9th French Vote Fails to Pick
President, but L0nieI Gains

is used only once each seven
years for election of a president
Mr.. Laniel'S climb in the poll
after a reverse on the fifth ballot
was believed by observers to
augur well for him. His gain
seemed to be the result of the
failure of the Radical Socialists
to put forward a new candidate
strong enough to pull through
for the middle readers.
Yvon Delbos started out as the
candidate of the Radical Social
lists. He dropped out yesterday,
and Mr.. Medecin entered the
race for the party today.
Called Shocking Spectacle.
Never before in Frances re-
publican history had more than
two ballots been necessary to
choose the chief of state.
French newspapers, although
Injured to the haggling of the
nations many political parties,
were calling the election a
shocking and even humiliating
spectacle"
Mr.. Laniel is a mild supporter
of the American-backed plan for
six-nation European army to
include West German troops.
Mr.. Magellan opposes the plan.
Mr.. Medecin has never had to
take a stand on major foreign
policy issues
The new president is to sue
ceed Vincent Auriol. a 69-year-
old Socialist who completes a 7
year term next month.

ity bonds declined steadily until
the final trading session when
they turned mixed. The Associ-
ated Press railroad average hit
three successive new 1858 lows,
while A.. P.'s utility grouping
reached two new lows. Indus
trial bonds were surprisingly
quiet in view of the sharp stock
market shakeout.
Prospects of an easing of world
tensions flrmed the foreign Sec
tion. The A. P. foreign bond
average reached 1873, a yearly
high. Defaulted Greek, Yugo-
slav, Czech and Polish obliga-
tionS were in demand. Japanese
bonds were steady. Even Czarist
Russian bonds climbed to two
year peak at 512 on the Ameri-
can Stock Exchange.
Financial circles were agreed
that the decline in corporate
bond prices reflected the break
in stock prices. Both were due
to the Russian peace moves,
which if sincere and successful,
might cause cutbacks in defense
production and uncertainty in
several industries.
