FIL ISAY MAN IS SLAIN .FOR MOVIE MS Claim Gendarme Bribed To Shoot PARIS (AP)--Pictures taken in Algeria last fall--showing a French Gendarme shooting down a rebel-- became a last-minute issue today in the campaign for Monday's gen- eral election. Georges Ch ass agne; Algerian correspondent for an American newsreel company, denied 'the sgandalous accusations" that he bribed the gendarme to kill the rebel for a newsreel shot. The charges were first made by the newspaper L'Express, former premier Pierre Mendes-France's organ. Later the government said the story was true and the interior ministry said it had filed charges against the cameraman and the gendarme, without naming either. Premier Edgar Faure accused L'Express of acting for "electoral |ends" and of "losing sight of the elementary sense of national inter- est." The government accused tne paper of damaging army morale, FIRST PUBLICATION The pictures, although widely used abroad as newsreels and as still photos in newspapers and magazines, had never been pub- lished in France until L'Express printed them Thursday. asked for any posing for pict: I never saw the gendarme bef I have never seen him since and... certainly never bribed any gen- darme." Chassagne said he knew nothing about government legal action against him. Fox Movietone's Paris office is- sued a statement protesting the bribery charge. It said: "Our rep- resentatives receive orders for scrupulous and impartial informa- tion only. We have no knowledge of their ever having failed in this uty. The photographer was not identi- fied, Dut he was understood to be French, INFLAMES RIVALRY The government admission fur- ther inflamed the bitter political rivalry b etween Faure and Mendes-France, chief opponents in the Jan. 2 elections of a new Na- tional Assembly. L'Express reprinted five pictures of the shooting from the newsreel film--which st appeared last summer--and with it a number of atrocity stories by reporter Jean Daniel. "The affair of the flim is confirmed," the paper says in a headline today. It also prints a Ch a Fr who was born in Algiers and has lived there most of his life, flew to Paris to give his own story. In a declar- ation for newsreel and television cameramen in the offices of his employers, Fox Movietone News, Chassagne said he 3 Ey "Chassagne said he - went 'with five other' persons--movie camera- 'men and reporters--to an operation at Aina Bid, where "in- nocent victims, includi took the pic-{to su from Daniel charging French censorship in Algeria with ° hiding the facts of the campaign.

He has been campaigning against what he calls Faure's do-nothing policy in Algeria, and has predicted that a policy of force will lead to a situa- tion worse than the French debacle in Indochina.
