an accurate statement of our stand.
We buy milk from 275 farms in Virginia
and Maryland. All are inspected and ap-
proved by the D. C. Health Department.
Eighty per cent of them are members of the
farmers cooperative association; the bal
ance are not. Buying from high quality
farms without regard to their membership or
on-membership in the cooperative has been
our policy since 1850
The regulations under which these farms
are inspected have been essentially I'M
changed in "a years. Our only recent action
has been to request the D. C. Commissioners
to consider the need for modernization of
these 1925 rules. We believe that any law
should be reviewed periodically in order to
keep it in tune with the times.
We believe modernization of this code can
make it possible for us to make lower-price
milk available to you-with no effect upon
the quality standards for which our name has
stood so long.

that negotiations will succeed

f1cially there has been no re-
action from the French gov.
ernment.
Ferhat Abbas himself ap-
parently would take no lead

indicated that he might ac-
company the group as an ad-
wiser or a Journalist" The
implication is that the discus
sions would be of purely mill
tary nature. Nothing more is
being said about political
negotiations" on which the
FIN had previously insisted.
Ferhat Abbas-in Tangiers
Rumors that something is
brewing were strengthened by
the arrival today of Ferhat
Abbas in Tangiers. The free
city in Spanish Morocco is a
key communications point for
Nationalist leaders. There were
even rumors today-strictly un-
confirmed-that the delegation
was already in Paris.
These events, coming on the
eve of a major Algerian debate
in the French Assembly, have
added to the tension of an al
ready super-charged atmos-
phere.
Premier Debre leads of de-
bate this afternoon with a
speech defending Gen. de
Gaulle's proposals for "autode-
termination" in Algeria in which
Algerians themselves could
choose independence, complete
integration with France or as
sociation within the French
community.
Though a majority in favor
Of the government is assured,
this policy is likely to be Violent
ly attacked by right wing depu-
ties in the course Of the two-day

In Algeria, there is increasing
violence. A recent upsurge of
terrorist activity led yesterday
to reprisal raids on the Algiers
Casbah involving off duty para
chute troops. Despite stern or
ders from the departmental
commander. Gen. Jacques
Massu. the danger of new out
breaks is mounting. And the
possibility also exists. of violent
demonstrations in Paris against
the arrival Of an Algerian dele

Ceose-Fire Chance
Agitotes Porisions

Both Tunisia and Morocco
have been actively working for
a cease fire in the Algerian
war. urging Nationalist leaders
to accept the terms offered by
Gen. de Gaulle.
The interview with Ferhat
Abbas also follows the dec
laration of French Foreign
Minister Couve de Murville
that leaders of the FIN would
be allowed to come to Paris to
negotiate the terms Of a cease
fire. His statement Sunday
spelled out specifically what
had been implied in Gen.
de Gaulle's earlier blanket in
vitation.
In accepting this invitation,
the Algerian leader warned
that "it must be clearly under
stood that this trip to Paris
will not be a capitulation,
white flag in hand, and that
we will be able to leave in COM
plete freedom if we do not
reach an accord"
On the other hand, Mr..
AbbaS said he agreed with
Gen.. de Gaulle on the issue
of self determination for Al
geria. If an eventual vote
went against the Nationalists,
he said, the FIN would abide
by the decision.
Sees Little Chance. However
He added, however, that he
believed the chances Of this
were lone in a thousand" and
that association" with France
would rapidly end in independ-
ence.
Again the Nationalist leader
argued that a fair vote could
not be carried out under the
supervision of the French
Army. His suggestion-unlikely
to be received enthusiastically
by French authorities-was
that both armies should over
see the ballot. Gen. de Gaulle
has left the details of the vote
vague. suggesting only that
outside observers would be
welcome.
In any event, Mr.. Abbas
emphasized strongly his hope
for an early end to the fight
ing.
Until our reply Ito the
French proposals) on Septem-
ber % there was point to the
killing. Now there is no point,
since we agree" he said.
There are some skeptics in |
Paris who still see all of this as
an elaborate ruse designed to
sway world opinion and en-
barrasS the French government. |
But many observers here are
now persuaded that both sides
are seriously looking for a So
luton and that the proposal of |
the Algerian leaders may be
the real thing.

FORT RICHARDSON A major problem is facing instruc- tors at the U. s. Army Cold Weather and Mountain School at Fort Greedy. There isn't any snow.
 Lack of the fluffy white stuff at the Arny's northernmost post has forced 29 school instructors south to the Anchorage area, where they are now bivouacked on Eagle River Glacier the only place with enough snow to continue their special training.
 'The men are practicing train ing techniques they will use in teaching cold weather warfare at the schol this winter" accord ing to Colonel Frank Forrest, as sistant GYMS commandant. "This unexpected shortage of snowfall would have set back our schedule quite a bit, if it hadn't been for our quick move to the Banana Belt Eagle River Glacier"
 A 128-man group of soldiers from Fort Lewis, Washington's 1st Battle Group, 18th Infantry, is due to arrive at the school for special winter training.
