Police mad plain clothes detectives guarded government buildings ana authorities were ready to rush re- nforcements to any trouble center. The popular front government or Leon Blum, socialist premier, re- signed in the early hours or the morning because of the senates adamant refusal to grant 1t extraor- dinary powers to meet serious financial situation.
 News Spread Rapidly

 Shumovsky, who accompanied the ambassador here to welcome Rus sia's new heroes, said the present flight revolutionized the theory that air cooled motors are preferable for long range flying.
