President De GauIle Escapes Attempt on Life

PARIS R President De Gaul- le escaped a carefully organized attempt on his life Friday night. His car plunged safely through wall of flame set off by the fuse of a plastic bomb while he was enroute to his country home east of Paris.
 French Interior Minister Roger Frey declared the attempt against the 70-year-old soldier-presiden was organized by a rightwing European group opposed to De Gaulle's policy in Algeria. Frey said one man was put under ar rest and confessed, and that two generals were also being held.
 Investigators said it was only because of exceptionally fortu- nate circumstances that De Gaulle had escaped injury when his pres idential limousine sped through a wall of flame, created by an inflammable mixture apparently intended to serve as a fuse for plastic bomb. The bomb, weigh ing eight pounds. failed to 90 off.
 Official sources said De Gaulle ordered the cars In his party halted after they had passed through the flames. He got out, hunched his shoulders, and said scoffingly: 'sThis was just q little joke in bad taste"
 Then the 70-year-old president got back into his limousine and resumed the trip to his country home about l5O miles east of Paris.

Britain Pays Off
 184- Year-Old Debt

LONDON N = Britain's Chan cellor of the Exchequer has sent a check for the equivalent of SIS to Philadelphia minister who billed him for a church fence burned by Redcoats nearly 1S4 years ago.
 But the chancellor, Selwyn Lloyd told the minister, the Rev. Joseph Koci Jr., the correct place for him to seek compensation was the U. s. government or the State of Pennsylvania.
 The Rev. MT. Koci, rector of St. Peters Episcopal Church in the city of Brotherly Love, lodged his claim with Lloyd last month for destruction of the fence, used as firewood by British troops.
 He priced the fence at SIS, but said interest over all the years now amounts to 756.0o9.
