British troops searching for ter- rorists who have killed two score residents and wounded 250 more in pistol, bazooka and grenade attacks. : Huddles beneath the jagges} mountains of South Arabia, Aden is Britain's only colony in the Middle East. Its volcanic' cliffs and scenec beaches sur- round a major military base. A century and a quarter of colonial rule began when a sin- gle ship of the East India Co. took over a wasteland of rock and desert. Britain is determined to give Aden independence by 1968. The} plan is to merge Aden with 16 sultanates that sprawl from here) to the frontiers of the Yemen, | creating a South Arabian state.' OPPOSE PLAN | Aden's political leaders, sup- ported by President Nasser of Egypt, oppose Britain's terms terrorists demand immediate in-| dependence and the removal of| the base. | Faced with politicians' refusal te co-operate, Britain last month took full control of the colony. It fired the government of chief minister Abdel Qawi Mackawee after he suggested the terrorist National Liberation Front be ac- cepted as a legitimate political party.

They urge the short cut to. independence recommended by the United Na- tions in 1963--elections through-| out southern Arabia under UN| supervision, the withdrawal of) the British base and the lifting to follow the UN resolution, maintaining the base issue can- not te dieeneced under terror-) ist pressure. One trump held by the fed- eration is that it has an army with five battalions of tough British - trained troops, while Aden has none. While some vis- ualize the army simply taking over Aden after the British have left, this could prompt Aden to call on Egypt for help or push it into declaring itself part of Yemen--a move which some po- litical parties already favor. ---- SALISBURY (AP)--"Most of the whites in the former British north of here were of emergency reg i They calculate the back-coun- try sultans, who rule through traditional tribal power, would be voted down in elections, mak- ing the more sophisticated town dwellers of Aden a ruling power in the federation instead of just its 17th state. The tribal rulers who make} up the federation's present gov-| ernment have agreed to hold elections but consider any UN supervision an affront. Realizing the presence of British troops guarantees their feudal powers, they contend that a decision on the future of the military base can be discussed only after in-|i dependence. REFUSED UN MOTION Britain has had treaties of protection with the sultans since the last century. It has sup- ported their stand and refused 'Pommies (English) who came to the country to make a lot of money and eventually go home.

If referred to as an English- man, he snaps angrily: "I'm a Rhodesian now, and I'm staying one." Successive attempis to gain dependence for Rhosesia un- der white governments, each one rebuffed, have developed a fervent national pride in the Rhodesians. The present government, country in the path of white domination crisis of whether or not it will bolt from Britain. HAS GREAT SUPPORT So great is the support for Smith's ruling Rhodesia Front party that it won all 50 parlia- mentary seats in the last elec- tion. Phadecian ~ born Smith once said: "No African rule in my life- time. The white man is master of Rhodesia, has built it up and intends to keep it." Rhodesia, a landlocked British colony in southern Africa, inter- is one of the last bastions of white colonialism. There are 250,000 whites and 3,800,000 Negroes. The original white administra- tion, beginning late last century, was by the British South Africa Company which was largely concerned with gold mining and In 1922 voters were offered the choice of becoming South Af- rica's fifii province, but chose instead to become an internally self-governing colony. For the white man, Rhodesia provides a life of good and easy living. Negro labor is cheap and usu- ally fills al! unskilled jobs. The garbage man, the gasoline at- tendant, the ditchdigger, the ho- tel porter--all are Negroes. MOST HAVE SERVANTS Most white homes have a Ne- gro servant, sometimes two or three. The white man has a skilled or semi-skilled job which usually brings him in more money than he could expect in England, Or he may be a farmer who has all his manual work done by Negroes. He owns a car and his wife headed by lan Smith, icy-cool former fighter pilot, leads the possibly has one nally self-governing since 1922,\3 He fears that if he allows the Negro to take over the govern- ment of the country, by virtue of his overwhelmingly greater numbers, he will lose most of this. He sees a steady stream southward of disgruntled whites who could not take life under black government in one of his northern neighbors, perhaps Zambia or Kenya, and decides) he won't let this happen to nim. Official figures of average earnings show how well off the' white man.is in relation to the Negro. In 1964 the Negro earned an average of $338 while 'other races" earned an average of 475. The feeling of Rhodesia's Ne- independence are more difficult to learn than those of the whites. TWO GROUPS BANNED The two main political organi- zations representing nationalist- minded Negroes are banned. Their leaders are restricted to remote regions. of the country and it-is an offence to publish anything from them or their or- ganizations. Thesc leaders are Joshua Nki- omo, of the Zimbabwe African Peoples Union, and Ndabaningi Sithole, of the Zimbabwe Afri- can National Union.

De Gaulle said Sept. 9 he would announce within two months whether he would be a candidate for a new seven-year term. Paris newspapers speculate that de Gaulle may make the announcement Oct. 25.
