PARIS—Algerian Jews were
reported here Wednesday from
Algiers to be preparing for a
new and unprecedented storm
of violence expected to follow
the imminent announcement of
agreement between France and
Algrian rebel leaders on a cease-
fire for t he strife-wracked
French colony.
No more than 5,000 Jews
were believed left in Constan-
tine as Jews of that city de-
parted in haste before the cease
fire was to be announced.
Unable to - quit Algeria be-
cause of the prohibition
against "desertion" decreed
by the OAS, the French under-

ground organization fighting

Constantine Jews were re-
ported to be seeking tempo-
rary refuge in Oran and Al-
giers which both have big
enough European populations
to better able the fleeing Jews
to cope with intercommunal
strife.
However, both Oran and Al-
giers in recent weeks have been
left without Jewish communal
leaders and with little material
resources. Less than a dozen
rabbis are still in Algeria.
Whenever lay leaders have been
able to flee to France they have
done so. .
It was reported that even
Oran's famous Jewish "self de-

fense units" which repulsed a
Moslem mob last Rosh Has-
hanah have disintegrated during
the last few weeks. Many of its
members were reported to have
joined OAS squads, while others
embittered by events have re-
tired from Jewish communal
affairs.
The disappointment of Al-
gerian Jews over the mount-
ing violence accompanying the
move toward a cease fire was
reported typical of all non-
Moslems in Algeria. Both
Arabs and Europeans were
actively preparing for the
ceasefire announcement.
Many Europeans were busy
surrounding their homes with
barbed wire and shop keepers
put up specially reinforced steel
curtains to protect their store
windows.
