French hide African toll 1,000 bodies buried in one common grave | To get the true total of Moroccans killed by the French in the last two weeks, French official figures must be multiplied by ten or 15, the Moroccan Itoqlal Independence Party spokesman, Dr. Ben-Aboud, told a Washington press conference on August 26. The same | applies to Algeria, where the correspondent of the French newspaper Le Monde reported that as a result of the shootings in the Carrieres Romaines area, there were over 1,000 bodies Shipyards on strike in West Germany By PHYLLIS ROSNER oe BERLIN Striking workers from two of West Germany’s biggest shipyards marched around the Hamburg docks this week, urging workers from other yards to join the strike. They chanted slogans and carried banners. The yards affected by the strike, Howaldts and Stuelckens, dismissed their nearly 12,000 workers and locked the yards. The work- ers’ march was the reply. “Drop plans for peace’ LONDON Intense pressure is now being exerted by the British. government on Tngku Abdul Rahman, recently elected Chief Minister of Malaya, to drop his election pledge to ne- gotiate an end of the Malayan war. The Daily Telegraph provided an example of this pressure when it wrote editorially: ‘df there is one overwhelming danger, it is that the new (Mal- ayan) government’s zeal to end the emergency may outrun its dis- cretion.” “They are heavily committed to a quick peace; their social, econo- mic and educational plans hang on it. \Are the Communists not in a: good position to force them to the | conference table?” ‘It is this British pressure which caused Tengku Rahman to declare in his statement that: “In the government’s view there is no justification for any negotia- tions with the Malayan Communist party or any intention to negotiate with, or countenance in any way recognition of, the Malayan Com- munist party.” Tengku Rahman then (proposed instead of negotiations simply to offer a fake amnesty on terms known to be unacceptable and differing little from former futile surrender demands. However, later reports made clear that when questioned on his statement he still left a loophole for negotiations. He said that while the govern- ment did not intend to negotiate, he, as a private citizen, might be ready to meet and discuss with a Communist leader. _ Mancouver Metal } & Chemical Workers’ Union Local 289 Extends ; ; ~LABOR DAY GREETINGS 111 Dunsmuir Street Vancouver 3, B.C.

Police tried to arrest some .of the strike organisers during the march, but failed. A triple police cordon stood in front of the Howaldts yard to keep the men out. The strikers are de- manding an increase of about five cents an hour. At a meeting of Howaldts men a speaker pointed out that in 1954 the owner had made $4,500,000 profit, representing a profit of $600 per worker employed at the ship- yard. This showed, he said, the employers were able to meet the wage demands. Over 23,000 workers are striking for more pay in West Germany, and a strike threatens among 50,- 000 metal workers in the Bremen area. At the Henschel Engineering Works in Cassel more than 10,000 workers are striking. The unions have not yet recognised this strike, although they are perfectly aware of the impossibility of, keeping up with ever-increasing prices on ex- isting wage levels. The building workers’ strike in, Lower Saxony, which started in Lueneberg, has now spread to two eae districts, Uelzen and Norden- am. In Kassel, a spinning factory crew struck, but later went back to work after winning a promise to grant the workers’ demands. lin the common grave there alone. He reports that in order to mini- mise events, French officers are claiming that the incident at Zef- Zef, near Carrieres Romaines, where 50 old men, women and children were wiped out, was the only one of its kind. Over 10,000 French troops sup- ported by planes, tanks, armored ears and including Foreign Legion men, are carrying on an offensive aimed at exterminating Moroccan resistance in the area of the Mid- die Atlas Mountains. What these troops are doing is not known, as the French auth- orities have imposed: a_ security blackout on the operation. ‘The French authorities in Al- geria are seeking to impose a simi- lar blackout om their activities there and the French Communist newspaper *Humanite charged that their’ correspondent Robert Lambotte was expdled from Al- geria because “the government fears the truth.” Lambotte was the first news- paper correspondent to report on the outrages being committed by French troops and settlers against the local population of Constant- ine. : E Reports from Constantine said that any Algerians found carrying arms were being shot on the spot, and although only seven Algerians were officially reported as killed Reuter reported that “many more were believed killed in mopping- up operations.” Tension was reported to be ris- ing in Casablanca and other Moroc- can cities when it became known that the Resident - General M. Grandval, was being “sacrificed” to the opposition of the French set- tlers. As a result, repressive meas- ures were intensified in Casablanca already under curfew and martial law.
