The development came as the nation awaited President Charles de speech tonight on Algeria, which may touch off more violence. Authorities said the arrest of the men, identified as members of the secret operational headquarters, was the most severe blow to date against the terrorist underground in France. The secret army is sworn to prevent Algerian independence. A bomb believed laid by the secret army damaged a TV tower in the northern city of Lille. This is a tactic used by the secret army to black out important speeches by De Gaulle.

Transmission at Lille was not interrupted, however. A bomb also, blew in the doors and smashed windows at the regional administrative headquarters at Gernoble, in the Alps. There were scattered outbreaks of violence in Algeria. The blows of the secret army came despite elaborate security measures in both France and Algeria against violent reaction to De radio and TV speech. He is expected to make some report on progress toward ending the seven-year rebellion in Algeria.

French authorities said the members of the secret army were five officers and two lawyers. None is well-known. They were arrested while meeting in an apartment building in downtown Paris Saturday night. Authorities said documents seized included a list of police officers to be assassinated. Police who studied the documents have begun a series of followup investigations.

Thousands of riot police, 32 tanks, IOO squad cars and light armored vehicles waited on the alert on the outskirts of Paris. Troops took strategic positions in key Algerian cities to counter the threat of an uprising by the underground Secret Army Organization of Europeans fighting to keep Algeria French. For days high sources have leaked the word that secret negotiations between De Gaulle and the Algerian rebels toward a cease-fire are well advanced. Few observers, however believed that the time had arrived when the French president, who has dedicated himself to settling the rebellion, could announce a peace settlement.
