Bidault Gets Vote
PARIS, Thu. (2 p.m.).—The Popular Republican leader (M. Georges Bidault) tonight secured a vote of confidence in the National Assembly as Premier.
Semi-official voting figures were 363 in his favour, which is 52 more than the minimum majority required for his election under the constitution. Last-minute party disputes over the sharing of the ministries forced him to go before the Assembly with his Cabinet list incomplete. M. Bidault told the Assembly that the gravity of both internal and external problems facing France made it vital to form a new government. “Every day the crisis drags on our budgetary equilibrium is more seriously threatened,” he said.
