French, Rebels
In Crucial Meet
' EVIANLES-BAINS, France
(AP) French negotiators and
representatives of the Algerian
rebel government met today for
what may be the crucial session
of their three-weck-old peace con
ference. The tone and approach of to
day's session in Evian'a Hotel l)u
Pare could decide whether the
talks continue or break down. So
far neither side has shown an
clination to break off the talks
and take the responsibility for the
resumption of large-scale fighting
in Algeria.
The tense, gloomy atmosphere
In which the parley recessed
Saturday was further clouded
over the weekend when Moslem
terrorists struck with new fury
throughout Algeria. Thirteen per
sons were killed and 54 wounded.
Five persons four of them Eu
ropeanswere killed in terrorist
attacks in Oran Monday. In Al
giers a European and a Moslem
were killed and six Moslems were
wounded when a grenade was
tossed into a crowded cafe.
French extremists retaliated
with three plastic bombs in front
of Moslem stores, wounding three
persons.
Five persons were injured in a
similar incident in Constantine,
where a French captain was also
shot and gravely wounded.
In Paris, 16 persons were
wounded, three seriously, by the
explosion of a plastic bomb in
hotel in an area housing many
African workers. The bombing
was blamed on French extremists
opposing President Charles de
Gaulle's Algerian policy.
The French have ordered their
forces in Algeria to hold their
fire unless attacked, but the rebel
command has refused to halt ter
rorism, the nationalists' most ef
fective weapon.

However, he noted, Main St. is
gradually gaining the nickname
"Garbage Can Alley" because sev
eral merchants do not bother to
bring their garbage containers in
doors.
The consequent picture to visit
ors or shoppers is not one con
ducive to good business, he indicat
ed.
At the same time he noted mer
chants pile trash and boxes out
doors on Main St. sidewalks at
night, presenting another picture
ol untidiness.
City Manager John Warburton
said the problem is one that crops
up every two months. Merchants
will keep the problem under con
trol for a while and then it ap
pears again, he said.
As far as the boxes are con
cerned, Warburton said, probably
the only permanent solution is for
the merchant to supply a fireproof
container indoors.
Fire Chief Don Starmer said he
would rather see the boxes on the
sidewalk than in a basement
where they would pose a great
lire Hazard.
The council passed a motion to
have a letter sent to merchants
asking them to correct the garbage
can situation immediately and at
the same time seek a better way
to handle waste boxes.

Youths Tell Tale
Of Tragic Irony
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP)
Two teen-agers, in a tale of
tragic irony, say they embarked
on seven slayings in five states
because as long as they had
killed one "we might as well
keep on."
But the man they thought they
had killed didn't die. Had they
quit there, they wouldn't be fac
ing murder charges.
There's another irony. Both
James Douglas Latham, 19, Mau
riceville, Tex., and George Ron
ald York, 18, Jacksonville, Fla.,
say they want to die. They'd pre
fer the electric chair. But the
stales with seemingly the strong
est cases execute by other means
Kansas by hanging and Colo
rado by the gas chamber.
What started it? The Army,
they claimed at a news confer
ence in Salt Lake County jail
Monday. They complained about
army harassment. They objected
to racial integration in the Army
and to serving under Negro offi
cers. Though they expressed some
offhand regret for some of the
killings, they didn't for the slay
ing of John A. Whitaker, an el
derly Negro railroad porter in
luuanoma, Tenn., who wos
robbed and shot to death.
"He was black." York ex
plained. And Latham added: "We
don't feel bad about killing a
nigger."
Both are AWOL from the Army.
They fled a disciplinary unit at
Fort Hood, Tex., May 24. Latham
was serving six months and was
to get a bad-conduct discharge
ior taKing ?40 from a fellow sol
oier. xorK nau Deen given six
months for being AWOL.
"We got what we were work
ing for," said York, "to get out
of this stinking rat race on the
outside."
But York said he doubled they
would have killed anyone else if
they had known that Edward J.
Guidroz, the man slugged and
left for dead near Baton Rouge,
La., had survived.
