of the Assembly will be free to
take or leave as they see fit.
| This exclusiveness has just one
all-important objective: To break
away once and for all from the
"immobilism"-the paralysis OF
action and leadership which has
frustrated all effective govern
ment action in France for q
number Of years.
| Everyone recognizes the fac,
that this immobiliSm lies at the
heart of Frances political i'll
ness. Many would agree that
the tradition Of patchwork gov
ernments made up of various
conflicting parties and interests
is a major cause. Certainly. II
there is a single party or closely
knit group to grab control OF
the National Assembly and keer
it, the results might be spec
tacular.
Can They Succeed?
The only question is: How can
the Republican Front, holding a
minority of perhaps ITO seats in
the 627-member Assembly. get
away with any such bold, ex-
elusive line? Isn't it more than
probably that the opposition will
gang up at the first opportunity
and that the new experiment in
French government will come to
an end before it has a chance TO
get off the ground?
Perhaps. Certainly this i'm
preston is encouraged by leaders
on the right and Endorsed by a
number of competent pundits.
But there are a number of other
points in the overall political set
up which lead to a more hopeful
view.
For one thing, minority or not
/ the Republican Front still repre-
sents the largest single solid bloc
of votes in the Assembly. Fol
another, it is by far in the
strongest position, being able, as
the need arises. to draw support

munists $50 seats) or by sub

Greyhound Gets
Drivers Offer

A proposal to end a "continu-
GUS meeting" Of Greyhound bus
drivers in this area which has
halted service to and from points
north and west of Washington
was under consideration by bus
company officials today.
The company's answer to the
proposal was expected to be
given in a meeting with union
officers at 1880 pm. at the An
napolis Hotel.
Union officers presented the
plan for a back-to-work move
ment during a joint meeting last
night. The proposal calls for
return of the men under the con-
ditionS existing last Tuesday
night when the continuous union
meeting began in protest against
firing of one of the drivers.
The union plan was designed
to head of any disciplinary
actions" against union officers
or members who participated in
the work stoppage but does not
ask rehiring of the fired driver,
Mr.. Dorsey said. The fate of the
driver. r. T. Grossnickle of
Hagerstown, Md. would be left
to arbitration procedures set up
in the union contract with the
company.
Clark K. Dorsey. president Of
Local $685., Amalgamated Street,
Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Employees of America, ALL
CLIO, said another meeting of the
drivers is scheduled for A pm,
today at the Branchville tMd,)
fire house. The members will
get a report on the 1890 meet
ing with company officials at
that time.
Mr.. Dorsey and other union
officers have urged the drivers
to return to work and denounced
the work stoppage as illegal. The
continuous meeting got under
way through a rump session be-
gun by a committee of the driv-
ers who took over from union
officers.

Popular Front. But neither will
they reject their votes.
Moderates May Decide
On their mvestiture-for which
the Communists have already
pledged THEN support-and on a
number of subsequent issues, they
may well find themselves sus-
tanned by the hand of the Com
Imunist Party On others. where
the Communists are certain to
vote in the opposition, the job
will be harder. But it seems pos
sible that in a showdown, the
moderate leaders will think twice
about following their instincts
and overthrowing the govern
ment.
The principal reason is that
they know it is mathematically
impossible to form government
themselves, as long as the Com
.munists and the Republican
Front vote solidly against them.
1T is this virtual veto power over
any government not of their own
choosing which gives the front a
complete stranglehold on the new
assembly. Enjoying a solidarity
and voting discipline which the
right cannot match. they seem
ready to use it ruthlesSly to &C
compliSh their aims.
In the enc, it boils down to a
simple unpleasant choice for the
political leaders of the right:
Either submit to the virtual die
tatorship of the Republican
Front or do without a govern
ment. And much as they may
grumble in the face of this harsh
ultimatum, the first alternative
may in the end seem the lesser

Many conflicting views must

Counsel Job 10
Run for Senate
By L. EDGAR PRINA

Julien G. (Jay) Sourwine has
resigned as chief counsel Of the
Senate Internal Security Sub
committee to seek the Senate
seat once held by his sponsor and
Ibenefactor. the late Pat McCar-
ran, Nevada Democrat.
The announcement that the
I47-year-old lawyer was leaving
after Is years as counsel to Sen
late committees was made last
might by Senator Eastland,
Democrat Of Mississippi. subcom-
Imittee chairman. The resigna-
ton is effective January 81.
Although Senator Eastland
said that the subcommittee had
not decided on a successor to
Mr.. Sourwine. The Star learned
that Robert Morris. a New York
Municipal Judge and former
chief counsel of the subcommit-
tee, can have his old job back II
he wants 1t.
Firm Offer Expected
Judge Morris already has been
approached and a firm offer to
him is expected soon. The only
stumbling block appears to be
the matter OF salary. His. court
lob, which has eight more years
to go, pays $l7.500. The salary
for the subcommittee post is only
$I3,600. He recently turned dowr
an offer from Chairman Walter
If the House Un-American Activ-
titles Committee to direct the
staff of that group.
! There was no mention Of Mr.
