Hurt Badly as
Car 0verfurns

PARIS, April is .(R.-French
novelist FRANCHISE Sagan under
went a lung operation today
The 2l-year-old writer. whose
teen-age novel "Bonjour iris
Jesse" won her international
fame and fortune, was badly
hurt yesterday when her British
racing car overturned.
Doctors said there were nj
surgical complications and Miss
Sagan was breathing better
They added they still could say
nothing about a head injury she
suffered
Apparently the operation was
to collapse one lung.
Doctors said Miss Sagan suf-
fered severe shock and internal
injuries when her car somer-
saulted on a clear road and
landed upside down in a field.
The novelist was driving. Three
passengers - two men and a
woman-were injured only
slightly.
Sinks Into Coma
Miss Sagan was taken to a
Paris clinic. where she sank into
a coma and was placed in an
oxygen tent. Earlv today she
was reported showing sirns Of
recovering from her shock con-
dition and the tent was re-
moved. The clinic said she
passed a relatively quiet night
but still was only semiconscious.
Her physician. DR.. Jacques Le-
beau. left her bedside after a
long vigil. Two specialists also
examined her. A doctor or a
nurse remained with her con-
stantly.
Her mother arrived by train
at dawn from the family's coun-
try home in Southwest France.
Police were unable to explain
how the accident happened. Her
automobile, an Aston Martin, is
one of four high-powered cars
the young author bought with
the royalties from her books.
Visiting Dior Country Home
She and her friends were visit
ing at the country house Of
fashion designer Christian Dior
and went out for a drive near
Fontainebleau.
Miss Sagan likes to drive fast
and had been in several minor
accidents before. She said in
1855. on the first of her two visits
to the United States:
I've hit a good many trees
and shrubs with the first car
she bought. I hadn't good luck
with cars before. broke two of
my fathers. He wasn't very
happy about it. Then after the
book. paid him back. He hadn't
hoped for that. We-all my
friends and Like to drive fast"
The Paris police last year
threatened publicly to lift her
license unless she quit driving
so fast.

days before the opening Of
the new fall and winter COL

Buyers and some fashion
houses previously have pro-
tested against the syndicate'S
strict regulations. but this is
the first time that major
houses have withdrawn from
the protective organization.
Chanel Rebels
Chanel. who has been
known to disregard syndicate
orders on picture release
dates. sent a letter to syndi-
cate President Raymond Bar
has, head of the House OF
Patou. saying:
