spected international
treaties with France" but
"the French move raises
the question of the value

1958 and ratified by both

the release, an anony-

the French Library in Tel

Daoud, arrested in
Paris last Friday, was
freed on Tuesday after a
four-judge panel ruled his
detention illegal. Police
escorted him to the air-
port where he boarded an
Algerian Airline flight to
Algiers.
The judges, who delib-
erated -less than 20 mi-
nutes, based their decision
to release iDaoud on a
technicality. The court
ruled that the Bavarian
state police request for the
terrorist's arrest — which
reached Paris some 12
hours after he was ap-
prehended by agents of
the DST, France's
counter-espionage agency
— was "incomplete" be-
cause it was not accom-
panied by an official gov-
ernment request for-

ruled that Israel's request
to detain Daoud was leg-
ally unfounded. There was
no immediate elaboration
of the reasons for that rul-
ing.

You work hard for your money.
So do I.
But I don't think that a low price
alone is enough to get you to

When you visit Glassman Olds,
we'll help you pick out a car that's

Then we'll quote you a fair price. A
price as low as any in town.
Maybe lower.

our handshakes just as friendly
