Rightists Step Up Fight
Against Algeria Plan

ALGIERS, Oct. 2 (AP).-
Deputy Pierre la Gaillarde,
leader Of an extreme rightist
group in Algeria, said today he
will try to push a motion
through the French National
Assembly condemning Presi-
dent Charles de Gaulle's Alge-
rian policy.
The bearded ex-paratroop
lieutenant said in an interview
he is sure of support from at
least 81 other Deputies,
enough to form a nucleus of
opposition"
Paris political sources, how
ever. doubted that such a mo-
ton could get the signatures
OF even the 10 per cent of the
DeputieS-5S-required to bring
1t to debate. These sources
doubted that many Deputies
are ready to come out in open
opposition to Gen de Gaulle.
Pushes Fight
EITHER we tolerate De Gaulle's
policy Of abandonment and lose
Algeria or we fight it out like
men," said Mr.. lie Gaillarde as
he prepared to address a meet
ing Of right-wing student fol-
lowers.
Mr.. Ia Gaillarde's faction and
other French rightists in Algeria
have accused Gen. de Gaulle
Of a sellout, fearing he will ne
gotiate peace with the Algerian
rebels who have been fighting
for independence for five years.

Indignation Favored


Meanwhile, a newspaper pub
lie opinion poll in Paris showed
more Frenchmen in favor of
Algeria'S integration with
France than for either Of the
other alternatives listed by
Gen. de Gaulle.
The poll by Paris-Presse said
"a per cent Of those questioned
were in favor Of Indignation, %
pc recent for internal auton-
omy and only II per cent for
independence. The remainder
expressed no opinion.
The newspaper did not dis
close the number Of persons
polled. Gen. de Gaulle's plan
provides that any choice made
by the Algerians must be rati-
fed by a vote Of the French
people before it becomes
effective.

Senator Capehart, Republican
Of Indiana, proposed today that
Congress pass a new housing
bill mot very different in
amounts" from the one Presi-
dent Eisenhower vetoed.
tAs the Senate Housing sub
committee came to the end OF
10 days of hearings. the top
ranking Republican member
said. II don't think we're very
far apart"
He based his statement on an
admission by Housing Admin
istrator Norman P. Mason that
the President could have exer-
cised some discretion in deter
mining the rate at which the
expenditures authorized in the
vetoed bill we're actually spent,
Senator Capehart indicated he
thought the bill could have
been signed.
Despite the Capehart sug-
gestion for re-enactment OF
substantially the same bill. the
Democrats, headed by Senator
Sparkman of Alabama, may
decide to try to override the
veto if a checkup indicates they
have the two-thirds to accom-
plish that.

Wholesale Supplier
of Gas Seeking More

Gas company will be affected some

asked by Atlantic Seaboard cor

suppliers of natural gas.

is emptied into the c & A sys-
TEN to supply its West Virginia
and Western Maryland customers.
A representative of the Columbia
Gas System, of which { & A is a
subsidiary, said in Pittsburgh it
will cost the company an additional
S68,600 annually for gas purchased
from Atlantic Seaboard He would
not venture to say if c & A would
press for permission from the
public service commissions of both
states to increase its consumer
rates to offset this additional
charge.

sion in Washington for a 81 y645, 900

rates affecting % gas utilities serv-
ing customers in Pennsylvania,

to become effective December Z.
Companies affected by the rate re-
quest serve more than 100000
