...death during a period of rioting in Algeria (see cut). Filmed and widely shown by Fox Movie-tonews, the photos were also published in LIFE. Last week, in the heated French election campaign, the accusation was made that the cameraman had bribed the policeman to shoot down the Algerian to provide some exciting footage...
...result, any constructive legislation by the new assembly will require that the center groups, already almost hopelessly divided among themselves, vote nearly unanimously together. The French battle has gone on too long, has been waged too acidly, and has too many complications like the election law and the Algerian situation to make any such agreement likely.

Yet, as in all French North Africa, Algeria's 1,000,000 French colons are terrified that home rule will submerge them under the votes of 8,000,000 Algerian Arabs. To reassure the colons (and their powerful backers in France), Soustelle announced last week: "We should never have lost Indo-China...
