In a referendum on Jan. 8, President Charles de Gaulle of France got a blank cheek from 75 per cent of the French people to end the war his way. The Algerian govern-mcnt-in-exile, with headquar ters in Tunis, has recently ex pressed its willingness to start peace negotiations once more. Thus the way is cleared for the first secret contacts, prob ably through intermediaries. The war for Algerian inde pendence, called a rebellion by the French, broke out Nov. 1, 1954. The peace overtures are most timely because the date for the big Algerian sprino offensive is only a few weeks off. Every year the Algerians launch their major drive early in March. Feared Chinese Intervention This year there was the added threat that arms from Communist China might mount the big Algerian push. When the last peace nego tiations broke down in June of 1960, Ferhat Abbas, the president of the provisional Algerian government, went to Peking. The Chinese asked him what was his biggest problem. He is supposed to have answered that it was the French defense fortifications running 300 miles along the entire Tunisian frontier. This new "Maginot line" of the French is about five miles deep, with criss - crossing mazes of barbed wires and electric signals. There's a deep "no man's land" on both sides, and the French army strikes when signals indicate an invading force has pene trated the defenses. Line Major Barrier Up to now the line has been a major barrier. Occasionally a "suicide squad" of 25 to 30 Algerian soldiers will cut their way into the defenses and draw the withering fire of the French defenders. The sacrificial group is lost but its action permits the passage of other troops and arms into Algeria. Some weeks ago the French defenses were cut for a dis tance of five kilometers. To the surprise of the French, however, nobody crossed. It is thought here that the plan of the French Maginot line, so gained, has gone to Commu nist China fn e(,,I.. i., " '"w,r ii aicmuii lur wie spring oiiens ive. The Chinese also have vol unteered, according to unof ficial reports here, to turn the entire product of three of four munitions plants over to the Algerians, FBO Cairo. From Egypt the Algerians would be responsible for mov ing it by land or sea to Al geria. Question of Arms Since every Algerian boy above the age of 15 is ready to serve in the underground, one observer here said: "There's no problem of men for the Algerian army. Its just a question of arming them." Some quarters here expect ed the administration of Presi dent Kennedy to be more sympathetic with Algerian aspirations than o u t g o I n g President Eisenhower seemed to be. Many believed that Eisenhower was handicapped by his close war-time associ ation with De Gaulle: That it was a case of two 70-year-old generals not wishing to run counter to the other's policy. One of the hurdles to a set tlement last year was De Gaulle's insistence on a cease fire before negotiations. The Algerian provisional govern ment refused that condition. Officials here feared that if the Algerian maqui, or under ground, was dismantled it could easily be weakened or destroyed. Besides, they pointed out, a cease-fire might appear as surrender. "We haven't lost the war," one official explained, "so why should we surrender';" The Algerians, how ever, have yielded on one signifi cant point. They formerly insisted on war till complete independence was won. Now thoy are willing to stop fight ing if they are given adequate guarantees in advance. Assistant Dean Is Named for Graduate School at College Corvallis - Rapid increases in the number of students working for master's and doc tor's degrees prompted the ap pointment of an assistant dean of the graduate school at Ore gon State college. President A. L. Strand named Dr. Wendell H. Sla baugh, professor of chemistry, to the assistant dean post on a half-time basis for the pres ent. In announcing the appoint ment, Dr. Strand pointed out that 11 per cent of the stu dents enrolled at OSC this year are in the graduate school. OSC has become one of the nation's major institu tions for doctor's degree work in recent years, he added. Slabaugh's appointment was approved by the state board of higher education at its meeting in Portland. Dean for 12 Years Dr. Henry P. Hansen has been dean of the graduate school for the past 12 years. In that time, enrollment in the graduate school has more than doubled. Increases at perhaps an even faster rate are predicted by Hansen for years ahead to meet the nation's need for highly-trained scientists and teachers. The OSC graduate school also sponsors an important program of research grants-in-aid designed to encourage Individual research on the part of staff members. Some 60 staff members are now doing research under the grants-in-aid and more than 50 technical papers were pub lished last year on the basis of lhat work. Several of the projects started with grants-in-aid have since received ma jor grants from industry or stale and federal agencies. Slabaugh, 46, has been a member of the OSC staff since 1953. Before lhat, he taught at North Dakota State college, Washington State university and Kansas State college. In 1957, he was picked as one of three "outstanding teach ers" honored that year on campus. In Science Fields Nearly half of the graduate students at OSC this year are majoring in science fields. Agriculture has the second largest group, followed by ed ucation and engineering, with lesser numbers in home eco nomics, forestry, pharmacy, and general studies. Students from throughout the U. S. and 35 foreign coun tries are on the campus this year for advanced studies. National reports issued in 1960 showed that OSC rank ed seventh In the West and 47th in the nation in the num ber of doctor's degree gradu ates in the past five years. Last year, OSC conferred 48 doctor's degrees and 313 mas ter's degrees. This June It Is anticipated that about 80 doc tor's degrees will be conferred. MORSE RETURNS Porlland-lUPU - Sen.
