FRANCE TO LIMIT
FOOD AND FUEL USE
BakshopS May Close One Day
In Week-Economy Move
on to Save Franc.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
PARIS. June S.-The period of
sack cloth and ashes" predicted
some time ago by Joseph Caillaux,
former minister of finance, is upon
France, and the public accepts it with
resignation, but reluctance. 1t is con
nected with the battle to save the.
frame and it anticipates restrictions
in the consumption Of bread, meat and
other necessities.
A committee of four ministers,
which will manage the regime of re-
StrictionS. started its work today.
The ministers will tread their way
warily, for they realize they are on
delicate ground and that increased
tariff barriers will provoke reprisals
abroad to the detriment Of Frances
export trade; that restrictions carried
TOO far will have a bad effect on home
Industries and fri2hten away tourists.
BakeShopS. ii is expected, will be
closed one day each week. Fancy
bread and rolls will be prohibited and
flour for cakes and pastry severely ra-
toned. Butcher shops Will close once
and perhaps twice weekly.
There are 80 be no bread cards
which it would take time and money
10 print and distribute. There may,
however. be cards for articles import
ed in large quantities, such as gaso-
line, coffee, sugar wool, cotton and
coal, notably British hard coal.
A number of members Of Parliament
are advocating the formation of a ma
tional administration by an addition
TO the present cabinet of leaders Of
other political groups in the capacity
OF ministers of state. They believe
thfs would strengthen the govern
ment's standing in the eyes of the
country.
It is even said this idea has found
favor among several members of the
cabinet, who has gone so far as to offer
their portfolios to Premier BRAND. if
by doing SO the formation of such q
nationally representative ministry
would be Facilitated. M. BRAND, how
ever, thus far has taken no action.
Finance Minister Peret, in view OF
persistent reports, has repeated most
emphatically that the mass of money
held in reserve to defend the franc
has been used neither wholly nor even
in any large amount. He says there is
not the slightest idea Of alternating
even the smallest part of the gold re-
serve of the Bank of France.

ARTIST SEEKS
EMOTIONS

It's pretty tough job to get the
best results out of banquet Il
someone seizes the hotels knives
and forks just as the diner is about
to pitch in and it's the same
way about pictures of emotions
when one wants to deliver lecture
about 'em.
That's the contention John s.
Hornback, counsel for Victor de
Kubinyi, painter of human emotions,
is making in the District Supreme
Court today, in his efforts to OBJ
tain the release Of de Kubinyi's
emotional canvasses, attached yes
terday because Of an alleged debt
of 81 900 which Miss C. Larrimore
Kelley, former counsel for the
artist, is trying to collect.
Hornback admits the pictures
don't belong to de Kubinyi He
says the artist painted them, be-
cause de Kubinyi is about the only
chap in his field, to date, who
knows anything about painting
emotions.
But the pictures are mortgaged,
under a formal deed of trust filed
last Christmas week, Hornback
says, ana are the property Oh LIE
trustees. r.
But the trtist has to use them
in his lecture, sponsored by sew
eral society women, at the May
flower Hotel next Sunday night.
So Hornback is filing a bond with
the District court to indemnify the
United States marshal for the
pictures. and asking that they be
released.
The lawyer used the banquet
illustration in discussing his petit
ton.
Miss Kelley plans to fight release
of the pictures, she said today.
No matter what the outcome OF
the court action today, it isn't like
ly that official opinion will be given
on the value Of the emotional can
vases.
The auctioneer employed by the
court when the pictures were at
tached, placed their value at $50.
The bureau Of modern art, which
is de Kubinyi's official sponsor, said
their worth Is from $4,000 to
500 900.
The bond offered by de Kubinyfs
lawyer states no amount, merely
pledging the bonding company to
indemnify the court for the pictures
to any amount the court may set
az their true worth
