STARTLING GAINS IN

MUNICIPAL POLLING

Paris, Apr. 29.

M Antoine Pinay, unobtrusive leader of the French Moderate Conservatives, has emerged as a strong claimant to the Premiership as a result of Sunday's municipal elections, observers said to- night.

His followers made startling gains almost everywhere, mainly at the expense of General Charles de Gaulle, whose Rally of the French People suffered an eclipse.

Many observers believed that M Rene Mayer, a Radical who succeeded M Pinay as Premier at Christ- mas, would soon lose out and that M Pinay would take over once again.
