Deputies cried down Drahmed Maher, president oi the Chamber, when he attempted to road a mess .,t, from King Farouk sus- pending Parliament for one month. Behind barred doors they voted against the Gnvcrilmcnt 180 to 17, while Mahr-r shouted the ses- sion was illegal. '

At the same time the Senate quietly voted its Incl: oi confidence in the new Government of Prom- ler Mohamed Mahmoud 83 to 4.

After the vote the deputies left the parliament buikiings through hundreds of foot and mounted police. The majority went to the

nearby club oi the Nationalist Wafdist political party. There Nahas called for the

Mahmoud Government to resign and declared the attempt to sus- pend Parliament had failed as the Outcry was so great the decree could not be rend. The suspension was to have clcaicd the way for new elections by which the new Government hoped to overcome the Wafdist parliamentary ma- joriiy.

When Mnhrr attempted to read the decree, Nnhas sprang to his feet demanding the right to speak linhthetnanle of the fathcrland."
