made contact with the Algerian
nationaliStS. The GAS wants to
negotiate the future of Algeria
directly with the MoslemS and
apparently has called a truce in
the terrorism which has plagued

uled to vote on independence

EX-PRESIDENT EISENHOW-
Err attacked the Kennedy admin
STATIONS economic program at
a news conference Friday in
Washington. After budding with
other COP leaders he said they
were deeply concerned about
The direction in which our econ
omy seems to be going" He said
TOO much power is being put in 4
the hands of the federal govern
ment, and that some people seem
to be losing their faith in the
ability of individual Americans
70 make their own decisions. The
way to stop this trend, he added,
is to elect a Republican House
this year land that is what we
expect to do"
HIGH ALTITUDE nuclear tests
were rescheduled to begin over
the Pacific Monday morning after
being twice postponed. The first
test was an apparent failure
when the rocket bearing the
nuclear device was deliberately
destroyed without a nuclear ex-
plosion. These tests will help to
determine the effects of high alti-
tude nuclear explosions on radio
communications and radar. For
eign scientists have strongly op-
posed these tests because they
might upset the recently discover
ed Van Allen radiation belt be-
fore it is fully investigated but
a committee of U. S. scientists
were of the opinion that this belt
would return to normal over a
period of time.
FALLOUT from nuclear tests
have Slightly increased the health
hazards faced by Americans,
The federal radiation council re-
ported Friday. The chances of
birth defects in future generations
has Slightly increased and also
possibly the chances that a per-
son now living may get leukemia
Or bone cancer. However, the
number of persons so affected
will be very small in comparison
with those who have similar de-
fects from other causes.
