De Gaulle’s Plans
(Rec. 11 p.m.). PARIS, January 25.
President de Gaulle’s office announced shortly after his radio appeal today that he would go to Algeria on February 5, as already scheduled, and that there would be no change in his plans in this respect. In Paris, the Prime Minister, the Defence Minister, the Minister of the Interior and many key officials spent the night in their offices keeping an anxious eye on any further possible developments in Algiers. Officials in Paris indicated that if the riot leaders abandoned their attempt at insurrection, it was possible that no further action would be taken against them. But if they persisted, any taken prisoner would find themselves facing charges of high treason. The population in Metropolitan France has followed the development of the disturbances without much sympathy for the rioters. As a precaution, all meetings in France have been prohibited, but apart from a handful of sympathisers with the Algiers extremists in Paris and possibly the Communist Party, there seems little reason to expect any antiGovernment agitation.
