French Imp ison Leader Insurrection Of Algerian Challe Flies To France, Surrenders Seek General's Aides In Camp Near Algiers ALGIERS (AP) - The leader of the four-day Algeriaft army in- surrection was clapped into a French prison yesterday and his lieutenants fled into hiding as President Charles de Gaulle re- asserted his rule over Algeria. Gen. Maurice Challe, retired air force officer and leader of the in- surrection, flew to Paris and sur- rendered. He was taken to Sante Prison in the capital to await trial and a possible death sen- tence. Challe's top aides, Gens. Raoul Salan, Edmond Jouhad and Andre Zeller, were believed hiding at a paratroop camp outside Algiers. Troops Seek Leaders Troops were ordered to bring them and three colonels before a special military court on charges of organizing insurrection and usurping power. This is the charge Challe faces. De Gaulle has not yet disclosed whether Challe, stripped of his' rank before he surrendered, will be tried as a soldier or as a civil- ian. On this issue could depend whether the 55-year-old officer faces a firing squad or the quil- lotine if convicted. The possibility. of a death sentence was largely discounted in Paris, however. Fills Vacuum De Gaulle moved quickly to fill the vacuum created in Algeria af- ter the revolt' collapsed. -Louis Joxe, French minister for Alger- ian affairs, and Gen. Jean Olie arrived by plane from Paris to take control. They met imme- diately with de Gaulle's civilian administrator, Jean Morin, who a few hours earlier had been a prisoner of the insurgents. In Paris, Premier Michel Debre warned Frenchmen that the in- surrection in Algeria might force the government to impose greater discipline on the nation. In a nationwide television and radio speech Debre said the mili- tary opposition might strike again. "If the government in coming months appears tougher in re- gard to certain opportunities, or in regard to certain interests, tell yourselves plainly that it is to restore to the state a firmness which the epoch in which we live renders Indispensable," Debre said. JETS: Plan Draws New Protest WASHINGTON (P) - Top Air Force leaders yesterday disputed an administration decision to cut back development of the super- sonic jet bomber. Secretary of the Air Force Eu- gene M. Zuckert and Gen. Thomas D. White, chief of staff, said they had protested the reduction when it was proposed but they were overruled by Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara and the White House. The two officials told a Sen- ate appropriations subcommittee that the B-70 program should be pushed ahead as rapidly as possi- ble rather than reduced to pro- duction of a few prototype air- craft. But both said they supported President John F. Kennedy's mili- tary budget as it went to Congress. Chairman Dennis Chavez (D- NM) indicated that his subcom- mittee may not be willing to abide by the' administration's decision on the B-70. "We're the ones who make the money available," Chavez said. "We don't have to follow the Budg- et Bureau." Chavez told Zuckert and White he thought it was a mistake to cut $138 million from the B-70 program by holding it to an ex- perimental aircraft. If no basic change is made in the program, Zuckert said, the B-70 could be operational within six or seven years. Chavez esti- mated the time element at 10 to 12 years. Seek Ban Of Support, In Virginia WASHINGTON (W)-The Jus- tice Department yesterday asked a federal court to bar state sup- port of any public schools in Vir- ginia until Prince Edward County, Va., schools are reopened on a racially integrated basis. The Prince Edward schools shut down after they were ordered inte- grated in 1959. A system of pri- vate schools has been operated for white children. Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy announced he has filed a motion in the Federal District Court in Richmond, asking leave to inter- vene as a co-plaintiff in a de- segregated suit originally brought by Negro high school students in 1952. The Justice Department noted that the schools in the county were closed in June 1959, after the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond ordered the schools integrated. Since that tinie, the department said, the county's Negro children have had no formal education, but private schools have been oper- ated for about 1,400 white chil- dren with state financial assist- ance and through contributions. from private citizens. Jobless Begin Stamp Plan WELCH, W. Va. gp) - Jobless men and some wives stood in line yesterday to get their names on the list for a new kind of govern- ment help in the struggle to feed their families. On the first day for applications, they were signing up for President John F. Kennedy's experimental food stamp program. It is being tried out here in and seven other unemployment - plagued localities in other states. The stamps will be redeemed at stores for food, and the govern- ment will reimburse the grocer,. COQUILHATVILLE, The Congo OIP) -- President Moise Tshombe of Katanga was dramatically arrested yesterday after he scornfully walk- ed out of a summit conference of Congolese politicians. The leader of the Congo's rich- est province was seized by sol- diers of the Leopoldville central government of President Joseph' Kasavubu. He was preparing to board a plane for Elisabethville, his capital. (In Leopoldville, Congolese army authorities believed the arrest of Tshombe was an emergency and. a strictly temporary measure to prevent his quitting the confer- ence. They were convinced the Katanga leader soon will be re- leased.) Leaves Conference Tshombe stormed out of the con- ference after tongue lashing other Congolese politicans as bunglers interested more in their personal. comfort than in solving the Con- go's problems. He bitterly denounced them as "vassals of the United States." As he left, Foreign Minister Justine Bomboko was announcing the cen- tral government's agreement on a UN return to the key port of Matadi and an end of the Con- golese stranglehold on UN supply lines. A UN garrison of Sudanese troops was forced out of the Con- T'hird Minister Quits Frondizi BUENOS AIRES (M)-Argentine Foreign Minister Diogenes Tabo- ada resigned last night, He was the thid member of President Arturo Frondizi's cabi- net to hand in his resignation since Sunday in what appeared to be a developing government cri- sis. The resignation followed a de- nial by Taboada hours earlier of reports that he planned to step down. Informed sources then had claimed his successor had already been chosen. Taboada's resignation followed those of Alvaro Alsogaray, minis- ter of economics, and Alberto Con- stantini, minister for public works and service, Alsogaray said he had) been asked by Frondizi to quit. go river port more than six weeks ago. More than 95 per cent of UN supplies entered the Congo by way of Matadi. Threatens Turmoil But even as the Matadi agree- ment held out prospects of a smoother course for Congo affairs, Tshombe's arrest once more threatened fresh turmoil. Twenty Congolese soldiers sur- rounded Tshombe's presidential party in the airport terminal building. Tshombe, his foreign minister, Evariste Kimba, and two civilian advisers, were starting to leave the terminal to board their private DC4 aircraft. Others in the Tshombe motorcade were turned back from the airport at the gates. Soldiers in limousines roared along the palm-lined airport road stoping all cars and rounding up Belgian and Congolese members of Tshombe's delegation. Tshombe and 280 other Con- golese politicians came to this sleepy Congo riverside capital of Equator province to discuss plans for a loose confederation of in- dependent states, a plan favored both by Tshombe and Kasavubu.

PROMISE TO CUBANS: Soviets Renew Pledge ToAid.gainst Attack UNITED NATIONS 01P)-Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian A. Zorin insisted yesterday that the Soviet Union would keep its promise to help Cuba against at- tack. He was asked at a news con- ference if the Soviet Union was committed to defend Cuba in the same degree Britain was commit- ted to defend Poland before World War II. "The Soviet government," he replied, "views problems of assist- ance in a more serious light than the United Kingdom viewed its commitment of assistance to Po- land." "If the Soviet Union says it Defense Unit Expels Cuban WASHINGTON (1P)-Cuba was voted out of secret sessions of the 21-nation Inter-American Defense Board yesterday. The board is a military group. that meets here every week or two to plan defense strategy for the Western Hemisphere. It voted 12-1 to bar Prime Min- ister Fidel Castro's representatives as long as Cuba continues its "evi- dent alliance" with the Communist bloc. Cuba cast the lone vote against the resolution, which was offered by the United States, Mexico,1 Venezuela, Ecuador and Chile ab- stained and Brazil reserved its; vote. Three other countries were absent. I will extend assistance, it will ex- tend assistance. It will not act like Britain acted before the war in respect to Poland." Britain declared war on Ger- many on Sept. 3, 1939, two days after Germany declared war on Poland. Zorin did not explain how anybody could be more serious. He also did not say just how the Soviet Union would help Cuba if the United States attacked. Last summer Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev threatened retaliation by rockets against the United States if it attacked Cuba. He later said he meant symbolic rockets. But he did not repeat the rocket threat when Cuban refugees invaded Cuba with Unit- ed, States encouragement April 17 in a vain effort to overthrow pro- Communist Prime Minister Fidel Castro. He did promise all neces- sary assistance. Expresses Hope Zorin expressed hope that Pres- ident John F. Kennedy's investi- gation of the Central Intelligence Agency "will lead to'complete li- quidation of the aggressive acts which the CIA fostered, prepared and, in the case of Cuba, carried out." Unless Cuba is left free to chart its own course, he said, there will be "serious strife and conflict whose limits cannot be predeter- mined." Asked if he saw any link be- tween peace in Laos and peace in Cuba, he said aggressive acts against Cuba would have an im- pact on the state of affairs in Laos. r" ±r 6 a } t iF B ' ' i i f M4 :?: 'k ..t.ti { y k {. :: .v "' iT T ' . i 1.:i .r .;ti i4h'": :' V.A::; 000 t / 4/ / I Juniors go into summer in our no-fuss dacron poly- ester and cotton fashioi by Pacemaker. A full. skirted beauty with the I I World News Roundup J By The Associated Press JERUSALEM-Adolf Eichmann was portrayed in court yesterday as a man who once helped Jews before he came a relentless Nazi evecutioner hunting for new ways to exterminate .them. A surprised stir swept the court where Eichmann is on trial for his life when Franz Mayer, for- mer Zionist leader in. Berlin, said he frequently sought and obtained aid from the Gestapo officer. In 1937, Mayer said, he won help from Eichmann for certain emissaries from Palenstein who came to Germany in connection with the Jewish emigration move- ment. WASHINGTON - The House yesterday passed President John F. Kennedy's $394 million bill for aid to depressed areas, defeating a Republican-led attack on its fi- nancing methods. The roll call vote was 223-193. Opponents, who included a num- ber of Democrats, said defeat of the compromise version which was before the House would force an- other conference with the Senate. * * s WASHINGTON - Consumer price changes balanced out in March to leave living costs un- changed at their record level of February.
