But Is De Gaulle the end of a crisis or the beginning of yet a greater one? Thomas R. Curran. vice president and general European manager of United Press International, analyses it In the following dispatch. Br THOMAS R. CURRAN United Press International Paris (UPI) The gov ernment of Charles de Gaulle is only a few hours old but already Frenchmen look be yond and ask: "What next?" The general has welded himjlf a majority in the Na tional Assembly. But that is not his major challenge. It is a constitution that does not work. A war without so- lution. An economy off the rails. De Gaulle asked fo) six months to settle these prob lems grave problems Qat have ved France for years. Deputies will tell yoff they(t) are not afraid of De Oaulle. "What worries us," they say, "is what happens if he fails." Gravest Challenge This is the maes-nest of trouble that De Gatille would cure in six months: Reform the constitution. De Gaulle feels the present system of government is im possibly weak. His govern ment is the 27th since the war. De Gaigle wants the ex ecutive to have full powers (more on the American pat tern), and he thinks the peo ple should vote directly on the reform. End the war in Algeria. This may be the gravest chal lenge. Can even De Gaulle stand firm when two run away trains collide with him in the middle resurgent French colonialism on one side and Moslem determina tion for freedom 4m the oth er? Get France's economy back on the rails. The war in Algeria has been a fearful drain, costing some S650mil lion to date, with the Alger ian nationalist movement now stronger than ever. There are other chronic ills high im- ports and low exports among them. De Gaulle is said to know, what he wants and to be in flexible in getting it. Feeling of Relief He was th proud symbol of France when the country was entirely overrun by Hit ler's legions. He feels he help ed save France's integrity in 1940 and he can do it aga Z-A today. If he succeeds, the Fpurth Republic, chastened and puri fied by the constitutional re form, can carry on with great er stability and few govern ment upheavals. And if he fails? The pessimists fear the Communists will have a gold en opportunity to take over the controls with a "popular front" government. Whatever comes next, the immediate feeling in(France today was one of relief. Many Frenchmen who nor mally might have been against De Gaulle prayed for his success. They feared fail ure would mean the horror of civil war and the triumph of a communist-dominated popular front. Two Fliers Die In Alaska Crash Anchor a ee (UPI) Two fliers were killed Saturday) when their heavily-loadJi Reeve Aleutian Airways cargo plane plunged into tffc, ocean off Driftwood Bajgj in theJ Aieuuau uiauiu. Dead were CapL Bruce Deeter, formerly of Seattle, and Sherman Krause, co-pilot, whose family alsjlived in Se attle. The C-46, loaded with bags of cement went out of con trol as it took off from Drift wood Bay, bound for Nikolsi. Witnesses theorized the cargo may have slipped and forced the two-engine craft out of control. The plane sank almost im mediately. Practically every one you know 11 read a newspaper today.
