WASHINGTON (M)-The feder-
al government yesterday ordered
armed marshals and deputized of-
ficers into Alabama in an effort
to stem mounting racial violence.
At the, same time, President,
John F. Kennedy called upon Ala-
bama officials and the mayors
of Birmingham and. Montgomery
to exercise their authority to pre-
vent further bloodshed.
Acting on a third front, the gov-
ernment asked the federal court
in Montgomery to issue injunc-
tions against the Ku Klux Klan,
the National States Rights Party
and other individuals to stop in-
terference with "peaceful inter-
state travel by bus."
In a rapid-fire series of actions,
Kennedy said in a .statement is-
sued by the White House that he
had instructed the Justice De-
partment "to take all necessary
steps based on their information
and investigation."
A half-hour later, Atty. Gen.
Robert Kennedy said he expected
more than 400 men, described as
"nonmilitary officers," would be in
Alabama by noon today. They are
being sent by chartered flights
from other southern states and
the District of Columbia.

.French .End
'Offensive'
In AlIgeria
EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (P)-
France yesterday ordered cessation
of all offensive action in Algeria
but the Algerian rebel leadership
rejected the decision.
A spokesman for the rebel dele-
gation at the French - Algerian
peace talks which opened here
yesterday, termed the French deci-
sion "blackmail," "propaganda"
and a "diversionary maneuver."
Unilateral Decision
"The decision was unilateral,"
spokesman Abdelmajid Rhida Ma-
lek told a news conference in
Geneva after the first session of
peace talks at Evian. "We reject
all unilateral decisions. We are
here to negotiate bilateral ac-
cords."
This statement echoed one by
the rebel government in Tunis,
which said any cease-fire should
be negotiated by both parties.
The French order, which leaves
the French free to shoot if shot at,
was made effective for a month. At
the end of that time, the French
said, they would reconsider the
situation in the light of the peace
talks here.
Fight Goes On
But Malek's statement that the
six and one-half year rebel fight
goes on cast a pall over the infant
negotiations.
The order for the half-million
man French army to halt offensive
operations in Algeria was made
effective at 6 p.m. Saturday.
French delegate General Jean
Morin said in Algiers he hoped the
rebels would follow the French
lead. But Malek said a proviso in
the French order leaving French
troops the right to take defensive
action could be used as a pretext
by the French to continue offen-
sive operations.
As the peace talks got under
way in this Lake Geneva resort
city, France also announced that
rebel Deputy Premier Ahmed Ben
Bella was being transferred from
his fortress prison in the Isle
D'Aix to a luxurious chateau in
the Loire River valley.
Subcommittee
Hears Brazer.
Federal incentives for stepped
up public construction programs
should vary with the extent of
unemployment in local communi-
ties, Prof. Harvey Brazer said Fri-
day before the Subcommittee on
Employment and Manpower of
the Senate Committee on Bank-
ing and Currency.
Federal programs to reduce
joblessness should recognize the
wide variations in unemployment
at both the state and local level,
he said. This is not done in Sen-
ate Bill 986, a proposal which
would make federal grants total-
ling up to $1 billion available to
state and local communities.
"In the absence of bold govern-
mental measures, 1961. will be a
year in which unemployed will
average more than six per cent."
There are few signs of any "buoy-
ant expansion" in the economy
for the next few months," he
added.
By HARRY PERLSTADT 1
South Africa, which leaves the
British Commonwealth of Na-
tions on May 31 to become an in-
dependent republic, may be the "
next trouble spot in Africa.
"South Africa is the most hope-
less of all the African countries,"
Austin Albu, a Laborite member of
Parliament, said here this week.
"There is bound to be most seri-
ous troubles. The Africans (non-
whites) are organizing a general
strike for the end of the month
when South Africa leaves the
Commonwealth.
South Africa withdrew a re-
quest for renewed membership in
the Commonwealth as a republic
last March at a Prime Ministers'
meeting. At that time South Afri-
can Prime Minister Hendrik F.
Verwoerd said that "it is clear that
in view of the majority of Com-
monwealth prime ministers, ,after
the lead given by a group of Afro-
Asian nations, South Africa will.
no longer be welcomed in the
Commonwealth."
Denies Discrimination
Verwoerd also denied that there
was "discrimination against and
oppression of the non-white peo-
ples of South Africa."
Albu, however, holds a differ-
ent view. "The Prime Ministers'
conference tried to change the
apartheid policy of total separa-
tion but with little success. Apart-
heid is dogmatic and its support-
ers act out of blind, bigoted fana-
ticism. They will not look at the
facts: the number of Africans and
their power. The economy cannot
be run without Africans in the
towns," he said.
The government, in anticipation
of the rumored strike and dem-
onstrations, has banned all pub-
lic meetings except church services
until June 26. The police are
rounding up thousands of non-
white "subversives" in non-stop
Iraids.
Stirred Tea Cup
If the strikes do occur, the re-
sults will "make the Congo look
like a stirred-up tea cup," Albu
said. "There is going to be more
incidents like Sharpeville."
Over seventy Africans were
killed and two hundred wounded
when police fired on demonstra-
tors at Sharpeville in March of
last year. The demonstrators were
protesting the pass laws which

required all non-whites to carry
passes wherever they went.
"The problems in Angola on the
border is approaching state vio-
lence," Albu said. "No one doubts
that the Africans in South Afri-
ca will be supported by independ-
ent African states and they will
get arms from somewhere."
"The Africans in South Africa
have more education and a high-
er standard of living than else-
where in Africa. The apartheid
policy degrades them. Unless eco-
nomic losses and pressures from
the outside for the government to
change its policy or cause the gov-
ernment to be defeated in an
election, South Africa will be, by
far, the worst African situation to
date," Albu said.

News Censor
For Securit
WASHINGTON P)-The White
House said Friday President John
F. Kennedy has suggested that
newspapers select a representative
to advise them on news which
might affect national security.
Kennedy's press secretary, Pierre
Salinger, said the President had
proposed at a meeting with a group
of editors on May 9 that the press
"might want to appoint someone
in whom it would have confidence
to check with in case questions
involving national security came
up."
The May 9 meeting was a fol-
low-up to a speech Kennedy made
on April 27 to the American News-
paper Publishers Association in
New York. In the speech, the
President called on-the press to
consider a measure of self-censor-
ship.
