RADICALS WRECK
FRENCH CABINET
Herriot Faction WithdraWs,
Fighting Increase of
Premier's Power.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 6.-The radical
members Of the French cabinet with
drew from Office today. wrecking the
government of Premier CASTOR Dou-
mergue.
Former Premier Edouard Herriot,
minister without portfolio under Dou-
mergue, and head of the Radical So
cialists, had been in opposition to
many of the premier's ideas.
The premier was understood to be
prepared to give President Lebrun the
collective resignation of the whole
ministry, which has been in power
since the blody riots of last February.
Strong Political Veteran.
Herriot is one Of the strongest po-
litical veterans in France and his op-
position to the premier, which has
caused a series of rumors of impend-
ing breakdowns in the government in
the last few weeks, was regarded as the
crux of the situation.
Five other Radical Socialists sat in
the cabinet with Herriot.
The radical groups action was
taken at a meeting of party leaders,
and it was indicated that Doumergue
would offer the designations formally
to President Lebrun at once.
Herriot May Head Cabinet.
It was indicated that Herriot him
self would form the next French
cabinet and serve as its premier with
almost identically the same ministers
forming the body except that Andre
Tardieu, another Doumergue minister
without portfolio, would become min
lister of justice and vice premier.
Doumergue was said by his friends
to be furious and disheartened" at
what he considers the betrayal and
desertion" of the members of his own
cabinet upon whom he had counted
for devoted support instead of the
constant need of whipping them into
line, his experience throughout his
Office
Herriot and his colleagues had been
pressed by some quarters to resign
unless Doumergue modified his de-
mands for additional dictatorial pow
ers, including the right to dissolve
Parliament without consent of the
Senate.
Riots Are Feared.
The Radical-Socialist leaders fear
a renewal of riots as result Of their
withdrawal, thus breaking the polit-
ical truce by which Doumergue as
Sumed the premiership in the dark
DAYS of last February.
Doumergue has formulated a pro-
gram to strengthen the powers of the
premier in an effort to extend the
life of cabinets. which averages but
about nine months.
Although few Deputies accuse Dou-
mergue of wanting to be a dictator,
many want to keep what power they
can instead of handing it over to
the premier and the cabinet. The
public appears to side with Dou-
mergue Millions have pledged him
their support.

MUNICIPAL CENTER
SIZE CUT URGED
Commissioner Hazen Makes
Suggestion to Speed
Construction.

Drastic curtailment of the size of
the proposed Municipal Center, in
volving the sale to the Federal Gov
ernmeat of the South two squares
bought for the purpose, was suggested
today by Commissioner Melvin C.
HaZen as a means Of starting construc-
ton in the near future of the first unit
of the center.
Such proposition, if approved by
Congress, would mean that the Dis
trict would build Municipal Center
Of half the size contemplated by pre-
vious acts Of Congress and by archi-
tectral drawings already prepared
This radical new suggestion is one
Of four proposals being considered by
the Commissioners as means of start
ing the first unit of the center, held
to be urgently needed to provide hous-
ing for the municipal police and
Juvenile Courts.
Two New Suggestions.
Two other new suggestions now be-
fore the Commissioners are that Con-
gress advance money for construc-
ton of the first unit, to be repaid at
some future year at the rate of
81 100000 a year after the District
has paid its indebtedness under the
District public works act: or that
Congress be asked to authorize the
District to borrow funds from the
Public Works Administration for the
Municipal Center.
The fourth suggestion is the old
plan that Congress appropriate
money for the purchase by the Fed
eral Government of the District
Building this sum to be used to start
construction of the center. If this is
done. apparently the District would
have to pay rent for the District
Building while awaiting completion Of
its new home.
The various suggestions are to be
discussed at meeting of representa-
tives of various civic and business
groups, called today by the Commits
sioners to be held at IL am. Fri
day. Among groups invited are the
District Bar Association, the Wom-
ems Bar Association, Federation OF
Citizens Associations and the Board
OI 1IdQe.
Sultan Makes Proposal.
Only last night Engineer Commis-
sioner Dan I. Sultan suggested that
Congress be asked to authorize the
District to obtain a grant of $4,000
600 from the P. w. A.-70 per cent
to be repaid by the District-to start
the municipal center. He pointed out
that the District is saving $4,000, ,00O
of its P. w. A costs by reduction of
the sewage disposal plant project
from $4,000, 900 to $4,000, 900. A spe-
cial act of Congress would be required
to effect this proposal.
Hazen said he was committed to
the idea of disposing to the Federal
Government of the south half of the
center site. He recalled that the Com
missioners, years ago, when the center
project first was considered, originally

tions.
Life Set at Five Years.
The life of the committee was set at
five years, although it may dissolve
earlier upon its own motion. A COM
mittee report explaining the character
and makeup of the new committee
said:
While it is not yet known whether
the committees most important serv-
ices will be in connection with pro-
posed legislation or with seeking to
improve the administration of exist
ing law, our group is clear that the
success of any legislative work which
the permanent committee attempts
will depend considerably on:
"G) Its ability to prevent conflict
ing proposals from being simultane-
ously urged by civic groups, as well as
"(2) The extent to which Congress
is able to depend on the views of the
committee as actually rejecting gen.
aro1 yuhlin continent
In constituting such committee
it is evidently important, SO far as
possible, to avoid including any one
having an ak to grind, or any one ap-
pointed or serving for the honor or the
publicity, or any one having political
or official position closely related to
the administration Of justice, or any
one whose natural approach to the So
luton of the broad public questions is
personal rather than impersonal."
Various Experience Sought.
The organization group sought to
include a lawyer or lawyers who have
had actual experience prosecuting
criminals. but whose present practice
does not ordinarily include such
cases: a member interested in the
science of government, persons ex-
perienced in drafting legislation, per-
sons experienced in presenting bills
