Reds Riled By Matter Of Prestige

| PARIS, Wed. (1.20 p.m.).—The Com-j ! munist veteran, Marcel Cachin, when | : the Assembly resumed today, again j attempted to prevent approval of the I list ol’ vice-presidents in which the j Communist (M. Duclos) has third ! place. j M. Cachin refused to accept the i party leaders’ list and finally walked j out of the Assembly, with all the i Communist deputies, leaving the chair | vacant. | The Assembly found a temporary ! solution when the next oldest deputy, i the radical, M. Maurice Violette, • took j the chair and declared the list ap- ; proved. j The Assembly adjourned to tomor- 1 ! row with the minutes of M. Herriot’s | | appointment as Assembly President on j ! January 13 still not approved and with j | the Communists maintaining the right j jof M. Duclos to remain senior vice- j j President | I i Blowlamp Explodes * \ ROTORUA, Thu.
