May 15 rule covered almost all of tinderbox Algeria today amid signs that the army command is leaning more and more toward local rightwingers and away from the new government In Paris. Gen. Raoul, Salan, French commander-ln-chief In Algeria, appeared on the balcony of the government headquarters build- lng today surrounded by the| local "Committee of Public;; Safety" which seized control in, | the North African capital Tues day. Oen. Salan, who is regarded in Paris as a loyalist, shouted at a crowd of several thousand: "Long live France! Long live French Algeria! Long live Gen de Gaulle!” At Gen. Salan's side was par »troop Gen. Jacques Massu. chief of the military-civilian Committee of Public Safety, which had demanded a strong- j man government In Paris under Gen. de Gaulle, the wartime Free French leader. There are now about 130 local committees of public safety throughout Algeria. In most cases, the local military commander is either a member or the nominal power behind the group. The committees are charged to maintain contact between the army and the population—by passing the civilian administration. Communications between Algeria and France were still at a minimum. Some press calls were getting through, but there were no civilian communications. No ships or planes, outside of those approved by the military, were getting through. The French government was holding in its Mediterranean ports the ships which normally would have been en route here. However, the streets of Algeria itself were calm and the Muslim population again was moving freely. The French were observing Ascension Day and many shops were closed. The open markets were swamped, however, by housewives stocking up after two days of rioting which closed down almost all commercial activity in the city. Exile Regime Rumored The crowd gathered in front of the government building this morning after hearing a rumor that the Algerian nationalist rebels, who have been in rebellion for almost four years, were forming a government in exile in Cairo. A civilian member of the Committee of Public Safety harangued the crowd for a moment, saying the committee had given Gen. Salan and the army its full confidence. He introduced Gen. Salan as the spokesman for the people and the army. Gen. Salan said the army still would win the war against the rebels. He said that by Showing its determination, "Al- j gem will save France." (In Paris, the French radio carried parte of Gen. Salan’s speech. However, it cut out his cry of “Vive de Gaulle.” Although political and military unheavals in the cities took the spotlight, the fighting with the Moslem rebels continued. French headquarters information service this morning reported a continuing battle near Mascara in which 32 rebels were killed. In Algeria’s second city of Gran, where civilian Prefect Pierre Lambert was injured in a clash with the mob yesterday after surrendering his powers to the local military commander, the situation was calm today. Mr. Lambert was reported to be in Paris and was reported to have been in Paris. SPINET and CONSOLE PIANO MOM SMOOT HIT AND UP Hus Hauling Charges H. M.

The department also applauded what it called the "courageous efforts" of the government of President Camille Chamoun to maintain order in the face of live days to mob violence in the tiny country. The doubling of the Marine force was accomplished by delaying the rotation of a battalion which had been scheduled to return to the United States. This battalion was aboard ships at Gibraltar preparing to be relieved by a newly arrived unit when the order came that both battalions would remain in the Mediterranean “for the time being.” The official Navy statement said: “A routine Naval exercise is scheduled to begin shortly in the Central Mediterranean. For the next several days, United States Sixth Fleet vessels will be leaving port to participate. “Certain amphibious units originally scheduled to return to the United States shortly will remain in the Mediterranean for the time being.” A Navy spokesman said the amphibious units would not be involved in the “routine” exercise in the Central Mediterranean. He cautioned newsmen “not to confuse” the two parts of the official statement. He declined, under questioning, to say just where the attack transports and cargo ships of the amphibious force were headed. Atomic Weapons on Hand The Marine units now with the fleet are the first battalion of the 8th Regiment and the second battalion of the 3rd Regiment. They will be aboard ships. Each Marine unit carries atomic weapons and tanks. A State Department spokesman said yesterday that American Ambassador Robert G. McClintock in Lebanon has been authorized to order the evacuation of between 3,000 and 4,000 United States citizens if he decides such action is necessary. News dispatches said an American merchant ship put into the Lebanese port of Tripoli yesterday to evacuate any Americans who wanted to leave. While many American officials here agree that interference by the United Arab Republic (Egypt and Syria) is responsible for the rioting in Lebanon, the State Department had “no comment” on the causes of the violence. It said simply: “The department wishes to take note of the conscientious efforts of the legally constituted government of Lebanon to carry out its duty to maintain the security and stability of the country. “The department hopes for the quick re-establishment of order and a return to normal conditions.” Anti-American, anti-American, anti-American rioting.

