Gaullists Seek Ways To End French Strike
Paris reports President de Gaulle and his ministers met in an unusual Ascension Day session to discuss a way out of nationwide work stoppages. No decisions were announced, and de Gaulle was to address the nation Friday night by radio and TV. Interior Minister Fouchet banned Daniel Cohn-Bendit’s return from Frankfurt, prompting student protests and tightened border controls.
