Liaison & Action. That same day Premier Robert Schuman's new inflation remedy, the "supertax" on incomes over 450,000 francs ($3,798), became law when it was rubberstamped by the toothless Council of the Republic (upper house of the legislature, replacing the old Senate). Communists and Gaullists in the Assembly had been against the supertax. Now this formidable new grouping of the classes moyennes, most of whose people were probably Gaullist voters or sympathizers, was out to do battle against...

Carlini refused. Instantly the 24 "Cocos" began shouting abuse...
...Communist effort, said Ramadier, is aimed at "social strife, collapse of production, monetary collapse and famine." The Premier reduced his Cabinet from 25 members to 12 - a move which he called "a concentration of Government authority." This was a concession to the Gaullist cry for efficient leadership, but Ramadier told off the General, too: "[He represents] an attempt to upset the institutions which the nation has freely chosen." Paul Ramadier was ready this week to ask the Assembly for a vote of confidence...
