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.
