PARIS -(By Wireless) Premier Robert Schuman, the foreign-born Frenchman who suddenly was call- ed upon to take over the helm Of France in November, has now won much popular support that the De Gaullist forces are getting wor- ried. Gen. Charles De Gaulle had figured on letting Schuman con- tinue through the cold, lean months of winter-when more strikes are expected-and then take over in the spring. But now Schuman is making such political headway that De Gaulle is report ed planning a speaking tour to drum up more support for himself
 The new Premier, who managed to settle the French strikes by get ting tough with the Communists, was never heard of before in the U.S.A and scarcely heard of even in his own country. The reason is that he is one of the most retiring of men In France, although he lived in Paris for 28 years, he has never had home of his own. He merely rented one room in the home of friend, and when ele- vated to the all-important job of Finance Minister, one year ago, he picked out from the ornate and ostentatious Ministry Building only one small office for himself.
 All his life, Schuman has eaten in the restaurant of the Chamber of Deputies-which is about the same as having Speaker Joe Martin go up to the House of Represen- tatives restaurant for all his meals
 Finally, the new Premier is a man ot few words. He makes few CT speeches in one year than most French Deputies make in a month.
