Kefauver Says Allies
Prevent French Strife
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Only Allied support of the De
Gaullist government is preventing
widespread civil strife in France,
Representative Kefauver, Democrat,
of Tennessee said today on his re-
turn from a tour of Europe.
THE French people are i'm
measurably worse eff than the
British" Mr.. Kefauver said.
They are having a worse winter
than they ever had under German
occupation. There is no food, no
fuel, no transportation. But they
welcome their liberation and look
hopefully for the end of the war"
Mr.. Kefauver, who toured Britain
and France at the British govern
ment's invitation, said his visit con-
vinced him that Gen. Charles dc
Gaulle has the support of a vast
majority of the French people"
But there are many elements and
sympathies," he added. THE De
Gaulle government, without the
backing of this Omitted States)
Government, undoubtedly would be
faced with great internal strife.
France has been in chaos, but the
French people are getting started.
The De Gaulle government is going
about its business very well, and
very cautiously"
French industry, he said. is Creep
ing back to production. The great.
est obstacle to industrial rehabilita.
ton, he said, is thee omplete absence
of coal in normally industrial cities.
