The government was optimistic, but there was no assurance the workers would ratify the agreements. The Banque de France resumed operations after being closed two weeks. Hundreds of small and medium-sized factories reopened across the country, signaling a partial break in the paralyzing general strike now nearing the end of its third week. Coal miners also were returning to the job, with normal operations expected tomorrow.

But many of the country's industrial giants were still struck, with no resumptions of operations in sight And-until mail deliveries resume, trains start rolling and public transport is res'ored in the cities, will be nothing like a return to normal. Millions of Parisians flooded back into the city after spending the three-day Pentecost weekend in country. Monster traffic jams built. up at all en-, trances to the capital, and at main intersections. Transport Minister Jean Cha-mant announced the agreements with the railway workers after an all-night Bargaining session.

He told newsmen: "All the un: ion delegates, without exception, told me thev would recommend acceptance." Strike votes were being held in a host of factories across the country, but workers in many of the largest plants had already rejected the offers of their em ployers, both private and governmental.

Other parts included a pennv-a-gallon increase in the gasoline tax and a one per cent raise in the corporate income tax. The six Shore assemblymen James M.

Coleman Joseph Azzolina, Louis R. Aikins and Chester Apy of Monmouth Coun ty, and John F. Brown and Ben jamin H. Mabie of Ocean Coun ty voted in favor of the three tax bills. Sen.

Richard R. Stout, R-Mon mouth, and Sen. William Hiering, R-Ocean, abstained (Other Legislative Stories, page 8) from voting on the cigarette tax hike. Sen. Alfred N.

Beadleston, R-Monmouth, was not present. Effort to Balance The entire package is part of a Republican plan to balance the state budget and finance urban aid and other programs. The gasoline and corporate income parts of the package were sent to the Senate for. a possible vote next week. The Assembly also passed and sent to the governor a bill that would increase the ceiling on mortgage interest rates from 6 per cent to 8 per cent.

The measure was sent to the governor who ha indicated, he would sign It. It would mark the first increase on the mortgage ceiling in more than a century. Ail Democrats and a handful cf Republicans opposed various parts of the revenue package, The cigarette tax increase measure was approved by a 54-23 vote, the gasoline tax by 62-12 and the corporate income tax increase, 62-15. Expect $26 Million Republican lawmakers, who hold 3-1 majorities in both the Senate and Assembly, expect the cigarette tax to yield $26 million and the gasoline tax increase to yield another $26.5 million. The combined changes in corporate taxes would yield an estimated $64.4 million.

Another part of the Republican package was introduced at yesterday's session. It would increase driver license fees by a dollar to provide $20 million. The mortgage interest measure, which was opposed by organized labor, was approved by a 65-12 vote in the lower house.

The measure would classify such goods as unconditional gifts, thereby relieving the recipient of any obligation to pay for or return them.

The sponsor, Sen. James H. Wallwork, R-Essex, said the recipient of unordered merchandise now has such an obligation in certain cases. "This bill will clear the air," he said. The measure was passed unanimously and sent to the Assembly.

President Sees Rocky Peace Road GLASSBORO UP) President Johnson, revisiting the site of his year-ago summit talks with Soviet Premier Alexi N. Kosy-gin, said today the road to peace in Vietnam will be slow and tough but it would be less rocky if the United States and Russia "are willing to travel part way together." Johnson, in remarks prepared for commencement exercises at Glassboro State College, made what amounted to an appeal for newer, closer American-Soviet cooperation. He said he wanted to move "trom war 10 peace, from hostility to reconciliation, from stalemate to progress." The President said in the pre liminary Vietnam peace talks in Paris the United states so tar has "met with little more than bellicose statements and evasions" from Hanoi's representatives. Part of Appeal This was part of his appeal to the Soviets, tQo, in enunciating his view of a major principle in the search for peace. "The road there (in Hanoi) ic far less rockv when the mnrM's twn greatest nowers- the United States and the Soviet Union are willing to travel part way together," the President said.

Johnson was unabashed in soliciting flatly the good will and help of Russia in seeking an end to the Vietnam fighting and leaving "this world a little more orderly than we found it." The President told the 1,051 graduates that since his summit meeting with Kosygin at Holly-bush, the home of the college president, cooperation between the two nations reached new heights. "Although old antagonisms have not been erased," Johnson asserted, "we have that our two countries can behave as responsible members of the family of nations." Johnsoa left little doubt that he'd welcome more of the same. Suggesting new avenues of American-Soviet cooperation in stnrfvimr thi human environ ment and exploring the world's resources from ocean tioors to tropical forests Johnson said, "It is by small threads that we will weave a strong fabric of peace in, the world."
