Wins Rousinq
Assembly Vote.
London Accords
On German Arms
Are lndorsed
BY the Assoelased Press

PARIS. Oct. 12.--The French
National Assembly today gave
Premier Pierre Mendes- France d
resounding vote Of confidence,
endorsing the London accords
for West German rearmament.
Unofficial reports gave the
Premier 365 votes. An absolute
majority is 314.
Members of Mr.. Mendes-
Frances own Radical-Socialist
(moderate) Party, various center
and right of center groups. fol-
lowers Of Gen. Charles de Gaulle
and most of the French Socialists
made up the majority backing
the Premier.
Deputies Of the Popular Re-
publican Movement (MRP), a
Catholic party slightly left Of
center, had announced they
would abstain. This attitude was
expected because the MRP. the
party of Georges Bidault and
Robert Scnuman, believes the
London agreement does not 60
far enough toward the political
unification of Europe.
The Premier had not counted
on its support.
Had Socialist Pledge.
The Socialist Party's national
executive council made approval
almost certainty late last night
when members voted to authorize
the 104 Socialist Deputies in
Parliament to support Mr..
Mendes- France. There was no
opposition and only four absten-
tionS.
Virtually all the Socialist dep
uties apparently obeyed their
councils order, although nearly
half of them disregarded sim
liar dictate by opposing the de-
funct European Defense Com
munist treaty. The executives
resolution said Mr.. Mendes-
France had promised to seek
Socialist desired safeguards
against a rebirth of German
militarism.
There have been increasing
signs Of a move to bring the
Socialists into Mr.. Mendes-
Frances coalition government.
The premier has expressed the
desire for the party's support
and had made efforts to meet
its position on both international
and domestic affairs.
Mr.. Mendes-Fr staked
the life of his government on
the confidence vote. Failure to
gain a majority would have
meant his resignation and pos
sibly new national elections.
The success gave him a solid
mandate to continue negotia-
tions with the other Western
powers later this month when
the nine foreign ministers meet
here to fill in details of the
London accords.
Still Faces Rough Sailing.
The Premier still can en-.
counter rough seas when he
submits final treaty text for
ratification by the Assembly.
possibly before the end of the
year. .-s
Even the Socialist executive
was careful to point out that its
decision to support the Premier
in today's vote did not commit
the party on the final ratifica-
tion vote. A special National
Party convention must be called
beforehand to decide the Social
ist attitude.
Mr.. MendeS-France Is under
strong pressure to tighten up the
defense arrangements to prevent
the re-emergence of an autono-
nous German general staff and
German Army.

'Stee|making Pace

Decline in Economy
Dy the Assoeieisd Press

NEW YORK. Jan. 13.-Steel,
a bellwether industry, continues
to set sturdy pace. the national
Woodworking weekly, the Iron
Age, reported today.
With steelmaking operations
scheduled this week at rs per
cent Of newly revised capacity.
the industry gives no sign that
the economy Is headed into
anything worse than a moderate
decline. the weekly said.
1t felt that the same pace would
likely continue for the next sew
eral weeks, with operations
moving toward a probable high

dicted that the seasonal summer

deeper this year than it has
been since 1949, If wage nego-
tiations are settled amicably. II
a strike threatens. of course. the
rush Of customers to beat it by
building up inventories could
change the picture.

up. now that can company
strikes are over, the Iron Age
said. and outlook for the year
on this product is bright"
Lagging demand for alloy
steel products and sluggish or
dering Of tool steels was re-
ported by the weekly. Wire
products were mostly easy.
Demand for stainless steel
and electrical sheets has i'm
proved. the trade paper said.
Resurgence Appears.
Hope for a spring upturn,"
the weekly said, seems based
at least in part on simultaneous
resurgence of automakers and
suppliers, farm equipment max
erS and manufacturers Of air

equipment. Air conditioning
gives promise of being the
brightest star in the appliance
field this year."

ductions of 81 ton by q Detroit
