PARIS, March 25.--(A)--Premier
Leon Blum tonight failed to halt a
wave of strikes which his own sup-
porters inspired to prevent his cab-
inet's overthrow.
Strikers, estimated to total 26,720,
got out of hand and demanded con-
cessions which employers so far have
refused.. The government sought a
method to appease them.
The Socialist Premier, however,
averted a cabinet crisis by withdraw-
ing a plan to divert 3,145,000,000
francs (currently about $95,900,000)
from the exchange equalization fund
to a special defense fund.
The Senate yesterday refused to
approve his proposal and Senators:
denainded Blum quit the offlee he has
held since March 13 in favor of a
national union government with an-
other leader.
Blum declined to press his plan. He
took to the Chamber of Deputies the
measure the Senate had approved for

rently about $152,500,000) to meet

Urge Retention OfI
Presen LExemptions
WASIUNGTON, March 25.-(/P)-
The Senate Finance Committee per-
formed another major operation on
the House-approved tax revision bill
today, removing its gift and estate tax
provisions.
Chairman Harrison (Dem., Miss.)
of the committee said members were
swayed by arguments of state officials
that the House provisions would lead
the federal government farther into
state fields of taxation.
Rejecting the House levies, the
committee wrote into the bill those
in existing law. Harrison said this
would eliminate confusion and would
not reduce revenue.
Yesterday, the committee wiped out
the House-approved undistributed
profits tax and overhauled the capi-
tal gains levy. The changes today
left only minor portions of the House
measure intact.
$40,000 Exemptions Made
The House bill would provide a flat
$40,000 exemption for both estate and I
gift taxes, reduce a separate annual
exemption for gift taxes from $5,000
to $3,000, and reduce credits allowed
for state gift and estate tax payments
from about 25 per cent of the federal
tax to 16.5 per cent.
The Senate committee recommend-
ed retention of the present separate
$40,000 exemptions for both the estate
and gift levies, or a total of $80,000,
and eliminated the other changes
voted by the House.
Harrison said statements bykGov.
He'bert H. Lehman of New York and
other state officials had a great deal
of influence on the committee's de-
cision.
Lehman Assails Bill
Lehimn, in a letter to the com-'
mittee this week, charged that the
'independent sovereignty of the
states is threatened by Federal tax-
ing policies." He said the House pro-
visions would give states "only a one-
sixth right" to estate taxes..
The Senate committee approved an
amendment by Senator Brown (Dem.,
Mich.) to exempt banks in liquidation
Ifrom corporation income taxes.
Harrison made public a treasury
estimate that the committee-ap-
roved capital gains tax would yield
$45,400,000 this year. It was estimat-
ed that the House-approved capital
gains levy would produce only $42,-
1200,000.

tant than what science knows as
truth, the noted author and critic
said.
1,500 Pi'resent
Ultimate realities, he told his :udi-
ence of 1,500, the ultimate questions
of the origin of man, his relation to
the universe and to God are unique
and cannot be classified.
There are two kinds of religions, he
said, the ethnic, of which Judaism isj
an example, sprung from the earth,
and the representative spirit of the
people which gave them birth; and
the mystic, which Christianity type-
fies, that, have profound reality cor-
responding to the profound needs of
the human soul. The great mystery
religions, lie continued, correspond to
the constant and universal psycho-
logical mechanism in the human
make-up. Thus the universal sense
of guilt which is in man gives reality
to vicarious atonement.
Jewish Religion Unique
The ethnic religion, the Jewish re-
ligion, is unique, it is the religion of
historic experience. It repeats itself
from age to age, from Pharaoh o
Hitler, and this repetition is the mar-
velous thing about it, Dr. Lewisohn
said,.
The content of this historical ex-
perience is the meeting of man with
the divine, not visually, in Judaism,i
but by hearing the divine command
and obeying it. The central fact of
