Saarbruecken, Aug. 14. The deputies of the "German Front" made a long protest at the Saar Parliament during the sea sion on Tuesday against the anti- German measures of the Saar Commission.

At the same time the group protested vehemently against the continued and unex- plained retention by the Govern- ment of records seized at the Ger- man Front offices despite the court injunction ordering restitution. The protest closed with the threat of appealing to the League of Na». tions.

At the sessions opening during the President's reading of a short tribute to Hindenburg, ten Marxist and Communist deputies demons- tratively left the Chamber. Transocean Kuo Min.
