Asked at his press conference if
he had any hope Of compromises be-

ministers meeting, Gen. Clay said he
was an eternal "optimist"
conditions of disagreement have
become so extreme that they might
lead to conciliatory measures not

| PARIS, Nov. 22.-The success OF
Premier Robert Schuman in win
ming a vote of confirmation from
the National Assembly appeared tc
have struck no spark of enthusiasm
among Parisians on the streets to-
night.
| Some half heartedly wished him
well, but seemed to feel that he was
only holding back the time until
Gen. Charles de Gaulle would ride
into Paris to take over the govern
ment.
A talkative barber said he wished
a popular front government hao
been formed in which one or two
Communist ministers had places
They would tell the miners to &C
back to work and they would go,
he explained.
But when he remembered that one
of the men he was talking to was
an American, he added: I'm the END

Mr.. Schuman at 81, is a wealthy
WidoWer who has become known fol

That parliamentary experience

chief interest during years of con-
slant service as a legislator.
AS finance minister in the Rama
dier coalition cabinet, representing
the Popular Republican Party
(MRP), Mr.. Schuman's personality
and habits became familiar to all
those in Government circles.
A bald-headed man with a red
dish-grey mustache, he works con-
stantly and quietly. He talks af-
fably in a soft Lorraine accent
but he does not talk much.
Frugal Although Wealthy.
During his tenure as Finance Min
lister he has lived in one tiny room
of the Finance Ministry.
Although wealthy from his fam
ily's fortune and his own efforts as
a lawyer, he has always been fru-
gal. He eats all of his meals in
the National Assembly Restaurant
where prices are among the lowest
in Paris.
He always orders the regulation
120-franc ($D lunch or dinner, with
no supplement except one glass OF
beer. He never drinks wine and
deteSts hard liquor.
He keeps his money in an old
fashioned coin purse along with his
bread ration tickets. He insists on
giving the tickets to the waiter
whether asked or not.
His most priced possessions are
rare books. which he collects.

He appealed to strikers to return

He was interrupted by Mr.
Bidault, who recalled that "yeSter-

will be shipped to France soon" He
was greeted by cheers from all but
the Communist benches.
Mr.. Schuman, born in Luxem-

first ministerial post in 1910 when
he was named an undersecretary o1

|taIy's Strike Wave
Subsidies, But General
WaIkout Is Urged
BY the Associoted Press


ROME, Nov. 22-Italy's wave of
strikes and disorders subsidized to-
day, but Pietro Nenni, pro-Com-
munist Socialist leader, warned
that a nationwide strike might be
called to protest violence against
the workers"
Drop by drop" demonstrations
should be avoided, he declared,
whereas a general strike will have
weight"
A spokesman for the powerful
C Communicated General Confedera-
ton of Labor threw cold water on
the suggestion. however, declaring
the thought of a general strike Is
Nenni's, not that of the Confedera-
ton"
Punishment Provided.
Meanwhile, the Constituent As
sembly approved new anti-Facist
and anti-monarchist legislation,
making the organization and direc-
ton Of armed Facist and monarch
ist bands an offense punishable by
as much as 80 years in prison
Membership in such a band is
punishable by 3 to Is years i'm
prisonment. A band was defined
as three or more persons.
Some Christian Democrats had
argued against the legislation, say
ing there already are laws on the
books against Fascism.
No new disorders were reported
after 10 days of leftist INSPIRED
strikes and riots which reached
from one end of Italy to the other
and took % lives.
Workers factories committees pa
raded for a national meeting in
Milan tomorrow, however, and a
Lombardy partisan parade celebrat-
ing the saving of Italian factories
from retreating German Armies was
to be held in Milan tomorrow also.
Some quarters feared the two gath
erings might provoke a fresh out
burst.
Farm Strike Called Of.
Agricultural workers in Apulia, in
southeastern Italy, where rioters
isolated several small towns in a
series of disturbances, and other
workers in Bari, on the southeast
coast, called off their general strikes
Negotiations on the agricultural
workers demands for larger share
of the bumper olive crop continued
in Rome, however.
Another strike along the lower Po
in the Rovigo area, was reported
ended when work was resumed in
the fisheries.
Leaders of the moderate italian
workers Socialist Party and the Re.
publican Party, both invited to col
laborate in a broadened government
by Christian Democratic Alcide de
Gasperi to combat the leftist attack
were reported to have reached
agreement on the conditions on
which they would accept the invi-
tation.
