CBeirut Rebel Leader

Stays Home 75 Days '

BrEhRUT' (ArP)——4Irn the Barsta Moslem quarter of Beirut is a man who has not left his house for 76 days. He is Saeb Salem, leader of the Beirut rebels fight- ing to bring down President Ca- mille C'hamoun.

Salem invited me to spend the night. To reach his house I had to leave my car three blocks away and walk past three sand- bagrged barricades.

At each point I was trished on der‘the eyes of guards holding machine guns. All streets leading Basta are barricaded. No one-goes in without rebel consent.

I found Sale-m at the radio lis- temug to Tuesday’s speech by President Nrasser in Cairo. _

From this house Salam presides a miniature government of several committees.

persons a day.

After Nvasser’s speech a whole crowd trooped into the long cor- ridor and sat down for dinner.

A bomb explosion shattered the night stillness but did not int-er- rupt the table conversation. No one commented; explosions are not news in Basta.

After dinner, a barber came to give Salem a haircut and Sela-m listened to radio reports on the United Nations discussions of Le- banon. .

“That Russia-n amendment couldn’t possibly pass,” Salem said, almost to himself. “They made it too strong by branding America an aggressor."

I asked about the prospects of a settlement of the Lebanese crisis. , . ‘

“The big issue here now is the evacuation-of American troops, not the election of a new pres- ident,” Sal-am said. "‘But I hope they bev withdrawn coon.

I mentioned that he was quoted recently as saying he Would ask for Soviet volunteers if American troops attacked his area. '

Underlying Getting Most Attention

By LLOYD McDONALD Canadian Press Staff Writer

The underlying problems of the Middle East as projected by the latest crisis there are getting more attention at the United Nra- lions, than the red tape questions involving a UN summit confer- ence inside the United Nations.

With Soviet Premier Khrush- chev’s announcement that he is willing to come to UN headquart- ers Monday for a top-level meet- ing, the procedural Worries over a framework for the meeting of heads of government become sec- ondary. It is felt that no formal drawbacks to a gathering of world leaders would be allowed to delay it for one minute.

At the same time, the Middle East situation as it stands now has given rise to privately spoken opinions among neutralist dele- gates whichcontrast sharply with the stated views in the official setting of the UN Security Oourn~ cil sessions of the last week. DAG’S F”FORTS

These sessions now have been suspended to clear the way for summit talk-s, since the council meetings resulted in a formal dri- vision between Russia and the other 10 members of that peace- keeping organ which blocked fur- ther official authorization for the UN to extend its observer group in Mbavnon.

This block is not as serious as it appears from the negative vot- ing position in the Security Coun- cil, however. Secretary - General Dag Hammarskjoll is working outside the political arena to bol- ster the UN observers perhaps even to the extent of posting armed forces under the UN flag to take over from United States and British troops now in Leb- anon and Jordan.

The secretaryageneral thus is virtually ignoring the council

ority of his office to provide ac- ceptable action which would give the American and British govern- ments the opportunity to pull their forces out—their places to be taken by an international body —rwithout appearing to retreat. STATES IN DECLINE

The private opinions mentioned earlier generally follow the line that the U.S. and Britain acted

ent Lebanese and Jordanian governments when. neighboring Iraq’s pro—Western regime was overthrown July 14 by an Arab nationalist revolutionary move- ment.

The big Western powers had to make an overt step to reassure their friends in the Middle East. But the feeling is growing that the friends of the West in that boiling area are the representa- tives of a declining state of at- fairs. _

WEST SHOULD ACCEPT

Since Egypt’s President Nasser emerged in 1956 as the champion of a new wave! of Islamic n-a- tion-alism, there has been a war - ing of Western influence in the Middle East except in.l’rsrae1—-a state whose establishment after the Second World War was re- garded as anathema by the

Arabs. And Britain and the U.S. have

thus been accused of supporting to g i m e s unacceptable to the

masses of their own peopl which has given Russia its best propaganda plum in Moscow’s ef- forts to Spread the gospel of com- munism throughout the world.

One view now expressed at the UN is that it is inevitable that the Jordan and Lebanese regimes will succumb to the nationalist pressure eventually, even though they now are backed by British and American bayonets.

But why shouldn't the West ac— cept this if Western interests are

protected and there is no out-

break of atrocities such as occur- red at the outset of the Iraqi re- volt resulting in the deaths of King Faisal and his prime min ister, ask neutral sources. POOR FRIENDS

Iraq now is in apparent stabil- ity and the new government has assured Britain d the U.S. that it will not interfere with the West- ern-owned oil establishments in that country. Jordah and Leb- anon have virtually no oil and represent only a political Western field of influence. ~

So, say the neutralists, let the U.S. and Britain step'aside and let nationalism take its course. Russia hasn’t taken any active steps beyond benevolent support for Nasser, so let the West move their armaments out and have the UN take over as a token force against disorder.

Some kind of bigpower agree- ment along this line is what a substantial body of opinion at the UN is hoping for us 'a result of the summit conference.
