Interregnum'

Some of the reporters and
commentators around town
are using the word "interreg-
mum" to describe this period
between election day and in
auguration day. I await with
some trepidation the small
explosion that may occur if
some reporter uses the term
in a question at the next
presidential news conference.
My, dictionaries define the
first and second meanings of
the word as follows: Inter
regnum-1. The time during
which a throne is vacant
between two successive
reigns. 2. Any period during
which the functions of gov
eminent or any kind of con-
troll are suspended"

Kind Words

AS a daily reader Of your
very fine newspaper for q
number Of years, I wish to Of
fer my congratulations for
the splendid political cover
age you gave both presiden-
tial candidates during the
recent campaign. Your edito-
rails, daily reports and politi-
cal cartoons reflected the
high caliber Of both men and
women on your newspaper
staff who we're assigned to
this political work.
Now that the big show"
is over I suggest that Presi-
dent-elect and Mrs. Kennedy
name their future heir "Vic-
tory" whether the new bum
die OF Joy is a boy or girl.

Jim Berryman's cartoon
November IL was the most
apt, and telling" of those of
the recent election and is
worthy of my friend Jim's
father. the Incompatible
Cliff. who made a cartoon for
me which kept a butcher
from locating an abattoir on
the Virginia shore near Ar
ington Cemetery.
The covered wagon hitched

ing Of many of us that I
would bid high for the origi-

Correction

Upon my return from q
visit to the West Coast, my
attention was Immediately
called to Miss Betty Beale's
column in your paper Of
Monday, November IA, in
which she quoted me as hav-
ing said, in reply to a toast,
at a party on the evening
after the election: Mr.. Ken
nedy does not have a man
date from the American peo-
pie. He does not have the
authority to speak for this
country" She also attributed
to me the remark that Sena-
tor Kennedy cannot carry out
his platform unless he goes
back to the American people
and gets a mandate.
I am amazed. In the first
place. I was not the guest of
honor at the party referred
to. and I did not rise to re-
ply to any toast. In the Sec
ond place, I did not make any
such remarks quoted above
either at the dinner or after
wards. This can be verified, I
am sure, by the hostess of
the party, Mrs. Robert Nc
Cormick.
I would not have troubled
you with this correction II
Miss Beale had not attributed
to me the remarks which I
consider to be q breach of
diplomatic decorum.
The courtesy Of your pub
fishing this letter will be
appreciated.

self is scheduled to go to Al
geria at the beginning Of
December. there to announce
the formation of a new Al
gerian executive and to over
see its installation in person.
The Rebels Alternative
If the plan succeeds. the
rebel leaders would be faced
with the choice of accepting
it or fighting a war in which
the other side refuses to fight
except in self-defense-a war
for an independence which,
in fact. already exists. And
while the preliminary steps
may be taken independently
by the French government.
the invitation will remain
open to the rebel leaders to
take part in the political
negotiations leading to the
creation of the new state.
Ingenious as it may be,
there are a number of OBJ.
vious weaknesses in this plan
as it is now understood. In
France many people-who
hope sincerely for a liberal
solution Of the Algerian prob
blem-doubt that Gen de
Gaulle is on the right track.
AS long as an Algerian Tex
ecutive" is confined to the
present elected representa-
tives of algeria to the exclu-
sion of the FIN, it will be
hardly more representative
Of the Algerian people than
the rebel leaders. There is.
furthermore, no outstanding
figure around whom the new
government could be formed,
And the experience Of Indo-
China, where last-minute
concessions were made to the
short-lived puppet regime of
Bao Dali, is not encouraging.
The most serious obstacles
to the success of Gen. de
Gaulle's new course" how
ever, are the violent oppose
ton Of the French commune
ty in Algeria to any solution
which threatens the suprem-
acy of French rule and the
highly dubious attitude of the
French Army. For extremists
Of the right, the principle Of
an Algerian executive" is
abhorrent and the idea Of an
independent Algerian repub-
lie is tantamount to treason.
1t can be expected that this
group will make one last
desperate effort to overthrow
Gen. de Gaulle and wreck his
program before it begins.
1t is this group. therefore.
which must be decisively de-
feated at the outset-which

ceeds in crushing his right
wing opponents, his plan for

chance Of success. If he fails
the possibility of civil war in

PARIS

PARIS
AS Gen. de Gaulle's plans
for Algeria begin to take
shape, it is becoming clear
that the stakes involve not
only the future of Algeria,
but the future of France it.
self. The realization has
grown here over the past
week that Gen. de Gaulle
is heading for a new show
down, not with the leaders
Of the rebellion, but with his
own opposition in Algeria
and the French Army.
There is still much that
is obscure about the new
course" that the French Pres
ident outlined in his speech
Of November 4. Even the
members Of his own gov
eminent who are being re-
quired to pledge their uncon-
ditional loyalty to his poll
cies have no very precise
IDEA Of the course to be fol-
lowed. The element Of mys-
terry which Gen. de Gaulle
holds to be essential to real
leadership has by no means
disappeared.
Rightly or wrongly, how
ever, there is now wide
agreement on three concrete
steps that will be taken in
the near future. These are:
l. A move to set up some
kind Of Algerian executive"
drawn from the present corps
Of elected officials. These in
clude Algerian Deputies and
Senators, municipal council
lors and mayors and general
councils" which administer
local affairs of the Algerian
departments.
2. A declaration of a uni
lateral ceasefire. at least in
the more pacified parts of
western Algeria. This step
would clear the way for re-
sumption of normal political
activity and begin prepare
ton for the vote several years
hence which will determine
the relationship Of Algeria to
France.
3. Endorsement of his pol
icies by the French nation
as q whole by means of a
referendum. This unusual
move-designed obviously to
discourage opposition-is ex-
pected to take place within
two months, after the an
nouncement of a date for the
setting up of an Algerian
executive"
An Independent Republic
What these steps add up to
is nothing less than a move
toward the creation Of an in
dependent republic of AL.
geria which Gen. de Gaulle.
for one, accepts as histori-
cally inevitable. According to
the Generals plan. this will
be done by France without
the participation or approval
Of the rebel government" in
Tunis. The aim is to create
an Algerian third force" be-
tween European extremists
who insist that Algeria must
remain French and the rebels
who insist that independence
must be won by the force Of
arms.

of his right ear, partially scalped

He contended Rangers at the

that the bears were dangerous
and that officials of a govern
