The general consensus of the

At several points there was
Iharp disagreement among the 3

The most controversial question
was whether the conference should
go ON record as favoring the estab-

$500 Renault auto workers still were
on strike demanding 10 francs per
hour more pay. Communists were
still backing the strike, which is why
they refused to favor the vote of

Mr.. Ramadier and his cabinet still
were opposing any salary raises, in
cluding those demanded by Renault
laborers.
But Mr.. Ramadier's action in

the Communists and equally impos-

temporary periods in Office except
Gen. de Gaulle, who resigned in dis
gust over the continual dissension
which usually found the Commu-
nists upholding one position against
all other parties.
None dared take the risk that
Mr.. Ramadier has-the risk that
the Communists might tie up the
nation with general strike by way
of protest against the policies of
any government they are not form
