Paris, Jan. 5.

The Prime Minister, M. Robert Schuman's, six- weeks old Coalition Government emerged vic- torious tonight in its struggle with the Com- munists and the extreme Right over the Cabinet's demand for approval of the "Save the Franc" bill, designed to raise 125,000 mil- lion francs by special levy.

After a day-long debate, the Government secured all five votes of confidence from the National Assembly, which rejected five amendments to the bill. The bill was adopted by 315 votes to 268.
