"Go away," she says. "No, 1 don't want a cigarette. No, 1 won't talk to you. Just go away." In a hole-in-the-wall shop, Mo hammed Mikin, the merchant, starts to answer a question. "De Gaulle? Well, . in my opinion" He breaks off abruptly. Two red-hatted trench Zouaves, car rying tommyguns, come down the narrow alleyway, heavy boots clattering on the ancient cobble stones. "As I was saying," says Mo hammed Mikiri, smoothly chang ing the subject, "business is slow. So many people buying on credit." Even alter the Zouaves have passed, he says no more. Doors slam shut as you ap proach. A Moslem woman pulls her veil up to the level of her dark eyes! You decide not to talk to a fruit vendor. His son was killed here last week. This is the Casbah. The Algiers Casbah, locale for romantic movies and scene of countless love stories, Is a place of fear and festering hatred now. It smells of death. French paratroops went through it in effect with fire and sword hunting down members of the Moslem revolutionary force that has been fighting for nearly four years to shatter French ruc in Algeria. That was last year, and the patrols and barbed wire bar ricades are still in the Casbah. The paratroops blew up great chunks of the tawny thick-walled jumble of buildings, killed some people, wounded others, carried still others olf to prison.

Casbah means fort In Arabic. You can see why the one on the hill in Algiers was an ideal fort lor the Moslem rebels. It is a fantastic maze of twist ing alleys and passageways barely wide enough for two persons to pass. They coil into each other like serpents through tunnels and secret doors that pierce the walls of this vast pile of masonry, in terconnecting houses and dwell ing places. You could travel miles in the Casbah and never be seen. Hordes of half-naked children, as thick as the swarms of flies. play in the cobbled alleys, slimy with water and refuse. The pite ous whine of a blind beggar min gles with the sound of students intoning the words of the Koran. Ugly, raddled women beckon from the doorways. Time stops in the Casbah. In 500 years little or nothing changed there until recently. Then, when the savage Moslem rebellion flared against France, nnd ghastly reprisals came in re turn, the tort became just that. Today, on the walls you see the French propaganda posters. Let s talk together about our lives," says one. A knife has mu tilated this poster. i The rebel leaders are having a good time with your money," say another. It is ripped in half. The whole world knows the rebels are abandoning you," says still another. It is spattered with refuse. Today nobody in the Casbah will talk about the possibility of a reconciliation between the Mos lems and the French.

William F. Knowland (H-Califl announced he will back a move to reduce the extension to three years. The House rejected a two-year limit. However, Knowland, the Sen ate Republican leader, said that while he reserves the right to sup port other amendments to the House bill he believes the Senate eventually will pass a measure generally satisfactory to Eisen hower. The bill would give Eisenhower authority to reduce U.S. tariffs on imports as much as 25 per cent over the five-year period in re turn for similar concessions by other countries on U.S. exports. senate Democratic Leader Lvn- don B.

Douglas (fMll) said he will try to reduce the amount which tariffs could be raised under the bill in cases where imports are found to be adversely atrectmg locally produced merchandise. Sens. Edward Martin (R - Pa) and John J. Williams (R - Del), members of the Finance Commit tee, said they are not happy about it but will go along with the five year extension.

PIECE OF PlEI Jeweled Garters May Be Newest Fashion Gag Now HOLLYWOOD (AP) Another, great talent search is over. They've found Porgy's goat. Samuel Goldwyn needed a very special animal for the goat who pulls the cart of the crippled Porgy in the film version, of "Porgy and Bess." It had to b strong enough to pull actor Syd ney Poitier, have stage presence and not offend the other actors with its aroma. Clarence Jones, who supplies animals for film makers, came up with 5-year-o!r Mr. Faust, a huskv. deodorized, talented goat. The new actor was located pulling a wagon lor children in an bast em carnival and was shipped here via air. Whv the name? Because Mr. Faust butts like the Devil, say tne whimsical studio aides. - At any rate, the goat has a six- month contract and the use of a stand - in. Mr. Faust will be watched closely.

Tiffany's, recalling that jew elled garters enjoyed a boom in the 1880's, decided they were just the thing for fall, 1958. The store reasoned that the short, slim skirts show more leg. especially when a woman's getting on a bus or out of a car, and that some decoration would help. The store provides the jewels and Mrs. Hortense Hewitt, the manufacturer, makes the garter setting. Presumably, the w e 1 1- heeled male will carry on from there for some of the garters cost as much as $12,000. Let's face it," said Mrs. Hew itt, "a garter is a sex attraction. When a man knows a woman has one on; he won't rest until he sees it." Mrs. Hewitt, an atfable woman who got into the garter business during World War . II, claims to turn out more garters than any other manufacturer some 25,000 dozen pairs a year. Many of these are bought for brides, and come in traditional blue and white. But come fall, her line will in clude budget-priced jewelled gar ters, with detachable clips or pins of rhinestones and other fake gems.

She had let it slip when she registered at the hospital as Mrs. Pierre La Salle. Suzy and De La Salle were mar ried Aug. 6, 1955. in New York City s Greenwich Village. Why did they keep it secret? De La Salle gave one version of the answer to a. reporter here and an attorney released a dif ferent version of it in New York. Confronted with the time and place of his wedding, De La Salle told John Carroll of the St. Augus tine Record "it's true." He said he, Suzy and Edward G. Nelson of Paris, a witness at the ceremony, swore they would never reveal it. "I did not want to reveal my private life," De La Salle said. "1 did not think it was anyone else's business." A New York attorney issued a statement in the count's name saying: "Suzy Parker and I have been happily married since 1955.

The railroad's proposal to cut the rates on lumber shipments from Oregon to California and Ne vada was rejected earlier by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The ICC said it would hear the proposals again in about seven months. Morse said that the hearing should be at once. The senator said he had received scores of let ters on the matter. from $2,000 to $5,000 a pair. The fad spread then, as Mrs, Hewitt hopes it will this fall, to less -expensive numbers decorated with silver buckles, antique coins or enamelled flowers.. The jewelry firm said one of its best sellers in the other gar ter era was a band of ribbon in scribed "honi soi qui mal y pense" (evil unto him who evil thinks). These were the words of King Edward HI to a tittering court throng in the 14th century, when Edward's dancing partner lost her garter. Edward gallantly picked it up put it on his own leg. and thus England s "Order of the Garter was founded.
