French Economic Slowdown Studied By Finance Head Paris -(UPD- Government ex perts today studied .signs of an economic slowdown in France which some feared could jeop ardize Premier Charles de Gaulle's plans for French prosperity. A slackening has been noted in the industrial boom France has enjoyed for the past few years, and the work week has been cut to 3 2 . hours in some key sectors of the economy. Special Meeting Finance Minister Antoine Pinay called a special meeting Monday to examine the na tion's credit situation. Unemployment still is low. Only 15,600 of the nation's 12.5 million workers drew un employment benefits last month, i Sales of consumer goods and other products have dropped off this fall, however, leading to cutbacks in production schedules- and sharp reduction of the work week in many plants. As a direct result, the mass purchasing power of French workers is heading downward, threatening a chain-reaction of still less buying which could bring recession. . ' . Pinay - was believed think ing of relaxing credit restric tions to stimulate consump tion, much as the United States did when it parried a short-lived slump earlier this year. Experts here believe the U.S. recession contributed- to the French slowdown. Some said the recovery sparking the American economy may ease the strain in France.