PARIS Continued From First Page, though a socialist, he is acceptable to Frenchmen in Algeria demanding no compromise in the battle to stamp out the 3½-year-old Algerian national-ist rebellion. Defense Minister Pierre de Chevigne took new measures against the military in Algeria and rightist-Communist troublemakers at home. He sent orders to all military commanders to enforce rigid discipline and suppress any agitation among the troops. Commanders in Algeria were told to report directly to the Defense Ministry, instead of to the high command in Algiers. There was no indication whether the officers in Algeria were obeying. More than 16,000 reinforcements were brought in to help Paris police keep order. Armed units ringing the capital were on. Canteen.

Rioters in Algiers who touched off the crisis Tuesday stayed quiet under orders of the head of the dissident junta, paratroop Brig. Gen. Jacques Massu. Mr. Pfilippin for the moment depended on Maj. Gen. Raoul Salan, the French commander in chief in Algeria, to preserve the facade of government control. He designated Gen. Salan to assume provisional civil and military authority in the North African territory and announced later he had received Gen. Salan's first report. The implication was that it was satisfactory. Heavily censored dispatches from Algeria indicated that local military was in control, with the public safety committees operating under them, and that so far there were no direct challenges to Gen. Salan's authority. Neither was Gen. Salan making any evident attempt to oust Gen. Massu or suppress the committees. New committees opposing any Blasts, Snipers, Riots Disrupt Beirut Again BEIRUT, Lebanon, May 15 (AP).—Beirut was shaken again today by explosions, sniping from building tops and battles between police and government rioters. Seven bombs exploded during the night, but calm generally prevailed until midnight. Then rioters surged through the streets in demonstrations against the pro-Western government of President Camille Chamoun. An explosion rocked the place de Canon in the heart of the business district and several persons were killed. Police quickly cordoned off the area and rounded up more than 100 people. Snipers on the roofs of buildings fired at people in the streets. Street and bands of demonstrators fought to disrupt normal life in the city. Weapons Due Soon The United States is flying relaxation of the war effort were formed yesterday in Algeria’s second city of Oran, 330 miles west of Algiers, and in Mostaganem, Ain Temouchent and Bidl Bel Abbes, all near Oran. In Oran a mob of about 40,000 invaded the government headquarters and attacked provincial Gov. Pierre Lambert, who had pledged his support to Paris. The army rescued him and the Oran area commander, Lt. Gen. Jean-Marie Rhetore, announced he had taken over civil and military authority. A public safety committee was set up to act as liaison between the military and the population. Gen. Massu told a news conference in Algiers that his committee would step down when “a minister for Algeria comes here with the agreement of the population." The colonialists have rejected Andre Mutter, a moderate conservative who was Mr. Pflimlin's first choice for the Algerian post. Mr. La Coste probably would be acceptable. Although a Socialist who talked about political reforms after peace was achieved, in his two and half years in office he supported the ultra-nationalists and army officers favoring vigorous prosecution of the war against the Moslem rebels. A New York Times dispatch from Algiers said Gen. Massu told his news conference he was under Gen. Salan’s orders and had no intention of forming an insurgent government. The dispatch added that Constantine, main city of Eastern Algeria, had joined Oran and Algiers under military Control of anti-riot weapons to Lebanon, where disturbances have been under way for six days. A general strike which earlier choked off normal business activity in Beirut lost momentum. Shops began to open again, even in the riot-ridden Muslim quarter where Opposition Leader Saeb Salam lives. But Mr. Salam told reporters his followers will demonstrate! until Mr. Chamoun resigns, l Tripoli and other parts of North Lebanon still were dom inated by opponents of Mr. Chamoun.

Lebanese authorities continued to arrest Syrians accused of causing trouble. Reliable sources said the government scored a victory in preventing an estimated 400 rebellious Druse mountain tribesmen from reaching the Syrian frontier, where they reportedly want to join Syrian Druse forces. Lebanese armored cars brought eight Americans and two Cypriot girls to the capital from the Bekaa Valley. In East Lebanon, Beirut was quieter after an estimated 30 persons were killed here Monday and Tuesday. United States Ambassador Robert McClintock said he had no intention of moving Americans out of the capital city. But the chartered ship Jackson Creek was sent to the North Lebanese port of Tripoli, where 63 Americans were being urged by United States diplomats to go to Beirut. Several ships of the United States 6th Fleet suddenly sailed from Gibraltar toward Lebanon and British vessels also were steaming eastward in the Mediterranean. The idea seemed to be to warn President Nasser’s United Arab Republic not to send troops into Lebanon, as well as to save the forces ready if American civilians in Beirut were endangered. Most authorities in Washington agreed that the bloody rioting was caused by what Lebanese Foreign Minister Charles Malik charged was “massive interference" from the UAR. A formal Lebanese protest was rejected in Cairo as “most unjustifiable allegations.”
