v i , ii' TIHE MICHIGAN DAILY ALGERIA: Williams Confers with Rebels In First U.S. Direct Contact TUNIS (A?--The United States yesterday brushed aside French sensitivities and established the first open, high level contact with the leaders of the Algerian Na- tionalist rebellion. 0. Mennen Williams; assistant secretary of state for African af- fairs, met for more than three hours with Algerian Rebel Foreign Minister Saad Dahlab and Infor- >I mation Minister Mohammed Ya- I zid. 4 The meeting was seen by some observers as a determined move by the United States to preserve some western influence among the rebel leadership, which has been swinging toward ,the Soviet bloc. Rebel Interpret The rebel government in exile, based in Tunis, interpreted the move as the first step toward eventual recognition. Algerian reb- el sources said Williams and his advisors acted as if they consid- ered the rebels as Algeria's future rulers. The move is bound to have an impact on the Algerian problem. The meeting took place at a time of growing tension in Algeria and preparations for new, rebel-called demonstrations. SPECIAL THIS WEEK BIG SAVINGS!! AljRCA VICTOR All.

Reuther brushed aside talk of a strike yesterday as he showed up at Chrysler Corp. for intensified negotiations on a new labor contract. .Asked about setting a strike deadline, he said "we, are not go- ing to make this decision now." Reuther said the union will re- evaluate the situation at the end of the week. Reuther indicated Chrysler, which has made no net profits so far this year, will be asked to ac- cept the pattern established in contracts with General Motors' Corp. and the Ford Motor Co. No Subsidization "We don't intend to have Chrys- ler workers subsidize the corpora- tion by accepting substandard conditions," Reuther said. "When Chrysler buys, a ton of steel, it doesn't get a discount because the company has problems." Reuther said he was trying for a quick settlement with Chrysler. His union struck GM for ' two weeks and Ford for 13 days be- fore wrapping up new three-year contracts. Reuther made his first appear- ance at Chrysler since the start of the auto industry's contract ne- gotiations three and a half months ago. He said yesterday's session was to set up a schedule of pro- cedure to expedite the negotia- tions. Move Quickly Reuther said the union would try to speed up settlement on working conditions at Chrysler plants. So far there has been none. Problems at the plant level brought on the GM and Ford strikes.j Soviets Announce Test to Citizens LONDON (A) - Moscow Radio and other Soviet information agencies got around last night to reporting Nikita S. Khrushchev's announcement that a 50-megaton nuclear bomb will be exploded by Russia at the end of the month. Thirteen hours after Moscow Radio announced the Congress had convened and that Khrush- chev was speaking, it carried the first mention of the Khrushchev statement on the bomb. The of- ficial Tass new agency came ,in a full hour later with its own sum- mary. Soviets Say Of Reds I Michigan Band, Boston Symphony, Joan Baer, Belafonte, Limeliters, Makeeba, Weavers, etc. 50 G.

Congo Foreign Minister Justin Bomboko issued the warning a few hours after the Soviet Union ac- cused the United Nations Congo command of by-passing the Secur- ity Council in negotiating a cease- fire. Bomboko told a news confer- ence, "we avoided making bilater- al agreements with certain powers because we wanted to preverit the cold war penetrating the Congo, but if UN action fails, we are pre- pared to take any means, to ac- cept any assistance to safeguard the territorial integrity of the Congo." End of Month Set for Blast Khrushchev Reveals Plans at Congress MOSCOW {P)--Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev announced yes- terday the Soviet Union is going to explode a 50 megaton nuclear bomb at the end of this month. A 50 megaton blast is equivalent to 50 million tons of TNT and about 2,500 times more powerful than the first atomic bomb ex- ploded at Hiroshima. He told the opening session of the 22nd Soviet Communist Par- ty Congress the weapon will be triggered on Oct. 30 or 31 and would be the last of the current test series, which began Sept. 1. The series has included a score of explosions, the largest previous one about 10 megatons. No Larger Khrushchev's announcement closed out the possibility that a 100 megaton bomb would be test- ed at this time. He declared: "We have a 100 million ton bomb, but we do not intend to ex- plode it." "If we happen to explode it in the wrong place, we might break our own windows," he explained to the nearly 5,000 delegates at the Party Congress in the Kremlin's giant new auditorium. He added, in a reference to the Diety in whom he says he has no belief: "May God grant that we never have to explode such a bomb." Reneges Hint Khrushchev thus backed off from the test of the superbomb at which he hinted on Aug. 31 when he announced the Soviet Union was breaking the atomic powers' moratorium on nuclear testing. He said at that time So- viet scientists had "worked out" 'projects for the construction of a 100 meg'aton bomb. Khrushchev's announcement of the forthcoming 50 megaton blast was made in a departure from the. text of his six-hour, 20-minute speech. It was heard by western correspondents who were cleared from the hall for early parts of the proceedings but admitted again when Khrushchev began to speak. Hours later, neither the official Soviet news agency/ nor Moscow radio had reported to the Russian people the statement about the 50 mnillion ton bomb. This was the first time the Rus- sians have given advance notice of a nuclear test, and the official 1 agencies perhaps waited for guid- ance.
