At least 13 persons were be- lieved killed in two shooting -in- cidents Sunday. Twelve were reported killed in a six-hour battle that raged around a hotel on the outskirts of Santiago, the country's second largest city, There were conflicting reports on the cause-of the battle that saw army tanks sent in against an estimated 125 former rebels barricaded in the rambling, two-storey Hotel Matum. Shoot- ing ended following the ar- rival of 150 U.S. paratroopers of the inter - American peace force. But the violence spread to Santo Domingo, 120 miles to the south, where a policeman was disarmed and fatally shot through the head by a member of an angry pro-rebel mob, one of many roaming the littered downtown streets. Shooting could be heard in scattered parts of the capital late into the night. A violent explosion rocked the western part of Santo Domingo at midnight. There was no im- mediate report of the cause of the blast. i CU SL i AU Die In TORONTO (CP) -- Fire claimed the lives of three of} Mr. and Mrs, William Wilkins' | Four Children Inferno asleep on a couch in the living room while watching television.

SEE HO CHI MINH fy (Continued on Page 2) RANCE CHOOSES EGAULLE AGAIN France's Wartime Leader Wins 55 Per Cent Of Vote By PETER BUCKLEY PARIS (CP) -- President Charles de Gaulle was given another seven years Sunday to guide the affairs of France. At the age of 75, with decades of military and political life be- hind him, the wartime Free French leader received a man- date from the voters to exer- cise until 1972, if he wants to, the enormous powers of the French presidency. Re-elected on the second. bal- lot, Le Grand Charles can turn his attention now to the Com- mon Market, relations with Western Europe, the United States, China and the Soviet! bloc, France's defensive alli- ances and a backlog of domes- tic needs. De Gaulle got roughly 55 per cent of the valid votes cast Sun- day, a good bit short of the "frank and massive" support he had originally demanded but still a firm 10 per cent more than Francois Mitterrand, the 49-year-old candidate of the united left and his sole oppon- ent on the second ballot. TURNOUT IS BIG Despite pre-Christmas occu- pations and generally damp weather, the turnout was nearly 85 per cent of the eligible voters, almost equal- ing the record number who voted in the first ballot two weeks earlier. With only a few overseas posts still to report, election offtciais reported that "more than 24,000,000 of the 28,558,709 eligible had voted. Some 12,- 868,601 supported de Gaulle and 10,586,150 Mitterrand. There Moai nearly 700,000 spoiled bal- lots. It took two ballots to re-elect de Gaulle, instead of the single ballot that had freely been pre- dicted when he announced his candidacy at the beginning of November. On the- first vote Dec. 5, with an absolute majority needed for election, de Gaulle won less than 45 per cent of the vote, pvhile. Mitterand drew 32 per cent. Four other candf- dates split the remainder and were eliminated from the ruri- ning. ; All four runners-up directed their supporters to oppose de Gaulle but only about half obey« ed, apparently preferring the candidate they knew fo the one they didn't. The wide-open sup> port Mitterand enjoyed from the Communist party made his can 'who kad toposed de Gaule 10 aulle the first round, x a f se told a press conference three days before the second ballot: "After what has happened, after all that has been said and discussed, de Gaulle 'will be led to re-appraise his actions. He will remain faithful to his basic premises, I'm convinced. But it is possible that, on one point or another, what he has learned during this enormous confronta- tion will bring some changes." But even Pompidou has neve? pretended to speak the gen eral's mind. Whether the opposk tion's relative strength will per« suade de Gaulle to alter his me- thods of dealing with the out. side world or with France's do- mestic shortcomings is an open question. If anything forces his hand, it could he: the elections for the National Assembly _ scheduled for 1967. At present, the Gaul- lists. and their allies command an absolute majority, Mitterand told reporters Sun- day night, after conceding vic- tory to de Gaulle, that he will get right to work preparing for the parliamentary elections aim- ing to make them the "decisive encounter that will save the re- public from the adventures into which a diminished Gaullism will plunge it."
