De Gaulle pressed with France on edge of crisis
In a tense political moment President De Gaulle moves to stabilize France as strikes and subversive activity disrupt the economy. He warns that if force is needed he will act to preserve the republic and constitutional order. The franc wobbles amid capital flight and bankers fear, with central bankers stepping in to support funds as Western powers coordinate aid. Henry Swenson, 44, enjoys cycling near Grand Junction while the United States backs the franc through a $200 million credit arrangement to France.
