o MEDKORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. OMX.OV THURSDAY. OCTOBER 21. 106.1 I ' Ben Bella Hopes To Be Undisputed Slider of Socialist North Africa SUCCESS STORY Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sullivan pose in San Francisco after his success story came to light. Running a thriving business empire, Sullivan did not start this way. He is a former slave and is now one of the richest Negroes on the West Coast. Sold into servitude at the age of two, Sulli van went on to be able to support his former master as well as his master's entire family. The information was revealed when welfare authorities tried to get Sullivan to take over welfare payments for his former master whom their records showed as his adopted father. (UPI) Senator Promises Data for Hearing On Baker Interests WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen. John J. Williams, R-Del., saidj today he would provide Senate investigators with "notes and memoranda" to support infor mation about business deals of former Senate Democratic Secretary Robert G. Baker. Williams, who triggered the inquiry into Baker's outside ac tivities, is scheduled to be the first witness before the Senate Rules Committee Tuesday when closed hearings begin on the case. Baker resigned his $19,600-a-year Senate post on Oct. 7 following reports that he had an interest in a food vending firm serving defense plants. This was followed by other re volving a $134,500 Washington residence for his family, a S28, 000 Washington town house occupied by his secretary, and motel interests. Partner With Hodges The motel interests included a partnership with Commerce Secretary Luther H. Hodges in Charlotte. N.C. A spokesman said Hodges, a former North Carolina gover nor, invested $40,000 in Novem ber 1960 in the motel and later purchased the $18,000 interest of former Senate aide Kidd Brewer, a North Carolina busi nessman later convicted for violating state laws against in fluence peddling. Hodges sold his total interest in the motel for $58,000 to Bak er in July 1961, the spokesman said. Williams said he was satis fied with the ground rules laid down for the investigation by the rules committee, headed bv Sen. B. Everett Jordan, D-N.C. Testimony Under Oath The committtee said all wit nesses be heard first behind closed doors and would give their testimony under oath. The group also announced it would ask the FBI for all the infor activities in a preliminary in quiry. Williams told a reporter he had verballv "briefed" Jordan and Sen. Carl T. Curtis, R Neb., ranking Republican on the committee, on what he learned informally about Bak er's activities. On Tuesday, Williams said, he will provide the nine - member committee with "notes and memoranda" supporting that information. Williams introduced the Sen ate resolution authorizing the inquiry. It directed the rules committee to investigate finan cial activities of present and former Senate officials and em ployes and "conflict of interest" involved.

(IHHiO PARIS (UPI)-Algeria's left leaning "strong man" Presi dent Ahmed Ben Bella is driv ing all-out to overthrow his neighbor and fellow Arab ruler, King Hassan II of Morocco. He hopes to make himself un disputed leader of a socialist North Africa, backed by Soviet Russia and President' Gamel Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic. inose. in tne Deuel ol in- Ben Bella has launched offensive against Hassan on three fronts: On the Sahara battlefields. In a violent anti Hassan campaign by press and radio aimed at strong opposition forces in Morocco itself that are a con stant threat to the 33-year-old monarch. In t h e United Nations, where Ben Bella has sent his envoy M'hammed Zazid to seek to drum up support from the formed French officials, are the Communists, and Afro-Asians stakes in the "war that is not (a n d other "uncommitted" yet quite a war" raging on the I nations. Algerian-Moroccan border in I Big ('aniblr the Sahara. I On the strictly military side his Ben Bella has taken a big on gamble. The French are convinced that in a stand-up fight without foreign intervention the tough, well trained Moroccan army , could smear Ben Bella's raw troops, who have had little ex perience of real war aside from guerrilla fighting in the inde pendence war against France. Many of the Moroccans are pro fessionals who (ought for the French in World War II and Indo-China or who served with U.N. forces in the Congo. But Ben Bella clearly is bans- to save him if it should come to all-out war. Without guarantees of such support the French arc convinced Ben Bella would haw backed down hastily. At the same time the Al gerian press and radio, which are totally controlled by Bon Bella, launched a violent propa ganda offensive of personal vi tuperation against King Hassan. Said Imperialism Tool Algerian propaganda has at tacked the young king as a "feudalist." a "tool of imperial ism" and a "pawn of colonial- ing on arms and other aid from I ism" and has compared him the Communist bloc and Nasser , w i I h Spanish Generalissimo Francisco Franco, Portuguese Premier Antonio Salazar, for mer Katanga President Moise Tshombe and various other stock "enemies" of the Commu nist bloc. The aim of this campaign ap pears to be to encourage the anti-Hassan groups in Morocco, including labor unions and oth er leftist organizations, to overthrow the king. So far it apparently has had little effect. But it could be a danger to the young ruler. Yaid's U.N. mission is de signed to drum up a fierce anti-Hassan campaign in the in- , ternational field to supplement ! the propoganda offensive al ready launched in Algeria itself. Personal Enemy It now is clear that King Has ! san is Ben Bella's No. 1 per sonal enemy. The 47-year-old former French , Army sergeant, who has made himself Algeria's undisputed one-man boss, sees in Hassan a permanent threat to his ambi tions to become leader of Arab North Africa. ' Ben Bella is fast converting i Algeria into a near-Communist j "people's democracy" a North African Cuba: King Hassan's ! conservative semi-feudal mon archy is anathema to him. tne struggle between the two men has become a life-and-death showdown for both.
