Georges Bidault Jo Try Jo form trench Cabinet PARIS IT)--Ex-premier Georges Bidault agreed today to try once again to form a government to handle the nation's mounting' domestic and foreign problems. If successful, his cabinet will be France's 19th government since World War II. The 53-year-old co-leader of the Catholic Popular Republican Movement (MRP) will go before the National Assembly either Tuesday or Wednesday to ask for confirmation. Observers gave him a good chance of success. Bidault was asked to take on the job by Presinent Vincent Auriol yesterday after the Assembly turned down radical Socialist pierre Mendes-France.

Bidault was foreign minister in the government of Premier Rene Mayer, which fell May 21. It is now carrying on as a caretaker government without power to form policy. The MRP chief formerly served as premier from June to November, 1946 and from October, 1949 to June, 1950. Mendes-France's defeat--by a 13-vote margin--has thrown an atmosphere of extreme pessimism over the French political scene, It has been followed b)' criticism both here and abroad of the Assembly's inability to forget politicking in the face of crisis, France needs a government to represent her at the forthcoming Big Three conference in Bermuda. This meeting already has been postponed once because of the French government crisis.

The voting begins tomorrow and will continue Monday.

At stake are 590 scats in the Chamber of Deputies and 237 the Senate. Confront the voters are three clearly-marked choices: 1. The middle-of-the-road four- party coalition headed by Premier Alcide de Gasperi, whose pro-United States, pro-European unity government has guided Italy for the past seven years. This center bloc is composed of De Gasperi's Christian Demorrats, Republican, Liberals and Moderate Socialists, 2. The Moscow-facing extreme left of Palmiro Togliatti's Communist party--the biggest this side of the Iron Curtain--and Pietro Nenni's left-wing Socialists.

The two parties are running independ ently but have an accord calling for unity of action. 3. The backward-looking extreme right made up of monarchists and the neo-F a i Italian Social Movement (MSI), which has shown a surprising increase of strength the end of the war.

There was speculation the Communists stepped up the fighting along the Eastern and East-Cen tral Fronts--despite signs that a truce may be imminent--for two reasons: 1. To gain ground for the time when a buffer zone between the present battlelines is set up after a truce. 2.

To weaken the South Koreans, who man that part of the front. The South Koreans have threatened to continue the fighting in the event of a truce.
