French Government, today sent w parliament its program for devalu-l irig the franc, banning the transfer-l of god and readjusting salary levels. I

Premier Blum won first appravall for the program when the Chamber of Deputies Finance Committee in- dicated its gndorzemerit of the pool- dcrous text covering devaluation measures with what officials called “few minor changes."

The committee voted 20 to 12 in favor of the otirrenoy realignment. Seven Communists did not vote. All Socialist and Riixiical Socialists vot- ed "yes"! Centrtsis and Rightists "no."

Sources close to the Government‘ said the cabinet hoped to obtain final approval of the text. by both Houses of Parliament by Wednes- day.

The Premier himseff explained to Socialirt deputies. who pledged com- plete support, details ‘of the accord with Great Britain and the United States to refrain from currency manipulation against the franc.

Asked whether the new franc would be exchangeable for god, Blum said such would be possible "as soon as the stabilization period ended."
