Paris, June 23-(AP) The fall of the French Government was threatened today In the midst of Schuman plan negotiations. Socialist members of the National Assembly announced they were deserting the government tomorrow on a vote of confidence on a technical question of Increased salaries for government workers.

On the surface. Foreign Minister Robert Schuman's plan to pool coal and Rteel resources with five other Western European countries had nothing to do with the Socialist decision. The defeat of Premier George Bidault and the resignation of the cabinet, including Schuman, in the middle of the negotiations would be a heavy blow to the plan, however. French Socialists have declared they want the Schuman plan to succeed, but they have, said also that they believe it would be dangerous unless the British join. Britain has stayed away from the negotiations.

On paper, the Socialist desertion seemed to spell defeat for the government. Actually, however the So-rialists did not take up an unalterable position. They said they would vole against the government unless some ''new element" appeared in the situation. Consequently, some political observers expected a last-minute compromise. The government of Bidault Popular Republican, is eight months old.

Should the opposition garner a clear majority 311 votes in the ballot tomorrow, the cabinet would have to quit. It might resign anyway if it felt lta margin was too narrow.

The purses contained a total of $113 in cash. "I was shocked and amazed by' the unnecessary and malicious question which was asked me at 'my press conference this afternoon as to whether or not I am or ever have been a Communist. That is not a proper question to ask the Secretary General of the United Nations. The record of my past, when I was In Norwegian politics, is open for all to read. Anyone who reads the record knows that I have always been a member of the Norwegian Labor party, which is a Socialist, not a Communist party.

How many more persons now live in the country? Final answer to these and tHe many other questions asked on the 1950 survey must wait until next week, Edmund C. Dean, Census Director, said.

Dean's figures for the entire county. These figures will not be released until area headquarters gives an O. probably Monday or Tuesday, Mr. Dean said, The county population, Mr. Dean estimated would exceed 700,000.

In 1940, the county figure was 621,987. Since the first enumeration district was reported April 11, 28 editors and tabulators have been working at break-neck speed to get the count completed, Mr. Dean said. "It waa a race with other cities in the country," Mr. Dean remarked.

He said the census office here fell behind other cities because the Cincinnati area was one of the few in the country selected for the residential finance aurvey. 1 11-1 7 76 89 0 86 69 7:30 a. 7:30 p.
