increased Free Yemeni subversive activ-
ities are probably related to a long-drawn-out tribal rebellion by
the Khawlan tribe located east of Sana which has recently been
crushed by the Imam's forces. The presence of nearly 300 pris-
oners from the tribe in the Imam's dungeons has led to a "dan-
gerous shortage of shad les,"
__Pro-Western Yemeni officials fear that the Free Yemeni ac-
tivities combined with the efforts of Yemeni anti-Western elements

will jeopardize the US aid program in Yemen, which is just get-
ting under way. The current tension will assist a current Soviet
camnaian in Yemen to discredit the US.

Castro Now Prepared for Early Seizure of Western Refineries
Fidel Castro now sees no obstacle to the early seizure of
three large Western oil refineries in Cuba,
On 6 June the one British and two US-
owned companies simultaneously refused the Castro govern-
ment's order to process Soviet crude oil being received in ex-
change for sugar under the Cuban-Soviet trade agreement.
Arrangements evidently are being made with Aristotle
Onassis, owner of some of the world's largest tankers, to sup-
ply Cuba's internal POL needs of about 60,000 barrels per, day.
The petroleum would almost certainly come from the USSR.
Castro has been in touch with Onassis.
The refineries normally import about 75,000 barrels per
day from Venezuela�some to be processed for export�and
the Venezuelan minister of mines was quoted on 17 June as
saying that if Cuba reduced these purchases it could not count
on access to Venezuelan crude oil in the future.
The Castro regime continues its pressures on other
American companies also. In addition to those being brought
to bear on the International Harvester Company by the Cuban
National Bank, the National Agrarian Reform Institute has
asked the company to train mechanics to assemble tractors
being imported from the USSR and Czechoslovakia,
refusal to comply would result in
seizure and hopes that other tractor distributors will also re-
fuse.
On 16 June Castro reiterated to restaurant and hotel
workers that the recent seizure of American-operated luxury
hotels was necessitated by US efforts to sabotage Cuba's
tourist industry. He promised that the hotels would be put
on a paying basis for the benefit of the workers and Cuba,

but did not explain how this is to be done. Efforts to attract
tourists from the rest of Latin America have not been any
more successful than similar efforts in the US. Cuban offi-
cial and quasi-official groups are evidently paying most of
the expenses for Latin Americans and others brought to Cuba
to see the "true benefits" of the revolution.
Cuban agrarian reform institute director Antonio Nunez
Jimenez told TASS on 17 June that Castro will visit Moscow
at an unspecified date. Nunez was also quoted by TASS as
hoping Khrushchev's intended visit to Cuba might come on 26
July. anniversary date of Castro's revolutionary movement.
