A few ministers of the Ben Khedda government fled to the Kabylie Mountains to join with some 8,000 guerrillas in a stand against Ben Bella.

From there they called on the population and soldiers who fought for independence from France to organize resistance "in every town, village and hamlet."

AN EXAMPLE of the shifting tide was seen In Manchester last night when Waldon Shrum, chairman of United Mine Workers Local 8S81 at Tracy City, ap-proached Farris to assure him of his support.

Hitting hard at Clement and Farris during a six-stop swing through Middle Tennessee, Olgiati calli. their charges against him "political desperation." To his U3Ual criticism of the former governor's record, Olgiati added several blasts at Farris to his speeches. "BILL FARRI3 is a pretty nice younrr man as far as I know," Olgiati said. "But he knows he can no more win this race than straight up. "If he hadn't had several blood transfusions in the last couple of weeks, he would have been back on the bluffs of the Mississippi at Memphis by this time." The mayor said elements of Clement's machine have kept Farris in the race to split the anti-Clement vote.
