PARIS, Nov. 19--France's Parliament, rallied by the nation's hurt pride over U.S.-British arms shipments to Tunisia, gave Premier Felix Gailard a resounding vote of confidence tonight by a 256-182 vote.
This vote gave the austerity-minded young leader special powers to lay down the economic law as he sees fit. It will mean higher taxes for Frenchmen.
The vote was taken as civil servants, perhaps a million strong, went on strike and shouted in the streets for higher wages. A desire to restore damaged French prestige abroad and fear of opening a new political crisis at home forced the deputies to go along with Gaillard's unpopular special powers bill.
