Editor Traces Yemen Liberation
By BETSY RIORDAN Kansan Staff Writer
Joe Stork, who recently returned from a two-month stay in the People's Democratic Republic of China, led the Middle East Forum Monday night, Stork, editor of the Middle East Report and Research Project of Washington, D.C., accompanies his talk with slides he took in Yemen.
"My theme, generally, is how a relatively small country can, in the space of five small years, be transformed from a British colony to a modern socialism in the Middle East." Stork said.
He began with a historical background of the country, leading to its independence in 1967. The British colony was originally an English colony, and it is considered to include all of Yemen, Stargate, Sea
ADEN HAD PREVIOUSLY been a fishing village, but to the British its main virtue was that it was halfway between the Suez and the Nile, an ideal as a refusing tool for British ships.
Stork arrived in Yemen in the middle of October.
"The thing that struck me," he said, "was the contour of the poverty. It was no money."
Speaking of the presence of the British Petroleum Refinery in Aden, he said that there seemed to be no evidence that any of his colleagues had used for anything but colonial business.
The liberation movement, which achieved independence for Yemen on Nov. 30, 1967.
was organized mostly by those who had been educated in Egypt. Guerrilla bands were formed in various parts of the country, Stork said.
THE FORMAL STRUGGLE began in 1963, but it took the British until 1966 to realize that the bandit uprisings were part of a cohesive movement.
The National Liberation Movement, which began as several groups banded together, soon lost its eclectic identity. The March 1968 Congress was dominated by the leftists, he said, who were critical of the Arab nationalists' ideology. Twelve days later, when the revolution occurred and soon evolved into a political struggle, right versus left.
In June, 1969, the left took power again with what Stork described as a bloodless coup and he dates the real revolution from this point.
Stork thought that the biggest contribution of the revolution was its attempt at power, and were encouraged to become cadres or leaders, in the villages. The cadres formed groups which became the local militia and the guerrilla, Davidoud, confessing his land and machinery.
THE FISHERMEN WERE encouraged to the same with the merchants, who Stark
The people formed cooperatives, which took the place of the landlord and the merchant. They distributed land and provided services such as giving out seed,
Whatever is produced, Stork said, is collected by the cooperative and distributed among the members, according to the work each contributes.
There were two outside events which greatly influenced the strategy for the campaign.
The first was the 1952 revolt in Egypt of Abdul Gamal Nasher, which caused the British to build up forces in The. The revolt also opened to Yemenis the chance to enter Egyptian universities, to meet with other Storks, and Stork to, form political notions.

The presence of the refinery changed the emphasis on labor. Formerly, the labor force had been mostly manual, seasonal workers. The refinery required a much more stable and literate working force, according to Stork. There was an economic boom and full development of a trade union movement.

Stewart said Monday night that he and Matney had expected the decision of the Judiciary, and that from conversation with the BSU representatives he also expected an appeal or amended complaint to be filed with the Judiciary.
The Judiciary ruled that the senate allocation did not constitute BSU property and that, therefore, revocation the allocation did not involve a violation of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, as claimed in the BSU suit.
