French Gaillard resignation unsettles North Africa policy
Washington officials reacted to Felix Gaillard's fall as France's government collapsed after the Assembly rejected a U.S.-British plan for Tunisia. Dulles disputed French charges of U.S. dominance and urged a path toward ending Algeria fighting, with privately favored moves toward Algerian self-government while France clings to Algeria as part of metropolitan France. The mood also touched NATO prestige and looming summit talks with the Soviet Union amid uncertainty over France's future stance. In New York the stock market opened lower with declines in steel, motors, chemicals, and nonferrous metals, while aircraft and oil edged higher. A House committee expected to approve a bill to repeal a long-standing federal secrecy law today.
