Moscow and Radio Cairo have
formed a trio with the Yemeni
transmittor to sing that popular
anti-colonial ditty. Push the
White Dogs into the Sea-" Also in
1858. Yemen entered into associ-
alton with the United Arab Re-
public Egypt and SYRIA to form
a new political entity called the
United Arab States.
These events transformed what
was once regarded as playful,
Kiplingesque skirmishing into
serious fighting with strategic
Arden as the stakes. Fighting was
relatively heavy from 1855 to 1858,
but slackened considerably in 1859.
Nobody expects this happy state
to last for long.
VoIIey Forge
Raj. Air Chief Marshal Sir
Hubert Patch, who commands
British forces in Alden and the
Persian Gulf, is faced with many
problems similar to those George
Washington encountered: the
forces at his disposal are diverse
in armament, length and terms Of
service, training and equipment,
many owing allegiance to different
masters.
The first line of resistance to the
Yemenis are the Tribal Guards,
a 1,3O0-man force of irregulars
who owe allegiance to individual
native chiefs who may or may not
place them at the disposal Of the
British. A picturesque body Of
men armed with an assortment of
firearms no two Of which seem
identical, whose uniform consists
for the most part Of an armband,
the Tribal Guards are enthusiastic
but undisciplined.
The Government Guards are a
better armed and more thoroughly
disciplined band of 1000 fighting
men who owe allegiance to the
newly created seven-state fedora
ton in the western part Of the
Alden Protectorate. The Govern
ment Guards are officered by
Britons and Arabs.
Still better troops are the Alden
Protectorate Levies, made up of
long-term professional soldiers,
commanded by British and Arab
officers and sergeants. The four
battalions Of Levies bear the brunt
Of the fighting. Stiffening these
are two reinforced British bat
talions, and supporting these are
Venom jet fighters, Shackleton
bombers and armored units.
Tough Fighters
The character of the men and OF
the country makes warfare a
gruelling task. The overriding
ambition Of every Arab boy is to

steal a rifle. The man without a
rifle is man unworthy of respect,

manly virtues, and to kill a man

PROPAGANDA HELPS
BY DON FRIFIELD
Contributing Writer

Western observers trying to un-
derstand or describe the Commu-
mist Chinese film industry are in
precisely the position Of the
famous blind men attempting to
portray an elephant that none
had ever seen. What is known
here of Red China's films is by
hearSay, and Red Chinese hear
say at that.
Since the Communists took over
the China mainland in l949, Pc
king has placed a special emphasis
on film production. In the Orient,
where the working day is long and
arduouS and where leisure is both
marginal and limited in things to
do, the motion picture is the after
hours piece de resistance Of almost
everyone. The dullest films COM
mand queues stretching for
blocks, a phenomenon one can
note everywhere from Tokyo
southland for that matter in the
non-cosmopolitan and otherwise
poorer areas of Europe and Latin
America as we'll.
In Communist China, the audi
ence for motion pictures is the
hard-working, exhausted masses,
80 per cent of them commune
dwelling rural folk, generally illit-
crate, predictably uncritical, glad
to be resting and watching a
movie-any movie.
In the cities, there is a pre-
sumably more sophisticated audi
ence. All in all, however, the
critical, discerning element of
movie-goers must be considered
an extreme and sagaciously in
articulate minority.
Hong Kong the Window
Hong Kong. the British colony
in the navel of the China main
land, affords the only good van
tage point for seeing occasional
films from Communist China. It
also is the seat of research for
discovering what the Communists
themselves reveal of their motion
picture industry. Special studies
have been undertaken by Euro
pean Jesuit priest. who prefers
anonymity, and the American
Consulate-General in the crown
colony. Thanks to their efforts,
we have a realistic idea of Red
Chlna'S movies again, it is
stressed, without having seen
more than a few of them.
The recent expansion of the
Chicom film industry can be best
expressed in statistics. From 1949
to 1857, I'll feature films were
produced-but in 1853 alone, 103
were produced, and it is probable
that 1859 figures will be equally
impressive. Similar production
leaps are evident in documentary
films. Of which 1.730 have been
made since 1949; in art films C52);
"scientific-e ducationap films
(292), and translated foreign films
(887).
These figures, from Communist
sources, are a tumble of mixed
criteria on what constitutes doc
umentary, art. etc, and moreover
do not reflect China-wide distri-
button, but rather total distribu-
ton in different regions. AS for
feature films, at least 43 of the
103 made u 1858 are really docu-
Evening star., 1960-02-28

mentaries with fictional sub
plots to add interest.
In 1949 there were three stu
dios: in Peking, Changchun, and
Shanghai. By 1852 the number
had risen to eighth. At the end
of 1857 there were 10 major stu
dios. The big push came in 1858,
when the number rose to 40. The
regime had come to consider
films absolutely essential as a
means of explaining" commu-
nism to China's $50 million peo-
pie. There were simply not enough
cadres, radio sets, and mountain
sides on which to affix the mes
sages and slogans that are used
to explain the new doctrines.
Films are used to supplement
study meetings" wherein all
workers and families are in
tended Ito increase their aware
ness of Communist principles
and the need for labor and self
sacrifice to achieve them.
Films Made in Color
Technologically speaking. Com
munist China became self-Sufh-
cient recently in the production
of motion picture projectors, ca
meras, wide-screen and sound
facilities, and color film process
ing. Of 35 films shown at a film
festival last fall to celebrate the
10th anniversary of the Commu-
mist conquest of the China main
land, all but three short films
were in color. Seventeen of them
were features, seven documen-
taries, seven educational" and
four were puppet films or ami
mated cartoons.
Subject matter of the films,
whatever their classification, re
fleets the theological problems of

