PARIS, Oct. 7 tI.N.S.).
Two events today indicated
an irreparabIe split in the so
called Popular Front" gov
ernment which has ruled
France for years.
One was the use Of troops
to break a strike in an auto
mobile factory that was
seized by Sit-dOwn strikers.
The other was a sharp warn
ing by former Premier Leon
Blum that the Socialist party
will ally itself with the Com
munists if Premier EdOuard
DaIadier disSOlveS Parliament.
Both were interpreted by
observers as presaging a wide
swing to the right by the
Daladier government. The
governments action against
the strikers was the first
since the popular front"
government was created.
Blum voiced his warning

Mint PRODUCES
JEFFERSON COIN

Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, director
of the Bureau of the Mint, yester-
day launched the first Of the new
jefferson nickels, which however,
will not start jingling in tbs
pockets of the nation until next
month.
At the Philadelphia Mint Mrs.
Ross watched the new coins come
shining into the light Of 1898. For
the first time in more than SO
years-1883, to be exact-a nickel
is being made with the motto I'm
God We Trust on it. Although
the motto is required on silver
coins, Mrs. Ross deemed it wise to
put it on the new jefferson nickel
because elm these parlous times
it was well to reaffirm such trust"
an associate of hers said.
A total Of 12,70O.O0O of the new
jefferson nickels with a face
value of $685. ,OOO) will be turned
out before distribution will be
made. Collectors and other citi-
zens eager to get the new coins
will have to do so through banks,
through whom distribution will be
made, probably early in Novem-

The new nickel carries a like
ness of Thomas jefferson on one
side and of his home on the
other. It was designed by Felix
Schlag, Of Chicago, who won the
