the oldest hot war in the
world today.
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.
