Dissident envoy Mohamme Khider made the disclosure} after emerging from a_ three- hour meeting with Vice - Pre- mier Mohammed Boudiaf, who was released by dissident troops Tuesday. Khider told reporters a final reconciliation session will, be held Thursday morning and "we will then be able to an- nounce the final solution of the) crisis and bring back hope to| the people.' Today's talks opened shortly after the arrival here of Bou- diaf, released after being: cap- tured in eastern Algeria Mon- day by troops backing Vice-Pre- mier Ahmed Ben Bella JOINS TALKS j Boudiaf and Khider were joined in the talks by Belka- cem Krim, co-leader with Bou-| family home in M'Sila, eastern Algeria. He was handed over by his abductors early this morning, to Rabah Bitat, a pro-Ben Bella minister of state, who flew to meet him in the eastern city of Setif. Boudiaf then flew with Bitat to Algiers to join the reconcilia- tion talks between Krim and Khider. Khider refused to give details f hs discussions with Krim. He would only say: reached a new start." But the release of Boudiaf-- Ben Bella's staunchest opponent in the nationalist movement-- undoubtedly removed a major} ' obstacle to ending the quarrel. Ben Khedda and _ two of his key ministers had called for Boudaif's 'immediate" release, adding that his presence at the "We have! | | | reconciliation talks was "'indis-| pensable."

Malformations in about 40 babies born in Canada have been blamed on the fact that the mothers took the sedative during early pregnancy. A woman doctor at Johns Hopkins University in Balti- more, Md., estimates in an article in scientific American magazine that the total of thal- idomide-deformed babies might reach 7,000 by the fall--6,000 in Germany and 1,000 in other countries.

More than 16,000 workers went on strike at 12 Reynolds plants and 10 of Alcoa's instal- lations. In addition, two craft unions with 225 members went on strike at the Reynolds plant at McCook, Ill., making idle 2,900 workers, who refused to cross picket lines. The craft unions' contracts also expired. Eddie R. Stahl, president of the Aluminum Workers Union, said main issues in dispute were job security and protection against displacement by auto- mation.
