World News Roundup: Bourges-Maunoury Wins French Premiership
Maurice Bourges-Maunoury was confirmed premier after a 240-194 vote in the French National Assembly ending a 22 day cabinet crisis. He succeeds Guy Mollet and pledges reforms including an austerity tax, though his minority status makes his hold on power tenuous. In the Middle East, Jordan and Lebanon shaped regional dynamics as Nasser’s Egypt faced growing isolation. The West rejected a Soviet call for a Big Four Middle East conference, favoring United Nations diplomacy. Harold Stassen returned to London amid Western complaints over new American disarmament outlines.
