/ power as quickly as possible. This
movement is regarded sympathet-
ically by some American authorities
once cool toward Gen. de Gaulle.
After heading the war time Fight
| ing France organization and re-
turning to France as the first pro-
yisional president after liberation,
Gen. de Gaulle resigned in Janu-
ary, 1916, in disgust over endless
political party squabbling in his
coalition cabinet.
His ideas for a government with
a strong executive were voted down
by the French people last fall in
approving the Fourth Republic
constitution that went into effect
in January.
He emerged from his political re-
tirement last week end, calling for
the French people to organize them
selves into what would amount to
a political party supporting him and
his ideas in order to prevent a
dictatorship or anarchy. He urged
revision of the new constitution to
provide stronger executive powers.
Slow Growth Expected.
The de Gaulle campaign is ex-
pected to build up slowly. Barring
unexpected developments, little
chance is seen for a change ins the
French government within several
months. The present situation is
described as largely a jockeying for
position.
Gen. de Gaulle's success, in the
opinion of observers here, will de-
pend mainly on the craftsmanship
he shows in dealing with nom
Communist political factions to the
left of center. His chief backing
now comes from rightist elements
in France. To put his ideas across,
he will need the support of liberal
elements now. cool toward him.
His supporters count heavily on
the argument that Frances eco
nomic reconstruction can be car
ried out effectively only If some
one party can form majority gov
ernment to end confusion resulting
from the present multi-party set-up.

One of the most outspoken lead.
ers of a French anti Communist
movement is planning an early visit
here to seek to build up American
interest in a return to power iE
France of Gen. Charles de Gaulle
it was learned yesterday.
American officials, who feel that
a strong anti Communist govern
ment in Paris would be in this
country's interest, already are
keenly interested in Gen. de Gaulle's
new bid for leadership in the trou-
bled French political situation.
If he succeeds in winning the
wide popular support that would
enable him to form strong gov
ment, he undoubtedly would receive
firm backing from Washington.
Officials here emphasize, however
that there is no intention of in
tervening in French politics. Any
official support extended to Gen. de
Gaulle would have to come after
his leadership was established by
the French people themselves. But
this does not bar informal encour-
agement of the wartime French
resistance leader.
Relations Were Troubled.
Such encouragement Is consid-
cred important because Of the gen.
orally troubled relations between
this Government and Gen. de Gaulle
during the war, when he never won
political recognition to the extent
he thought he deserved.
Any remaining misunderstanding
are expected to be cleared up in
informal discussions with the
French political figure said to be
coming here within few weeks on
an unofficial visit. His friends, who
guardedly disclosed his plans, asked
that his name not be printed for
fear that French Communists might
succeed in blocking his trip.
A former cabinet minister not now
in the government, he was said to
be one of a number of French lead
ers of varying previous political
connections who are lining up be-
hind Gen. de Gaulle in a counter
Communist movement aimed at pro-
ducing government strong enough
to take prompt and effective action
to rebuild Frances economy.
Informed sources say a well-or-
ganized movement, with a strong
anti Communist tinge, is develop
ing for returning Gen. de Gaulle to
