...laborious, but we advance," was the word sent to Charles de Gaulle last week by his top negotiator, Louis Joxe, Minister for Algerian Affairs. In a secret meeting place near the Swiss border, Joxe's French delegation and that of the Moslem F.L.N., headed by Foreign Minister Belkacem Krim, were in the "final stage" of drawing up the cease-fire agreement that will end the seven-year Algerian war. There have been reports of an impending truce for months, but this time it seemed so close that one of the few remaining points at issue reportedly was De Gaulle...
Paris observers were setting the target date for a peace treaty between France and the F.L.N. in terms of days, instead of weeks or months. Reportedly, the French government was ready with stacks of freshly printed posters announcing the ceasefire.

Cabinet meeting, under Premier Benyoussef Benkhedda, which is expected to take up the draft of the peace treaty...
...British ladies-who want to see India. One of them, lanky, pink, ditherish Miss Quested (Anne Meacham), who has come from England to be married; and Mrs. Moore (Gladys Cooper), the mother of Miss Quested's fiancé. They meet Dr. Aziz (expertly played by Zia Mohyeddin), a Moslem who is young, charming, overemotional, awkward and desperately anxious to please. His position, India's and Britain's are dryly summed up by two incidents. Before the ladies come, Fielding cannot find his back collar stud, and the puppyish Aziz plucks out his own and forces the principal...
