Potter was chairbound for about two hours while the malady was cured. It's not the first time one of his legs has given out on a campaign. same Some time ago, the thing happened and the newspaper headline read: "Potter Hospitalized in Buick Garage."

While Communist hecklers booed and tried to smash through protecting police lines in the historic Place de La Republique, the Premier outlined his basic law for the projected Fifth French Republic to an estimated 100,000 persons. Most of those nearest the rostrum, where De Gaulle stood surrounded by his ministers. were admitted to the square by invitation only in a move to keep the Reds and other un known DeGaulle foes in the background. Police Charge Rioters Helmeted police and youths with Gaullist arm bands stood guard as the Premier made his plea.

A milling mob of 1,000 or so. led by veteran Reds, tore up paving blocks and hurled them at the guards in an effort to get near the speaker's stand. The police charged, clubs swinging, and dispersed the mob. Authorities said 31 persons, 21 of them policemen, were injured. Eleven were hospitalized.

Elsewhere demonstrators picketed streets leading to the square. Many held aloft yellow signs the word "Non" (no) in opposition to the constitution. Warns of Consequences The World War II hero called on the French to vote "yes" in the Sept. 28 referendum in France and the overseas territories which will accept or reject the constitution. He warned that if the vote was "no," France would become, "out of datff and disdained." The Premier contended France vitally needs a constitution providing a much stronger executive branch, new parliamentary standards, a supreme court and a new confederation relationship with the overseas territories.

More than 4,000 residents of coast areas in Louisiana and Texas had evacuated their homes today as the tropical storm Ella, threatening to attain hurricane status, approached across the Gulf of Mexico.

More than 2.500 had fled their homes in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, center of last year's hurricane disaster that took over 500 lives. Today, more than 1,000 residents of Port Aransas, a resort community 16 miles from Corpus Christi on Mustang Island, evacuated their homes. Warning Issued With the storm about 400 miles distant shortly after daylight, the U.S. Weather Bureau advised all persons in beach areas to leave at once. The bureau hoisted gale warnings and disaster units went on the alert.

At Port Aransas. Constable Henry Olscn said only a few permanent residents would remain. The Coast Guard has a station there. Persons elsewhere on Mustang Island and Padre Island, the. next long strip of offshore land to the south, also were evacuating.

Aircraft Moved Navy and Air Force personnel in the Corpus Christi and Mission areas started flying more than 300 planes to iniand bases yesterday. Oil companies began removiijg about 1,400 workers from offshore rigs along the Texas and Louisiana coasts the day before. Forecasters said Ella's ill-defined center was a little less than 400 miles east-southeast of Corpus Christi at 7 a.m. and approaching in the general direction of the middle Texas coast at 12 to 14 m.p.h. Ella's winds have increased to around 70 miles an hour it was reported.

Federal judges in Virginia ruled against school integration at least for the moment in cases at Norfolk and Alexandria yesterday. One judge, though, made it plain his ruling is subject to change after the Supreme Court acts on the Little Rock case now pending before it. A group of about 50 white boys milled around the high school at Van Buren, yesterday for the announced purpose of keeping Negroes out of the classrooms. Their strike that's what they called it in a telegram to Gov. Orval Faubus asking his help produced mixed results.

The youths had hoped to bar all 13 Negroes who attended school briefly Wednesday. But two Negro girls attended classes and left the campus without incident aboard a school bus with white students. Last night about 20 teen-age students returned to the campus and burned a Negro in effigy from the school flag pole on their second attempt. Their first attempt was thwarted by a civilian guard. They went ahead the second time despite the guard's shouts and threats to shoot.

The group seemed to be out for a lark rather than trying to stir up serious trouble. holders and the public."

Before entering the bargaining room, the UAW president amiably shook hands with GM Vice President Louis G. Seaton.

GM Agreeable Sraton, GM's chief negotiator, also told newsmen the company would do everything it could to head off a strike. "I came here first because I thought this would be a good place to start," Reuther smiled. He said he would join Forn and Chrysler talks next week before the union executive board meets to set a strike target and deadline. "We are not rigid," Reuther said. But he added the union would not compromise its demands for increased layoff pay benefits, pension improvements, special benefits for displaced workers and a wage increase based on productivity.
