entered its third successive day with
out administrative leadership.

disorders. more gold reserves were
withdrawn today from the Bank of

Francois Pietri. the fifth man to be
assigned the premiership by President
Lebrun within five days, offered con-
cesSions TO leaders OF opposing politl-
cal factions through a full day Of
negotiations for a cabinet. but finally
was forced to report to the President
that he could not form a cabinet.
BOuissOn Called. Refuses.
Like Pierre Laval Yesterday. Pietri
found his prospective ministers re-
mCtant to serve He likewise found
that he would have uncertainty in
obtaining a majority in parliament
on Government proposals. especially
on the main issue of defending the
French franc through the issuance Of
emergency powers to the government.
After Pietri's failure President Le-
orun called in Fernand BouisSon and
asked him for the third time 10 try
TO organize a government. But Bouis-
son refused

bearded former premier whose first
cabinet fell within four days, after
costing him the presidency OF the
Chamber of Deputies, a post he had
held for nine years previously.
After BouiSsons visit to Elysee
Palace, President Lebrun called back
Pierre Laval. who also had failed to
organize a ministry, and asked him TO
try again TO form a government.
Known as a financial expert, the
Corsican Pietri was President Albert
Lebruns fifth choice for the premier
ship.

dent of the chamber; Jules Jeanneney,
president of the Senate; Laval. foreign

body, were invited to accept the mis-
sion of releasing the nation from its
political lmpaSSe.

declined. BOuiSSon previously sue
ceeded in forming a ministry to sue
ceed that of former Premier Pierre
Etienne Flandin, but his government
was defeated by the Chamber on the
same issue which caused Flandin S
downfall
Laval twice refused before he finally
was persuaded to make the effort.
Then he failed.
Before Pietri accepted Lebrun's in
vitation. minor street disorders brought
ominouSly to the nations mind the
potential consequences of a prolonga-
ton of the present crisis.

windows of Raymond Patenotres LIE
