His activity had been largely limited to the Senate, where he has served off and on since 1946. ‘ As president of the Senate, Poher automatically b e c a m e provisional president to organ- ize elections within 20 to 35 days. De Gaulle resigned early Monday after getting less than half the vote on a referendum project for regional and Senate reforms. Poher. often the flag-waver for various centre movements, is sometimes called overly canâ€" did but politically adept. His single political passion is a united Europe: ”Our country hind the change was the sharp personality conflict between the is alone in the wide. wide world and can no longer play the role that is now hers,” he said in his campaign for “No" votes in Sunday’s referendum. Son of a highly successful enâ€" gineer, Poher himself is a min- ing engineer. as well as a law- yer and holder of university deâ€" grees in economics and political science. - . In addition to serving With the French Resistance during the Second World War. he spent most of his career as a governâ€" ment functionary or public ofâ€" ficeholder. ‘ Poher was born in Ablon~Surâ€" Seine on April 17, 1909. He has been mayor of his home town since 1945, having won the Croix de Guerre and been made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor for his service in the Resisnâ€" ance. A Chubby, round-faced man with greying hair. Poher lives with his wife of 31 years, Hen- rietta. in a comfortable garâ€" dened house in Ablon-Surâ€"Seine, southwest of Paris. There on weekends, they are visited by their married daughter, son-inâ€" law and granddaughter. . “Brutally projected into histoâ€" ry at age 60,” is the way one newspaper described Poher's present position.

De Gaulle‘s ministers would not go to the Senate when Monnerville was presiding. of the general’s motiviation. But de Gaulle went ahead with his plan. The senators, looking morose- ly for someone who would take the personal passion out of their relations with de Gaulle. swept Poher into their top post. i SAN FRANCISCOw lUPIl,â€"â€" Larry Lewis cele- brated his 102nd birthday yesterday by running the. 100-yard dash in 17.3 sec- onds â€" One second faster than he did it last year.
