...little more than a formality. What really matters is the S.A.O. For months, its gunmen have been indiscriminately shooting and bombing Moslems. As the cease-fire drew near last week, the S.A.O. killers concentrated on the relatively few Moslem intellectuals. In Algiers, a carload of S.A.O. terrorists raided the Algerian Social Center and coldbloodedly mowed down six educators-three of them Europeans-including Moslem Author Mouloud Feraoun, a close friend of the late Algerian-born author, Albert (The Plague) Camus. Next, S.A.O. gunmen attacked drugstores, killing seven Moslem pharmacists...
...Algiers, the Place du Gouvernement, a sun-baked square between the casbah and the harbor, is known as "L'Abattoir" (the slaughterhouse). There, during the bloody struggle for Algerian independence, Moslem terrorists have taken a steady and fearful toll of Europeans. Last week, L'Abattoir butchers claimed two fresh victims in as many days.

The Algérie Française wing of the party will defect, and 26 U.N.R. Deputies from Algerian constituencies will disappear with independence. The Communists may gain seats by arguing that they had been for an Algerian settlement before anyone else...
...party politics. Says De Gaulle: "The President must never be the leader of a parliamentary majority." - Also in the cards is a Cabinet shuffle. Major anticipated casualty is waspish little Premier Michel Debre. Cool to NATO and (until called upon to implement De Gaulle's policy) against Algerian independence. Debre has been the lightning rod of the Gaullist regime, attracting resentment that might otherwise have been showered on De Gaulle. Into the Foreign Ministry replacing Maurice Couve de Murville will probably go Algerian Affairs Minister Louis Joxe, now De Gaulle's most trusted adviser. It is on foreign...
