France On Second Day Without A Cabinet
And Rioting Breaks Out. Smashing Of
Windows Newspaper Office Is First
(By The Associated Press’)
PARIS, June 6, — Threats of disorders and renewed
gold withdrawals today disturbed France on her second day
without a government.
Francois Pietri, former minister of the Navy turned his
mind this evening toward creating a cabinet powerful
enough to defend France, and capable of winning the sup
port of the Chamber of Deputies.
He is the President’s fifth choice for the premiership.
Before Pietri accepted the president's invitation many
minor street disorders brought ominously to the nation’s
mind the potential consequences of any further prolonga
tion of the present crisis.
Fifty rioters smashed window of the Le Petit Journal,
the French newspaper which has been advocating currency
devaluation. An attack was also made on the headquart
ers of the French Free Masons whom the rightists are ac
cusing of wielding “occult influence” in politics.
The cabinet of Pierre Flandin failed to receive the vote
of confidence from the chamber of deputies, when the prem
ier forced an open fight on the question of allowing his cab
inet dictatorial powers to be used in the event of monetary
and currency evaluation.

Warning Martial
Law Is Hinted
At White House
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, June C, — The
warning that martial law would be
necessary to cope with unrest unless
the Wagner Disputes, and the Guff
ey-Snyder coal stabilization bills
were enacted, was attributed to
President Roosevelt, by several high
congressional leaders who discussed
the matter with him.
They said he used almost these
exact words: “indispensable to pre
vent the necessity of martial law.”
It is clear that these two meas
ures, the most vigorously demand
ed by unions, were high on the Pres
ident’s “must” legislative list.
The forecasts now are that con
gress will not end before August or
September.

White House Said
Be Considering
New High Taxes
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON June 6, — In the
midst of sharply conflicting specula
tions as to what long-term course
the new deal may plan for the NRA,
some congressional leaders said that
the White House was tentatively con
sidering new, high taxes on inheri
tance and gifts. This was explain
ed by legislators who would not al
low their names to be used, as an
attempt to continue and broaden
the NRA's social aims.
It would seek, they declared, to
increase mass purchasing power
through the re-distribution of mon
ey.
It was emphasized, however, that
the idea was still in the nebulous
stage. No one professed to know
what chance it had of emerging
from the While House in the form of
a definite New Deal plan.
The report that the White House
was considering taxes that would, if
levied, cut down large fortunes,
came as a surprise to most legisla
tors, The new proposal would be
to impose an inheritance tax on top
of the estate taxes which levies at
present are now bringing in around
a hundred and ninety million doll
i ars yearly.
