OVERTHROW

Warned to Prevent
Occupation Strikes,

PARIS, July 8 0.N.S).-Leon
Blum, Frances first socialist
premier, was red-faced with en-
barrassment today after his popu-
lar front government was forced
by the French senate to announce
formally it would tolerate no more
Occupation" strikes.
In making this declaration, the
government aroused the furious
anger of the communists, who
hold 78 seats in the chamber OF
deputies and who, though they de-
clined to participate in the cabi-
net, form a powerful pillar Of sup
port for the left-wing regime.
The new controversy left Blum
in a delicate position, threatened
with overthrow by the senate If he
fails to keep his word and sup
press the strikes, and threatened
with overthrow by the commun-
lists if he bows to the senate.
ARMY ROW LOOMING
The attitude Of Communists was
voiced by Senator Clamamous,
who said:
Occupation strikes are legal,
and French workers intend in
future to use this weapon to
force recognition Of their de-
mands."
At the same time, tempest de-
veloped in the army over an order
by Air Minister Cot to deliver
French arms secrets to Soviet
Russia, notably information con-
corning a rapid-fire aviation gun,
known as Canon 49," which IS
timed to fire between the blades
of an airplane propeller.
Colonel Bellenger, noted in
ventor, in a public statement said
he would refuse to give to the
government his aiming visor in

agrees not to reveal the secret to
