PICKARD r Oast on Doumergue ' 7'■ C'RANCE seemingly narrowly «•- ” caped a civil war. Following two daya of bloody rioting in Paris and other cities, Premier Daladier and his cabinet capitulated and the reins of gov ernment were put In the hands of Gaston Doumergue, the sev enty-one-year-old for mer President who was in retirement on his country estate. His reappearance on the political stage was in response to the - ' pleadings of President Lebrun and many oth er patriots who were convinced that he alone could restore the country , to quiet. It was condi tioned on pledges that both chambers of parliament would support him un reservedly and that the president would give him an executive ojjder dis solving the parliament and calling new elections, to be used If he considered It necessary. So the “Iron man" of France, as he has been dubbed, re turned to Paris with plans for a small cabinet made up of former, premiers and party leaders and with power to make himself the virtual dictator of the country. r War veterans, Monarchists, Commu nists and other elements Joined In the violent demonstrations that forced jwit. the Daladier regime. All joined in op position to the government, though-no -•one of the gnmps was hr accord wtth- any others In other respects. The mobs were furious and fought desper- ately with the police and the .troops that Daladier bad brought -Into the capital. The rioters, ojeratlng mainly 7h the Place de la Concorde and the region about the Palais Bourbon where the chamber of deputies sits, were raked by HflAchiDCL gun fire, sphered by mounted troops and clubbed and shot by the Idfestry and police. But they returned to the fray time after time and would uot cease the struggle until Daladier resigned. The number of dead was estimated at fifty, and more than a thousand persons were wounded. After the battles were over the boulevards In the center of Paris presented a scene of desolation and destruction unequaled there since days of the commune In 1871. Organized labor of France, to show Its disapproval of what U considered the Fascist methods of the new gov ernment. staged a one-day strike that Involved one million workers. Virtual ly every Industry was shut down and communication with the outside world was Interrupted. Thirty-five thousand unable to prevent riots and the looting of shops by the Communists. Through out the nation the armed forces were held ready to suppress disorders. Maj. Emil Fey 5* 1 *'' i ■ D OWNRIGHT warfare between So cialists of Austria and tire gov ernment broke out following the proc lamationof i general atrike ant) a conflict between So cialists and the po lice In Linz, capital of Upper Austria. In the melee the police, re inforced by troops, used machine guns and their opponents hurled hand-grenades, with the result fhat scores of persons were killed. Martial law was declared In Linz and Vienna and civil ians caught with weapons were or dered shot at once. Later the troops at Linz opened fire with artillery on Socialists barricaded on the banks of the Danube. First to respond to the strike call In Vienna were the municipal gas plant workers; electric plant employ ees fallowed, snd the street car serv ice was paralyzed. Chancellor Doll- fuss and his cabinet were attending a special service In St. Stephen's cathe dral commemorating the anniversary of the coronation of Pope Pius XI, and in the midst of the ceremony the lights went out. The government Issued orders for all troops in the Vienna district to stand ready for Immediate action. Fascist helmwehr (home guards) troops, equipped with machine guns, moved out of Vienna toward the thickly pop ulated factory districts. Meanwhile, emergency works organ izations, trained to man the electric and other public service plants, were called out for duty. . „ The cabinet went into permanent session and decreed the dissolution of the Socialist party. This was the sig nal for attack on the Socialists by the Fascist helmwehr led by Prince von Starhemberg. *nd for desperate resist ance by the Socialist Schutzbund. which was well armed.!’* Barricades and barbed wire entanglements were placed in the streets and the govern ment troops went Into action, with bloody results. The.row with the Socialists came to s head when Maj. Emil Fey, vies chan cellor and directog of public security, deprived Karl Seits, Socialist burgo master of Vienna, of all his police pow ers. These powers were assumed Im mediately by Eugene Seydal, chief of police, who Is directly responsible to Major Fey.’ v They Include public or der, police a press clubs and societies, the regula tion of foreigners and expulsions, transportation, theaters, and public amusements. _ The situation In Austria was fraught with International peril. For the time being the German Nazis were awaiting results, but it was admitted that If the Dollfuss government could not sup press the revolt Italy and Hungary would have an excuse to Intervene; then Germany and the nations of the little entente might be drawn into the affair. T WENTY-TWO days after he was kidnaped, Edward G. Bremer, banker of St. Paul, Minn., was set free in Rochester, Minn., and made his way home, nervohs and with wounds on his head inflicted when he was ••snatched,” but otherwise un harmed, His father, Adolf Bremer, wealthy brewer, hud ‘paid the $200,000 demanded by the kidnapers, in $10 and $5 bllls,_ through an Intermediary.

G OVERNORS of all the states have received from the admlntitratloh a draft of s model state recovery law which would make all national codes of fair competition automatically ef fective within the statea. It Would re mora the threatening possibility of, a constitutional barrier to the enforce ment of those codes among concerns that do not deal In Interstate com merce.. .

MacCracken re mained In hiding nntll the senate war not In session, and then emerged and sought to persuade Sergeant-at-Arms Jurney to arrest him so that he might make use of a writ of habeas corpus he already had obtained, and thus get the matter at once into the civil courts. But Jurney hid himself, locked up the warrant and refused to act until Mac Cracken could be hronght immediate ly before the senate. Next Justice O’Donaghue of the Die- tton of the privilege. trlct Snpreme court, who had granted the writ of habeas corpus, fined Mtc- Cracken $100 for contempt in assert ing that he was held In bodily restraint by Jurney, and the writ was Invali dated. Thereupon Jurney arrested MacCracken on the senate warrant revenue bill which was brought before the house, though there were some ob jectionable provisions . which they hoped might be removed by the senate finance committee later. The bill now represents a compromise between the recommendations of the Hill subcom mittee and the suggestions of the Treasury department The chief -phanges are those with respect to de preciation, consolidated returns and corporate reorganizations.
