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 in Cairo, was re-} Fee Jump - Causes Rift BY EDNA BLAKELY Canadian Press Staff Writer .
