(Received March 10, 5.5 p.m.)
PARIS, March 9
A disturbance caused by his wife's resenting the conduct of another deputy interrupted the appeal of the Prime Minister (M. Leon Blum) in the Chamber of Deputies for a French loan.
Madame Blum was sitting in the Speaker's gallery . with a friend when she saw a Rightist deputy (M. Beatrix) laughing during M. Blum's speech. She exclaimed: "Be quiet; you could not do it half so well."
An argument followed, which caused a temporary suspension of the sitting. The bill was passed by 470 votes to 46.
