TERRORISTS IN ALGERIA

(Rec. 10 p.m.) CONSTANTINE (Algeria), Aug. 11. Foreign legionnaires used medium artillery yesterday to subdue a terrorist gang near Batna. Twelve rebels were killed. The legionnaires were called in after the gang ambushed a French patrol, killing a soldier. They decimated the terrorists with concerted fire from 75 millimetre guns —rarely used so far in Algeria by the French security forces. In another clash on Tuesday night near Deloued, seven rebels and four legionnaires were killed.

1 The Communist New China News Agency today accused the United states of not having “adopted effective measures to protect the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission members and called on it to ensure resumption by the commission of its functions in South Korea m accordance with the stipulations of the armistice agreement.” The agency said the State Department last Tuesday “confirmed that the frenzied efforts of the Dr. Syngman Rhee clique to coerce the commission to withdraw from South Korea were backed by Washington.” The agency said the State Department’s statement “falsely charged” that the Communists have been frustrating efforts to maintain the ceasefire agreement.
