PARIS, Dec. "A 10-hour
silent filibuster" by Commu-
mist deputies was broken early
today and the National Assem-
bly, was called back into session
to enact a stringent antistrike
law requested by Premier Robert
Schuman to fight work stoppages
paralyzing the nation.
One stoppage was ended this

strikers from six power plants in
the Paris area, permitting subways
to resume operation after service
had been suspended for several
hours. More than 100000 workers
remained idle, however, stalling
every major industry.
The Communists silent filibuster'

Communist grip on the French labor
movement, ended when Republican

By the Asseeioted Press

A former official of the Gem

today the Government keeps it's

nounced by the Treasury when the
1947 fiscal year ended last June 80
was "iust a balance of cash"
Even businesses which are broke

subcommittee as it opened dis
cussion OF bookkeeping practices by

Mr.. Andrews said he was told the
supposed budget surplus did not in
clude billions of dollars of disburse-
ments by the Army and Navy that
were made prior to June 80 but not
reported to the Treasury until later. y
The same was true, he added, OF
unpaid vouchers covering more bill

ices purchased and used by the hun

! How on earth can any one say
whether there was surplus or {
deficit for that year unless and unit
they are taken into account?'

testified for an hour and arter
yesterday, and her brotht thomas

morrow, Government prosecutors
said.
Lamarre said before entering the
grand jury room he plans court
suit to recover $4,000 he claims the

the suit will be based on the 1000
realized in liquidating Aviation
Electric. Lamarre claims he was to
