Tornado Causes Damage in Texas ly Pr DALLAS, June low, roaring tornado dipped down on the small Dallas county community of Sachse today, knocking out communications and power lines.

June Charles De Gaulle's new party appeared on the way today to being the strongest single political unit in new national assembly, but the middle-of-the-road parties seemed to be retaining control of the next parliament.

With three quarters of the vote in yesterday's nationt elections tabulated, Dc Gaulle's rally of the French people (RPF) had won 107 assembly seats and had run up an impressive total of 3,137,599 votes of the 15.000,000 counted up to noon in unofficial tabulations. In terms of popular vote the communists still were out in front, but the Red party was losing many seats. At the three quarter mark the communists had 96 seats and seemed on the way to losing as many as 60 of the seats they held in the old parliament. But in popular vote the communists were out in front as a single party, with 3,844,729. or 26.76 per cent of the 15,000,000 votes counted up to noon.

This was a little behind their popular vote showing in the last election in 1946, when their vote was 28.6 per cent of the total.
