supported him, but not without
some annoyance.
Prime Minister Winston
Churchill, referring to the SYM
boil Gen. de Gaulle had chosen
for the Free French, COM
planned, "Of all the crosses I
have borne since 1910 none is
so heavy as the Cross of Lor-
raine."
President Franklin d. RooSe-'
welt wrote in a letter after the
allies Casahlanca conference.
"The day Gen. de Gaulle) ar
rived he thought he was Joan
of Arc and the following day
he insisted he was Georges
Clemenceau."
But Gen. de Gaulle got what
he wanted-he kept France in
the front rank of the world
powers.
Gen. de Gaulle became Pro-
visional President of France as
the war was ending and fought
for a constitution that would
provide strong executive lead
ership. When he lost. he dra-
matically bowed out of the
political picture. He spoke, as
on many other occasions, of
Frances grandeur and declared
he would not impotently lead
an impotent government.
Went Into SeclusiOn Again
A year later he returned to
politics and all eyes again
turned to him. His party, the
rally of the French people, won
40 per cent of the popular vote
in 1947 municipal elections.
But the tide receded, and in
1858 the party was dissolved
Gen. de Gaulle again went
into seclusion. But he let it
be known in constant private
consultations with French lead
erS that he would serve when
ever he could get the power to
do things his own way.
Ridiculing suggestions that
he might try to take over by
force. he once asserted, "One
usually ascribes to me one
quality - intelligence. Then
how can one suppose that !
am so unintelligent as to want
to make a coup d'etat?"
When French military COM
manderS in Algeria broke away
from Paris control, the general
needed a sure sense of timing.
Some Frenchmen thought he
missed his chance when he did
not Immediately call for revo-
luton to take him to power.
Some feared his moment passed
when the National Assembly
voted emergency powers for
Premier Pierre Pflimlin.
But Gen. de Gaulle waited
patiently. Instead Of losing out
because of the delay. he gained
ground.

powers, he, said, to avert a
breakup and perhaps civil
war" in France.
Gen. de Gaulle said he was
demanding three major things
of the Assembly:
/. Emergency powers to rule
by decree for six months to
clear up the current crisis,
Parliament would take a vaca-
ton in the interim.
2. Authority to revise the
constitution to give a stronger
executive, based on the Ameri-
can system, father than the
parade of weak regimes which
have been at the mercy of the
assembly.
8. Constitutional reform to
reorganize the relation between
France and her overseas ter
ritorieS.
Would Go to People
Both constitutional reforms
would be submitted directly to
the people for approval, rather
than to the Assembly first,

plans, saying this would be
done in a bill to be submitted
soon.
The Assembly committee ap-
proved the request for six
months of full power, 27-17,
after an all night session dur
ing which Vice Premiers Guy
Mollet and Pierre Pfiimlin
pleaded that the general must
be given a chance to push
ahead with plans to revitalize
France.
The committee vote followed

De GouIIe Is q Master
OF Timing, Suspense

PARIS, June lP.-With the suSpenseful timing of a
veteran prima DONNA Gen. Charles de Gae 10
has kept Frenchmen watching his every move.
His stage has been the battlefield, exile in England,
the Champs Eysees crowded with his countrymen cee-
bratng the end of World War H. the National Assembly
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-06-02

and his solitary country home
near Metz.
The tall, stern general has
long been a master of timing
and suspense. His recent news
conference, when he declared
he was ready to assume the
powers of the republic, was a
good example. He announced
the conference long enough in
advance to allow an enormous
sense of expectation to build
up. When he finally spoke. sll
France and the world listened
attentively.
Foresaw Mobile Warfare
The 67-year-old general,
born in Lille on November %,
1890, has been proposing
dramatic and decisive solu-
tions to Frances problems al
most since he was graduated
from st. Cyr Military Academy
He has been alternately in
spring and vexing to his as
sociateS.
AS early as 1928, when
Frances military leaders were
planning for the kind of wars
fought in the past, Gen de
Gaulle proposed motorized
columns and tanks that could
strike sudden blows at an en-
envy. French leaders did not
listen, but the Germans did.
Their lightning attacks in
World War II proved Gen de
Gaulle had been right
When German forces as
selnhled on Frances border in
1889, Gen. de Gaulle urged
that France keep the initiative
by attacking first. His own
subsequent performance won
him a battlefield promotion to
brigadier general. At so, he
was the youngest general in
the Army.
When France collapsed. Gen,
de Gaulle wasted no time in
proclaiming a Free France" to
fight on from England and
North Africa. France has lost
a battle" he declared, but
France has not lost the war. u
He assured Frenchmen listen
ing to his London broadcast
that France would be one of
the victors. She will then re-
gain her liberty and her great
ness" he said.
Churchill's Comment Tart
With the aid of the other
allies, the general built fight
ing force of half a million men.
Shunting rivals aside. he pro-
claimed that he personally rep
resented France and would have
to be dealt with as an equal

manded.
One appointment, career

Murville to be foreign minister,

North Atlantic alliance. Now

Germany. Mr.. Couve de MUIR
vile Is a former ambassador to
Washington and an avowed
supporter Of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization and such
European unity programs as
the common market and the
atomic pool.
Another major appointment
was former Premier Antoine
Pinay as finance minister.
After making his bid for
emergency powers, Gen. de
Gaulle left the red-and gold
trimmed chambers Of deputies
for his hotel to await the result
Of the vote.
1t came after 31a hours of
debate in which cries Of dictator
and blackmail echoed through
the hall.
Aided by Socialists
OF the 224 votes against him,
lat came from the bloc of Com
munist deputies. The Socialists
split with AZ voting for the
general and 40 against. The
leftistS have expressed fears
that Gen. de Gaulle's return
threatened France with dicta-
torship despite the generals
denials.
The success Of Gen. de
Gaulle's bid for the premiership
was assured. however, when the
Socialists split Saturday and
released their members to vote
as they chose. That threw the
needed balance to the General.

Communists and some So
cialists On the committee
which represented all hues Of
opinion--voted against Gen. de
Gaulle's demands.
Opposition Strong
The bitter debate earlier in
the Assembly and In the COM
mittee made plain that Gen.
de Gaulle viii have no honey
moon with the OPPOSITION. This
was pointed up by the fact that
he got only 329 votes to install
him instead of the 4O0-non-
Communist ballots for which
he had hoped.
Sporadic outbreaks Of left
ist-led violence also were seen
as an omen Of trouble ahead,
but calm prevailed throughout
France this morning.
In Algeria, where right-wine

flcers seized power May IS and

calm prevailed.
Members Of the ruling junts

claimed the generals installa.
tion as a victory for then
forces. Privately, however, they
were disturbed by his inclusion
Of such men as Mr.. Pflimlin and
Mr. Mollet in his cabinet. Still
more they resented the snub-
fbing Of such men as veteran
Gaullist Jacques Soustelle, ar
Assembly deputy who had
rushed to Algiers to take q
leading part in the uprising
there. He was not included in
the cabinet.
Solution Opposed
Reports swept both Paris and
Algiers that Gen. de Gaulle
envisaged a federal" solution
of the Algerian dilemma-an
autonomous Algeria in which
the Moslems would have equal
status with the French colonistS
and which would be federated
with France. 1t is just this
solution which the French
colonials there have fought
bitterly.
Gen. de Gaulle's aides said
he wanted to fly to Algeria
this week for a first-hand sur.
! vey of the situation. The in.
surgent authorities in North
Africa obviously were bidine
their time until they could talk
with him personally.
Gen. de Gaulle and his new
cabinet met for about an houl

Rene Coty's Craftsmanship in
