Political leaders In both France
and Germany were struggling to form
new cabinets Saturday as the result
OF the downfall of the government at
Paris and the resignation Of Gen.
Kurt Won Schleicher as chancellor Of
the Reich, according to Associated
Press dispatches.
The French cabinet quit after the
chamber of deputies had defeated the
Paul-Boncour government on taxa
ton issue. Won schleicher resigned
when President Won Hindenburg re-
fused to invest him with authority to
dissolve the Reichstag. which con-
venes next TUESDAY.
Won Schleicher headed the goth
cabinet since the establishment OF
the German republic and resigned
after governing only Sc days.
This period was shorter than that
of any predecessor except the last
imperial chancellor, Prince Max Won
Baden, who served 80 days before the
revolution swept him into the dis
card.
General Won Schleicher realized
from President Paul Won linden
burg,s refusal to invest him with
power to dissolve the ReichStag that
he no longer enjoyed the confidence
necessary to steer the ship Of state
solely on the presidents authority In
the face of hostile Reichstag.
Won Papen May Reappear
The resignation of the Won Schlei-
cher cabinet was accepted by the
president after he had refused the
chancellor's request. Baron Franz
Won Papen, preceding chancellor. was
charged to report on whether q ca
binet could be formed on . parfia>
mentary majority. or other basis Il
the majority was unobtainable.

The Paul-Boncour cabinet fen d
dawn, fighting for q balanced budget.
with former Premier Edouard Herriot
vainly trying to rally support. The

ness, or his successor, must ask for

million and quarter dollars daily

Calls Consultations
President Lebrun summoned the
presidents of the senate and cham
Der, Leon Blom. leader Of the Social
list party which caused the overthrow,
Herriot, and other leaders for con-
situations
The 59-year-old premier. who had
been war minister under his pre-.
decessor, Edouard Herriot, lost his
post because the party with which
he formerly was affiliated, the So
cialists, deserted him.
They broke up the Radical Socialist
and Socialist combination, which had
sustained his cabinet as well as that
OF Herriot for six months, by refus-
ing to accept a per cent increase on
income and other general taxes.
Edouard Daladier and Camille
Chautemps, ministers under both
Herriot and Paul.Boncour, and Jules
Jeaneneny, president Of the senate,
! were considered likely to be called
upon by President Lebrun to form q
new government.
There seemed little chance that
Herriot, who made last minute plea
for the taxation measure, would re-
ceive an invitation again. He has
declared in unequivocal terms that
he will not resume the office until
France has agreed to make the
month overdue debt interest pay
ment to the United States.
Paul-Boncour's cabinet will con.
tinue to conduct current business OF
the French government until q new
premier completes organization of q
new cabinet.
