SITUATION Begins For

Fifty-two people have died over the past 24 hours in Algeria in a new wave of bloodshed and destruction sweeping the French territory, reports in Paris said today.

Algerian rebels are waging warfare in sup- port of demands for Home Rule similar to that granted to Tunisia and Morocco. Successive French governments have rejected the demands on grounds that Algeria is an integral part of France. Most of the 350,000 troops that France has in North Africa are on duty in Algerin. About 1,400 reinforcements landed yesterday at Pons, but Algeria
