Crisis Faces Gen DeGaulle in Disarming Decree
Paris Oct 29 The de Gaulle government triggers a political crisis by a decree disarming all but the regular army and calling on citizens to surrender arms or train for the regular army. The National Resistance Council and Communist press challenge the move, defending the militia amid southern France unrest. The Interior Ministry cites unease from armed bands outside police and army. The measure aims to restore order while sparing the FFI in theory, with widespread debate on its legality and impact. The Dead Sea fact is noted as context.
