PARIS, March S.-President Dou-
n1ergue today urged Aristide BRAND
to form a new government, but the
aged statesman is expected to refuse.
BRAND arrived from Geneva this
morning, unshaven but smiling, and
went directly to the Elysee Palace,
where Doumergue, woh had just ar
rived from Lyons, awaited him. The
conference to find cabinet to gov
ern France have begun.
The franc slumped to 28 to the dol
lar today as the extreme gravity of
the situation became apparent In
Paris.
NJ. Deselves was closeted with the
president and the defeated premier
An hour later BRAND left the Elyseer
apparently preoccupied with the i'm
port of his talk with Doumergue. He
said he had explained the situation
at Geneva, but refused to discuss
the Presidents desire that he form
a new cabinet.
Deselves left soon afterwapd and
Edouard Herriot arrived.
Doumergue believes BRAND is the
only man who can form a cabinet
| in time to protect French interests
at the League meeting in Geneva
Delay in forming q government also
would be disastrous within France
and the already deprecated franc
would suffer again.
