Constitutional changes already drafted at Algiers are enough to give postwar France a new political façade. Woman suffrage, long sought, would be granted. Prewar France's helter-skelter system of party representation in the Chamber of Deputies would be revised, with elections on a proportional basis.

The Gianninis, never orthodox bankers, were all set to buy up-&-coming Ade Precision Products Corp. (Burbank, Calif.), specialist in aviation hydraulic and de-icing equipment. Actual purchase will be made by Giannini's $140,000,000 Transamerica Corp., which will swap about $1,700,000 worth of its Bank of America stock for 95% of outstanding Adel shares...
