De Gaulle Silent on Firing of General
PARIS — (UPI) — President Charles de Gaulle's office announced today he would visit revolt-ridden Algeria next month, but kept silent on whether he had fired paratroop Gen. Jacques Massu as military-civil leader in Algiers.
Reports, including a front page bannerline in the influential Daily Le Monde, insisted that Massu was ousted despite the risk of an uprising by right wing Algerian settlers who idolize him.
"Massu Won't Return
"Gen. Massu won't return to Algeria," Le Monde said.
De Gaulle, furious at anti-de Gaulle remarks attributed to Massu in an interview with a German newspaper earlier this week, barred him from a major conference today on Algeria. The commanders of the Oran and Constantine districts were present, but Massu did not even have a representative there.
Twin communiques issued after the half-day meeting between de Gaulle and the other chief military and civil administrators for Algeria made no mention of the Massu affair.
The first communique said the Gaulle "will go to Algeria Feb. 5 for an inspection trip of several days" and "will make contact with the army, the administration and the elected representatives of the population everywhere."
Policy to Stand
Th second communique assured the French settlers that the self-determination policy, which they oppose and which they fear will be changed to the advantage of the Moslems at their expense, will stand as is.
"The policy of France was fixed without ambiguity Sept. 16, 1959, by Gen. de Gaulle, adopted by the goverment and approved by parliament," it said.
The communique added that "the free choice of the Algerians" after peace is restored is "the only issue of this long crisis which is worthy of France."
"This decision, which would contradict itself by political negotiation, will not be twisted about."
Thus, in effect, de Gaulle told the million French settlers and the army in Algeria that the Paris government is making the policy for France and he intends to make it stick, whether they like it or not.
Wife Uncertain Of Mate's Guilt
DALLAS, Tex. — (UPI) — Mrs. Robert Spears said today she doesn't know if her husband is guilty of blowing up an airliner and killing 42 persons or not, but if he is, "let the chips fall where they may."
Mrs. Spens disclosed she met her husband twice within the past two weeks and he admitted that William Allen Taylor, a friend from Tampa, Fla., was aboard the National Airlines flight in his place when it plunged into the Gulf of Mexico on Nov. 16.
Around the World
She said Mr. Spears talked Mr Taylor into taking the airlines flight to Dallas, and her husband then drove Mr. Taylor's car to Dallas.
"I asked him if anything had been done to the plane. He assured me he had done nothing, I felt if something had been done to the plane, he would be blamed because of his past record." she said.
She said her husband told her Mr Taylor took the flight to get away from his wife.
"He told me he figured that it was just his time to go, but he (Spears) wasn't there (on the plane)."
Mrs. Spears talked to reporters in her darkened bedroom, dressed in a leopard dressing gown. Sitting cross-legged on the floor, silhouetted by the door of a lighted bathroom at her back, she nervously smoked cigarettes.
"He said he was sorry it had to be Mr. Taylor." Mrs. Spears said.
She said both times she talked to her husband she pleaded with him to turn himself in.
"I did not see any way out of it but to face the truth," she said.
The FBI searched the Spears' two-story brick home yesterday and reportedly took correspondence, a book of addresses, and 26 books on hypnotism. Mrs. Taylor said in Florida that she thought Dr. Spears might have hypnotized her husband to get him on board the plane.

19 Yale Students In Morals Case
NEW HAVEN, Conn.—(UPI)—A 14-year-old girl has identified at least 19 Yale University undergraduates as having been involved in immoral relations with her, police said today.
Detective Captain William F. Holehan said the girl picked out the students from their pictures in the University yearbook. He said seven of them already have been arrested and charged with lascivious carriage. This is a charge used in Connecticut to cover a variety of minor morals offenses.
Vigorous Women Needed in Politics
WASHINGTON—(UP)—Dorothy McCullough Lee, chairman of the Subversive Activities Control Board, urged women today to shed their "fears, timidity and inhibitions" and plunge into politics where they are "greatly" needed.
Mrs. Lee said women must overcome their fear of political activity, "fear of difficulties, fear of unpopularity, fear of voicing their opinions in public because of criticism that may follow, and usually does."
She told the women's council of the National Association of Real Estate Boards in a prepared speech that women's shyness about entering politics was "left over . . . from our dear great-grandmothers who had such definite ideas what activities were and were not lady-like."

World Liquor Clerk Has Own Still
PITTSBURGH —(UPI)— Donald Erwin's employers run a mighty profitable booze business. They don't like anyone to buck the monopoly—especially one of their own employees.
Edwin, 36, is a clerk in a Pennsylvania state liquor store.
The state found no fault with Erwin's salesmanship. But his bosses popped their corks when they learned Erwin was producing his own brand on the side.
Government agents testified in court yesterday they found a 30-gallon copper tank, coils, condenser, hot plate, pressure tank and 1550 gallons of mash in Erwin's basement.
Erwin denied knowledge of a still operating in his cellar. He admitted allowing "a friend named Charley" to put some things there.
Judge Homer S. Brown fined Erwin $100 and costs, the maximum penalty for a first offender.
"Now that I think of it, I did detect a perfume. But I never investigated," Erwin said.
