...gesture of clapping on his silk hat and waddling out. Twenty Communist Deputies rushed in a fist-shaking, hoarse-shouting phalanx toward the centre of the Chamber, and only concerted efforts by all the sergeants-at-arms checked their assault. In the Senate it was the duty of former Premier Blum, since he is now Vice-Premier, to read the declaration of policy of the Chautemps Cabinet, but this temperamental M. Blum refused to do. He had resigned after an adverse Senate vote fortnight ago as Premier (though not obliged to do so) and sulked last week in wounded pride...

Few, if any, qualified foreign observers appear to believe there is a likelihood of anything more dramatic happening here than a continuation of the arrests, dismissals, trials and shootings." It was dramatic enough that the Premier of Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic, the Vice Premier, and the Mayor of Bukhara were ousted from their jobs last week. The Premier's brother had meanwhile committed suicide. Over in White Russia, where the President killed himself fortnight ago, it was Railway Commissar Nikolai Vladimirsky who committed suicide last...
