PARIS, May 4.—-(Monday) —'l'he Leftist Popular Front rolled on to victory today. Through department after depart. ment the red wave swept, carrying the alleged Radical S0cialist.s_ soc. iallst and communist forces to con- glrol of the next Chamber of Depu- es. The Communists rapidly reached. ' then rapidly exceeded the 60 seats they themselves predicted. Ofd familiar figures of the polit- icsi scene went dovm. Marcel Dent, Minister for Air, was defeated by a Communist newspaper-man. Jacques Stern. Minister for the Colonies, and Pierre Msso. Under-secretary for Public Affairs. both went under. Early this morning. with only five constituencies unreported, the Pop- ular Front held 375 of the 018 seats in the new chamber, or as over an absolute majority. In the second arrondissoment of Paris, where the stock exchange and financial houses are located, Poul Reynaud. former Finance Minister. only defeated the Communist can- dldsto by 27 votes. There, however, the right-wing forces were divided. the Independent Republican can- didate i-«kins 1.908 votes which normally would have gone to my- nsud. discipline The Popular‘ Front worked more thoroughly than even ":8 most ardent supporters expected. In the first ballot the constituent Radical Socialist, socialist and Communist parties fought under their own party banners with their own party programs. On the second ballot the lower—plsced candidates retired, leaving the more fortunate in the field on the minimum agreed program of the Popular Front. They united in blocking the “path of Fascism." Their battle-cry was “for bread, peace and liberty." Tile National Front, representing the forces of the right, attempted similar tactics. Their loss rigid party orgenlzations proved ins effective. The socialist party. with 146 seats, will replace the more moderate radical Socialist party as the pre- dominant group in the chamber. and probably will be called upon first to put forward a candidate for the premiership. only 115 Radical Socialists had been elected on the basis of returns from all but five seats. The Communists had ill. compared with 20 in the previous chamber. The riahi. and centre groups had captured 233. C o n s ervatlve Member Dies OTTAWA.

The Ncgus, now an exile, planned to board the destroyer sent here by the British Gov- ernment and to sail shortly for Aden, Ara-bia, en route to Eng- land. Refusing to make a declara- tion as to his intentions, the Empcror——appearing very thin and tired—-asked the French governor to bar newspapermen from the railroad station. An Italian who attempted to photograph the Negus was pre- vented from doing so by Eth- iopians and several blows were exchanged. The incident took place in front of the Ethiopian consulate. The Empress Mennen was the first to get off the train, follow- ed by Haile Selassie and Crown Prince Asfa Wosan, but neither Prince Mnironnen nor the little princesses were seen. The Em- press was heavily veiled rlld np- peared to be overcome by emo- tion. Many natives openly wept when Halie Selassie appeared. Others cheered. Accompanying the Emperor were Baa Kassa, Ros Destn, For- eign Minister I-‘lerrouy and Deli- Jazmatch Emerou, and so high court dignitaries. The British destroyer arrived this morning from Aden. It was understood the family would remain for the night at the pa'ace and embark on the destroyer early tomorrow. After luncheon the Emperor retired alone to his room.
