<p> DIED. Jacques Soustelle, 78, World War II Free French
patriot and leader in the underground movement against Algerian
independence from France; in the Paris suburb of
Neuilly-sur-Seine. During World War II, General Charles de
Gaulle named Soustelle, a multilingual anthropologist, chief
of the Free French intelligence service in the fight to
liberate France from Nazi occupation. In the late 1950s, while
serving as Governor-General in Algeria and Minister of
Information under De Gaulle, Soustelle became a champion of
French sovereignty over Algeria. He quit his government posts
in 1959, allegedly to help direct a clandestine organization,
the Secret Army, in two aborted coups against the De Gaulle
government because of its move toward Algerian independence.
Three years later, after being charged with "attempts against
the state," Soustelle fled France. He spent six years in exile,
mostly in Switzerland, before returning home following a
general amnesty for those involved in the Algerian dispute.
