By KENNETH T. DOWNS

Dy OOWNO
PARIS, March 25 G.N.S0.-A
new cabinet crisis for France was
averted today as Premier Leon
Blum bowed to senatorial oppo
sition to his financial plans.
Possibility that the cabinet
might resign was voided when
Blum. at a ministerial council
meeting, said he would ask the
chamber of deputies to vote favor
ably On the senate version Of the
finance bill.
The cabinet met after the sen
ate rejected Blurn's financial pro-
poSalS, chief Of which was a sug-
gestion that $500, ,000, 900 be trans
ferred from the exchange equaliza-
ton fund for purposes Of national
defense.
Blum's action In announcing he
would ask the chamber to accept
the senate dictum was regarded
in political quarters as "knuckling
under" to the senate rather than
accepting the alternative of re-
signing or battling it out with the
conservative upper house Of the
parliament.
The senate version Of the H.
nance bill calls for initiation
amounting to 100000, 900 francs,
