If Serge Granier, 24, a sculptor, is elected first President of the French Fourth Republic this week, France will have no more worries. In fact, France will have no more of anything. Cried wild-eyed Sculptor Granier: “If I get elected, I abolish everything.”
“So you are an anarchist?” he was asked.
“Certainly not,” snapped Granier, “I abolish anarchy too.”
More probable presidential choices: Socialist Vincent Auriol, Radical Edouard Herriot.
