Nevertheless, now that the
blackout Of news from Algeria
has been lifted a number of
facts have become clear which
tell at least part of the story
and which have considerable
significance for the future.
The most important fact is
that the rebellion at no time
was able to consolidate its
strength outside of the major
cities or extend its authority to
most of the army. According to
these new reports, the mutiny
was confined from the begin
ming to a small group of senior
officers supported by a limited
number of specialist" troops,
notably paratroop regiments of
the Foreign Legion.
The rest Of the 500, ,000-man
army, made up largely Of

BY the Associated Press

~ WAC AooOSldLCu EIEbb
The State Department said
today six American newsmen
had been arrested by the Cas-
tro government, but have now
been released.
Listed as released were
Harold K. Milks, the Associated
Press; Richard Valeriani, Ma
tional BroadcaSting Co.; Henry
Raymont, United Press Inter-

Robert Perez, Mutual Broad

The department was unable
to give further information
concerning some other United
States newsmen whose Situa-
tion is not known here. They
include Robert Berrellez of the
AP staff in Havana.
Press Officer Lincoln White
said the department has nc

it was they who moved deci-
Sively to crush the revolt.
Refused to Take Off
Another key element un-
doubtedly was the refusal OF
rank and file Of the air
force to follow the lead OF
their commander-in-chief, Gen
Pierre Bigot in joining the mu-
tiny. When transport pilots in
Algiers refused to take off
Sunday night with paratroop-
ers headed for Paris the mas
ter plan of the rebels began to
fall apart. When "a of these
same pilots flew their planes
to French soil yesterday after
noon, the last chance Of a sue
ceSsful extension of the rebel
lion went down the drain.
De Gaulle Praised
Finally the firm loyalty Of
the French fleet throughout the
episode was a fatal blow to the
hopes of the mutinous officers.
The failure of their attack yes
terday on the naval base at
Mers-El-Kebir, when the cruis-
er Maille-Breze fired warning

DR.. James M. Nabrit, jr.,

IF, however, we face the

Rebel Chief Cha|Ie. Taken
To Paris to Face Trial
Others Hunted
After Algerian
Uprising Fails

ALGIERS, April 26 (AP).-
Forces loyal to Gen. Charles de
Gaulle crushed the four-day
army revolt today with hard
ly a shot. The man who led the
insurrection, Gen. Maurice
Challe, arrived in Paris and
surrendered to face trial and
possibly a death sentence.
Three other retired generals
who Joined in leading the mu-
tiny-Raoul Salan, Edmond
Jouhad and Andre Zeller-were
not accounted for. One uncon-
firmed report put them at a
Foreign Legion camp at Ear
elda, Is miles from AlgierS.
The French Ministry OF In
formation said the 56-year-old
Gen. Challe landed at a field
near Paris. He will be brought
to trial on charges of organiz-
ing an insurrection and usurp-
ing power. Similar charges have
been placed against the other
generals and three colonels.
Gen. Challe, wearing civilian
clothes and carrying a heavy
suitcase, stumbled and sprawled
on his knees as he climbed from
a military plane at Villacoublay
airfield, near Paris.
Police who were standing
around rushed to pull him to
his feet. They then hurried
him to a waiting prison van.
Gen Challe peered briefly
through the barbed window as
the van, escorted by four
motorcycle policemen and two
cars of gendarmes, sped off to-
ward Paris.
The government has not dis
closed whether Gen. Challe will
be tried as a soldier or as a
civilian, On this issue could
depend whether he faces a fir
ing squad or the guillotine-al-
though the possibility of a
death sentence was largely dis
counted in Paris.
End of Revolt Sudden
The uprising ended with the
bewildering abruptness with
which it began Saturday.
Thousands of Europeans
gathered in the Forum in the
center of Algiers as rumors
swept the city that loyal troops
were preparing an attack. The
mutinous generals could give
little encouragement to the
French settlers, who had hoped
Gen. de Gaulle's plan of self
determination for Algeria was
doomed by the inSurrection.
The generals attempted to
speak to the crowd but found
the microphones were dead.
They then boarded trucks
guarded by paratroopers and
fled the city. Loyal gendarmes
and troops took control of the
city and threw up roadblocks.
Sporadic shooting broke out,
but after daylight life in Algiers
steadily returned to normal.
Stores and shops opened and
buses were on schedule.
Plane Reaches Gibraltar
Information Minister Louis
Terrenoire told newsmen in
Paris that a plane from Al
geria had landed at British
Gibraltar with certain "ac-
completes" of Gen. Challe, but
he did not know their identity.
Mr.. Terrenoire met with re-
porterS after the cabinet in a
special session had discussed

j. ). Files Suit
On Schools in
Prince Edward
Moves to Force
ReoPening on
Integruted Busis
BY the Associated Press

