LONDON, Jan. 25 (AP).-
Aneurin Bevan, deputy leader
of the British Labor Party, has
suffered another relapse in his
fight to recover from a major

A hospital spokesman said
four doctors including a blood
specialist examined Mr.. Bevan
this morning. One of the doc
tors was with him an hour and

West Berlin police reported to-

Senate and House Get
Auto Financing Bills

Identical bills were intro
duced in the Senate and House
today to curb burdensome auto
financing charges in the Dis
trict.
The bills were introduced by
Chairman Bible, Democrat of
Nevada. of the Senate District
Committee and Chairman Nc
MILAN, Democrat of South
Carolina, of the House COM
mittee.
The legislation would fix
maximum financing charges at
SO per $lO0 on new cars; at
Sll per $100 for cars not more
than two years old; at Sl4 per
S100 for cars more than 2
but not more than 4 years old,
and at $l6 per $100 for cars
more than 4 years old.
The District Commissioners
would be empowered to regu-
late both car statesmen and
financiers and to require bonds
from persons wishing to en-
gage in such business. Now
only licenses are required.
Senator Bible said the meas
ure was designed to protect
car buyers, who he said have
been the target of a team
play by the unscrupulous." A
pattern of growing complaints
about unethical practices Of
a small minority of District
used-car dealers and some fly
by-night finance companies
resulted in the legislation, he
said.
/ He told the Senate that Dis
trict laws obviously do not
meet fair business standards
imposed by other States to
curb these sharp practices.

A strong police detachment
was rushed to the area as
thousands of residents in the

lists held out today behind
makeshift barricades in the
heart of Algiers.
Dawn found the capital quiet
but tense in the wake of last
nights fighting and panic that
left 21 killed, including 10 po-
licemen, and 153 wounded.
The army seemed firmly in
control, except for two pockets
where about 1000 insurgents
were holed up.
tAlgiers was under tight
army censorship and little di-
rect news was going through,
Paris dispatches said. In the
French capital it was learned
that troop reinforcementS
were being poured into AL
giers. And there were re-
ports there that efforts at
negotiation were being made.

the barricades and talked

Frenchman against Frenchman
in Algeria already bleeding
from a flve-year revolt of ma
tionalists.
There was no objection under
the stiff military censorship to
calling yesterdays uprising a
fight to keep Algeria French.
ParatroOps on Guard
Trucks of paratroopers lined
Avenue Pasteur along the west
ern flank of the barricaded
areas. The holdouts showed
signs of'their all-night watch
as they silently stared at pas
sersby who hurried along in
the bleak dawn.
Some men were seen leaving
the barricades on the grounds
OF Algiers University and the
Rue Michelet and sneaking
away - but seemed to have

Troops apparently blocked
only two or three exits from
the insurgent areas.
Despite a military order BAN

The communique said the
cabinet confirmed instructions
already given to Gen. Maurice
Challe, the commander in chief
in Algeria, to place Algiers un-
der martial law. 1t also reported
that most of the people of Al
giers were obeying a general
strike call issued by the insur-
gents to protest the De Gaulle
self determination policy for
Algeria.
The people of Paris are re-
acting to the news from Algelia
like spectators at a tragedy in
which they have no direct part.
Few Signs Of Crisis
Except for a few van loads
of police on hand to enforce
the ban against any kind of
public demonstrations, there is
so far no sign of crisis here.
There has been none of the
feverish excitement whic h
marked the Algerian rebellion

"Big Booster Gap"
But he did concede that there
is a "big booster gap" which

This country he said decided

Proxmire Raps
CourtNo)minee
Says CAB Chief
Broke Own Rules
BY the Associated Press

Senator Proxmire. Democrat
Of Wisconsin, today opposed the
nomination of James Durfee
for a Federal judgeship on
grounds of what he called un-
ethical conduct in Mr.. Durfee's
present job as chairman of the
Civil AeronauticS Board.
Senator Proxmire set forth
his opposition at hearing to
consider Mr.. Durfee for life
time appointment, at $25.000 a
year. to the United States
Court of Claims.
But Senator Proxmire told
Chairman Eastland of a Senate
Judiciary subcommittee he will
not resort to calling Mr.. Dur
fees nomination personally
obnoxious"
That device, in the case of a
nomination from a Senator'S
home State, traditionally car
ries a heavy weight in the Sen
ate. Mr.. Durfee is a 62-year-old
native of Oshkosh, Wis.
Hospitality" Cited
Senator Proxmire accused
Durfee of accepting on three
different occasions unusual
hospitality from airlines SUBJ
/ ject to regulations of the CAB,
The hospitality was pro-
vided by persons who had an
intense and obvious pecuniary
interest in the business Of the
CAB" Senator Proxmire said
This activity by Mr.. Durfee
Senator Proxmire said, fla
grantly violated the code OF
ethics of the agency he him
self heads"
With respect to Mr.. Durfee's
experience for a judgeship
Senator Proxmire said he
wholly lacks the technical
training and experience re-
quired for a court that an
nually passes on hundreds OF
millions of dollars of claims
against the Government"
Incidents Listed
Senator Proxmire listed the
following as what he called
violations of a CAB ban against
the acceptance Of unusual
hospitality:
l. A day golfing trip to
Pinehurst. N. c., as a guest
of Flying Tiger Airlines and
Overseas National AirlineS IN
October. 1856.
Q. A four day trip to Mexico
City in September, 1857, as a
guest of Eastern Airlines.
3. A four-day round trip for
Mr.. Durfee and his wife from
New York to Rome, as guests
of Trans World AirlineS in
October, 1857.
"Mr. Durfee is not being pros
ecuted for removal from office. "
Senator Proxmire said. He is
not being disciplined for mis-
conduct.
"He is being considered for
elevation to a judicial position
that has been graced and is
now graced by eminent jurists:
