than interest on the investment. and
on the other extreme that the bridges
would open up route which would
attract enough patronage to retire
the entire loan in six or eight years.
To support the minimum yield posi-

Communists Are Strongest ln French Election

PARIS, CP) - The Communists emerged today as the strongest party in Frances new fourth re- public, but the outcome O. yester- days national election seemed un- likely to bring a strictly leGt-w-ns government.
 On the basis of incomplete re- turns from balloting for a national assembly,, some new coalition ap- peared probable in place of the combine of the communists and the current provisional govern ment.
 Prior to the election the com munist party and the MRP each promised if elected to shut out the other from any new cabinet, but the election results seemed to have made this impossible.
 The communists busted Presi- dent Georges ,Bidault's MRP from the legislative lead, winning back the place they took in the first constituent assembly elected Oct. 21, l945, and lost in the second elected last June 2.

Truman Advocates Labor-Management Armistice
By Marvin L. Arrowsn1ithl

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman today advocated an arm istice between labor and manage ment in his first public statement since he junked wage and price controls.
 Wartime curbS on the two groups were lifted after five years when MT. Truman swept ceilings off all items except rents, sugar and rice. Rent increases appeared inevitable" to some government officials.
 The subject of a labor-manage- ment truce came up at the Pres ident's Armistice Day news con ference when a reporter asked whether he had noted such pro pOSalS.
 MT. Truman replied that he had not heard of the suggestions, but said it is just what he has been urging since August, 1945, when the war ended.
 The chief executive killed off the price and wage controls in a weekend order, declaring: q am convinced that their further con tinuance would do the nations economy more harm than good" At the same time the chief ex- ecutive placed "squarely upon management and labor the Ire sponsibility" for economic stabtl- ity.
 His decontroI cdlct brought im- mediate promises from industry and business leaders that prices will be held at reasonable levels. after a period of readjustment. But some of these leaders tenn pered their pledges with a big Eff" if wage demands don't upset the ,appleCart.
 From labor unions, many of which already are seeking higher pay to offset living cost increases, there was nothing but silence on the Presidents action.
 Robert R. WaSon, president of the national association of manu- 'faCturers, declared that prices af- ter a temporary rise, twill be ad- IjuSted downward under restored competitive conditions" unless in dustry costs are forced up ''by an- other round of wage demands"
 MT. Truman's order wiped price ceilings off building materials as well as scores of other items, in cluding clothing, automobiles, furniture, paper, steel and other metals.
 Officials of the national housing agency which fought elimination of building material controls, ex- pressed doubt that the $10,000 sales lid on new homes can be held for long, although MIA chief Will son w. Wyatt has voiced deter imitation to do so.
 Privately, aides of Wyatt said it may be necessary to boost the cell ing to $12,000. And the $80 rental lid may have to be raised.
