PARIS. April IA (AP). -
Georges Pompidou is a rugged,

a passion for music, a flair for
literature - and no practical
experience in politics.

was chosen by the old soldier
to succeed Michel Debre and
thus become the second premier

Mr.. Pompidou's appointment
gives Gen. de Gaulle an occasion
to install something more like
a national coalition cabinet,
since Mr.. Pompidou has never
belonged to any political party.
Mr.. Debre, as leader of the
,GaulliSt Union for a New Re-

his cabinet a largely partisan
flavor.
