pinay Forms Cabinet
And Awaits Assembly
Vote on Selections
BY the Assoeiaied Press

| PARIS, Mar. 8.-Conservative
Premier Antoine Pinay succeeded
today in forming a cabinet that
reaffirms the place of France in
the Western worlds defense. Now
his big problem is to get the frac-
tious National. Assembly to ap-
prove his selections.
Sixteen of the II men in the
major jobs are veteran ministers
mostly of the middle-road type
The only newcomer is a 46-year-
old independent, Pierre Garet. as
signed the labor portfolio.
If the National Assembly in
dorSes the selections. in a vote due
Tuesday, the cabinet will become
Frances Goth government since
France was liberated from the
Germans in 1914.
Schuman Remains. at Post.
If it doesn't, France will drift
farther the imitation and in
solvency that has threatened her
role as the major continental
power of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization.
Robert Schuman remained at
the helm in the French Foreign
Ministry after a hard, all-night
struggle. His friends insisted he
be retained as a pledge France
would continue support of NATO,
armed resistance to Communism
in Korea and Indo- China and a
unified European army including
West Germans. Other politicians
insisted that he be replaced. At
one point it looked as if the pre-
mier could not get the two sides
together and would have to quit.
Mr.. Pinay, a well-to-do leather
manufacturer, took over the port
folios of finance, the budget and
economics affairs as well as the
prime ministry. This gave the
cabinet right-wing tinge.
Pleven Replaces Bidault.
The other big change was the
replacement by ex-premier Rene
Pleven of Defense Minister
Georges Bidault, who fell i'll at
the NATO conference in Lisbon.
Mr.. Pleven is the author of the
Pleven plan for a unified European
army including West Germans.
In the Assembly vote Tuesday, |
The new team will need every mid
lie and right-wing vote it can get.
Mr.. Pinay was confirmed last
week only because q De Gaullist
deputies defied the leadership of
Gen. Charles De Gaulle and voted
against the party line he laid
lown. None of them went into
Mr.. Pinay's cabinet, so there is no
guarantee that they will repeat. |
The cabinet meets Monday to
plan its tactics for the Assembly |
debate. If they win the vote, they
,an start work. If they lose, the
whole job of consultation. nego-
5iation and intrigue starts over

French Almost Ready
For Quantity Output ol
Promising New JET
BY The Associated Press

The Mutual Security Agency
said yesterday the French aircraft
industry, aided by $50 million
worth of American machine tools,
is nearly ready to start quantity
production of a promising new
Ijet fighter.
The plane, the "Mystere," MD
452. has proved superior in some
ways to the Korean-tested Ameri-
can Sabre, the agency said.
BY the end of 1852, the French
expect to be producing about 80
jets a month, as a contribution
to the aircraft production target
Of the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization. The NATO goal is
1000 operational aircraft in West
ern Europe by the year-end.
The Marcel Dassault Aircraft
Co. at Bordeaux is the prime con-
tractor for the new program, but
manufacture is being carried out
by six French concerns. Assembly
line production is expected to
start next month. the agency said.
Sweptback- Wing Craft.
It added that American aid
funds financed the purchase of
special machine tools from the
United States to speed start of
the work.
The mystery is a sweptback-
wing craft. actual performance
data of which is still secret. The
agency said, however, an older
sister plane, with less power, made
record than the Sabre
in two particulars in actual tests
by American and French pilots.
These were listed as greater
maneuverability at high speeds
and "a better showing at brak-
ing" while landing.
The Air Force issued q separate
announcement which called the
MD 452 ian excellent aircraft"
but which said the craft was not
tested in mock battle against the
American F-86 Sabre.
Made Flights.
The Air Force statement was IS
sued by Brig. Gen. Albert Boyd,
who assisted French authorities in
evaluating the French jet fighter
and who, with Maj. Gen. Charles
E. Yeager. had made flights in
the new jet.
Gen. Boyd asserted specifically
that the tests did not include
simulated combat and that no at
tempt was made to test the rela-
tive maneuverability of the 'Mys-
tere' and the Sabre jet"
Gen. Boyd said he and Maj.
Yeager were both convinced the
Mystere is IAN excellent intercept
tor" and that both recommended
its production to the chief of staff
OF the French air force.

MY dear Senator: Realizing the
agonizing ordeal to which you have
been so unjustly subjected. it is
my great privilege to say to you
that the combined decisions of
Dwight D. Eisenhower and an
overwhelming majority Of the Re-
publican National Committee
members remove any doubt what
ever about your status. They not
only want you to remain on the
ticket as the party's vice presi-
dental candidate, but they de-
mand it. I am certain that these
have been trying days for your
wife, your mother and your father,
but I know that like all of us
they are prouder Of you today than
ever before.
Therefore. as chairman of the
Republican National Committee.
permit me to congratulate you and
assure you that not only every
Republican, but I believe the vast
majority of the American people,
intend to put their shoulder to the
wheel to make certain that the
great team of Eisenhower and
Nixon is elected next November f."
