...undergo a runoff round. By contrast, the major non-Gaullist parties all suffered setbacks. Receiving its worst drubbing in a decade, the French Left lost 1,250,000 votes to the Gaullists, watched its share of the vote decline from 45% in 1967 to 41%. If the Gaullist trend continued through the final round of balloting last weekend, De Gaulle would command some 280 seats in the 487 seat Assembly.

Even companies operating in the red have been able to cash in on the trend. Despite losses of $10,679 last year (on sales of only $36,068), Manhattan's Applied Synthetics Corp., a maker of plastic bags for phonograph records, last month successfully floated a 260,000-share issue at $1.75.
