40 Are Killed

Clash of Rebels
In Market Place
Worst in Months

ALGIERS. Algeria. Dec. 5 (P).
AT least 40 persons were killed
yesterday in a violent battle be-
tween Algerian nationalist and
French troops in the market
place of a little village near the
Tunisian border.
The rebels. mixing with the
midmorning market crowd.
opened fire on police and later
cut all telephone and telegraph
wires connecting the village Of
Lamy with the rest of Algeria.
It was the worst single Incl
dent in months in Algeria. where
assaSsinations and guerrilla war
fare have become common in the
past year.
Initial reports indicated 81 Al
gerians were killed in the market
place and nine more died when
troops opened fire on a bus that
refused to halt. The number of
police or soldiers lost was not
announced.
Armored Car Speeds In
After the fight started, a
French armored car sped to the
center of the market place to
Quell the disorder.
The village of Lamy is about
20 miles from the Mediterranean
coast and almost beside the Tu-
nissan frontier, in an area where
the French have long been
plagued by smuggling and gun
running.
Meanwhile, the resignation of
Moslem town councillors in Algiers
and six smaller cities was re-
ported. The designations came
in protest against what the
councillors termed "unprece-
denied repression" by the French.
In a joint statement, the Of
f1cials said "the only reply of
the French government to the
expression of the political aspira-
tons of the Algerian people has
been the establishment of an at
moSphere of veritable war"
Representation in the Algerian
Assembly and city councils is

French. The French population

steps to continue tight security
measures in Algeria despite the

WASHINCTON LETTER

WASHINGTON - The pro
jected visit of Konrad Adenauer,
Chancellor of the West German
Republic, serves to remind Wash
ington of many things.
Chancellor Adenauer, who will
be in this country to receive an
honorary doctorate from Har-
ward University on June is, will
spend a day here. II is announc-
ed that no big topics are planned
TO be discussed, but, with inter
national affairs developing the
way they are, it can be expected
that President Eisenhower and
Secretary of State Dulles will
have a number of things to take
up with the visitor.
The German Chancellor is no
stranger here. He was in this
country last October to receive
degrees from Columbia and
Georgetown universities, and he
travelled about a good deal in the
us. early in 1883
But this is the first time that
he comes here as the head of a
free and independent state and
the representative of full-fledg-
ed member of NATO. Added to
