Senate Beats 2 Moves
To Probe Gas Funds
Foes Hoping
To Alter Bill;
Vote Is Near
BY J. A. O'LEARY

Two efforts to launch an in
Ivestigation into any funds that
may have been spent to influence
the fate of the natural gas bill
were blocked for the time being
in the Senate today.
After wrangling from 10 am.
until noon over the scope of the
investigation. the Senate got
down to the closing round of de-
bate on the bill itself, with lead
Iers still hoping to dispose Of it
tonight.
If they succeed the investigat-
ing resolutions will be taken up
again tomorrow.
Senate Democratic Leader
johnson of Texas and Republic
can Leader Knowland of Cali
Ifornia joined in Offering the first
resolution, which would have
confined the investigation by .
special committee to the charge
lot Senator Case. Republican Of
South Dakota. that man inter-
Iested in passage of the gas bill
tried to contribute $4,000 in cash
to his campaign for reelection.
LANCER Spikes Attempt
It required unanimous consent
to take UP any resolution this
morning and Senator LANCER.
Republican of North Dakota, OBJ
jected, demanding to know why
a special committee was being
proposed when the Senate has
a regular subcommittee on elec-
tions.
| Senator Hennings, Democrat
of Missouri, tried without sue
cess to broaden the leadership
resolution to have the investiga-
Ition cover any money that may
have been spent either Tor or
against the gas bill.
Later he offered his broad
proposal as a separate resolu-
ton. but. this also was blocked
by several Senators.
| Voting on amendments to the
gas bill is expected to start this,
Afternoon, with Democratic and
Republican leaders still predict
ling they have a majority to pass
the bill, despite the Juror Gre
Iated over the week end by the
Case incident.
Hennings Move Fails
| Acting as an opponent of the
measure, Senator HenningS also
had tried to have the gas bill
sidetracked pending the OUT
come of his broad investigation,
but this move failed when his
resolution was objected to.

gas, are plnnlng their hopes on

! Even hackers of the bill admit
adoption OF any substantial
amendment might block final
enactment. because the bill
would then have to go back TO
the House, which it passed last
year by the narrow margin of
209-203.
In appealing to the Senate not
to postpone a decision on the gas
bill because of the investigating
proposals, Senator johnson de-
clared that any Senator who
yielded to fear by avoiding ex-
pressing his convictions on the
merit of the bill would be yield
ing to an improper influence.
Senator Hennings also pleaded
for early passage of his bill for

ALGIERS, Algeria. Feb. 6 up.
troops and police re-
strained an angry throng of
with tear gas and
clubs today as the crowd greeted
French Premier Guy Mollet with
a parrage of tomatoes and
oranges.
At the same time. Mr.. Mollet
announced the resignation Of his
resident minister in Algeria. Gen.
Georges Catroux. the man most
of the bitterness is aimed at.
An announcement of his resig-
nation apparently was intended
as an olive branch extended to
the angry French colonists.
Gen Catroux had been ex-
pected to take up his post Friday.
He mad been under fire from the
FIRST because OF his part IN the
negotiations which granted much
initial freedom to Morocco.
Kissed and Booed
Mr.. Mollet, on a mission to
restrain hostile French sentiment
ana nationalist violence in Al
geria, was booed and Kissed as
he rode from the airport to the
Algiers war monument, where
police neld back a surglng, yell
ing crowd as he placed a wreath.
The crowd trampled the wreath
to bits after the ceremony.
The crowd refused to disperse
when Mr.. Mollet was hurried TO
his temporary residence at the
PalaiS d'Ete tsummer palacel
1t followed him there, hurting
fruit and vegetables at the build
ing and pelting police with crude
explosives stuffed in tin cans
The police held them back with
tear gas.
Mounted Spahis, helmeted riot
police and security guards formed
a tight Gordon around the resi-
dence after a clash with part
OF the crowd--mostly students
who broke into the garden.
In announcing Gen. Catroux's
resignation. Mr.. Mollet said:
las soon as he tCatroux,
learned OF the demonstrations
today in Algiers, particularly
when he was convinced that his
name could become an issue OF
discord among his former war
comrades, Gen. Catroux asked
me to accept his resignation.
Anxious not to accentuate
the quarrel with already divided
Algeria, 1 accept this resigna-
ton. but ! want to pay tribute
to this great soldier for this new
proof OF self sacrifice and
patriotism.
Stays Eve Minutes
Mr.. Mollet drove to the
Alglers war memorial directly
from the airport after he landed
and remained there only about
five minutes as the vast crowd
oooed. jeered and sang the
MarSeillaise.
Mr.. Mollet drove to the square
IN a tri-color decorated car which
was pelted by tomatoes, mats
and jeers. There were a few real
flowers thrown in his path, how
ever.
Most shops in the central busi-
ness sector closed down as a sign
OF protest. One tobacco shop
keeper who remained open was
threatened by an angry crowd OF
French residents. Police dis
persed the crowd and the shop
owner decided to close up.
Worried parents kept their
children from school.
The Rebels, who have kept
100000 French troops tied up,
were expected to continue their
pressure during Mr.. Mollet's visit
