FRENCH ASSEMBLY GIVES MARIE VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
Paris, July 27.-The Prime Minister, M. Andre Maric, tonight won the informal but vital confidence vote of the French National Assembly for his newly- constituted right of centre coalition government.
By 357 votes to 197, the Assembly tossed out the Communist demand to debate at once the new Government's make-up. The vote was not a formal one of confidence, but M. Maric, appearing before the Assembly for the first time with his Cabinet, asked for the defeat of the Communist motion. An adverse vote at the outset of its existence would have been disastrous for the Government.
