Still stern to the memory of his onetime commander, General Charles de Gaulle refused a request from the widow of Marshal Henri Philippe Pétain, wavering head of the fascist puppet Vichy government during World War II, asking that her husband's remains, now on the lonely Ile d'Yeu, be transferred to a graveyard at Verdun, site of his great 1916 defensive victory over the Germans...
...front to defeat De Gaulle's proposed constitutional reforms. (After a long, nervous and undecided silence. Moscow's Pravda las: week published a Duclos interview labeling De Gaulle's government ''the embodiment of the blackest reaction." ) At the other end of the political spectrum, fascist-inclined Pierre Poujade dissolved his 31 -man bloc in the National Assembly, said it was time to re sume ''the anti-parliamentary campaign."

Washington, too, was tactfully discreet, hoping that De Gaulle could restore his sick nation to health, but resigned to his being a thorny ally...
...fascist, De Gaulle is beyond question an authoritarian prepared to demand vast emergency powers as Franklin Roosevelt once did. He has insisted that he would never again accept a ''temporary magistrature." Before he would consent to return to power, the National Assembly would have to agree to send itself on "permanent vacation," give De Gaulle a free hand until a new French constitution could be written. Under the new constitution, as De Gaulle envisages it, France would no longer be ruled by a single house of Parliament. (The French Senate is as meaningless as Britain's House...
