Paris, June 1.
The Communist-led General Confederation of Workers tonight called for a general work stop- pere in Paris and a nationwide wave of strikes in retaliation against the government's crackdown against the French Communist Party.
Steel-helmeted police stood guard throughout the country today as the Communist leaders were reported to be preparing a counter-offensive to the government's crackdown on their Party.
While the government mapped new strategy in ita "get tough" campaign, the Communists did not take [advantage of the Whitsun holiday, as they had done on cther holidays, to reply directly to the stiff police measures against them.
