Secret Army
Bombs Spread
Gran Terror

ALGIERS. June % CAP).-
European extremists rocked the
eastern Algerian seaport of
Bone with 20 explosions last
night in continued defiance of
a Secret Army-Moslem peace
pact in Algiers.
Plastic bomb explosions
doomed out at 10-minute inter-
walls. One wrecked a travel
agency office. Another heavily
damaged a low-rent housing
office near police headquarters,
mjuring a 17-year-old Euro
pean youth.
Terrorists also hurled hand
grenadeS into a Moslem housing
area. No injuries were reported.
The Secret Army command
in Western Algeria also reiter-
ated its refusal to recognize the
ceaSe-fire agreement, but de-
clared in a pirate radio broad
cast from Oran yesterday that
some other kind of dealings
were in the works. 1t did not
elaborate. The Oran command
has been demanding the es-
Enlistment of autonomous
European enclaves in Western
Algeria.
Fight PrOvOcatiOns'
Life in Algiers was returning
rapidly to normal, but the
Secret Army command there
also spoke of fighting again
this time with French gen.
darmes.
A clandeStine broadcast ac-
cuSed the French police of
violating the Secret Army
Moslem agreement by continu-
ing operations against al
gerian Europeans and against
MoSlems despite official guar
antees and the agreement"
The broadcast said Secret
Army commands have ere
ceived instructions to fight all
provocationS with gunfire."
The broadcast made no men,
ton of an earlier ultimatum to
the MoslemS to begin imple-
menting the accord between
Algiers Secret Army leader
Jean-Jacques Susini and DR..
Chewki Mostefai, representative
of the Moslem National Liberia
ton Front (FLN on the Al
gerian provisional executive.
The ultimatum expired last
night.
Vague Promises
On Tuesday night Mr.. Susini
gave the Moslems 48 hours to
begin fulfilling DR.. Mostefai's
vague promise to integrate Eu-
ropeanS into local security
forces set up by the provisional
executive. Authorities said they
had no indication that the Mos
lens would comply with the
demand.
Moslems took advantage of
the uneasy truce in Algiers yes
terday to return to their jobs in
European sections for the first
time. There was a nearly 100
per cent return to work IN vital
city services.
A few stores and restaurants
reopened, but the European
part of the city continued to
empty. Thousands of Europeans
again beseiged airline offices
for transportation to France.
Officials said $1,000 Euro
peans, about a third of Algiers'
European population, have fled
the city since June !.
Censorship Lifted
The French High Commits

press censorship in Algeria to
facilitate freedom of express
sion in the campaign before
the July l self-determination
referendum expected to vote
Algeria independent. Strict
censorship had been imposed
on all newspapers published or
distributed in Algeria for
nearly two years.
