and Paul Delouvrier, the TOP
civilian.
| Meantime, messages of sup
port and encouragement for
his strong stand poured into
President de Gaulle's Office. La
Dor leaders called for a one
hour work stoppage at II am
Monday to show their solidarity
with the President. Paris news
papers stoutly backed Gen. de
Gaulle.
Gen. de Gaulle met twice
with Mr.. Debre. He also saw
Jacques Chaban-Delmas, presi-
dent Of the National Assembly;
CASTOR Monnerville, president
Of the Senate, and Leon Noel
president of the Constitutional
Court.
These are the four men Gen
de Gaulle must consult before
taking over broad, special
powers authorized by the con-
stitution. There had been much
speculation he will take over
the special powers to assure
himself a firm hand for dealing
with the situation.

up" Mr.. Lagaillarde said as he
rejoined his men.
Fate in Your Hands
The loudspeakers then blared
out advice from Mr.. Ortiz. He
told the screaming crowd:
Nov, people of Algiers, your
fate has entered into your
hands. Remain here. 1t is your
presence which will decide
everything. Only positive things
count with U.S."
A few seconds later a voice
followed crying"
Women of Algiers, do not
tremble for your men. Assemble
yourselves. group yourselves be-
fore the barricades. Do it in
relays night and day. While
you remain before the barri-
cadeS, your men will be secure. "
The outburst of defiance
came after a day in which the
uprising seemed to be weaken
ing. Thunderclouds lowered
over the city again when the
mob spilled through the para
troop lines.
Morning showers had kept
down the flow of sympathizers
to the barricades, usually num-
bering in the thousands.
Bugles Summon Troops
Then bugles blared and the
troops moved in, forming what
looked like a ring of steel where
they had once stood passively,
joking and fraternizing with
passing insurgents.
Gen. Gracieux explained in
a broadcast that his men were
moving in to Gordon off "cer-
tain elements" disrupting the
life of the city.
Crowds were barred from the
big square in front of the bar
ricades, where rebel orators
had harangued the citizens.
The insurgent leadership
called of the general strike
that paralyzed all but essential
services and instructed workers
to get back on the Job Monday.
Gen. Jean Crepin, command
er Of the army corps in Algiers,
took a hand in that too. He
broadcast an appeal for the
population to return to work.
Mr.. Ortiz and Jules Sapin-
Ligniers. commander of all the
10000 to 10000 territorials in
Algiers, had a 45-minute con-
ference with Gen. Gracieux be-
Evening star., 1960-01-31

fore the paratroops began to
seal OF the barricades. Shout
ing, confusion and indecision
were evident at the territorial
command post.
Peace and calm were restored
to Oran and other Algerian
cities where the spirit Of re-
volt had flared briefly. The
Oran area commander. Gen.
Fernand Gambler, phrased an
appeal for return to work in
words the rightists like to hear.
THE army will remain the
inf1exible guarantee of your
hopes" he said. I'VE swear to
work and to fight so that Al
geria remains forever French"
Gen. Gambler, however, like
other top commanders, has
pledged loyalty to Gen. de
Gaulle, who has promised self
determination for Algeria.
Algiers insurgent leaders held
a war council at Mr.. Ortiz's
headquarters Just before dusk.
Lugging a tommygun, Mr.. La
gaillarde entered and snapped
to a newsman: You can see
we are not giving up."
Portrait of Massu
On the wall was a portrait
of paratroop Brig. Gen. Jac-
ques Massu, the settlers hero
whose dismissal as Algiers
commander by Gen. de Gaulle
touched off the insurrection
with a riot last Sunday that
left 26 dead.
In Paris about the same time,
Premier Michel Debre received
Gen. Massu for a brief talk.
In tense governmental circles
the Massu-Debre interview was
a subject of speculation. But
there was nothing firm.
In the tumult here tonight.
four Army helicopters whirred
overhead and contributed to
the noise.
Mr.. Lagaillarde's speech was
partly drowned out by the noise.
In the crowd were some who
believed they heard him say
he must capitulate and they
interpreted his words that he
was willing to fight the Ma
tionaliSt rebels as meaning he
was giving in.
Stunned and unbelieving,
they turned questioningly to
the men in the barricades. Not
until Mr.. Ortiz spoke up was
the mob its old cheering self
again.

looked stunned.
Mr.. Lagaillarde spoke from
the command post balcony of
his fellow insurgent leader, Cafe
owner Joseph Ortiz. Army hell

That goal was fatty rejected
in a speech last night by Pres

stood by his program to let
Algerians eventually decide

France, autonomy or independ-

Debre Visits Mossu,
Bors Trips to Algeria

PARIS, Jan. 80 (AP)..-Pres-
ident de Gaulle and Premier
Michel Debre today kept an
uneasy eye cooked on the bar
ricades of the French lnsur-
gents in Algiers as they
urgently consulted their top
advisers.
The government took steps
to stop any possible flight to
Algeria by sympathizers of the
Algerian extremists. Private
plane flights in France were
banned, except by special au-
Ithorization. All visas for Algeria
issued before today were can
celled.
Gen. de Gaulle and Mr.
Debre closely followed the de-
velopments in Algeria.
Leaders Confer
Late in the day, while the
situation was developing into
a stern test of force in Algiers,
Mr.. Debre saw Gen. Jacques
Massu and Gen. Paul Ely,
chairman of the Chiefs Of
Staff.
Gen. MaSsu is the hero of
the French settlers in Algeria.
1t was his dismissal as COM
mander of the Algiers' military
region that brought on the cur
rent crisis.
The Algerian crowds have
been chanting ':Vive Massu" at
the same meetings where they
angrily scream Down With
De Gaulle" and de Gaulle to

Tonight in Algiers there is

The SECS quarterly report

The profit-squeezing effect
of rising payroll. equipment and

the same quarter of last year.
For the first half of 1860, the

were 8 per cent above the vol
ume in the same period of 1859.
Although profits were well
behind those of last year, they
were higher in the April-June
