From the Barricades. But next day the announcement of the new Cabinet set off fresh protests from Christians and pro-Western Moslems. Chehab's choice for Premier was Rashid Karami, 37, a Moslem lawyer who led the rebel resistance in Tripoli. Chamoun's most fanatical backers vowed that they would fight rather than accept a Premier from "the barricades." From the mountain village to which he had retired, Chamoun fanned the flames with a statement: "The new Cabinet is not satisfactory to me."

A yes vote on his constitution, declared De Gaulle, "will mean...
While President René Coty angrily denounced the "abominable" acts of sabotage, F.L.N. leaders in Cairo and Rabat proudly declared themselves the authors of the terror. Rebel Leader Ferhat Abbas, once regarded as a moderate among the rebels, promised more sabotage. Fearing De Gaulle's skillful wooing of the Moslem population, the F.L.N. apparently hopes to stir up enough hatred and dissension to make a mockery out of all talk of "fraternization...
