# Secret5. Later I took Schleifer to his room, the home of Richard Gibsan. He was due to leave for Korocco on 9 January, but stayed over to get an interview with Ben Balla which was to be arranged, or *guaranteed* as he put it, by Boeglin. From there he is to go to the States. I asked him what he was doing here, and he replied just traveling. Boeglin hadto'i me he was a sociologist with a stug grant, but Schleifer denied he was a sociologist, volunteering nothing about a grant. He told me Gibson was staying in Algiers to put out a car paper called *Afrique Rovolution* which was to be a big, slick publication with many photos and a selling price which would enable it to replecs Jeans Afrique throughout Africa. When I asked about financing, he said the Algerian government was financing it heavily. He engrested we meet again 8 Jetssary so he could present me to Gibpon who was looking for a photographer, and suggested I could be that photographer at a nominal salary. I replied I would be interested more from the paint ofprestige and publicati on rather than salary since I was doing well in my prosent journalistic endeavor as far as salary went. I was kept from making the meeting, but I talked by phons with Gibson (who speaks Prench so badly he couldn't complete a eamtense on the phone) and the meeting is to be cat up on 10 Jarmary.6.

Claims Africue Revolution will be "absorbed" by Itias (probably both under same editorship. Roberto holder: phoned Josie Faion from Tunis, he will be in Rome Saturday, will send ticket and visa for Corso from there. I am to leave soon as possible.2. Louis Letti, about sixty years, 220 pounds, 5'2", white hair, blue eyes, French, worked in States several years in 1920's speaks English well, friend of most diplomats including Chinese, is accepted by Algerians as being anti-OAS in spirit. He claims the East German government wants full recognition by the Algerians, cited Bern Bell's attendance at national holiday of East Germans, though Scharfenberg is only Charve affairs. Gave me Chinese address as 35 Rue Luciani, El Biar, phone will have me to sure with East Germans whenever I wish.3. Talb Jarai, Hotel Aletti & the city. Jarai had difficulty with reporters of Republiquedisericadas in rare over "stupid communists". Arain claimed Irving Brown was CIA agent in front of a French radio speakerine.4. Dr. hajj daou, Jamal Misri, Braham Bouzar, at my home and at their homes. Nothing of interest at conversation.5. Fru BAZAR, police officer, plus two of his friends, at Roma. Nothing of interest except the three of them: very idealistic, insisting everyone must work to maximum for minimum pay in order build Algeria. Seems to be typical attitude among young Algerian.6. Zerati police comissioner, Les Pecineries for lunch. Extremely pro-American, talked of all his OIS friends from Morocco at Ben Buerir while he worked in Marrakech. He should be contacted by someone under official cover as being "sent by his old els friends" or some such ploy. He can be developed.7. Abdelkader Maxery (phonetic), Secret ry General of the Assembly, my home. Nothing of interest, but he is quite likeable and certainly of importance.

# Jacques Verges310 March 1964## Physical DetailsVerges is about 38 years old; about 5'5" tall and of medium build. He is fair colored, has a Chinese-looking face and wears spectacles. He has dark hair and dark eyes.## ParentageVerges was born in Reunion Island which is a French Protectorate. His father is a citizen of that Island and his mother was from Indo-China. He has at least one older brother. The father was a Member of the French Parliament representing Reunion Island. Now the brother Paul Verges, is a Member of Parliament from that Island.## Martial StatusVerges was married about 1946 but was divorced in about 1959. He has one son from this marriage. It is now heard that he has married again in about 1963 to Jamilia Bouirhead, the famous Algerian prisoner who was sentenced to death but was given a reprieve. He defended her during her trial.## Personal HabitsVerges was a prominent student in Paris and was from the very beginning a very good debater. He is a charming conversationalist and can keep any audience completely entrapped by his talk. He has been extremely popular with all groups and particular with females. He is very fond of eating well. He takes spicy food which would put even an Indian to shame. He drinks very little, works late hours, sleeps long in the mornings. He has an artistic temperament and food taste.## CareerIn about 1950 Verges started working in the International Union of Students in Prague. There he was Secretary of I.U.S. and later also of International Students' Relief which was formed more or less in his time. He remained there till 1954. After this he returned to Paris and studied to get his law degree. From about 1955 to 1962 he worked as a lawyer in France. As a lawyer he rose to prominence immediately. He was elected to the first Secretaryship of the French Young Lawyers' Body, which is a post of academic distinction. From the very beginning Verges started taking political cases of those who were accused in the various French colonies of "sedition". He was adopted by the F.L.N. of Algeria as the Chief of the Legal Defence Bureau in Paris. He conducted several famous trials including that of Jamila and at the same time carried on the campaign for Algerian independence in France and elsewhere.
[104-10217-10225.pdf — page 207]
some time he was in trouble at the hands of the political groups opposed to Algerian Independence. He was provided a guard outside his house and for a little while had even to leave France to live in Geneva because of fear for his life. Even in the legal defence that be conducted, the basis was entirely political. He was all this period subscribing to an extremist view which may be called ultra-revolutionary. For exemple, in his legal defence his theory was always to justify an act of killing by an accused on the ground that it was part of a war of Independence.Almost from the very beginning and in any case from 1951 Verges had serious difference with the French C.P. He considered them to be reformists and accused them of being cowardly in their support to the Algerian revolution. He was never a member thereof in this period and often worked against them.In 1962 he shifted to Rebel as Political Adviser to the King. He was very friendly with a Senior Minister, "Ahmad", and his post in Rabat was brought about by the Minister. However, it appears he did not continue long in this post and was back in Paris in 1963. Now he is the Chief Editor of a political monthly Journal called "Revolution". He is also reported to be the head of the China Lobby in Paris.## AcquaintanceThe writer met Verges in 1951 when he visited Delhi. In 1955 the writer stayed with Verges in Paris twice and twice again in 1958. The last time the writer saw Verges was in Paris in 1961. (In 1951 Verges was in Delhi in connection with an I.U.S. meeting. In 1955 the writer was in Paris on his way to and from Prague in connection with I.U.S. matters. In 1958 he visited Paris going to and from Stockholm for the Youth Festival Preparatory Committee meeting. And in 1961 the writer was in Paris to attend an I.A.D.L. Commission on Algeria.!Verges has always been very friendly and cordial with the writer and openly discusses his problems, views, activities, etc.

LCBEFORE reported on 17 January 1964 that Subjects, both of whcs are mentioned in reference dispatch concerning *Revolution Africaine* (GIBSON is a US citizen) and were working from that publication's Lausanne office, have left Switzerland at the request of the Swiss Uvernment. According to LCBEFORE, VEROES departed Svitserland on 25 November 1963 for Latin America casibly Brasi and GIBSON departed on 15 December 1963.2. LCBEFORE believes that in part it can take credit for these oxpulsions in view of the fact that LCBEFUS-inspirei publi- oity about *Revolution Africaine* has appeared in the 3wiss press and that this publicity helped to draw the matter to the Swiss authorities' attention, thus prcepting them to expe: these two propagandists.3.
