New Powers To End Rebellion In Algiers

ALGIERS (AP) -- French res- ident minister Robert Lacoste flew back from Paris Sunday and at once invoked his new and sweeping powers for stamping out nationalist rebellion in Algeria.

Lacoste issued a series of de- crees-approved by the French cabinet Saturday-which in effect puts Algeria under a state of emergency.

He announced troops now are being airlifted to reinforce the 230,000 here. The Frnch cabint has ordred two divisions from France's North Atlantic Treaty forces in Germany flown in. other 1,500 troops streamed ashore from troopships at Oran.

About 300 interceptor planes will be flown in to reinforce the all power now stationed in Algeria.

While using his get-tough pow- ers. Lacoste at the same time undertook measures to improve the economic position of Algeria's Arabs.

The struggle with the rebels went on, as it. has for 16 months. even as Lacoste outlined his pal- icies at I press conference. There were rebel attacks on the French and French counte measures.

LIcoste's new one-man author- ity gives him control over nearly every facet of life in this country of one rriilllon Europeans and eight million Moslems, a land four times the size of France.

BANS GATIIERINGS
