The practice of talking out a hill seems to have become one of the“ loot: oi parliamentary lit. for several reasons.

It happens in the Commons and

normally is applied to, billsprr '

sented by private members—- which usually means opposition members. '

lit is simply this: In the lim- ited periods—usually an hour set aside on certain days—devoted to private members’ proposed. legislation each session, the goo armament of the day has its'mem- bets debate a measure to thean

The practice has one main pur- pose and that is to ensure that the governing party is not em- barrassed by the stand it might have taken on whatever issue as private member’s proposedles- lslntion might raise. .' ‘

It is a practice :— Iollowed in the past by Liberal governments

Another reason is that the gov- crnment might have something similar in mind, but is not quite ready to bring it forth. So its

De Gaulle Hos Ambitious Plan For Algeria

By JOHN BUSH

ALGITEtRS (Reuters)-—Premsier Charles de Gaulle Thursday night a n n o unced an ambitious program for Algeria. At the same time, he issued a sharp rebuff to the extremist all-Algeria pub- lic safety committee. «

In a radio broadcast, de Gaulle promised a new deal in fields as far apart as schools and postage stamps. He said the revitalized North African state will be de- veloped industrially and agricul- turallym

His rebufif to the public safety committee came when members went to the summer palace to see the man they helped bring to power. Geri. Jacques Massu, paratrooper president of the com- mittee, came to the Mooridh— style gates and told them the general was ‘too busy."

The committee members sent a delegation to de Gaulle. There were indignant comments among supporters of the committee when. the news became known.

The broadcast caused some

‘sappointment. A spokesman for the public safety committee said the speech was not all the com- mittee had wanted although the economic measures were “cer- tainly pleasing." ,

SOME REGRET .

There was regret at de Gaulle’s lack of precision con- cerning future relations between Algeria and metropolitan France.

In his radio broadcast, de Gaulle said ' the education pro- gram will be extended so that “all Algerian, children without exception go to school."

As one small step in bringing together metropolitan France and Amelia, both sections of the na- tion will use the same postage

In the more important field of voting, Europeans and Moslems —bothmena;ndwomen—vdll vote together in fortchoming elec- tions._

The premier spoke at the end of n three-day flying visit.
