French Crisis Mounts
As Socialists Spurn
Council Presidency
BY the Assoeioied Pres.

PARIS, June 1.-THE French
governmental crisis mounted toda,
when the Socialists spurned the
presidency of the council and the
moderate Popular Republican Move
ment reafarmed the candidacy OF
Foreign Minister Georges Bidault
The Communists have refused tc
support any regime the moderate
new party heads.
Gen. Charles de Gaulle, often as
sociated with the Popular Republi-
can Movement (MRPD, emerged
from the political obscurity he
entered on resigning the presidency
six months ago, by declaring in a
speech at Bayeux yesterday that he
favored a strong executive and a
two-chamber legislature for the
fourth republic.
Hope for immediate solution of
the crisis dimmed.
Turns Down Presidency.
The Socialist party secretary-ge gen.
eral, Daniel Mayer, declared, The
president of the cabinet cannot be
a Socialist. The desires or decisions
of the other parties cannot modify
the will of the National Council of
the Socialist party. We will leave
to the parties more favored than we
the direction of the government"
The MRP became the leading
party in the new elections early this
month, taking the lead from the
Communists, who dropped to close
second place. The Socialists. marked
losers in the election, dropped from
second to third, and Socialist Presi-
dent Felix Gouin and his cabinet
have resigned.
De Gaulle's proposals were similar
10 those of the MRP.
While he was making this sugges-
ton, the Communist party's central
committee in Paris was voting
against participating in a govern
ment headed by Foreign Minister
Bldault. The Communists want a
Socialist t-headed government.
Return to Politics Doubted.
Most observers felt that despite
the De Gaulle speech, the general
had no immediate intention Of re-
turning to active politics. However
there was a strong belief that should
France choose a charter along the
lines he suggested he might become
the fourth republics first President
after next autumn S elections.
Explaining MS resignation, Gen.
de Gaulle told his Bayeux audience
that he had sought certainty that
nc question could be raised about
an individual, director of a state,
exercising an influence on the task
of the legislators"
Meanwhile, the immediate prob
lem for the nation was the forma-
ton Of government quickly. while
the Foreign Ministers Council is in
session and while a possible peace
conference is in the offing
In his BayeuX speech De Gaulle
warned of the threat of dictatorship
in France, and urged that public
poWers-legislative, executive and
judicial be clearly separated and
strongly balanced"
Executive power must be welded
by a chief of state placed above all
parties elected by college embrae-
ing the Parliament, but larger and
composed in such a manner as to
make him president of the empire as
well as the republic" De Gaulle said
The future presidents of the re-
public should be given the power OF
appointing their ministers and OF
exercising that influence of CONT
nuity which the nation cannot dc
without" he declared.
