His recent news conference. when he declared he was ready to "assume the powers of the repub lic, was a good example, lie an. was ending and fought for a con stitution that would provide strong executive leadership. W hen he lot. noiinced the conference long enough , he dramatically bowed out of the in advance to allow an enormous sense of expectation to build up. When he finally spoke, all France and the world listened attentively. The 67-year-old general, born in I.ille Nov. 22, 1890. has been pro posing dramatic and decisive solu tions to France's problems almost since he was graduated from St. C'yr military academy. He has been alternately inspiring and vexing to his associates. Plan Ignored, France Pays As early as 1928, when France's military leaders were planning for the kind of wars fought in the past, De Gaulle proposed motorized col umns and tanks that could strike sudden blows at an enemy. French leaders did not listen, but the Ger mans did. Their lightning attacks in World War II proved De Gaulle had been right. When German forces assembled nn France's border in 1939, De Gaulle urged that France keep the initiative by attacking first. His nwn subsequent performance won him a battlefield promotion to brig adier general. At SO. he was the youngest general in the army. When France collapsed, De Gaulle wasted no time in proclaim ing a "Free France" to fight on from England and North Africa. "France has lost a battle." he declared, "hut France has not lost the war." He assured Frenchmen listening to his 1-ondon broadcast that France would be one of the victors. "She will then regain her liberty and her greatness," he aaid.

French, complained, "Of all the I A big question in Kurnpe was crosses I have borne since 1940 whether De Gaulle would try a political picture. He spoke, as on many other occasions, of France's grandeur and declared he would not impotently lead an impotent government. A year later he returned to poli tics and all eyes again turned to him. His party, the Kally of Ihe French People, won 40 per cent of the popular vote in 1947 municipal elections. But the tide receded, and in 193 the party was disolved. Force Advice Spurned De Gaulle again went into se clusion. But he let it be known in constant private consultations with F'rench leaders that he would serve whenever he could get the power to do things his own way. Ridiculing suggestions that he might try to take over by force, be once asserted. "One usually as cribes to me one quality in telligence. Then how can one sup pose that 1 am so unintelligent as to want to make a coup d'etat?" When French military command ers in Algeria broke away from Paris control, the general needed a sure sense of timing. Some Frenchmen though he missed his chance when he did not immediate ly call for revolution to take him to power. Some feared his moment passed when the National Assembly voted emergency powers for Pre mier Pierre Pflimlin. But De Gaulle waited patiently Instead of losing out because of the delay, he gained ground A false step might have cost him the prize.
