Truce Negotiations Sought By Algeria TUNIS (UPI) — Algeria’s rebel “government - in - exile” today named five French - imprisoned rebel leaders to try to open truce negotiations with the French government to end the war in Algeria. A rebel statement of the decision to accept President Charles de Gaulle’s negotiation offer was read to the press by spokesman Ahmed Boumenjel in Tunis, headquarters of the rebel government. De Gaulle recently proposed that rebel leaders to to Paris to negotiate for peace and study his plan to give Algeria the right of self-determination through a plebiscite to be held when hostilities end. At first glance the rebels seemed to have given De Gaulle a slap in the face by designating rebel “deputy premier” Mohammed Ben Bella and four fellow prisoners as negotiators. But it was more meaningful than that. The rebel announcement was sure to inflame French 1 right-wingers who say force is the j only way of dealing with the rebels.

Threats Received By Shooting Victim NEW CASTLE, Ind.

First Concert Thrills Near-Capacity Crowd

By Bob Wall The Serenaders male quartet used the title of their third number to set the pace for their entire program Thursday night at the season’s first concert, sponsored by tlte Adams County Civic Music Association. The number was entitled, “Let Their Celestial Concerts All Unite.” The audience response to the male quartet from Chicago almost equalled their magnificent efforts that ranged from Beethoven to Broadway with little loss of grandeur—they were just that good. Could Prance, Too The vocal impressarios, Howard Marsh, tenor, Ralph Nielsen, tenor, Raymond Sharp, baritone, and Lawrence Gray, basso, showed their facility as a quartet with spritely interpretations of modern songs to the detailed renditions of the heavier, but dramatic concert, stage arias. They pranced as a robin with “Hey Robin, Jolly Rob-j in," and became polished practi-| tioners of their art with the stoio “Lacrymosa,” and “The Creation.” Each, in turn, performed a solo specialty at the Decatur Youth and Community Center that captivated the near capacity audience. Marsh thrilled the listeners with the lyrical “Mantanata,” popularly known as “You're Breaking My Heart.” and the Laßohemc aria, “Your Tiny Hand is Frozen.” And Get Funny Gray pulled the stops out with “Every Day is Ladies Day With Me” from Victor Herbert’s “Old Red Mill,” and sang the story of the knight asking forgiveness with “E Lacerato Spirito.” Sharp humorously defined the story of “David and Goliath” in cool and precise notes. He added

State Employe One Os Three Arrested INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)—A man arrested in a truck hauling five sltt machines was identified today as James Ackron, 47, Tipton, a field investigator for the Indiana Gross Income Tax Division. Revenue commissioner John Morris confirmed published reports that Ackron was affiliated with the tax iivision since 1956 and on the payroll at the time he was caught with- two other men Thursday morning for violation of a state slot machine law. Morris said Ackron has been suspended because of his arrest. But he said the suspension will be lifted if Ackron is acquitted or otherwise freed of the charge. The commissioner said Ackron would be fired if convicted. Ackron was with Patrick F. Collins, 23, Kokomo, and Robert Carter, 32, Kempton, when two Indianapolis city po 1 icemen stopped their pick-up truck in the north part of the city. The officers halted the truck because there was no visible license plate. When one of them lifted a canvas covering on the truckbed while the other wrote out a ticket, the slot machi es were discoveredCollins told officers the three were taking the slots back to Kokomo from Danville where they were used during a stag party, police reported.

the “Pilgrim Song” by Tchaikowsky, rounding out his portion of the solo ventures. Nielsen caricatured Handel with H. Hutchinson’s "Old Mother Hubbard” to the delight of youngsters in the audience, and quite a few adults, too. He impressed with Rachmoninoff's “In the Silence of the Night." The showmanship of the Chicago Serenaders stole the show when they turned their attention to comic relief. Gray swayed his way through “Asleep in the Deep,” while soundly hitting the bottom of his basso register. Big Hit With Os The selections from the “Wizard of Oz” most pleased the audience as they punned words to enhance the familiar sounds. Oz, as most people know, is a sort of nondescript place where the lack of brains is certainly no detriment to happiness. It’s the dreamer’s paradise, and the Serenaders brought it to the Decatui* stage last night with aplomb and gaiety. Besides being delighted with the gamut of their vocal repertoire, the audience probably heard its first carols of the season. And the grou pout-westerned Spade Cpoley and his Six Shovels with “Mah Lindy Lou.” They turned spicy and naughty in the rendition of “The Galway Piper," and intermittently lulled and rocked the audience with “Sooner We’ll Be Done with the World,” a number from their album "Hymns in Harmony.” They closed their fourth encore with the ever-popular “You’Ll Never Walk Alone,and made everyone believe it! James Angell was the pianist, who provided the subtle touches for the rousing quartet.

S3OO a month to travel around the state checking on delinquent taxpayers, revenue department officials said. The first published reports on the arrests and confication of the machines Thursday morning told of only two arrests, and Ackron s name was not among them. Later. the third man was identified as “Steve Acron” of near Anderjson.

Urge Allied Nations.; To Meet Every Year WASHINGTON (UPI) — NATO parliamentarians wound up a five day meeting today by recommending that a NATO “summit” conference of the 15 allied nations be held every year. The annual meetings of the chiefs of state were advocated in one of a series of resolutions adopted unanimously at the closing session of the fifth annual conference of members cl NATO parliamentary bodiei. Another major resolution urged free world leaders to exert “more initiative” in bringing about a workable disarmament plan with effective controls and inspection. Adoption of the resolutions submitted by the political committee completed the formal program. But after adjourning, a delegation paid, tribute to the late GenGeorge C. Marshall by placing a wreath on his grave. Marshall is credited with sponsoring the Marshall Plan which saved western Europe from Communist inroads a decade ago. ~ On disarmament, the group's general declaration stated that “a fair and permanent peace . . . will not be achieved and maintained until there is . . . disarmament of all weapons, conventional as well as unconventional,” / In addition to foolproof inspection and control machinery, it called for establishment of “a sufficient and effective international police force” to enforce settlement of disputes througn "international judicial decision.” Two Minor Accidents Reported By Poliqf City police reported two minor car accidents this morning with one occurring at 1 p.m. Thursday.
