What if De Gaulle Dies What Next In France
An AP analysis examines the threat against Charles de Gaulle, the prospects if he dies before 1965, and who could succeed. It discusses a possible putsch by the Secret Army Organization, exile leaders like Salan, and the rise of a strong premier backed by a center party to share power amid Algeria upheaval. The piece notes De Gaulle's stature lets him tilt executive power and outlines constitutional steps if he disappears.
