SAYS NEW LAW TO AFFECT TENURE -- Lome, Le Togo Francais, 7 Dec 51
One of our correspondents in Paris reports that the 9 December elections
to the Representative Assembly of French Togoland will definitely not entail
the usual 5?-year tenure of office for the elected delegates. Six months to one
year after the final vote by the French Parliament on the new law concerning
the assemblies in the overseas territories, new elections will take place ac-
cording to the provisions fixed by this law, that is, with a single college,
instead of the present two for French Togoland.
Our correspondent reports also that another project now being studied aims
at'increasing the powers of the Representative Assembly of French Togoland and
at establishing an executive .council attached to the office of the Commissioner
of the Republic for French Togoland. However, this is still only in the plan.-
ning'stage and very shortly will be placed on the agenda of the French National
Assembly.
