Stevenson Fears
Algerian SeIf-RuIe

BONN. Germany, July ~ tP).
-Adlai E. Stevenson said to-
day Algerian independence at
this time would be ian invita-
ton to chaos"
But. the two-time United
States candidate for President
said. with tranquility restored,
I believe the French will ad-
vance proposals which will
recognize the reasonable as
pirations Of the Arabs for self
government and for economic
progress"
Mr.. Stevenson made these
observations at a news confer

have fully faced the realities of
Algeria in the past but I am
sure that they are doing SO
more and more now"
