Rebels Claim
Sahara Is Part

EvIAN-LEs-BAINs, France

EvIAN-LES-BAINs, France,
June 3 (AP) Representative
of the Algerian nationalist reb-
els vowed yesterday to oppose
all French efforts to keep con-
troll of the oil-rich Sahara.
But they left a loophole for a
possible compromise.
A spokesman for the Algerian
nationalists, who are engaged
in crucial peace negotiations
with France. announced in
nearby Geneva:
The Algerian people have
not taken up arms to see AL
geria amputated from four
fifths of its territory. 1t is not
possible to be conciliatory on
this principle"
However the spokesman,
Redha Malek, stressed that the
Algerian delegation makes a
difference between the Sahara's S
sovereignty and its economic
exploitation"
He said the deserts riches
oil, natural gas and iron ore
should be used in the first
place for the profit of Africa"
Questioned by newsmen, he
said the Algerian rebel govern
ment would consider discussions
on the Sahara's exploitation,
implying a possible agreement
with France.
The French position thus far
has been that the vast desert
forms a separate geographic,
historic and economic entity
and thus it should be excluded
from any vote on the political
! future Of Algeria.
The rebel delegation, led by
former guerrilla chief Belkacem
Krim, accused France Of chang
ing the Sahara's status after oil
was discovered in the desert.
The Sahara was formally
separated by the French from
Algeria in 1957-one year after
the discovery of oil in Hassi
Messaoud. The two Sahara de-
partmentS are ruled directly
