In Paris, Gen. Charles DeGaule arrived today in the French city from his country retreat to survey the political situation and cabinet crisis which is so deep that a new government does not appear anywhere in sight.
Gen. DeGaulle is mentioned each time France suffers a new government crisis but he is opposed to political leaders of the extreme left and feared by many of the moderate right who feel that he would set up a dictatorship.
