...French delegation will be headed by Algerian Affairs Minister Louis Joxe, 59, and the F.L.N.'s by tough ex-French Army Corporal Belkacem Krim, 37. The probable place: Thonon-les-Bains or a nearby resort on the Lake of Geneva, which lies between France and Switzerland. The lake water is blue and sparkling, the air bracing, the snow-capped Alps rise just beyond.

Since De Gaulle has long insisted that he will deal only with the military leaders of the revolt, the new rebel "Cabinet" seemed to smooth the path toward negotiations between France and the rebels. But before meeting with De Gaulle, the rebels had to have...
