Extremists Reduced To Outlawry

Have a Cigar, Comrade

The Secret Army Organization in Algeria had a leu than fifty-fifty chance of succeeding in its fight to keep Algeria French, at the time of its formation.

Today there is almost no chance at all.

That fact was born out in Eresident Charles DeGaulles overwhelming policy endorsement by the French people. Ninty per cent of the valid votes in metropolitan France Sunday were in favor of the peace agreement DeGaulle had negotiate*^

Popular sympathies for the extreme rightwing faction did show indications of growth in the homeland at one point in the struggle. But European Frenchmen who had been so inclined were rudely awakened w'hen a terrorist unit w^aged open battle with the French Army.

It was apparent, then, that the OAS loyalties to France were of a shadow\v substance.

That, coupled with the costly futility of an unending war in Algeria;, sw ung the tide of sentiment.

DeGaulles personal popularity and political grip received a new stimulus in Sundays vote; a factor that cannot be discounted in the ponderously glow^ move toVard establishing an independent

Algeria.

There is no question but that the terrorists will continue to be a thorn in the side of Peace for some time to come. Their ranks number in the many thousands; they appear to be disciplined; they are trained in the arts of war. w - -

Add to those attributes their fanaticism and belief in the rightness of their cause, and they pose a real problem for the present and future.

But the OASs^has weaknesses, too.

Indiscriminate killing of Moslems can in time inspire a general sense of revulsion among European settlers who^-have opposed breaking up of the French empire and dread living under I\Joslem rule. But such incidents as the raiding of a hspital and shooting patients therein, does the cause of the OAS no good.

Absence of an economic base and a source of dependable supply poses yet another w^eakness for any force waging constant war.

The killings may go on, but the OAS has been reduced to an outlaw band that can only play an ever-shrinking role in Algerias future.

The American Cancer Society free, independent, voluntary and with a single focus, moves step-by step towards its ultimate goal of conquering cancer. The history of such free, independent, voluntary movements as those against polio and tuberculosis tells us that hope of success is both logical and justified.

I believe that through the American Cancer Society, as through other voluntary health agencies, I am helping combat the malignancy of Communism as well as a disease that makes too heavy inroads among men and women desperately needed at this juncture in the affairs of the world.

Locally it has been different.

The little Aslan naticm had a strcHig tradition of independence and wanted to hold on to it.

Batter Up

DeGaulle To Be More Difficult

By JAMES MARLOW

WASHINGTON (AP) The huge .. vote of cwifidence the French gave their president should make an Agerian solution easier^'Ttnd Charles de Gaulle more difficult.

He got triple approval for what he has done and may want to do in handling Algeria, France and the French allies. He has been a frequent pain to the Allies. Now he'll be a bigger one.

Yet. if France fell under the control of antidemocratic gov-> emment of the left or right it would be a disaster for the Western military alliance in Europe,

sired.

There was varied comment during the nearly two hours that the discussion ran.

One man, for instance, toward the end of the discussion told the group he thought the whole thing was ridiculous and that parents should see to their childrens upbringing.

I think my two teen-agers are home where they belong, he declared. I'm going home to see and thats where the rest of you ought to be.

Having so said, the man left his seat in the packed city courtroom and marched out the door. However, nobody else fol-low'ed his lead.

Your columnist toured Air-' lie Gardens near Wrightsville Beach during the Azalea Festival weekend and found it to be a beautiful place indeed. The flowers in the 15.5-acre gardens Were at their height this week, which is not always true during the festival week-end. As you ride along the twisting drives, huge banks of multi-colored azaleas loomed up suddenly among the trees and brush. The closely bordered roads suddenly widen out to reveal big garden areas carefully designed to be beautiful.

e of chaos and is probably 'the only Frenchman who could have produced an Algerian solution without civil war.

Under the old French constitution the parties, through their parliamentary seats, ran the government. They ran it into the ground. wTecking one government after another.

Between the end of the war and the time De Gaulle took over in 1958, France had had a score of governments. When he came in. De Gaulle got the French people to approve a new coastitution giving the executive, him. far more power. - Under this constitution, in a major case like Algeria, he can bypass Parliament and go directly to the people for approval in a national referendum. This is what he did Sunday.

He asked the people to vote yes or no on the question pf approval for his plan for peace and Independence in Algeria where the Moslems outnumber the Europeans, mo.stly French, nine to one.

That the French people wanted peace, there was no doubt. The financial cost of the war on them was- $2 million a day to support a 500.(X)0-man force in Algeria.

There was no room on the ballot for them to vote anything but yes or no. This provided De Gaulle with an excellent chance for asking approval on more than just Algeria.

One of his promised policies is to modernize the F r e n c !i army before the end of the year, with atomic weapons. He promised this Friday night. It was his answer to those who hoped he might be willing to merge French forces with hi.s neighbors in a truly West European defense.

This Is part of his general reluctance to yield any French .sovereignty, either in a mih-. tary wa> oiL^eveiv in riade. To do so. he suggested, would make France a backseat nation.

