The first two men to see Auriol were Pierre MendesFranec and former Premier Paul teynald, both financial experts. Mcndes-France said the “present situation is critical ami demands juiok decisions.” Before he offered the premiership to Schuman, Auriol tried to get two other men to accept it. Both refused for "reasons of
health.”
They were Andre Marie, radical Socialist minister of justice {in tin resigned cabinet, and i Yvon Del bos, also a ralical and former minister of state. Communist-led strikes, which had idled at least 750,000 men in the most vital industries, began to spread rapidly in Paris. Fourteen thousand school teachers went out yesterday. The Ga'it De Lyon, which handles Mar-seille-bound train traffic, was closed today. Only a quarter of the normal traffic- was running in and out of Gave Du Non! and police ani nouuced saboteurs had cut the telephone lines linking the forts of Rosny' and Noisy-Le-Sec in the working class suburb of
Montreuil.
These strikes and lack cjf a moderate leader in the government. appeared to be leading the country to a showdown between Communists and DoGaullists.
