Heated Exchanges In Assembly
Paris, Nov. 13.
Communist-led riots in Marseilles yesterday and the attitude of the Communist leaders of the CGT have created considerable tension in French political quarters.

Leon Blum would shortly be called upon by the Pre- sident of the Republic to form a government which would not only receive the backing of the middle political parties in the National Assembly but also that of the large number of organised workers now in open revolt against the Communist tactics and Communist do- mination of their trade unions.
