Algeria Rebels Pick
5 Prisoners to Talk
On De Gau||e Offer
Possible Break
Seen in CostIy
FiVe-Ieur War

TUNIS. Nov. 20 (AP)-The
exile government of Algerian
rebels today named a five-man
team-all in French prisons
since l956-to discuss the con-
ditionS of President Charles
de Gaulle's offer of self-de-
termination.
The move could be a big
break toward ending the costly
flve-year war in Algeria that
has kept half a million French
soldiers pinned down. But the
rebel communique contained
two points which could be
stumbling blocks.
And at Colmar, France, tour
ing President de Gaulle recalled
in a speech his standing offer
to receive and talk to Algerian
leaders about a cease-flre. But
he added: Naturally, / speak
of those who are fighting. I
do not speak of those who are
out of combat" This appeared
to rule out the f1ve-man dele
cation named by the rebels.
The other two rebel points
which might be troublesome:
/. They said they were pre-
pared to discuss the condi-
tionS and guarantees of the ap-
plication of self-determination"
made by Gen. de Gaulle on
october 10.
2. They said there could be
no cease fire in Algeria with
out an agreement on how the
offer Of self-determination
would be applied.
Political Difficulty Seen
1t seemed clear these points
could not be discussed by the
French without getting into
political questions with the
rebelS-which the French gov
ernment has refused to do.
The rebel offer to send in
structions to its team as soon
as the French government "ac-
cepts the principle of this
meeting" came 10 days after
Gen de Gaulle renewed a year.
old offer to give a safe conduct
to a rebel delegation to come
to Paris to discuss a cease-fire.
The Algerians turned down
the offer a year ago. They
wanted the talks on neutral
ground and they wanted the
agenda broadened to include
political questions as we'll as a
cease fire.
Gen. de Gaulle, in renewing
his offer, apparently had in
mind discussing a cease-fire
with rebel leaders who are free.
But the Algerians named five
men who long have been in
French prisonS-including the
storied Mohammed Ben Bella,

Algeria on November l, 1854,

Shurp Practices
Told at Hearing
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG
Star Stan Writer

Victims of used car dealers
today unfolded a story of ex-
orbitant payments and mis-
representation to the District
Council on Law Enforcement,
Their stories highlighted the
opening of hearings by a special
committee of the law inforce-
ment council.
Before they testified, District
officials laid the groundwork
by explaining how a handful of
used car dealers is able to stay
in business because of a lack
of both law and regulation.
United States Attorney Oliver
Gasch, chairman of the law
enforcement council, opened the
session by outlining the coun-
ellis plan to investigate un-
ethical practices in the used
car business and to seek
remedial action.
One Experience Told
One witness, Nathan A. Glib
son, a 7l-year-old retired Gov
ernment employe, told how he
lost a 500 down payment and
the 1854 Oldsmobile he traded
in. and wound UP with an 81 ,S94
mortgage on his home. He said
he also returned the 1855 Olds-
mobile he had bought, because
it didn't run.
He testified that he wanted
to try out the car before he
bought it but that it was
blocked by another car, for
which the key was not avail
able. He said he was assured
that if he was not satisfied with
the car he could return it i'm
mediately. He said he drove
it less than seven blocks from
the lot, realized it was no good
and returned to the lot, de-
manding his old car back.
He was told to come back
the next day, he said.
When he returned to the lot.

The labels are meant to ease

In an effort to appease angry

2. Certified safe under the

The latter label applies to
stocks tested by packers or
dealers in accordance with
Government regulations. Shop

dence. Mr.. Flemming said.
There is no law requiring
dealers to affiX the labels, but

WASHINGTON, R = Many were considered and seven were chosen. Barring the U.S.S.R. doing it first, one of these seven Amer jeans is likely to be the first man to orbit the earth in space.
 The selection of the seven-man team of Mercury Astronauts" was announced Monday by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Their names are still a secret, but they will be made public soon.
 They were picked for Americas S first manned satellite experiment, Project Mercury, from a carefully selected initial list of 110 highly qualified military pilots Both phy- sical and mental fitness were measured intensively.
 The number was held to seven - instead of 12 as originally planned - so that each team member could take full part in all phases of the project.
 They will have a hand in the engineering and scientific devel- opment of the space vehicle. They will handle test flights at moderate speeds and attitudes, getting ready for the supreme test, an 0O0-mile-an-hour orbiting flight 100 miles or more above the earth.
 All the men are graduates of military test pilot training schools They have at least 1,500 hours of ] flying time. Each holds the equi-

 None is taller than 5 feet II inches. The space capsule they will man is a cramped affair.
 NASA officials said they did not even get through the entire panel of no men before making the selections. Of the first 69 men interviewed, 80 per cent volun- teered for the historic mission.
 "All were of such high caliber that selection was difficult" the NASA announcement, said.
 The Mercury Astronauts will go within few days to Langley Re search Center at Hampton, Va, to start about two years of train ing. All seven are married.

Atom Sub Skate Returns From End Polar Voyage
By LOU BLACK

GROTON, Conn, R The atomic submarine Skate came back triumphantly yesterday from her second trip under the North Pole.
 Her captain, Cmdr James F. Calvert, waved from the coming tower of the nuclear ship as fog- horns sounded, whistles screamed and fireboat shot water into the air in welcome.
 The Skate showed signs of her scrape with Arctic ice. A few marks and bit of rust were on her sides, apparently caused by -her surfacing in Arctic waters.
 The damage appeared to be very slight.
 As the Skate tied up for brief dockside ceremonies, a citation from President Eisenhower and a commendation from Secretary of the Navy Thomas Gates were given Calvert and his crew of l06 officers and men.
 The documents cited the Skates trip that started March 4 and car i ried her under the Arctic winter ice for 12 days. She surfaced 10 times, once right at the North Pole.
 The 3,090-mile voyage had tre- mendous implications for missile warfare It showed that an atomic submarine, capable of staying hid- den under water indefinitely, could surface from under the ice in any weather and fire missiles. The Skate, using a television device, looked for thin places in the ice. A whip-like antenna helped probe the ice above.
