Algerian Issue Crops Up As A Serious Snag
Paris, May 7. French Premior-designate, Rone Pleven, today faced the most difficult 48 hours in his attempt to form a new French government.
The investiture debate is fixed, in principle, for Friday, but several times during today, Pleven's position appeared compromised. Some of the political leaders put forward as pos- sible ministers aroused serious reserves frum certain of the groups invited to take part in the government majority.

The sources, I said, are either official reports of his Kubordinates, which are “unayoldably perjudiced." or the public opinion which "falihfully reflects the irus frole of thing and events,”
