Mollet went down to defeat, after surviving as votes of confidence. when the assembly rejected an austerity economic plan for new taxes. it was designed to defend the French franc and help pay for the Algerian campaign and the alter-effects of the Suez difficult- ies.

DIFFICULT TASK

Coty launched into a series of consultations with parliamentary and political leaders. but the task before the 75-year-old president is a difficult one and the crisis may take a long time to resolve.

In a desire to assure the most

effective day-to-day control of the natlons' affairs during the crisis. Coty declined immediate accept- ance of Mollet's resignation pend- ing a round of consultations. But in view of the socialist leader's determination to relinquish office after nearly 16 months. the presi- dent has little choice but to seek an eventual successor. ..Mosi political experts nlzree that any candidate for the premiership will have to obtain the blessing of the 100 socialist deputies in order to obtain a majority in the as- sembly.

On the financial front. a new fiscal effort appears inevitable. de- spite the assembly's rejection of the llollet austerity proposals.

Must Meet Soviet Union

"Hallway"

WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi- dent Eisenhower said Wednesday the United States must be ready to meet Russia "halfway" in order ' to work out a disarmament agree- ment nceded to ease world ten- ' lions.

He called on Amercians to keep an open mind about the prospects of a limited agreement despite Russia's past record of broken promises. V Eisenhower's remarks at a press - conference could have been an im- plied reproof to Admiral Arthur W. Redford. chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. who said Sunday in talking about East-West disarm- ament talks:

"We cannot trust the Russian! on this or anything. The commit? nists have broken their word with every country with which they evd had an agreement."

Eisenhower did not entlon Rad" ford by name but said "in the ll- terest of the United States" some 1 . progress must be made to reduce the world's arms burden.

NOT RECALCITIIANT

"I think our first concern should be making certain we are not our- selves being recalcitrant. we are - not being plcayunlsh about the thing.

"We ought to have an open mind land make it possible for others. lif they are reasonable. logical men. to meet us halfway so we can make these agreements."

The president acknowledged that the Russians. with their history at

breaking internotional i-estiee. force the West, to he "especlalb careful"7ln-snegsttatm-en.i L g g for arms inspection.

But Eisenhower snld he is seeki- lng initially only "the first simple moves" by both sides toward dis- am-sament. These first steps. be said would give all a chance to "test the good faith" of each other as well as the efficiency of any , arrangement for inspection. of 1 each otber's territory to make cer-

tain that promises are kept.

HALIFAX (CPI - Prime Min- ister St. Laurent said Wednesday night his government plans to con- tinue a policy of reducln taxes year by year "because we believe taxes should be reduced when- ever possible."

The liberal chieftain said that Conservative leader John Diefen- baker has stated he will provide provinces with increased federal payments by giving them a greater share of the federal sur-g plus.

"That. of course. would require? a miracle because the surplus has been spent several times over al- ready by Tory election promises."
