BEDROOM GROUP Ben Bella Unpopular In Mountains By MICHAEL GOLDSMITH or the Associated Preil FORT NATIONAL, Algeria Premier Ahmed Ben Bella's pop ularity has not penetrated into the Kabylie Mountains, the rug ged mountain chain cast of Al giers inhabited by some two mil lion Berbers. Crowds of friendly inhabi lants gather around any stranger who visits the overcrowded hill top towns and villages. All seem anxious to show they had no part in Ben Bella's march to power. "He wants to be a dictator," aid a Berber on Fort Nation al's main street. A dozen by standers agreed vigorously. A storekeeper who once drove a taxi in Paris said "You can't rule Algeria by force. We proved it to the French, and if necessary we'll prove it to Ben Bella and his army." Wilaya 3 in Control The regular army of Col, Houari Boumcdicnnc, which put Ben Bella in power, has made no attempt to move into the Ka bylie Mountains. The tough and disciplined guerrillas of Wilaya (region) 3 hold control there. Unlike the disorderly Wilaya A west and south of, Algiers, Wilaya 3 never disintegrated into marauding bands, Acts of violence against European or Algerian civilians are unheard of in the Kabylie since the Al gerian war ended March 19. Fort National was the cen ter of some of the bitterest fighting. Many Villages were destroyed, farms were burned and thousands of Moslems were killed or simply disappeared. Now the French army is seek ing a reconciliation, French sol diers are helping with the re construction, building roads and repairding the communications system. 'Never Hated French' "We never hated the French people," said a local Moslem official. "What wo hated was the humiliating colonial system and tho terror regime of some French troops, particularly the Foreign Legion and the para troopers. "We had to fight for our in dependence and our dignity, but now we havo won we hold out our hand in friendship to the people of France. Mure than 100,0(10 Kabylie men continue to work in France, supporting their families here with remittances. European set tlers, who mostly fled before independence, aro beginning to return in small numbers. Belkacem Krlm, chief nego tiator of the Evian peace and cooperation treaty with France, is the local hero. Krim, now one of Ben Bella's leading op ponents, is respected and ad mired by the Kabylies, who re gard him as their spokesman in the capital. No Ben Bella Slogans A ISO-mile trip through the mountains failed to disclose any of the "Long Live Ben Bella" slogans common elsewhere in Algeria. The walls In the Kaby lie bear slogans praising Krim and "cooperation. The Kabyllei have their own language, distinct from Arable. Nearly ell speak French, but colloquial Arabic is virtually un known. When a European stranger walks into a cafe buzz ing with Kabylie conversation, the talk Instantly switches into French. "It is their way of po liteness." the cafe owner said. Boumedienne's army wants to press on with the "Arabizalion" of all Algeria, "If they fry it here, they'll really run Into trouble," said young man in the cafe. "We ire Algerians and we are Ka byles. But no amount of force will ever turn ui Into Arabs." SAW i f ED 1 1 ALL FOR ONLY mmsss - ji yw Jl I I I h-ss: .
