Campaign Feared HOMEOWNERS: France Increasing Precautions in Sahara Oil Fields 1 Policy Covers All Fire, Theft, Auto, Hoasehoid con tents, Wind, Hail, ilfedical, plus many other attractive feature! all com bined under one policy that saves you money. ;.By Bernard-Veillet-LaveUe Of tha Atioetited Prtu ;HASSI MESSAOUD, Algeria French authorities in tha vast new Sahara oil fields are step ping up security precautions against sabotage by terrorists of the Secret Arm; Organization. ' The French were gravely per turbed by the recently reported theft of 15 tons of high explo sives in the heart of the deso late oilfields. The explosives were on two trucks which disappeared on a routine trip through the desert. Their drivers had disappeared. It is not known whether they were kidnaped or joined the Secret Army. The trucks contained enough explosives to do- irreparable damage to tha oil Installations. The only highway leading out of the oil iield area is under tight security control, so it teemed likely the explosives could have been taken north for the Secret Army's sabotage cam paign in the coastal cities. French officials (eared extrem ists among the hundreds of Europeans working in and around the oil fields may be holding the explosives in readi ness for a kind of "scorched earth" campaign, if and when Algeria becomes independent Saboteurs working with the technical know-bow of oil ex perts could make tha vast un derground petroleum reserves of Hassi Messaoud virtually un exploi table. The oil field, discovered in the heart of the desert 550 miles south of Algiers in 1956, has 121 producing wells spread over 1,000 square miles. They pump more than 800,000 metric tons of oil into the pipeline to the coast every month. This is about a quarter of the entire French oil consumption. The to tal reserves, estimated at 2.5 billion metric tons, are suffici ent to cover all French needs for more than 85 years. The European engineers and technicians operating the wellj, refinery and pipeline are most ly from metropolitan France. They seem more interested in their pay envelopes and job se curity than In the Secret Army's terrorist campaign. They sym pathize with the demand to keep Algeria French but not to the point of destroying their own livelihood. They receive relatively high pay and are eoaitorUb!y in stalled in luxurious camps com plete with air conditioning, swimming pools and ultra-modern movie houses. Gardens and trees have been planted in this man-made oasis, and the peace ful atmosphere is a startling contrast to the tension and bit terness in Ibe jiorihern cities. Throughout the seven-yearlong Algerian war and the Se cret Army'a terror campaign Which succeeded it, ihare has not been a single case ot mur der or sabotage in Hassi Mes saoud. "Most of the technicians here are sympathetic to the Secret Army, one of them said. "But they will not resort to sabotage at least not for the moment. Of course, the time may come when some may be thrust into acts of despair if, for example, they should find themselves sud STOP IN OR CALL denly forced to abandon the oit field they built.

HOW can we get prices so low? Because we fill thousands of prescriptions a year and be cause we keep extra costs out, we can operate on such a low margin that even so-called "non-profit" plans can rarely match a Hiron's price! nr (Ml ssMaBsaaBI 3fm 1 11' J I Chocolate Covered FRUIT & NUT CASTER EGG Vx lb.
