A month later, on August IA,

Mr.. Quinn said that at this

Under the second alternative,

in France was demonstrated
again today by an overwhelm-
ing victory in an issue that has
split the nation several times
in the past half century-State

The National Assembly by a

ernment plan increasing finan-
cial assistance to private schools
despite only lukewarm enthusi-
asm by supporters and the
united opposition of Socialists
and Communists.
Under the plan, the govern
ment gets a say in how the
money is spent. About 20 per
cent of French children go to
private chools, most of them
Roman Catholic.
Premier Michel Debre, spokes-
man for Gen. de Gaulle in par
lament, staked the life of his
government in the fight that
saw Education Minister Andre

modified the controls it would
have had over the funds.
