A Feeling of Distrust in u. S.

German is not taken out Of
some columns or editorials
from American newspapers.
It stems from listening to
what is described as "respon-
sible American political
leaders"
Since Congress adjourned,
the loquacious political twins,
Senators Fulbright and Hum
phrey, have invaded Europe
as fact finders. They took
the occasion to treat the
harassed Europeans to their
views on the international
situation.
The Democratic whip, Sen
ator Humphrey, talked in
Rome with his usual verbos-
ity and stated his view that
a de facto recognition Of the
Pankow government and the
recognition Of the Oder
NieSSe line as a permanent
German-Polish border would
offer a useful basis for nego-
tiation on an agreement with
Khrushchev.
There was a mild furry of
excitement in the Italian
press. Whereupon, Senator
Humphrey called a press con-
ference and said that he had
spoken off the record and had
been miSquoted. Anyhow, he
added, he was speaking as a
private citizen. Nobody
bought" this retraction.
In London, Senator Full
bright stated to the amaze
ment of all continentals that
America and Britain had
their share in the Berlin
crisis and added for good
measure that in his opinion
Germany should not be pro-
vided with atomic arms if
that would block an East
West accord. The NATO su-
preme commander, Gen.
LauriS Norsted, had urged,
with the approval of the
NATO Council, that modern
weapons with atomic heads
Tin our custody should be
provided for the German di-
visions of the NATO forces.
Senator Fulbright'S state
ment had the effect on the
Germans Of an icy shower
on a winter morning. It
confirmed the suspicious
famed by Communist propa-
ganda that Germans are still
considered In America as
secondary citizens" Of
NATO. Senator Fulbright's
speech Is likely to increase
the feeling that America
is about to sell us down the
river" which Is beginning to
prevail in Western Europe.

Balk at Question
Mr.. Dichter declined to tell

fear that a reply would open
him up to further questions
that might prejudice his appeal

Bernard w. Stern, the mine
unions research director, said
he has not been a Communist

ROME, Oct. IA (AP).-A
spokesman for Crown Prince
Saif AL Islam Badr of Yemen
said today reports that the
Imam Of the Red Sea kingdom
had abdicated in favor Of his
son we're due to a misunder-
standing.
The aged Imam King
Ahmed yesterday in a radio
speech from San'a. capital of
Yemen, called on his subjects
to give their Crown Prince
their loyalty and support as
always"
This apparently was mis-
understood or misinterpreted
outside the country as indicat-
ing that the Imam was turning
the throne over to his son." a
spokesman for the Prince said.
The Crown Prince is in Rome
for treatment of an ear all
ment. An aide said he intends
to remain here until the treat
ments have been completed and
does not expect to return to
Yemen for some time.
His father has been ailing for
some time but he has ruled his
backward nation of As million
tribeSmen on the lower Arabian
Peninsula with a tight fist.
Yemen has been seething
with political intrigue in recent
years and the Imam has sur
vived numerous plots and
assassination attempts.
The Imam's deputy in Cairo
Prince Ell Hassan Ibn Ally, also
denied the reports that the
King was turning over power
to his eldest son.
Just yesterday the Imam
cabled me instruction and there
was nothing to indicate he was
Indicating" the Prince said.
First reports on the Yemen
abdication broadcast came from
the neighboring British colony
protectorate Of Alden. Radio
Moscow beamed a similar
report.
