ing one on excess profits AMI
another on corporation reserves.
Mr.. Mollet won Assembly ap-
proval for this scheme by 273
votes to 1853, with 3 abstentionS.
There was never any doubt about
his victory in his oath confidence

against the plan and followers
of tax rebel Pierre Poujade joined
them.
Mr.. Mollet outlined his posi-
ton on peace for Algeria in a
speech at the tomb of Socialist
leader Jean JaureS, assaSSinated
just after the outbreak of World
War because of his opposition

Mr.. Mollet's plan for ending it
after Il months of fighting: A
cease-fire; elections three months
later; negotiations with the win
ners on an Algerian charter; es-
tablishment of joint rule by the
8 million Moslems and l million
French. The rebels say they are
holding out for independence as
a condition of any cease-fire.