The Allies 'might have guessed how painful he was going to be from the moment he took office four years ago. for he said at that time: I am a man

One college student who spoke maintained a newspaper letter to the editor had said college students are not mature enough to read the type literature under discussion.

But with all of the beauty and glamor *of the Azalea Festival there must be tragedy.

Thus Saturday night we pulled up to the bridge leading from Carolina Beach. The red lights were blinking and the warning bell was clang^g hut the bridge was still in riace on the roadway.

That Was Saturday night. The next day Sunday a bright sun shone on all the peace and solitude that millions of beautiful full blooming flowers can bring to a given area.

TO Tllfe EDITOR:

Other Editors Saying. America's Queen

An article appeared in The Dally Reflector. April 6, 1962, stating that I acted as a spokesman for a group protesting the Public Housing locations.^

By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY Copyright, 1B62, King Features Syndicate, Inc.

The sudden exuberance of movements is undoubtedly due to discontent and unhappiness, particularly among older folks and professional men and women. This discontent expresses itself In many ways and may easily become explosive, particularly should this .country suffer from excessive un^ploy-ment and lessening of Income from small investments.

Much of the discontent is reflected by stimulated and accelerated movements which must be regarded as selfishly organized by pitchmen and money-grubbers. But that does not explain why -so many fine and intelligent persons join some of the wildest movements, both communist and Hra-Rfhtist. Only discontented persons can believe much of the Inaccurate and untruthful literature scattered about as evidence of schemes and plots which do not , exist. Using tactics long practiced by Communists, the Ultra^ Rightists smear and defame even those who are most actively antl-Communlst, in order that they may spread their own line more effectively.

The hearing of General Edwin Walker was a sad di.splay of unprepared assertions. There is no question in my mind but that the general was jobbed. If he committed a military wrong, he should have been court-martialed. in which circumstance, he would have been protected by law. At the Congressional hearing, he seemed not only unprepared but confused arid his statements, as reported in the press, indicated that he' made charges Whlch he could not substantiate. It was an unfortunate performance by a man who had had a noble career In the service of his country. It has done the con-servative cause great harm because mere assertion without substantiation leads to ridicule and renunciation.

Regarding the Left, Attorney General Robert Kennedy said In Los Angeles:

The greatest danger is not from the Communist Party, but from the espionage committed by representatives of the Cora-munist-bloc countries here.

He also said that the American Communist Party has no following and has been disregarded by the American people for many, many years.

Such statemenis. are true and although they seem to contrar diet others made by J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI, who makes the correct point that In any analysis of the Communist situation, numbers do not count, he also holds rthat the greatest menace of the Party Is its service as an espionage force for Soviet Russia. T find that these apparent differences of view are identical but each puts the emphasis bn one phase of the problem.

Out of these statements, both Leftists and Ultra-Rightists have attempted to make a great issue and to give the impression that a fundamental quarrel exists between the At-

We are informed by leased wire whenever Mrs. Kennedy changes from sleek black to stunning white, whenever pearls give way to diamonds.

Worst of all, the most inconsequential statements of the First Lady. . .are reported with apparent aw'e. Jackies earth-shaking assertions like, I have a little girl about your age, or Thats a pretty name, are enough to send the press corps, galloping to the nearest telegraph office.

A lot of the world has the idea that Americans are so rich from having stolen so much wealth from the poor Latin Americans and the poor Africans and the poor Asiatics, etc. that foreign aid doesnt hurt us a bit and the only crying shame is that we dont really loosen up and atone for our material-'Istic sins. . .

Somehow, it would seem, our own self-interest would lie in trying to convineetbese people that we are a hard-working race who built an empire out of a wilderiiess Uy getting up early and plowing .straight and chopping with a will. Also, that we have the highest rate of income taxes on earth and the most magnificent national debt.

Reflector City Editor, quoting Mr. Charles Howard, Chairman, Federal Housing Authority, as follows, Under consideration as a location for the white units is 8-10 acres in an area bounded on the west by Line Ave., the south by Chestnut St.. the east by Boyd Ave., and the north by Farmville Blvd. . .In fact, he noted both areas are tentative. There is no assurance that the housing will even be in these areas, he emphasized."

I then read a letter which I have in my possession from the Public Housing Admihistration, Washington, D. C., dated March 30, 1962, stating, sites were reported having been selected on October 1, 1961.

After reading this letter to the Council. I presented it to Mayor Charies King to read.

What we'warit to know now is why these areas are being referred to as tentative locations when We have the proof from the highest Federal Housing Authority that the sites were reported having been selected on October 1, 1961 a little more than six months ago!

The law now requires the registration of the Communi.st Party and the indictment of its officers who fail to obey the law. Two have been brought to the courts. The preparation of a case, so that it will hold up in the courts under the rules of evidence, takes some doing and it does not matter what you or I or everybody knows to be true, under our system of law the case must be substantiated by permissible evidence. If one case is lost, a precedent is set for other cases. Therefore, the wheels of justice grind slowly. But they do grind.^

The FBI. under J. Edgar Hoover, has achieved much^ in the exposure of Communists. If the Department of Justice prefers to hit at those engaged in espionage rather than those devoted to agitation.
