OBSERVERS IN YEMEN
U.S.S.R. Seeks Debate
(N.Z. Press Assn.— Copyright) NEW YORK June 8.
At the request of the Soviet Union, the United Nations Security Council has been called to meet on Monday to discuss a proposal by the Secretary-General, U Thant, to send United Nations observers to Yemen. The Soviet Union has contended privately that U Thant needs authority from the
council before he can send observers to Yemen.
U Thant has proposed to send 197 observers there to police an agreement by which Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Republic are to withdraw from the Yemeni civil war.
The agreement calls for Saudi Arabia to cease aid to the Yemeni royalists, and the U.A.R. to withdraw an estimated 23,000 troops helping the Yemeni Republic. U Thant told the Security Council in April he proposed tn send observers to man a 25-mile zone on the SaudiYemeni frontier and travel through Yemen to see the agreement is kept.
