PARIS VOTES
FINANCIAL
DICTATOR
Chamber Grants Rule of Franc
To Premier; Police Watch
Crowds, Fearing Riots

PARIS, June 4 (IT.S).-By the
narrow margin of one vote, the
Finance Committee of the Cham
Der of Deputies today granted
Premier Fernand BuiSson dicta-
torial powers to rescue France
from her financial crisis.
The vote was 10 to 18.
The government of Premier
Bouisson received a vote of con-
fidence from the chamber, 800 to
1872.
M. Bouisson won out on the
same platform that only last week
caused the defeat of Pierre-Eti-
enne Flandin after five months
in office. -
The difference lay in the com.
position of their cabinets. The
presence of M. Caillaux did more
than any other single factor in
swinging the chamber into line
with M. BouisSon's demand that
it temporarily hand over its legiS-
lative powers to the executive
branch to meet a financial and
economic crisis unequalled in re-
cent times.
Police Guard Alert
An unusual movement of police
and mobile guards was evident
throughout Paris.
The activity was believed con-
nected with a strike of thousands
of shopkeepers, bakers and cafe
workers. particularly in the So
called "red beat," where many
closed their doors for "a hours in
protest against taxes.
Violence was reported from one
suburb, where strikers attacked
shops, scattering their merchan-
disc.
M. Bouisson told the chamber
he had gathered about him The
widest ministerial coalition since
the war with the objective of re-
storing the country's finance and
economy and preserving its cur
rency.
Exceptional measures are neces-
sary, he said, and must be taken
Immediately to be effective.

who attempted to bar rescuers
in the belief they were coming
to take away their churches.
The Mexican Red Cross and
the government participated in
immediate relief measures.
All of the villages affected lie
in a bowl formed by surrounding
mountains. The heavy rains
caused Kochimilco Lake to over

through ancient canals. filling
every village along them with
mud. San Pedroactopan was COW

When relief workers arrived,
indians of the villages were slosh-

ancient Aztec warning:
"Neche Maca MOma"-death

Some of the finest gardens on
the North American Continent
grew in this valley. Indians cul-
tivated flowers and vegetables of
unusual excellence, richly fed by
the fertile soil. These gardens all
were ruined.
