problem" in the area, Knowland
said.
The court ruled June 3 in the
so-called Jencks case that de
fendants in a criminal case have
the right to examine FBI re
ports provided by informers who
are used as government witness
es In the trial. Some trial judges
have interpreted this to mean
that the government should pro
duce all FBI records that mav
be pertinent.
Bills have been introduced in
both the Senate and House !o
limit the effect of the court's
decision. Generally, they provide
that FBI documents would be
produced only at the discretion
of the trial Judge. .
Eisenhower's attitude on pend
ing legislation was set forth at
a time when the FBI made clea

High Hells Dam Fund
Expectation Reyealed
Washington Ml Rep. Hamer
Budge (R-Idaho) said Thursday
backers of a federal high dam in
Hells Canyon should be ready
to secure appropriations of S100
million per year for the next
five years if their project is
approved by Congress.
That would be the amount
needed to build the dam and
get power to the electricity-hungry
Pacific Northwest by 1964,
Budge said in a speech from the
floor of the House.
"If private development of the
power (in Hells Canyon), which
is now under way, is brought
to a halt, then it will be the
responsibility of those who
stopped it to assure immediate
appropriations of S100 million
per year for the next five years
tc build the federal dam . . ."
he said.
Idaho Power Company holds
permits to build three private
dams in the Hells Canyon
stretch of the Snake river.
More Oregonians
In Non-Farm Work
Salem IIPI A total of 489,
000 Oregon workers were em
ployed in non-farm work in May,
according to the State Unemploy

This number was 9400 more
than was recorded a month be
fore but about 2800 less than the
same time a year ago.
Claims taken by the 26 local
offices of the commission totaled
about 10,000 during the closing
weeks of the 1956-57 benefit
year. This number was expect
ed to raise slightly as the 1957

58,700 workers employed, 7000
fewer than a year ago. The re
port showed that plywood and

Heartland of Algerian Rebellion
Found Wild But Pretty Country
V-- I'D T) - .1 . M.,,,rW11 1. " . . I . .. .....
Editors Note: V.P. Paris manager
Arthur Higbre has flown to Algeria
for some close-up reporting of the
rebellion In the French conlony. This
is his first dispatch.
Br ARTHUR HIGBEE
Tizi-Ouzou. Algeria IW
"Pretty country, this," you re
mark as the sedan sweeps
through the corktree and willow
covered hills of the Grand Kaby
lie. "Prettiest on earth," agrees
the young civil servant fresh
from Paris.
This the heartland of the Al
gerian rebellion against France.
These mountains spring up a
scant 35 miles east of the mod
ern city of Algiers and stretch
70 miles south toward the Sa
hara. They form the wildest, hilli
est, poorest, loveliest and most
thickly populated region of Al
geria. A million Moslems try
to scratch a living from its soil.
Only 14,000 Europeans are
among them.
The Kabyles are an offshoot
of the Berbers meaning barbari
ans who inhabited North Africa
long before the Arabs swept
through with the sword of Is
lam. They were never completely
pacified and. with the coming of
the nationalist uprising, the re
gion boiled into what the French
call "full effervescence."
France has an entire division,
the 27th Alpine, plus artillery
and aviation, in this mountain
country to protect the Euro
peans and the vast majority of
Moslems who have not joined
the revolt.
You ask an educated Kabyle
how the Algerian struggle can
be solved. '
"I do not know," he replies
"My people are in misery. Most
of them are so poor that, quite
literally, the only pleasure they
can afford is sexual pleasure
Among the uneducated, birth
control is an evil. And. as -the
population increases, so does the
misery.
"The French promised us full
citizenship, and we never got it.
Now many of my people no
longer want it.
"Is independence the answer?
Perhaps too easy an answer. 1
think we must have French help
to survive.
"For every rebel there are 10
sympathizers, and for every
sympathizer 100 neutrals wait
ing to see which way the wind
blows. And what does a villager j
uo wnen trie reoeis come ana
tell him to choose between join-ion the rebel side in April com
ing them and having his throat
cut?
"Anyway, can the French
army stay here forever? And
what kind of life is it, being
searched at one corner by the
military and not knowing wheth
er a rebel knife is going to get
you at the next?"
Civilian boss of the Grand Ka
bylie is French Prefect Robert
Vignon. He is 47, a career civil
servant born in Algeria.
Vignon says the situation is
improving, points to a chart on
the wall of his air-conditioned
office. It lists 26 killed on the
French side in April compared
to 46 six months ago. 453 killed
pared to 161 six months ago.
But Vignon would rather talk
of life than death, of Moslem
village governments and build
ing projects. The Moslems, he
says, now run one-fourth of the
161 communes in the Grand
Kabylie.
Town and countryside Aliek
are full of government-financed
building projects roads,
bridges, schools, hospitals.
"We are building to the limit."
Vignon said. "But. as I tell the
people, it is no good asking for
them if they are going to be de
stroyed by a few fellagha (out
laws). They must help us to de
fend them."
