Blum Seeks Popular Front Government PARIS, March 10 (U. P.).—Leon Blum, Socialist leader, agreed today to attempt the formation of a Popular Front Cabinet extending all through the left to the Communists, in succession to the Government of Premier Camille Chautemps.

LONDON, March 10 (U. ‘P.).—Renewed political uncertainty in France brought ‘a flood of selling that plunged the French franc to a new ‘record low here today. In New ‘York and Paris quotations ‘were ‘the lowest since 1926, at 31.55 francs to the dollar.

Chautemps and his ministers resigned earlier today after only seven weeks and two days in office because their own followers in the Popular Front coalition rejected their demand for extraordinary financial powers to safeguard the Treasury. M. Blum was called to the Elysee Palace ‘by President Albert LeBrun and agreed to try his hand. As he left the Palace he said: “The President gave me a mandate to form a Cabinet. I am resolved fo carry through the task. I will try to constitute a Governdjemanded by the circumstances, which will be stable, durable and powerful, capable of rallying all the demogratie forces of the country. ‘With his writen resignation in his pocket, M. Chautemps faced the Chamber of Deputies today to make a ministerial declaration in which he announced that Socialists and Communists refused to support him. He said that unless they changed their minds, he would resign. Socialists and Communists remained unmoved. With a gesture of disgust, M. Chautemps left the une, ‘waved to his Cabinet ministers fo follow him and at an informal meeting in a Chamber anteroom the Cabinet made its final decision,

* Members went at once to the Elysee Palace where President Albert I.cbrun was waiting, and there M. Chautemps handed the Presiglen; the res Sighation.

However, at a secret session yesterday of the Supreme Court Military Collegium, the one time “most dreaded man in Russia” gave testimony which was believed to have established the love angle.

TRome Hints Hitler

May Cancel Visit ROME, March 10 (U. P.).—Unconfirmed reports were circulated

ments in Austria Fuehrer Adolf Hitler might ne¢t visit Rome as scheduled, for a state visit to Premier Benito Mussolini early in

© {May. These reports may have been |- based largely on deduction drawn’

in some quarters that the famous “Berlin-Rome” axis of co-operation might be overstrained by the Nazi

| program in Austria. Some Fascists

express duobt that the axis can stand the strain and they would not be surprised if the Hitler visit did not materialize. Fascists regard Chancellor Schuschnigg’s position as grave. There has been a revival here of reports that Italy had reinforced her garrisons near the Brenner Pass on the Austrian Frontier — 30 miles from the German-Austrian Frontier. These reports were denied, as they have been previously.

BERLIN, March- 10 (U. P.).—Reports from Rome that Fuehrer Adolf Hitler might cancel his forthcoming visit to Rome were described in official quarters today as ridiculous.

Foreigners Caught

In Vienna Riot VIENNA, March 10 (U. P.).— Hundreds of foreigners were marooned in shops today when police closed the Kaerntner Strasse, Vien-

rioting in which rubber blackjacks were used to disperse large groups of Nazi demonstrators. The demonstrations in Vienna and various cities of pro-Nazi Styria Province were in protest against Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg’s call for a national plebiscite on Austrian independence. Workers of the Fatherland Front clashed with Nazis at Graz and elsewhere in Styria. The extent of casualties was not immediately reported, but first aid detachments stood by. » Troops, 'gendarmes and police guarded key cities against more violent outbreaks. In Graz, the local Volkskultur— |; Nazi-—section of the Fatherland

BERLIN, March 10 10 (U. P.) —Thel Austrian “independence” - plebiscite | 25 called for Sunday by Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg was plainly regarded today as an anti-Nazi maneuver by Nazi Party and Government circles, which were considerably irritated.

Japanese Report

INDIANA INSURANCE

ih

Compensation Plan Will Be} Aired at Capitol.

A public hearing on the advisability of placing the State of Indiana in the industrial insurance business will be held in the House of Representatives chamber at the State House at 7 p. m. tomorrow. The commission established by a 1937 act to study this question has asked employers, employees and insurance company representatives to| attend. Indiana workers are protected in either of two ways under the pres‘ent private industrial insurance system. Employers can insure themselves aganst losses resulting from industrial accidents by taking out policies with private companies. If they can prove themselves financially able to pay workers’

stand the risk themselves. There -are three common variations of a State insurance system, commission members said. Under one type, employers pay the State Under another, the employers either can pay the State or elect to stand the risk themselves. The third type is a combination of the State and private - insurance system. State Senator Charles Bidwell, Sullivan, is commission chairman

” Indiana Accidents.

Atcidenis indicate inéfmctency in} traffic. movement, the State “High‘way Commission Trafic Bureau concludes in a survey report published in the March. issue of Outdoor Indiana, a State publication.

The Bureau points out that there i one: accident for each 208,500 ve-

{nicular miles traveled daily.

“For the most part these miles are “traveled over roads that are comfortable, convenient and safe

under certain conditions, but as long

as there are: 35,000 accidents -an-

‘nually, demonstrating traffic inef-

ficiency on: the streets and roads, the challenge remains to ‘eliminate as many of these accidents ‘as pos-

sible.” Six Major Causes ; Six major . causes of accidents and. seven reasons for Indiana’s traffic problem are listed in. the report. The causes are light, weather, road, vehicle, driver and traffic. : The reasons are: 1. According to a recent national survey, Indiana showed a registration of 270 motor vehicles per thousand population, while the national average was 230. An increased density of traffic usually results in increased accidents. 2. Four ¢f the seven transeontinental highways crossing the United States pass through Ijdiana, in addition to the movement of north

‘and south traffic.

3. Indiana’s most heavily traveled highways are in. the section of the State most frequently affected by weather conditions, particularly snow and ice during the winter. 1000 Vehicles a Mile 4. The state’ highway system’ of approximately 9000 -miles carries a daily traffic load averaging over a thousand vehicles per mile. (One of these highways has a peak load of 37,000 vehicles per day.) ‘5. Due to Indiana’s geographical location, e highways are filled with commercial vehicles, creating hazards resulting from a mixture of slow and fast moving traffic. 6. Many of the heavily traveled roads were constructed as much as 10 years ago and are not adapted in width or alignment to presentday traffic ‘speeds or volume. 7. Indiana does not have a speed limit.”
