Felix Gaillard today won q NTH
confidence vote from Parlia-
ment on his demand for a spe-
cial economic powers bill, but
there was danger HIS Socialist
ministers might bring down the
cabinet by resigning later In
the day.
The ofiicial vote was an
nounced as 223 to 1877, on Sec
ond reading Of the economic
powers bill first approved by
the Assembly November 10.
Only 4i0 Of nearly 900 dep
uties were present and the OPP
position came mainly from the
Communists and the rightist
Poujadists.
There were moments of panic
when the ballot opened. be-
cause few government support
ers were present in the As
sembly and the Communists
and Poujadists were on hand
In force.
Frantic telephone calls
brought members Of the ma
jority Fastening through the
fog from all over Paris during
the next hour.
Socialist Opposition Strong
Meanwhile. Socialist oppose
ton to much Of the Gaillard A.
nancial program was so strong
that their ministers in the
coalition were threatening to
resign.
Mr.. Gaillard told friends he
would certainly quit II the So
cialists carry out their threat.
That would plunge France into
still another government crisis
exactly one month after the
last one ended.
The possibility OF some COM
promise settlement remained.
Mr.. Gaillard. backed by F-
nance Minister Pierre Pfiimlin.
met with Socialist Leader Guy
Mollet while the confidence
vote was taking place. The dis |
cusSion was reported TO have
been heated and no immediate
agreement was reached.
A cabinet meeting on the dis
pute was scheduled later
today.
The Socialists strongly op-
pose Mr.. Gaillard's decision TO
slash government subsidies
which now help hold down the
price Of certain foodstuffs, in /
Guiding bread.
Want Wage Demans Met
They also oppose the offer
70 meet only partially the wage
demands Of q million govern
ment employees threatening a |
nationwide strike. The Social
lists want the demands met in |
full.
Finally the Socialists are
against plans for a new series
Of indirect taxes which will
send up prices Of staple prod
ucts. They prefer more taxes
on corporations and luxury |
type goods.
Four Socialist ministers are
in the Gaillard government,
which ranges from Socialists
on the left TO Conservative In
dependent p easants. The
Socialist members are Foreign
Minister Christian Pineau. now

for ways to Offset this added
expenditure by cutting nom
defense expenses. a pay raise
would only aggravate the fiscal
situation.
However. It's reported that
President Eisenhower and
Presidential Assistant Sherman
Adams are siding with those
White House officials who argue
that Government workers are
entitled TO a pay raise next
year to offset rising living costs.
But the fact that the g per
cent raises for classified and
postal workers plus an increase
for military personnel will cost
81 billion Is causing the White
House TO balk at any higher
civilian raises than the pro-
posed 9 per cent.
Meanwhile, at an all-day
conference with top Republican
congressional leaders yester-
day. President Eisenhower and
his aides discussed the clas-
sified and postal pay raise
situation.
Afterwards. Press Secretary
James Hagerty said that mo
decision" had been reached
and that further discussions
would be held with O. o. p.
congressional leaders on Fed
eral pay before Congress con-
vened in January.
In the move to support Fed
eral pay raises. the White
House Is counting on the Con-
gress 70 pay for at least the
postal employe pay increase by
postal rate legisla-
ton.
Government employe leaders
have served notice that they
will seek to have Congress enact
classified and postal employe
pay raises considerably in ex-
cess Of 6 per cent.
This could result In another
bitter pay raise fight on Cap
ltol Hill next year. since Con-
gress this year voted pay raises
for classified and postal workers
considerably in excess Of 6 per
cent. II the administration
persists in its 6 per cent figure.
another presidential veto Is not
unlikely should Congress APP
prove pay raises considerably
In excess Of that figure.
However. since all legislation
Is subject TO compromise and
give-and-take by both sides. an
eventual pay raise Of perhaps
rs to 8 per cent might be the
final outcome next year.

Nuclear Subs Urged for All NATO Members

PARIS, RENATO's naval com mander, US. Adm. Jerault Wright, today urged that US. nuclear se- crecy be modified to help equip all NATO navieS with atomic submarines.
 The admiral told the Atlantic alliances advisory Parliamentary Assembly that arming the navies with A-subs should be given top priority.
 He added NATO countries could equip themselves without receiv- ing U.S.-built subs if the U. s. Congress would amend the McMa- hon Act to make more nuclear know-how available.
 Wright told the assembly the Soviet Unions submarine fleet is three times as big as that of the United States and all it's allies combined.
 The Russians are known to have about 500 subs and the number is increasing by 75 to 100 a year.
 The mission of allied subma- rines now is to try to knock out Soviet subs if there is a war, said Adm. Wright.

Freight Rate Increase PrObed

SEATTLE, R-Alaska Atty. Gen. J. Gerald Williams was in Seattle today on a ''fact-fnding expedition" in connection with a proposed IS percent increase in steamship rates to Alaska.
 Williams and his first assistant, David J. Pree, met with officials of Alaska Steamship Co. and it's attorneys yesterday and another day-long session was held today.
 Alaska Steamship and Coast wise Lines-the two major freight carriers to the territory-three weeks ago announced they would ask the Federal Maritime Board to approve the increase effective December 2, 1857.
 Atty. Gen. Williams said he was "quite surprised" to learn that Alaska Steamship had prepared a voluminous exhibit which was de- livered to the Maritime Board and to Gov. Stepovich.
