Center... - owNext Week Graham Memorial ttack Oy&Lil J Possible Imvasiom Of France Is Seen PARIS (UPI) President Charles de Gaulle ordered his loyal troops Tuesday night to liquidate the revolt in Algiers by "all possible means" including the use of arms. His dramatic order of the day came as rebel forces withdrew suddenly from Oran and Constantine in what government sources said, might be the prelude to an in vasion of France itself. The nation was placed on a full-scale alert and ar mored regiments withdrawn from France's NATO forces in Germany ringed the capital. Airports were blocked at dusk and night flights halted. De Gaulle warned earlier that France had reached its gravest crisis. He backed that Tuesday night with his order of the day including the use of arms. U. S. Sounds Warning De Gaulle dispatched the Mediterrean Fleet to Algiers as the fear of invasion grew. Po lice and gendarmes took up guard positions around key posts in Paris. Premier Michel Debre went before parliament and warned that the aim of the insurgents was to take over the heart of Paris itself. He said the civil war would strike France if the rebellion were not crushed im mediately. The U.S. State Department warned the insurgents . the United States would become directly concerned" should the insurrection spread beyond the borders of Algeria. But author ized French sources said France would not accept any offer of outside help to quell the insur rection. . v . . The first units of the French armored regiments arrived in Paris from Germany just before dusk and took up positions in the suburb to await orders. Se curity forces were placed on a night-long alert. . The government stepped up its roundup of known right wingers who might support the four-man rebel junta in Algiers. The rebel- withdrawal from Oran . came shortly after the WORLD MEWS BRIEFS By United Press International Cease Fire Accepted In Laos LONDON Both sides in the war in Laos today accepted the British-Soviet appeal for a cease fire. The British Foreign Office announced that the royal Laotian government formally accepted the call for a cease-fire. In Moscow, the official Soviet news agency Tass reported that the Communist-backed Pathet Lao also agreed to stop the fighting immediately. Space Shot A Flop CAPE CANAVERAL A U. S. attempt to fire a space cap sule carrying a "mechanical astronaut" into orbit ended today when the rocket booster blew up. The capsule was saved by an emergency escape system. The Atlas rocket blasted into the sky at 11:15 a.m. EST and disintegrated in a massive stream of fire and smoke less than one minute later. Total Embargo On Cuba? WASHINGTON The White House said today it has been considering clamping a total embargo on U. S. trade with Cuba. No decision has been reached yet on whether to go ahead with the plan. But press secretary Pierre Salinger said failure of the anti-Castro revolt last week has sharpened consideration of th proposal. He said such an embargo on shipments to and from Cuba has been under consideration for some time. Russians Still Aiding Castro MIAMI The Russians poured thousands of tons of goods into Cuba today to meet growing shortages. An official broadcast monitored in Miami said at least three Communist shipments to their Cuban allies have reached Havana docks in the past 24 hours. No war material was mentioned presumably any mention of such would be censored but the broadcast referred to oil, trucks, tractors, jeeps and "industrial equipment" among ths items received in quantity. - Four Pages This Iscus 1 FCDdDTDl A Co French light cruiser Maille Breze fired warning salvoes at rebel paratroop units at the big naval base of Mers-El-Kebir just outside Oran and repulsed a rebel attack on the base. On Invasion Fooling No one was reported killed in the first major firing of the Algerian civil war, but con scriptees evacuated to France from Algeria said seven sol diers had been killed in scat tered ghting and a number of others wounded. There were reports loyal sailors and marines at Mcrs El Kebir actually exchanged small arms fire with the invad ing paratroopers, but there was no government conformation. Shortly afterwards the rebel paratroopers who seized Oran Saturday began withdrawing from the port city, apparently toward Algiers, and loyal gov ernment troops began march ing in from the French Foreign Legion Base at Tclemen.
