premier early today.
a seizure of authority beyond the
normal discretionary scope of a
general officer.
It capped a day of violence
directed against the transitory
French government of Paris and
both French and American es
tablishments in Algeria, the
teeming, violence-ridden capi
tal of French North Africa.
The U.S. Information Agency li
brary was wrecked.
Gen. Jacques Massu, command
er of parachute troops forces in
Algeria, proclaimed himself head
of a committee of public salva
tion and declared he will not leave
until a similar regime is set up
in Paris.
In effect, Massu's bid for iron
rule puts his military group
against the Algerian rebels and
against any French politicians
showing any sign of moder
ation toward them.
Yesterday's rioting erupted in
protest to Pierre Pflimlm's bid in
Paris to win approval as French
premier. A shouting mob demand
ing tough French rule in this
North African area smashed the
USIA office in the heart of Al
giers and went on to seize the
central government building.
The rioters rammed a truck
through the iron gates of the
15-story government building.
Then they stormed inside and
hurled government documents
from windows.
Massu was shouted down when
he spoke to the mob from a sec
ond-story balcony in an effort to
get them to quit the government
building.
First Word said the committee
was ,charged with mantaining re
lations between the population
and the military forces.

Furman Lists
'Freeloaders/
Hired by State
HARRISBURG (. l E9—Lt. Gov.
Roy E. Furman made public Tues
day a list of 314 out-of-state per
sons he said were hired by the
Leader administration. Furman
described them as "carpetbag
gers."
The annual payroll for these
persons, the independent candi-I
date for the Democratic guberna
torial nomination said, amounts
to a "staggering 1 1 / 2 million dol
lars annually."
He promised he would fire them
all if he is elected governor.
Meanwhile, the Democratic or
ganization candidates, Gov. Lead
er and Pittsburgh Mayor David
L. Lawrence, spoke at a night
rally here.
Leader, candidate for U.S. Sen
ator, claimed Pennsylvania made
its greatest educational gains in a
generation during his administra
tion. It could have done better,
he added, except for a hostile, Re
publican-controlled legislature.
Lawrence, candidate for gover
nor, told the same rally that he
would continue the same "stand
ards of good government" of the
Leader administration.
"All of the accomplishments of
the past 40 months come not only
from the desire to build Pennsyl
vania stronger but also from the
pattern of conduct of state gov
ernment which has been de
veloped during the Leader admin
istration," he said.
Senate Passes
Jobless Funds
WASHINGTON (ill—The Sen
ate last night passed 46-36 and
sent to the House a bill making
available $375 million in federal
funds to cities and rural areas
with chronic unemployment.
The depressed areas bill had
strong bipartisan Senate support
although the Eisenhower admin
istration opposed it with the argu
ment that the amounts of federal
aid authorized were excessive.
Sponsors said it would offer
hope for an economic comeback
to about 70 major industrial areas
over the nation and to as many
as 300 rural counties.
The sponsors did not recom
mend it as an anti-recession mea
sure since it involves a complex,
long-range program, but said that
it should have some secondary
effects in relieving current un
employment.
The bill authorizes $3OO million
in revolving loans—sloo million
each for industrial redevelopment,
for rural redevelopment and for
community facilities to enable an
area to attract new industry.
asserts the United States will as
sist with armed forces any nation
or group of nations threatened by
any country controlled by inter
national commu n i s m, if the
threatened nation requests it.
Malik said a Lebanese note of
protest was sent to the U.A.R.
government Tuesday.
- "Motivated by absolute good
will toward all, we will call up
on our Arab brothers in the
U.A.R. to desist from interven
ing in our internal affairs," 'he
said.
President Camille Chamoun
called in the ambassadors of the
Western Big Three for talks.
Demonstrators roamed Beirut
in organized bands, smashing
shops and chasing people from the
streets. They manned flaming
barricades and brought the city's
business life to a standstill.
Several explosions rocked Bei
rut and at least one fire broke out.
Ike's Foreign Aid Plan
Passes House Showdown
WASHINGTON (JP)—President Eisenhower's $3,603,000,-
000 foreign aid program survived a series of showdown votes
in the House yesterday and headed toward passage, possibly
today.
An attempt by Rep. William Cobner (D.-Miss.) to knock
out the economic aid section of
the bill and reduce the program
by sl' billion was defeated 102-
59 on a standing vote.
Then on another standing vote
the house rejected 73-41 an
amendment by Rep. Alvin M.
Bentley (R-Mich) to cut $340 mil
lion fro mthe $1 billion proposed
for military aid to 41 countries in
the fiscal year beginning July 1.
The Bentley amendment ha d
been billed as the rallying point
for opponents of the measure and
perhaps was the severest test for
the administration's supporters.
In another major vote, the
House defeated 91-60 a move
by Rep. E. Ross Adair (R-Ind) to
strip $lOO million from the $775
millions proposed in economic
aid to support foreign defense
programs.
The congressmen shouted down
an amendment by Rep. Roy W.
Wier (D-Minn) to knock out all
military aid.
A proposal by Rep. Gardner
R. Withrow (R-Wis) to give sev
eral million more dollars to the
Dominican Republic. Haiti and
Cuba for antisubmarine defense
was ruled out of order.
Then the House adjourned un
til noon Wednesday when the
legislators will return to finish
work on the bill.
Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr. of
Massachusetts, the House Repub
lican leader, took the floor with
an appeal against any last min
ute cutting.
Influenza Sufferers
May Be Immune
HARRISBURG (W)—N early 2
million Pennsylvanians who suf
fered with Asian Flu during the
fall and winter months have a bet
ter chance of escaping the virus
this fall, the State Health Depart
ment said Tuesday.
Dr. W. D. Schrack Jr., director
of communicable disease control,
said the one to two million per
sons who have had Asian Flu
probably have built up an immu
nity that would tend to preclude
a recurrence.
Many other persons in the state
have received some degree of im
munity through vaccinations, Or.
Schrack said, and the problem
generally is not expected to be as
great this fall. However, he said,
residents still could consider an
other round of vaccinations this
fall to afford them extra immuni
zation.

now are adequately protecting
Vice President Nixon and his par
ty against any new mob violence.
Press Secretary James C. Hag
erty said such reports have been
received from the American Em
bassy in Caracas.
Hagerty made that statement at
a news conference shortly after
the U.S. government announced
dispatch of four companies of
troops to American bases in the
general area of Venezuela as a
precautionary step.
The Defense Department ex
plained they were being sent in
case the Venezuelan government
should request their cooperation.
Six Americans in all were in
jured. Secret serviceman John T.
Sherwood, who suffered a chipped
tooth in the stoning at Lima last
Thursday, twice pulled his gun,
but did not use it.
Venezuela's f or e i g n minister,
himself hurt by splintered glass
from the windows of Nixon's car,
apologized for the outburst on the
spot.
Mrs. Nixon sat looking straight
ahead as her car was dented
with atones and its windows
smeared with eggs and spit.
"She was as brave as any man
I've ever seen," an aide said.
The uncontrolled youths were
finally sent helter-skelter by a
special troop detachment which
showered them with tear gas.
