 Following a discussion on the budget at the Municipal Council, Mr. Levillain, S.F.I.O. municipal councilor, on an intervention by Mr. Garchery, deputy and communist municipal councilor, replied to him harshly:- We don't need you, tartuffe! Mr. Garchery did not want this tartuffe to appear in the Bulletin. This tartuffe meant nothing to him. Tartuffe is not a communist insult. It is classic, therefore it is reactionary. He therefore tried to avoid the unfortunate word appearing in the Bulletin. But, Mr. Levillain, using his right, had it kept there. There was a discussion yesterday on this subject, in the refreshment bar, right under the joyful fresco by Jean Veber: the Cabaret. Mr. Garchery was insolent. He was wrong, because Mr. Levillain, who has strong hands, hands whose thumbs would cover a five-franc coin, if there were any still in circulation, raised one. This coachbuilder's hand fell once, twice, three times on the cheek of Mr. Garchery who was content to note the damage and in the process lost the knife he was holding between his teeth.