is to earn the praise of your elders.
The sensitive border areas are
masses Of rocky mountains, steep
gorges and volcanic caves in which
a handful of men hold up a bat
talon for hours, then slip away
before they can be encircled.
Where we operate" conflded a
mustachioed British major, you
can go only on your two fiat feet;
against only moderate opposition,
you're lucky to make four miles
a day."
In addition to the difficult
natural features Of the terrain,
Arabian farmhouses are fortresses
built of stone with loopholes
rather than windows on the first
story. Against these the British
have flown rocket-strikes with jet
fighters. Although the Yemenis
are known to have planes said to
be piloted by soldiers of fortune
Of various nationalities including
Americans) there have been no
dog-fightS and most of the action
on the ground has been a matter
of attacks on fortified posts,
administrative centers and road
functions by Adeni dissidents
armed, paid and sometimes sup
ported by Yemeni troops. Casual
ties have been light.
But if the British have been
holding their own in the shooting
war, they have done less we'll in
the propaganda department. Al
though Radio Alden daily beams
8l2 hours of programs to its
listeners, its signal is frequently
iammed by the Yemen station
and Arabic broadcasts from Mos
COW and Cairo are popular. The
result has been a mushrooming
of. political parties within the
British colony.
Elections Held
Elections were first held in the
colony (but not in the IS pro-
tected states, which are basically
feudal in organization) in 1855
with l0,8l9 (46 per cent of the
electorate) voting. The Legisla-

Evening star., 1960-02-28

tive Council now has an elected
majority and is beginning to feel
It's oats. Parties include the Alden
Association which seeks !nde-
pendence within the Common
wealth.. the South Arabian
League, whose leader was exiled
last year and now operates out of
Cairo, which wants union of
Alden and Yemen under the
Imam, and the United National
Front, backed by the powerful
Alden Trade Union Congress,
which wants independence, unity
Of Yemen. Alden, Muscat and
Oman, and a social revolution to
GUST the Imam and other feudal
leaders and bring to power the
people"
Britain realizes that she cannot
stay forever in Southern Arabia
but she would dearly like to hand
over power to a friendly govern
ment which would allow her to
maintain the bases necessary to
protect her essential interests in
the oil-rich Persian Gulf. To this
end, she IS bucking up the native
rulers in the protectorate by
urging them TO federate, thus
creating a strong Gordon sani-
taire between Yemen and the
colony. In the colony itself, she
is slowly granting more repre-
sentative government and pouring
money into projects like the new
81 million, 500-bed Queen Eliza
beth Hospital and the SO million
port extension scheme.
BY no stretch of the imagina-
ton is Alden ready for independ-
ence. Her economy IS artificial
and precariouS, dependent wholly
on her port and bunkering facili-
ties, which are both mobile and
dependent upon political stability.
Only l per cent of the and IS
arabic. There are exactly three
Adeni doctors, one dentist and one
engineer IN training. Although
about sixty Adenis are studying
abroad on the university level,
only eight qualified for college ad-
mission in 1858.
Political Yen
Of all this the politicians who
sit in the deconsecrated church
which serves as the National AS
sembly are aware. They also are
aware for the first time. thanks
to radio, of their Arabism and Of
the compelling yen of their people
to take an active part in the af-
fairs Of the Arab world.
Fortunate is Britain that she
has no more appealing rival than
the Imam of Yemen. The per-
sonality of Ahmed and the char
acter Of his regime are such as to
cause the Adenis to think twice
before chucking out the British
preclpitously. But there are some
troubled days ahead for Alden.
At stake is the southern door
to the Red Sea, the gateway to
Africa and control of the skies
over the Persian Gulf.

PLAYED
IMPORTANT PART IN
THIS YEAR

MIR. and Mrs. Montana, in gen.
eral, enjoyed unusually pleasant
weather during October and No
vemGber this year but for the hun
ter it was a different story. Warm,
dry weather prevailed during the
opening hunting months and to
top it off, November was much
Windier than normal.
High ridges were blown bare of
snow so that deer and elk in
many areas remained on their
summer range throughout the
hunting season. In normal years,
by the end of the hunting season,
deer and elk r concentrated on
fail and winter ranges making
them much more visible and avail
able to the hunter.
"In spite of the poor hunting
conditions in some areas, Mon
tana spOrtSmen enjoyed one of
the highest success ratios in the
entire nation and the state will
still rank as one of the top big
game states in total harvest"
Fletcher Newby, state big game
manager, said.
Preliminary figures indicate
that central and eastern Montana
enjoyed excellent hunting with
harveStS about the same as last
year, however, the good weather
was not an obstacle TO good hunt
ing in these areas, NeWby report
ed.
HarveSts in the mountainous
areas were reduced most because
of the inaccessability of much of
the big game summer range. EARLY
figures suggest that hunter sue
cess varied greatly in different
parts of the western section of
the state. Deer harvests are ex-
pected to be substantially lower
than last year in some areas. Ex-
tended elk seasons helped to bring
up the total but it is doubted
that the elk harvest will equal
the record set last year, Newby
said.
Good weather, however, did
have its compensations this year
as it gives big game animals a
head start on winter. Winter
ranges in many areas have receiv-
ed little use as yet. UnharveSted
SURPRISES may still cause serious
range problems if the remainder
of the winter should turn out
unusually severe, Newby conclud-
ed.

Erom June to October of 1860. The
cumulative listing is compiled
from reports of 81 states and is

devoted to pollution-caused fish
kills.
The continuing national collec-
