French Premier Schuman strains to hold rocky coalition
Paris June 10 Premier Robert Schuman fought to maintain a fragile coalition as a German accord on Western Germany faced committee approval. He pressed parliament for a solid vote while debating state subsidies to private Catholic schools in regions lacking public schools, a clash within his Socialist dominated cabinet. De Gaulle condemned the London agreement, threatening votes against it. The dispute centers on church state relations, a 1905 separation issue, and a decree aiding education for needy children.
