DISORDERS IN PARIS
REJECTION OF FINANCE BILL RESENTED UNRULY DEMONSTRATIONS IN STREETS. POLICE MAKE BATON CHARGES. (Reed This Day, 12.50 p.m.) PARIS, April 7. Clashes between the police and demonstrators occurred in the vicinity of the Senate Building tonight as a result of the decision of the Finance Committee (rejecting the Finance Bill) which makes the fall of M. Blum’s Cabinet inevitable. Shouting "Long Live Blum!” and “Caillaux (chairman of the Finance Committee) to the Gallows!” three thousand demonstrators attempted to storm the Senate Buildings. After baton charges, in which a policeman was knifed in the stomach, but no other serious casualties occurred, the crowds eventually dispersed. Placards were posted in the morning calling on .Communists, Socialists and trade unionists to join in a demonstration which the Minister of the Interior immediately banned. Crowds, defying the ban, got to within a few hundred yards of the Senate Building before they were driven back. About five thousand police and Mobile Guards were posted in the vicinity.
