| Description: | ALGERIA AFLAME President Degaulle's visit to Algeria, to rally support for a referendum, is the spark for explosive rioting by die-hard French settlers, who clash with troops in fierce duels in which molotov cocktails and tear gas bombs are exchanged. The army stays loyal to the government, and puts down the riots, in which a shocking death toll leaves Algeria briefly quiet again. Military brutality. Man is pushed down by soldiers, and beaten with rifle butt. Tanks in streets. | |
