French to Vote
On DeGauUe
Resignation Offer

PARIS -WP) - Gen. Charles De
Gauue'S resignation plunged France
into her gravest political crisis
since the liberation and threat
ened to spit the nation on the is
sue of CommuniSmS role in the
New Republic.
De Gaulle resigned the presiden-
cy Friday night after three days of
fruitless effort to win Communist
support in the formation of an in
term cabinet that will guide
Frances destiny until the Fourth
Republic comes into being next
year.
The Constituent Assembly will
meet today at 3 pm. 20 am. EST
to decide whether to accept De
Gaulle'S resignation and elect new
president or attempt a compromise
to keep him in office.
Informed political observers be-
lieved the shrewd De Gaulle was
banking on his tremendous personal
popularity with the French public
to force his political foes into line
and restore him to the presidency.
The Communists fatty refused to
join De Gualle'S proposed cabinet
unless they were given one of the
three top ministries-foreign af-
fairs, war. or the interior.
His refusal to yield on that point
drew angry charges from the Com
munistS that De Gaulle's stand vas
al insult to the millions of
French voters who gave the Com
muniSts more seats in the Constit-
uent Assembly than any other
patty.
There appeared only two major
possibilities if the assembly accepts
De Gaulle's resignation:
/. That the Communists. Social
lists and Radical-Socialists might
try to drop De Gaulle and form
a Leftist, Communist-Do
cabinet with an assured majority
behind them in the assembly.
2. That the Socialist Party might
bargain with the Catholic move
ment Republican Populaire for for
nation Of a coalition government
headed by De Gaulle.

First He's Missing

First Senator Johnston (D-SC)

Mrs. Robert E. McDougan, OF
Charleston, S. c., when she came to
town.
Now he can't find her.
Sunday night it seemed pretty
certain to the niece that even a
senator can be lost in Washington.
She tried all the usual sources
but nobody seemed to know the
telephone number of the South
Carolina senator with the new
$27, 500 home in suburban Wash
ington. Finally Johnston's South
Carolina colleague, Senator May
bank, furnished the number.
But the story didn't end. Today
it was Senator Johnston's turn to
hunt. Somewhere in the excite
ment of hearing how hard he is
to find, Senator Johnston misplace
ed the address his niece gave him.
And he was supposed to call her
back. He is just about ready to sing
blues all his own:
