Many persons believed that the
disturbances at Marseille, where The
Communists had just lost the mayor
atty to Degaullist, were staged in
the hope of forcing the resignation
of Degaullist councilmen and the
city administration.
Marseille itself was reported quiet
today, but 80 per cent of the in
dustrial sections of the city, includ-
ing the port, were idle because OF
strikes called by Communist labor
leaders.
A Communist Party communique
declared virtual war on the gov
ernment's railroad, gas and cleo
tricity rate increases, and called on
party followers to prepare every
thing to assure the success OF the
action of the popular masses against
high prices"
The Paris committee directed all
who use the utilities to form action
committees" to carry out struggle
for the abrogation of the increases
and limited at strikes in the pub
lie services by declaring such COM
