TERRORISTS IN ALGERIA
(Rec. 10 p.m.) PARIS, May 20. The French Ministry of the Interior has decreed an extension of the sevenweeks’ old state of emergency in the Aures Mountains in Algeria to other parts of the Constantine Department. The decree empowers the Government, in its efforts to quell terrorism in Algeria, to ban road traffic, expel undesirables, close shops and forbid public meetings. The state of emergency was declared by the National Assembly on April 1. Mr Jacques Soustelle, the French Governor-General of Algeria, made a helicopter flight yesterday over the rugged Aures Mountains—the hideout of an estimated 1500 armed outlaws. Later he conferred with senior French Government advisers, some of whom had flown from Paris especially earlier yesterday to help plan the next stage in the fight against terrorism. The outlaws yesterday ambushed a forest warden and his daughter in Aures, near Batna, shot the warden and let the girl go free.
