...express intent of disrupting the elections. Last week the F.L.N. announced that it would begin accepting "foreign volunteers." The Red Chinese have a standing offer to supply the Algerian rebels with "technicians" and money, but in actuality, it is unlikely that the F.L.N. expects to accept more than token contributions. More likely, the rebels, who have apparently given up hope of extracting concessions from De Gaulle, are hoping that the "volunteer" issue can "internationalize" the Algerian rebellion and force other nations to deal with the F.L.N. as a genuine government...

Although he had token support from outgoing Governor Earl Long, Davis' biggest ally was State Senator Willie Rainach, one of Louisiana's hottest segregationists; Rainach rounded up thousands of supporters with the promise that Davis would make him boss of an anti-integration state sovereignty commission...
