Algiers Quiet But Ominous Riots Hint at Algerian Policy Tension
Algiers returned to routine after Armistice Day rioting left about 100 injured. Teen-age students clashed with riot police in two major rock fights lasting over an hour, as authorities used tear gas and mass arrests.

Satellite speed change could avert missile strike test
The Air Force described a plan to test a satellite’s speed increase to alter its orbit and avoid a missile. They noted no intent to stop the engine but would test the capability in future launches. Previous Discoverers ejected capsules on the 17th orbit, about 27 hours after launch, with ground signals likely on the 17th pass or any pass over the recovery area.

Rocket Launch Navigates Overcast Sky To Orbit
The rocket lifted through dense clouds and vanished from sight within seconds as it swung its engine to correct its course. Officials later said ground communications confusion caused doubt about the second stage engine’s orbital success, but the maneuver was successful.
Communications Restore After Satellite First Orbit Review
Radio data from the satellite’s first Earth orbit was unavailable but reappeared on the second pass. Computers processed the signals to confirm the craft’s orbit was satisfactory and stable for continued operation.

Bishop Tells Cubans They Must Fight Reds
In a pastoral letter read in Santiago Cathedral the archbishop Enrique Perez Serantes urges Cuban Catholics to resist communism from within their ranks rather than rely on U.S. military or economic power. He notes 2.1 million in his diocese, 110 churches, and praises U.S. anti communism spending while warning it may be insufficient to curb Marxist ideology. The letter avoids naming Fidel Castro or linking directly to his government.
