NQBQQY WINS ELECTION French Hopes Oi Stable Gov't Dashed By Result

PARIS (AP)-France's hopes of establishing a stable government have been doomed by an election that nobody really won.

1. An assembly majority again split between t.he left and right wings of the centre, moderate par- ties whose leaders have been al- iu-nating in short-lived, shaking co- glmon governments for years. This unresolved struggle of the centre parties appears certain to push the unwilling forces of Premier Edgar Faure and ex-premier Pierre Mn- des-France into each other's arms if they are to survive.

CAN'T ITAND ALONE

Confronted by the Communists and the Poujadists. neither the light-of-centre party alliance led by Faure nor the leftof-centre group of parties under Mendes-France is strong enough to take over the new government alone.

But the bitterness engendered by l'aure's dissolution of the old Na Iona! Assembly and the heated charges and counter-charges oi the

There is no accurate advance gauge of how most of the men elected will vote in the assembly in selecting a new premier, or on the urgent issues awaiting their decision.

COMMUNISTS GAIN

OTTAWA (CF)-Federal Works Minister Winters, in a year-end Trans - Canada highway progress report issued Tuesday, promised the provinces federal co-operlltinn in an all-out operation to complete ihe highway within the next four ycars.

”Evcr'y possible effort would be made in co-operate with the pro- vlnclnl governments in concentrat- ing construction on gap closing and paving operations along the highway in order to ac-eleraic the completion of this important pro- ject." Mr. Winters said.

WILL ASK BOOST He said he will ask Parliament

to boost the federal maximum for the 4,580-mile highway project to 5250.0(l0.000 from s150.000.000. This would permit the federal govern- ment to bear 90 per cent of con- struction costs of up to 10 per cent of the highway mileage in each province where gap-closing opera- tions were no:-ccssiiry. Cost of other mileage will continue to be split 50-50 with the provinces.
