The strong-arm Red forces seiz ed the giant factory as part of a planned national sit-down strike in protest against the imprisonment of the Communist leader. The strike itself was a dismal failure.

IN SECOND ATTEMPT The Reds, led by a Communist member of Parliament, first tried to seize the Renault plant —a sprawling City in itself—this mor ning, only to be held off by loyal and plane guards. But between 2,000 and 3,000 Reds, organized as commandos, seized control this afternoon while outside 3 he JJailij Jftttcucd an additional 7,000 organized a shouting demonstration. Officials of one plant barricaded themselves in the office section, awaiting a possible attack.
