Paris StrengthensP Power
To Stamp Out Rebellion

PARIS. July 20 (P.-Premier
Maurice Bourges-Maunoury has
won a free hand in Algeria and
wider police powers at home to
stamp out rebellion and terror
istic violence.
The National Assembly yes
terday Endorsed the Premier's
special powers bill by the sur
prising margin of $50 to 1888,
on a formal vote of confidence
in his cabinet and its program.
The measure now goes to the
upper house, the Council of the
Republic. where little opposi-
ton is expected.
The ballot was the last ma
jor hurdle to Parliament's sum-
mer recess, and virtually as
sured Mr.. Bourges-Maunoury
Of remaining in power until
fall. The Assembly followed UP
its confidence vote with a de-
cision to go on holiday at the
end of next week.
Wide Powers Allowed
The Assembly's decision gives
the government the almost un-
precedented power to establish
peacetime interpment camps In
France to confine Algerian reb-
els arrested in France.
The Assembly reversed its de-
cisions of Thursday when II
loaded the bill with so many
amendments that the Premier
was forced to demand a second
reading as an issue Of conf
dence to push his own proposals
through.
On the ballot. the right -of-
center Independent Republic
cans and the slightly left-of-
center Popular Republicans
Joined the parties represented in
the government-Socialists and
Radical-Socialists (moderates)

Mendes-France and a handful
Of others.
A key clause of the bill sets
up several exceptions to the nor
NAL French criminal code to
permit police action against
threats to the security of the
state.
Longer terms of detention are
permitted for certain types of
crime such as illegal possession
OF firearms. extortion, collect
ing funds for outlawed organi-
cations or propaganda for
rebels.
Police are allowed to hold a
person under preventive ar
rest" for 81 days. Normally, the
limit Of detention is five days.
They would also be allowed
to make house searches and
arrests at night. Normally DO
lice cannot carry out searches
at night.
The section applying to Al
geria simply renewed powers
originally granted Is months
ago to the Guy Mollet cabinet.
There was little opposition to
this part Of the bill.
Civil Rights Argument
But the opposition protested
the other parts would under
mine respect for civil rights in
France and open the door to
fascist" rule. The Premier as
serted that police need more
leeway to cope with a tide Of
gangland-type violence among
some 10000 Algerians living
and working in France.
Mr.. Bourges-Maunoury as
serted rebel agitators we're
preying on Algerian workmen
and extorting funds for the re-
volt. This. in turn, affected
about two million Algerians
living in poverty amid the
rocky hills Of Algeria with the
aid Of remittances received
from relatives in France.

Igloos Will Dot US. Landscape In Atomic Age
By FRANK CAREY

PHILADELPHIA, R-Glorified Eskimo igloos will dot the Ameri- can landscape as protective en- closures for possible runaway atomic power plants, a key atomic scientist said Monday.
 Arthur J. Raymo of the General Electric Co. said huge pressurized hollow steel spheres, up to 225 feet in diameter, looked like good bets as "containment vessels" for atomic power plants in case any thing should go wrong with the atomic reactor's control system, releasing potentially dangerous radioactive materials.
 Such protective system, lie said. has been used in GE's power plant at West Millon, NY, and is scheduled for use in the Common wealth Edison project in Illinois

Canadian Dollar
 Hits High Value In Terms of US.

NEW YORK, R-The Canadian dollar pushed ahead yesterday to it's greatest premium over the US. dollar since November 1883.
 It was quoted in early trading at $1.04 23/32 in terms of the US. dollar. The peak reached in 1883 was $1.055s.
 The strength of Canada's dollar has been attributed to the flood of US. money going into Canada for investment. Also, Canadian business has been actively raising funds in the US. capital market because of lower interest rates prevailing south of the border.
 The Bank. of Canada reported Monday that the flow of foreign capital into the Dominion set a record of $1,398, 100000 in 1e56- more than twice the 1855 total of $692, 100000.
