96 THE COHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, September 14, ied QUESTION OF PROFIT VAGUE Flaws Loom In Algerian Nationalization Giants' Woes On All Fronts SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- After 144 games, San Fran- ciseo Giants still seek two men to play on either side of centre fielder Willie Mays, And that doesn't even begin to go into all their problems, But they're still in third place in the National League within striking distance of the top, After dropping three of four to the last-place Chicago Cubs during the weekend, manager Herman Franks looked around and said; 'None of us have swung the bat well." Franks had high hopes for Ollie Brown as his regular right fielder. But Brown is batting only .227 so he's been benched Enter Frank Johnson, a late callup from Phoenix of the Pa- cific Coast League. After three hits in his first four at-bats, Johnson has gone sero - for- eight. Jesus Alou has developed a sore arm but is playing left field these days because he's hitting. Following a poor start, he raised his average to nearly .260. ir BY SLUMP Len Gabrielson, expected to see a lot of action in the out- field this year, is batting .205 and now is used only occasion- ally as an pinch hitter First - baseman Willié Mc- Covey and third-baseman Jim Hart were taken out of the line- up for one game apiece during the four-game series against the Cubs. At one point, Me- Covey had struck out seven times in nine appearances Hart came back.after a super slump and went three-for-six, all doubles, in the doubleheader Sunday The Giants' defence leaked 10 errors in the first three games against Chicago. Meanwhile, they got eight runs in four games and 22 hits. This is not all Franks has to foncearn him. His 20-camea win. ner, pitcher Gaylord Perry, has been unsuccessful in his last five starts, giving up 48 hits and 23 runs in 27 1-3 innings. Brain Drain Canada Gain | VANCOUVER (CP) -- In the long run, it's a gain to Canada rather than a brain-drain, says David Gibbons of his three-year teaching contract in Singapore. However, the departure of Gibbons and his wife Marion means the loss of a potential political expert on Asia and un- derdeveloped countries. "But really, the three years in Singapore--perhaps followed by some study in Europe--will give me more knowledge, more experience and will better qual- ify me when I return to teach in Canada,"' says Gibbons A graduate of the University of British Columbia in 1963, he went to Princeton for an MA and now is completing his PhD thesis for that university. His topic was a comparison be- tween Mao Tse-tung, Chinese Chinese Communist leader, and Chiang Kai-shek, leader of the Kuomintang "Unde rdeveloped countries are my field of interest," says Gibbons, "and since China is the most complex underdevel- oped country in the world, it! was logical to study the leaders | there." try finds many cases where serious flaws have devel- oped in the system. Rv PETER BUCKLEY BOUFARIK, Algeria (CP) The old man in the doughnut- shaped turban 'and the patched work trousers had worked on the same farm for nearly 40 years. For all but the last three years, his employers had been a long-established family of French "colons." In 1963 the farm was nationalized by an independent Algeria and turned over to the farm work- ers to run. "IT like it much better now," said the old Algerian, shuffling his booted feet in the earth of the peach or- chard and allowing @ gap: toothed smile to crease his weathered face. 'Now I'm free, I'm my own boss." : He is not only his own boss, he is che! d'equips (team Van daud fan an felt tima and part-time 'Jaborers in the or- chard section of the estate. The farm 15 miles east of Algiers is the second largest in the area and one of the richest in Algeria, a country almost the size of Ontario and Quebec combined. More than a third of its 1,500 acres is devoted to vineyards, The rest is divided among grain, or- ¢hards, vegetables and pas- ture, providing almost year- round crops for the 135 perm- anent workers to plant and harvest. The last members of the Barnabe family, who had founded the estate a century ago, have returned to France with as much of their assets as they could salvage. Now the estate bears the tiele of El Diammaouria--The Repub- lic--and it is a show-place of me vemocrauc ana rvopuiar Republic of Algeria. RUN BY COMMITTEE Across the tidy fields of grain and fruit trees and vines are the blue hills around Algiers, Florid bou- gainvillea covers the walls of the farm buildings and splashy flowers blossom along the footpaths. The North African sun glows hotly and a breeze touches the lines of fir trees that border the farm's dirt roads. It was a picture-book farm when the Barnabes ruled it from the oo] recesses of the rich manor house, and its beauty is intact despite the workers' councils and quolas that have come along under nationalization. Instead of old Henri Bar- nabe making all the. deci- sions, El Djammaouria's workers now gather solemnly once a year to elect a six- member management com- mittee, The national agricul- tural department appoints a general supervisor. Production is turned over to the state for sale, with the workers getting 'advances" of between eight and 20 din- ars ($1.75 to $4.40) a day, ac- cording to type of work, to be repaid when the revenue from sales is in and divided. But the question of how much profit the farm makes is left vague, and there is a utreagiy defensive reaction to questions about some aspects of farm operations. The defensiveness is easy to understand because farms like El Djammaouria are the yo of heated debate in Al- geria, WORKERS TAKE OVER The French word inevitably 'used here to describe such op- erations -- autogestion -- sounds like some mysterious form of car trouble, It trans- lates literally as "self-man- nt"--and--it--eppltes..te mere erenn an nthe trier we errbmamrce eh Timm hotels, cafes and stores whose workers took over their own operations after Algeria won independence from France in 962. Most of the original Euro- pean owners fled in panic after independence. Others, like the Barnabes, left when their property was national- ized, With virtually no trained management or technicians left in the country, many of the properties have suffered. Production has often dropped alarmingly and ma- chinery has fallen apart. Some management commit- tees were found to be eatin up their income in irrationa expenditures and high living. The national government was forced to pump m from its strained treasury into what were once profitable enter. prises. ; Now there's a new, sterner wind blowing. Accounting procedures are being tight- ened and outside supervision imposed. Loans from treasu must be justified and paid off out of earnings. Ever since the flamboyant Atimed Ben Beiia was ousied e2 -icouCNe = yomt any ain replaced by his more sober defence minister, Col, Hou- ari Boumedienne, government spokesmen have multiplied their threats against insuffi- cient autogestion. SWITCH IN POLICY Some large farms seized from wealthy French and Al- gerians have even been re- turned to their owners. Left- wing pressure groups, led by militant unions, protested loudy that the socialist revolu Algeria was being betrayed and the government was forced to nationalize some of the farms again, But others have remained in private hands.
