DeGaulle Takes Oath
As French President
PARIS (/P)—Gen. Charles de Gaulle became president of
France yesterday and pledged to use his strong executive
powers to keep the new Fifth Republic on the stern path he
outlined as premier. He declared he would do what had to
be done lor the nation’s good.
Immediately after historic inauguration ceremonies, De
Gaulle set the new republic in motion. He named as premier
Michel Debre, Gaulh.st lawyer and
an unbending nationalist.
There followed an unmistak
able sign that De Gaulle intends
to continue his strict control
over French affairs. Debre an
nounced a new Cabinet that
carried over most of De Gaulle's
fop ministers.
De Gaulle took office in the
gilded Salon des Fetes in the;
presidential palace, then drove to
t!it* majestic Arch of Triumph.
Thousands of Frenchmen lined
the upper mile of the broad
Champs Elysees to cheer him.
Standing in an open car with out
going President Rene Coty at his
side, De Gaulle retraced the tri
umphal path lie followed as lead
er of the Free French when Paris
was liberated in World War 11.
Tho 88-year-old soldier-poli
tician became France’s most
powerful chief of stale since
Emperor Napoleon 111, who was
deposed in 1870.
About 200 of France’s top fi-.
gures ringed the Salon des Fetes.
They included chiefs of govern-,
ments of the 17 autonomous re
publics of which De Gaulle is also
president.
In the afternoon he worked at
the presidential palace. But he
sent word that his first night as
president would be spent in the
Hotel Matignon across the River
Seine, where he has lived for the
seven months. His wife,
Yvonne, had a quiet dinner wait-

Senators Battle
'Filibustering ‘
WASHINGTON (£>)—The first
showdown vote in the Senate bat
tle over filibusters has been shun
ted aside until today.
But senators on both sides of
the issue orated several hours
longer yesterday, getting their
views on the record.
A compromise was predicted.
The question is whether to
change the rules so as to make it
easier to shut off filibusters—the
endless talk weapon Southern
Democrats hare used effectively
in the past to torpedo civil rights
legislation.
The present rule, now under at
tack, requires the votes of 66
senators, or two-thirds of the
membership, to halt a filibuster.
That’s what the Southerners
would like to preserve.
