'Russia Raises
To Enter Election
PARIS (P)-President Charles
de Gaulle conferred with Pre-
mier Georges Pompidou last
night and decided to enter the
runoff election Dec. 19, inform-
ed sources reported.
Gilbert Perol, spokesman for
de Gaulle's personal staff, said
there would be no official
statement, and Information
Minister Alain Peyrefitte re-
portedly would take up the
subject today after a regular
cabinet meeting.
The official time for an-
nouncing a .candidacy for the
second round is between the
election commission's report on
Sunday's voting and midnight
tonight.
But it blinded him to the signifi-
cance of what his indispensabil-
ity meant.
It was this: In seven years he
had failed to provide the French
people with, or guide them to-
ward, a more mature political sys-
tem which could save the coun-
try from the kind of instability
which had almost destroyed it be-
fore he arrived.
Last Sunday the French showed
they didn't think he was totally
indispensable.hHe got about 44.5
per cent of the vote and now must
face his leading opponent, leftist
Francois Mitterrand, supported by
Socialists and Communists, in a
run-off December 19.
Why did the French fail to give
him the majority he needed for
election Sunday? The reasons are
not clear but perhaps they fin-
He sneered at the Anglo-Saxons
--meaning Americans and British
--and banned the British from the
European Common Market; pro-
posed neutralizing Southeast Asia;
recognized the sovereignty of Red
China; seemed well on his way to
wrecking the NATO alliance; and
talked of France leading a third
world-between the West and
Communism-made up of the na-
tions of Africa, Asia, and Latin
America.
But while he was undermining
the Western alliance, he was pro-
viding nothing in its place. Ray-
mond Aron, one of France's most
influential political commentators,
said Europe could "not afford two
de Gaulles."

sanctions appeared poor in view
of the U.S.-British opposition.
South Africa boycotted the
meeting.
Only the Security Council has
the authority to order mandatory
sanctions. In the past it has re-
fused to apply such penalties
against South Africa.
The United States said during
the committee's seven-day debate
that it did not agree that a threat
to international peace now exists
as a result of South Africa's apart-
heid policies and therefore it would
not support council action to im-
pose canctions.
The approved resolution was
sponsored by 47 Asian and African
nations. In addition to the call for
sanctions, the proposal appealed to
."the major trading partner" of
South Africa to cease economic
collaboration with that country.
The resolution also renewed a
request to all countries to halt the
shipment of military equipment
and arms to South Africa.
In the committee debate, Rep.
Barratt O'Hara (D-Ill) said the
United States had lost $435 mil-
lion in arms sales by respecting the
two-year-old arms embargo
against South Africa. He added,
however, that the United States
was prepared to continue to coop-
erate in measures to end apart-
heid.
