PARIS (Reuters)—Ferhat Ab- bas, head of the rebel Algerian government ported Sunday to be willing to accept a personal invitation from President Charles de Gaulle to visit Paris and discuss a pos- sible end te the four-year war in A a.

he report was published in the leading Algiers newspaper la De- peche Quotidienne and touched off new hope here of ending the bitter struggle, which has taken the lives of thousands of French soldiers and Algerian nationalists.

Government sources professed little. surprise at the’ report. Some such move has been expected or hoped for by Gen. de Gaulle since last spring.

At that time Abbas was ex- pected to come to Paris but the trip was vetoed by Krim Belka- cem, the man in charge of the Algerian insurgent military oper- ations. Because of his military following, Belkacem is reported to be more powerful in the ‘Free Algerian Government” than Ab-

bas. ‘ Biakacem’s opposition te peace

talks were believed to have beem bascd on his conviction that the insurgent movement in Algeria would be able to count on im creasing support from the Com munist countries. Fighting thea would drag on and as a result the United States would bring pressure on the French to enter into a compromise with the na- tionalist leaders

According to the Algiers news- paper, Abbas now believes that Belkacem’s opposition to peace may be overcome in the near fa- ture.

De Gaulle has made several ap- | peals to the insurgents in Algeria to lay down their arms and ac- cept “a peace of the brave.” He is strongly rumored to be prepar- ing a new move for some time in September.

The general is due to go to Ak geria in 10 days, a visit which may prove decisive in the at- | tempts to end the war.
