Constitutional Committee was re-
ported today to have adopted a pre-
liminary structure by which France
would be governed by two parlia-

A majority of the constitutional
group agreed that selection of the
new chief of state" should be
made from q list of three names
to be presented by the retiring
chief of state. The choice then
would be made by the two cham
bers from the three. Rightist
tendencies had been that the, chief
Of state should be allowed to name
his own successor without ratifica-

would be 4 council of empire in

my Jay grow fainter and fainter in
the distance. He knew that they
were following Buster Bear, and by
the sound of their voices he could
tell Just about where Buster was.
His first thought when Buster left
was to get down out of that tree
as quickly as he could and find
some other hiding place. So he
started down.
Half way down, Prickly Porky's
slow wits, which had been wonder
fully quickened by the terrific
fright he had had when Buster so
nearly got him, began to work. He
knew from past experience that
when Blacky the Crow and Sammy

is all about. Prickly Porky's eyes
are dull. This is because he does
not have to use them a great deal
Looking down from his perch he

self was about. But he knew that
things are not always as they seem,
especially in the Green Forest. The
chances were that many of his
neighbors had been hiding where
they could see what was going on,
all the time Buster Bear had been
walking round the foot of that tree
1t was more than likely that clever
Old Man Coyote was one of these.
II this were so it would be just
like him to remain in hiding. hop
ing that Prickly Porky would do
just what he had started to do,
come down.
IF he is hiding down there"

nobody will know where 1 am. But
I guess after all this tree is the
safest place in the Green Forest.
Buster Bear tried to get me and
couldn't. He is the only one 1 need
be afraid of while I am in a tree,
and now I know I don't really need
to be afraid of him if I stay in
this particular tree. guess I'll stay
So Prickly Porky stayed. 1t was
just as we'll he did. Old Man Coyote
was hiding down below. He had
heard the news of how Prickly
Porky had lost most of his little
spears When Buster Bear had at
last given up and had gone away,
Old Man Coyote had hoped that
Prickly Porky would do just what
he started to do, come down. When
he saw Prickly Porky start to come
down he had licked his lips and
grinned. He had felt quite sure
that he was going to get the dinner
Buster Bear had failed to get.
Imagine how disappointed he was
when Prickly Porky stopped and