The Justice Department to-
day took court action to force
reopening on a racially inte-
grated basis of the Prince Ed
ward County (VaO public
schools which have been closed
since 1859.
The court action seeks to
withhold tax support from any
public schools in Virginia until
Prince Edward schools are re-
opened.
Attorney General Robert F
Kennedy announced he has
filed a motion in the Fedora,
District Court in Richmond
asking leave to intervene as g
co-plaintiff in a desegregatior
suit originally brought by Negro
high school students in 1852.
The motion filed in Rich
mond before District Judge Orer
R. Lewis asked that county anc
State officials be required to
re-establish the Prince Edward
school system, and also asks the
court to enjoin public support
Of the county's private schools
or public support of any public
schools in Virginia until the
Prince Edward Schools are re-
opened.
Obstruction Charged
The closing of public schools
to avoid compliance with a de-
segregation decree while schools
elsewhere in the State remain
open is an unlawful obstruction
to the carrying out of such de-
cree, and the diversion of State
funds from the closed schools
to privately operated segregated
schools Is an unlawful circum-
vention Of such Decree" the
Government said.
The Justice Department noted
that the schools in the county
were closed in June, 1859, after
the 4th Circuit Court Of Appeals
in Richmond ordered the
schools desegregated.
Since that time, the depart.
ment said, the county's Negro
children have had no formal
education, but private schools
have been operated for about
1,400 white children with
State financial assistance and
through contributions from
private citizens.

that in line with announced
policy. department officials hac
attempted to correct the Prince
Edward situation through per-
sonal contact with officials but
without success.

Borrowing Plan
By ROBERT X. WALSH
Star staff Writer

A 1894 million bill to help
economically depressed areas
received final congressional ap-
proval today as the House
the compromise measure,
223-193, after a bitter fight
over "backdoor spending"
The bill now goes to the
White House for expected ap-
proval. President Kennedy had
urged depressed areas legiSla-
ton as a major item in his
for coping with ma
tional unemployment and the
business recession.
Voting for the bill in the
House were 1872 Democrats and
81 Republicans. Against it
were Sc Democrats and 1877
Republicans.
The battle today centered on
a conference committee COM
promise which the Senate ap-
proved last week. The main
issue in the House was whether
the loans to help rehabilitate
industries affected by chronic
economic depression should be
financed by annual congress
Sional appropriations or by an
overall authorization for with
drawal of funds for the Treas
ury.
Financing Revised
Republicans and some Demo-
Gratis opposing this financing
method recalled in the House
today that Mr.. Kennedy origi-
nally favored the annual ap-
propriationS method. That
provision was in the House bill
as passed March 20 by a vote
of 251-167.
The Senate bill was almost
identical with the House ver-
sion, except that it authorized
the Treasury borrowing pro-
cedure denounced by most Re-
publicans as "backdoor spend
ing" House and Senate
confereeS agreed on the Senate
version.
Because the Senate last
week approved the conference
recommendation, the House to-
day could only vote the bill up
or down. Representative Pat
man, Democrat of Texas,
warned that House defeat of
the conference bill would mean
that there could be no de-
pressed areas legislation this
year.
Threat" Charged
House Republican Leader
Halleck accused him of threat
ening" the House.
Mr.. Halleck and others, in
Guiding Democratic Represen-
tativeS Howard w. Smith of
Virginia, chairman of the Rules
Committee, and Cannon of
Missouri, chairman of the Ap-
preparations Committee, urged
that the conference bill be
voted down, so that another
conference committee could be
appointed in the hope of knock
ing out the "backdoor spend
ing" provision.
Mr.. Halleck insisted that the
sole issue before the House to-
day was the "backdoor spend
ing" and that members who
voted against the bill should
not be accused of voting against
help to the unemployed.
"Flip-FIop" Noted
Other Republicans accused
the administration as well as
Democratic members of the
conference committee of having
done a "flip-flop" within the
last week by suddenly deciding
to support the Senate provision
for "backdoor spending"
House Democratic Leader
Mccormack defended the
Treasury borrowing procedure
as a well-tested and often nee
essary financing method.
He also noted that "prac-
tically all of the members who
spoke here today against the
conference report voted last
month against any depressed
areas bill in the House" He
noted that former President
Eisenhower vetoed two bills of
this kind in recent years and
that President Kennedy was
ready to sign this bill
