De Gaulle Victory Looks Questionable
PARIS—(UPI)—For the first time, Frenchmen are talking seriously about the possibility that President Charles de Gaulle may not win his bid for re-election Sunday.
That could mean the end of the "De Gaulle Era," with all the implications such a development would contain for France and the rest of the world at large.
This does not mean the 75-year-old French leader is likely to be beaten by one of his five opponents in the presidential race, but people are beginning to wonder whether he can win a majority on the first try.
From a generally estimated support of about 66 per cent of the nation, the polls say he has fallen to less than 50 per cent within the last month.
Under the French voting system, in order to be elected on the first go-around Sunday, De Gaulle or one of his five opponents must get more than half the total votes cast. If not, there will be a runoff ballot Dec. 19 between the two highest contenders.
Enterprise Enters Viet Fight
SAIGON-(UPI)—The nuclear powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise-mightiest fighting ship afloatwent to war for the first time today. Jet pilots from the "Big E" flew a record 140 sorties against Communist targets in South Viet Nam.
Two Enterprise planes were lost as its highly trained carrier pilots fired their first shots in anger since the vessel was commissioned four years ago.
One supersonic Phantom jet was shot down while attacking the Viet Cong 50 miles north of Saigon, but a spokesman said both crewmen were rescued from the jungle. One of the airmen was hurt when he landed by parachute.
The other lost Enterprise plane, also a Phantom, crashed near the carrier as the huge flat top pitched in heavy seas 100 miles off the Vietnamese coast. Both crewmen were plucked from the water by rescue helicopters.
Communists Trouble Laos
VIENTIANE, Laos—(UPI)—The Laotian government today declared a state of emergency in two southern provinces near the border with Viet Nam because of recent fighting there with Communist forces.
The action placed the area on a war footing.
The announcement was made at a news conference in which the government publicly displayed 13 North Vietnamese soldiers captured in the two provinces—Tharek and Savannakhet.
American military sources in Saigon have mentioned the possibility of throwing U.S. troops into Laos to choke off the supply corridor. U.S. planes are bombing the route on a regular basis with the tacit approval of the Laotian government.
Astronauts 'Fit and Ready'
CAPE KENNEDY—(UPI)—Gemini 7 astronauts Frank Borman and James Lovell, "fit and ready" for 14 days in space, went into a day of meetings today with a unanimous stamp of approval for launch Saturday.
