In A|qiers, the Truth Is What You Want to Make 1t

CT whose side you're on. In
Algiers no lie is too pre-
posterouS to be believed. The
most blatant certainties are
flatIy rejected by the majority
as a matter of course.
Eternal Conflict
Fear and suspicion go hand
in hand in a city where no
stranger is either friend or
declared enemy until a gun or
a knife settles the question.
Normal life is the eternal con-
flict of hostile forces. The daily
tracts from the Secret Army
Organization jam the mail
boxes. Leaflets from the Al
gerian Nationalist FIN are
handed to you by taxidrivers
along with your change. Prop
aganda from rival organiza-
tionS litter the streets or are
found tackled to trees lining the
sidewalks. The government
controls the radio and press
and showers the city with
printed exhortations from cir
cling helicopterS.
In Algiers nothing is ever
assumed to be what it seems.
"Provocateurs" people pre-
tending to be what they are
not-are everywhere, one is
told. Of these the most mys-
teriouS are the "barbouSes," or
false Boards" the counter
agents of the government whose
mission is to destroy the OAS.

Foreign Correspondent Of The Star
ALGIERS, Mar. 3O.-Slowly,
like person awakening from a
nightmare, this city is return
ing to normal.
Despite sporadic outbursts of
violence. its pulse is slowing
down. The throb of the city is
resuming its usual rhythm.
The fear which has frozen life
itself for the last 10 days is
beginning to wear off a little.
Today, under bright sun
shine, the crowds on the streets
no longer bolt and run for
cover at the sight of a troop
loaded army truck. Traffic on
the streets is normal, which in
AlgierS means impossible.
After a week of general
strikes, most of the shops are
open. And though piles of still
uncollected garbage throw a
malodorouS pail over many
parts of the city, the dead rat
has disappeared from the gutter
across the street from the hotel.
Huge Traffic Jams
The suburb of Bah ell Oued,
besieged by army troops for six
days, is beginning to pick up
the pieces. The siege has given
way to huge traffic jams as
boards of inquisitive residents
drive around the twisting streets
looking for the signs of battle.
