...from right-wing diehards, who were determined to stymie De Gaulle's plan for Algerian self-determination (TIME, Sept. 28). Most of the deputies from Algeria boycotted the session, and the Gaullist U.N.R. Party was shaken by the angry resignation of nine right-wingers, who considered any concessions-even talks with the rebels-as the first step toward France's total loss of Algeria.

With equal vehemence, African Nationalist Leader Tom Mboya denounced the proposals as falling far short of the sweeping redistribution of White Highlands acreage demanded by Africans. Even members of the moderate New Kenya Party, led by Michael Blundell, Kenya's most progressive white politician, raised the outcry that the plan was discriminatory against Europeans; it was unfair, they said, to open the Highlands to Africans, when white farmers were not allowed...
