ALGIERS--Ten French soldiers were killed Saturday night when Algerian Nationalist rebels ambushed a convoy escorting workmen near Port Tigzirt, east of Algiers. Three native workmen and one European also were killed in the ambush. Army sources said the convoy was moving through a difficult mountain terrain largely controlled by the Nationalists...

In the euphoric aftermath of the 1955 Bandung Conference, Red Chinese Premier Chou En-lai negotiated with Indonesia a curious treaty giving the Chinese settlers the option of either citizenship; but, in fact, nearly 75% retain Red China passports.

Private U.S. investors have put only $54 million into Formosa, partly because they object to the terms of Formosa's foreign-investment law, partly because of sad experience with the widespread "squeeze" system, through which some Formosan officials almost seem determined to run foreign businesses out of the country, not bring them...
