BACK PLAN FOR
4TH REPUBLIC
By RELMAN MORIN
PARIS, Oct. 22 UP) France's
first general election in nine
years placed an almost unquali
fied stamp of approval today
on Gen. Dc Gaulle's plans to
found a fourth republic on a
new constitution drafted by the
people' chosen representatives.
; Figures announced by the
ministry of the interior this
morning, 12 hours after the
closing of the polls, showed
that De Gaulle hod won on
.overwhelming victory In a two
pronged flection which .decided
that: ; ' -
1. A constituent assembly
designated at yesterday's elec
tionwill draft a new constitu
tion rather than attempt to re
build the government on the
1875 document which was the
foundation of the third repub
lic. 2. The executive power will
be vested In a provisional gov
ernment during the seven
months the assembly sits rather
than in tho assembly itself.
Official results from 84 of
France's 82 departments:
In favor of a new constitu
tion, 13,887,0B2; opposed, 554,
760.. In favor of an Interim gov
ernment, 0,582,210; opposed. 4,
841,240. New Constitution Supported
The question of writing a
new constitution was supported
by all political parties, but the
communists aided by tho radical-socialists
had opposed Dc
Gaulle on the interim govern
ment issue.
The election, which saw vot
ers queue up at the polls in
record-breaking numbers, wit
nessed the emergence of the
resistance-born popular repub

Ward 2 Council
Change Foreseen
Mayor Ed Ostendorf said to
day that he understands the
members of the council tonight
will bring in the resignation of
John Keller, veteran second
ward councilman, who has
been ill for several months.

the council has the power of
appointing councllmen to fill
vacancies such as that which
would be created by Keller's
resignation.
Mayor Ostendorf said that he
had not been consulted by the
council with regard to the mat
ter. He said that it is techni
cally the council's responsibil
ity, but he feels that in the in
terests of friendly relationships
he should have been informed
of the development. He has
since discussed it with Council
man Keller.
The mayor said that the
names of Myrle C. Adams and
Earl Hamakcr, second ward
residents, have been mentioned
by Councilman Keller as good
council material, and that Kel
ler favors holding up the ap
pointment for a week after his
resignation is received.

Selection of a jury for . the

charged with negligent homicide
in connection with the death of
William H. McPherren following

Court was adjourned for noon

J. C. O'Neill is representing the

McPherren, aged 70, died
from injuries received when he
was struck by a machine alleg

tember 27, 1944. He and George
Hixon were standing at the rear
of Hixon's automobile, parked
before McPherren's place of bus

the Young vehicle is said to have
crashed into the rear of Hixon's
car, pinning the two men be

McPherren's left leg was al
most severed below the knee and
his right leg was badly crushed.
He was taken to Klamath Valley
hospital and died the same day.
Hixon also sustained a fractured

The announcement that Zai

giants of Japan, would liquidate
themselves brought a blast from
one of Tokyo's leading news
papers. Asahi Shimbun charg

Morse argued for an Increase
in the size of a proposed special
atomic energy committee from

Senator Ball (R-Mlnn.) sug

contended the group ought to

Morse said that "suspicion"
