Missing 400 paratroopers from Algiers revolt
Four hundred paratroopers from the abortive generals revolt are reported missing at Zeralda south of Algiers. Speculation says they may have fled to the hills to wage guerrilla action against the French Army. Ex-general Maurice Challe, charged with plotting against the state, was flown from Algeria to Paris under guard after stumbling at the military transit port and being jailed. Raoul Salan and Andre Zeller and Edmond Jouhaud were last seen in Algiers in civilian clothes, with Salan and Jouhaud reportedly driven to the Foreign Legion base at Zeralda.

Australia adds 78 million for overseas resources
Mr Holt explained that the 78 125 million pound transfer from Australian second line overseas reserves would bolster front line reserves of international currency. He argued it is precautionary and not due to fear of insufficient reserves, noting seasonal calls on reserves and potential drawdowns over six months. He cited total holdings of 388 million pounds, with room to draw up to 88 million from IMF credits. The House blocked debate as no formal motion to print the paper was made.
