PARIS—(UPI)]—French socialist leader Guy Mollet today accused President Charles de Gaulle of making "mistakes" in every major policy sphere and demanded a "regrouping of all democratic forces to find a substitute government."
10. ces to find a substitute.
It was the second straight day that Mollet had attacked De Gaulle publicly. Other responsible French politicians also have begun talking openly for the first time about deposing De Gaulle.
Speaking at a special party congress in suburban Puteaux, Mollet also urged all "democratic" parties unite to prevent disturbances if De Gaulle should "disappear" from the scene-presumably through death.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.—(UPI)—The General Assembly yesterday elected the West African nation of Sierra Leone the United Nation's 100th member, thereby solving the case of the "lonesome flagpole."
Since last October, 100 flagpoles have stood outside U.N. headquarters here, with only 99 flags flying from them.

BONN—(UPI)—Christian Democratic members of parliament said yesterday their party will join the Free Democrats in a coalition government only if Konrad Adenauer continues as chancellor.

The Christian Democrats, although they hold more seats in parliament than any other party, need the support of the small Free Democratic Party to obtain a majority in the national legislature.

Indian Art Displayed
A one hundred-year-old Indian handicraft collection is currently on display in the main lobby of the Kansas Union.
By Margare Cathcart
Forty-two American Indian tribes are represented in the display of weaving, antiques and modern jewelry.
THE DISPLAY will run until Oct. 10.
The collection was started in 1856 by F. W. Read who operated a drygoods store in Lawrence, when there were only 400 people on the south side of the river and 2,000 Delaware Indians on the north side.
Read's collection grew as he traded with the Indians. It was passed down to his son, and later to his grandson, Pat Read, who owns the collection today and is sponsoring its exposition.
AMONG THE unusual Indian handicrafts on display in the Union
is a yellow buckskin shirt, embroidered with porcupine quills. Mr. Read obtained this item in 1856 through trading in his drygoods store.
There is also a Fottowatomi medicine bundle complete with a voodoo stick, rattle, turtle shell, sacred war club, skins and jetishes.
IN ANOTHER display case there is a Kicketat watertight cooking basket of the 1850s. The Kicketat Indians of the northwestern United States are extinct today.
Across the hall from the Kicketat basket is an Indian war shirt decorated with human scalps.
