OMAN Troops,
Loyal Tribes
.Entrap Rebels

MANAAiA. Bahrein, July 20
(R. = An Omani communicate
said today troops of the Sultan
of Muscat and Oman and loyal
tribesmen are closing in on
Oman rebels.
The communique. issued in
MuScat by a spokesman for
Sultan Said Bin Taimur. was
released here by a British
Foreign Office spokesman. 1t
said:
Some tribes are now NOV
ing with the support of the
Sultan's forces to surround the
rebels in mountain places in
Central Oman.
Political and military action
is now in preparation and will
have rapid results which will
bring the whole affair to an
end
The rebels hold an area
roughly rs by Is miles and it
has been described as almost
entirely rugged mountains.
The rebels. led by Imam
Ghaleb Bin Ali, who recently
returned from Saudi Arabia,
began the revolt IL days ago
in an attempt to set up an
independent Sultanate in Oman.
British officials and the Sultan
have accused Saudi Arabia OF
giving the rebels modern mill
tary weapons.
British planes continued to
drop leaflets over the rebel
held area calling on the tribes
to turn out traitors.
Today's communiQue was the
first official indication that the
Sultan's forces have taken the
offensive against the rebels
These forces were defeated or
the opening day of the revolt
and forced to withdraw.
The chief British political
officer for the Persian Gull
area said earlier the rebels had
lost their momentum and were
bottled up in an area centered
on Nizwa.
Sir Bernard Burrows said
the rebels are down to about
200 men plus one large tribe
in the most inaccessible part
of the rugged Oman Mountains
Sir Bernard warned. however
against optimism that the re-
bellion is about over.
Imam Ghaleb Bin Ali said
victory for his forces will come
first from God and second from
Arab aid"
The Imam answered ques-
lions of the Associated Press by
cable from an undisclosed To-
cation. His representative in
Cairo, Mohammed Ell Harsy
said the Imam is reported in
Nizwa, ancient capital of Oman
at the southeast end of the
Arabian Peninsula.
In his cabled answers, the
Imam said he would accept out
side Arab aid If British attacks
continue. He stressed that aic
must be from Arab sources, ap.
parently excluding possible helr
from a major power.

citizens feared they were in the
midst Of a major disaster that
would bring a huge casualty
toll.
The city was plunged into
darkness. Fire engines and am
oulances screamed through the
rubble-strewn streets. Com
munications with the shock
areas west of the city were cut
of and the gilded symbol of
Mexican independence = a
winged angel-craShed down
from its l55-foot base.
The national seismographic
observatory rated the shock in
Mexico City at seven on the
Mercali scale of 10. The nee
dies went of the dials in re-
cording the areas between this
ancient volcanic NDne and the
Pacific Ocean. T1tey indicated
the resort town Of Acapulco,
2l5 miles south of the capital,
had borne the brunt of the
shock.
No one could recall when SO
severe a quake had struck this
sprawling metropolis. On the
basis of the seismographs, Mex
leo City should have been in
ruins and Acapulco almost
totally destroyed.
Hour Restricts Casualties
Loss of life in Mexico City
was limited because of the
hour. Had it been in the
early evening, hundreds would
probably have been crushed IN
the damned movie theaters and
night spots. BY day, falling
masonry and splintered glass
would have injured thousands
along the streets.
Acapulco's damned tourist
hotels largely escaped heavy
damage. but the tropical boule-
wards and twisting streets were
Uttered with glass and mortar
Chilpancingo. a town of
5000, suffred the worst blow
outside Mexico City. Half its
homes were damaged. many OF
them beyond repair. One OF
the State capitals leading no
tells fell apart. Its proprietor
died in the ruins.
Nerves Of foreign visitors
suffered considerably. Mexico
City's Paseo de Reforma was
crowded in the chill dawn with
hotel evacuees shivering in
their night clothes.
Hilton Service Restored
In the new 81 million. 400
room Continental Hilton Hotel,
guests trapped behind damned
doors in the plush building
yelled for help. The lights
went out, the plumbing failed.

Many Extra Benefits
Available to President

Motors products and four
Chrysler Corp. vehicles.
Most of these are not used
by the President personally.
The feet includes trucks and
Mercury Sedans for transport
of White House staff officers.
Three cars are used custom
arily by the President himself.
a "bubbletop" Lincoln. a Cad
lilac limousine and a Chrysler
Imperial with a sliding roof.
Mrs. Eisenhower prefers a
second 1853 ChrySler imperial
for her use and when Mr.. Eli
senhower rides with her. they
go in the 1853 model. Mrs. John
S. Doud, Mamie's mother. uses
a third four-door Imperial
sedan.
When the President moves
about the country by plane,
one or more of these cars is
apt to follow him.
Last year the Lincoln bubble
top" was driven across the
country by Secret Service men
and was waiting at the San
Francisco airport when Mr.. Eli
senhower landed for the Re-
publican convention.
Last fall the slide-roof I'M
perial turned up in Philadel-
phia. 1t also had been driven
to Thomasville, Ga. where the
President vacationed at Treas
ury Secretary George M. Hum
phrey's quail estate.
Yacht Was Beached
Mr.. Eisenhower cut back
presidential travel accessories
somewhat by Bleaching the
yacht Williamsburg. which
Harry Truman enjoyed.
However, to replace it, the
Navy QUILTED a de luxe cabin
cruiser for President Eisenhow-
er and named her the Barbara
Anne" after his g. year old
granddaughter. 1t is locked at
the Naval Gun Factory here.
The President has used it but
once.
He also has the private rail-
road car. the Magellan" but
has hardly used it since taking
office. He prefers the air.
Although the President has
a travel and entertainment"
allowance of $4,000 year,
the flight bill for the planes
and the gas. oil and upkeep Of
the cars does not come out of
the travel allowance. This is
used to pay his hotel bills, meals
and other incidentals.
(Mr. Eisenhower also receives
$4,000 for personal expenses,
in addition to his $l00,000-a-
year salary0
Since a President hasn't
much occasion to spend money
while travelling, Mr.. Eisenhower
actually never uses much for
travel and other White House
employees travel is charged
against the presidential ac-
count.
Entertainment Costs
He does. however. do about
$4,000 worth of official enter
tanning a year. the White
House says. This comes out
of the $4,000 expense fund.
The President makes the de-
cision as to what is official and
what is not. For instance. he
paid for the recent five break
fastS for Republican congress-
men out OF his own pocket.
Campaign times and politi-
cal rallies are also different.
When the President uses the
Columbine for such a trip as
that to the Republican con-
IGNITION, the Republican Ma
tional Committee pays the
Treasury the normal charter
fare for the aircraft.
