Paris, Feb. 6.-(R-Violence follow
ed Wednesday on q religious ohserv-
ance Of the first anniversary Of
bloody Tuesday" as shouting youths
clasl1ed with police within sight Of
Notre Dame cathedral.
Thousands Of young men, most Of
them in uniform, chanted the Mar
seillaise and shouted France for the
French!' They withstood q police
charge in the Place st. Michel but po-
lice dubbed them so thoroughly that
they kept moving.
The clash, in which many Of the
young men struck down their oppon-
ents with loaded canes, occurred just
after an unpleasant incident at Notre
Dame cathedral where Premier Pierre
Etienne Flandin and Perfect Of Police
Langeron were Kissed and jeered as
they entered and left the religious
service in memory Of the 10 persons
who died . year ago In riots
throughout the city.
Prefect Kissed Az Assassin
At the close Of the rites, q group
of 30 or 70 persons shouted "there
goes the assassin" as the project Of
police walked down the aisle with
Premier Flandin and approached the
church's massive doors.
Outside, . solid barrier Of police
kept the multitudes away from the
steps and protected the egress Of the
premier and the others from the
house Of worship.
The fear Of an attack on Flandin
caused furry among the police when
q man broke through their lines and
ran toward the premier. He was ar
rested but told the authorities he
wished only to tell the chief Of gov
eminent Of the country's troubles. He
was unarmed.
As the premiers car left, the Royal
list Kings Henchmen" shouted:
France for the Frenchl on to the
Place de Ia Concorde! down with the
assaSsins!"
The great crowds massed around
the cathedral threatened several times
to sweep the police lines apart and,
many times the police were on the
point Of charging into them. Every
one held his ground there, however,
and the clash came finally only when
the shouting youths blocked the Place
st. Michel and refused to move UNI
til they were driven off.
Stavisky Shadows on Scene
Part Of the cathedral crowd moved
slowly toward the Place de Ia Con-
corde where they encountered addi-
tional guards.
Meantime, marching columns OF
Royalist and other students threat
ened trouble around the Sorbonne.
The Royalists tore down Socialist
posters. Leftist groups quickly re-
taliated by tearing down manifestos
printed by the rightists. They also
tore down government posters which
ordered university classes suspended.
A blanket Of flowers marked the
imaginary unknown rioters tomb"
before which the Parisians came to
doff their hats in salute and stand
momentarily in silent homage In the
Place de Ia Concorde.
They reverently laid their floral
offerings in q heap In memory Of the
10 persons who died under police bull
lets as they rioted against "a corrupt
government" and the government
machinery which had permitted the
Stavisky scandal.
The victims blood was symbolized
in the square by splashes Of red paint

flower bearers from q distance while
q few Of them kept the crowd moving.
