Premiere Pierre Mendes-France today wort a solid but grudging vote of confidence in the French National Assembly for continuation of negotiations with the Western allies on German rearmament. The official vote whs 352 to 115, with the favorable voles being more -than half of all the members of the Assembly, voting, absent; or abstaining, While the majority was impressive, there was little emotional enthusiasm for the project Former Premier Paul Reynaud told Metides-France bitterly: "If you had spent half as much energy gel ting the European Defense Community through parliament as you have in Retting an independent German army, you could have saved EDO." Today a vote did not directly Involve approval or rejection of ihe plan to free and rearm West Germany, agreed on at the recent nine-power London conference.

But it does promise well for approval when the plan comes tp for ratification, probably next month. Victory on today' confidence test was assured the hard-driving Premier by yesterday's decision of the Socialist Party to go along with him on the German arms issue. But the arguments that preceded the vote made it clear that distrust and hostility still are strong among frenchmen of the American and British plan to give Germans guns again, for the defense of Western Europe. There were a large number of abstentions, including the Popular Republicans who had supported EDO which was Killed by the Assembly. The opposition was made up of the 99 Communist delegates, the Progressives and a scattering of holdouts among the Conservatives who either dislike Mendes-France personally or fear German rearmament more than the Soviet threat.
