French Party Chiefs Called To Conference
Paris December 5 National Assembly President Vincent Auriol summoned all France's party chiefs to confer tonight to end a government crisis. MRP leader George Bidault failed to win an interim premiership, polling 240 votes, 70 short of a majority, as socialists and communists also fell short. The crisis deepened as talks stalled over forming a temporary government until January. Auriol urged rapid resolution so Parliament can address financial measures to save the franc. If he acts, Edouard Herriot could become assembly president.
