COPENHAGEN. = AS a result
of Denmark's elections. the new
government is composed entirely
of members of the Liberal Left
party which won 4S of the Folke-
ting's 148 seats.
The Social Democrats, who OBJ
tanned 48 seats, are still the larg-
est party, but neither they nor
the Communists, who hold 18
seats, were willing to continue in
office. Nor was there much readi-
ness on any side to form a coali-
ton government.
The Liberal Left party, also
known as Agricultural party, has
the bulk of it's voters among the
property owners of the rural
classes. It's leader, Knut Kristen
sen, Denmark's new Prime Minis
ter-or State Minister as he is
called here-came out in his open
ing address for reform and devel-
opment of social legislation, but
implied that his Cabinet was not
in favor of expanding state con-
trolls and restrictions.
During the dark years of the
occupation" Mr. Kristensen said,
1.-The Danish people gathered their
defenses and worked for re-estab-
fishing a free government with
the rights and justice which go
with it. 1t is now our duty to show
the people that we can as prac-
teal and active instrument pro-
mote the welfare of the nation
and the prosperity of the land
The Cabinet has declared itself
in favor of the reunion of South
Slesvig with Denmark, provided
that the population of that region
which had belonged to Germany
since 1864, would vote for return
to Denmark in a plebiscite.
Among measures to be enacted
shortly Mr.. Kristensen mentioned
setting up of commission to con-
slider changes in the Constitution;
reformation of the tax system and
vigorous support of a large-scale
building program.
Role In World Trade
The government also announced
that il would pay special atten-
ton TO reintegrating Danish econ
omy into international trade and
open up satisfactory markets for
Danish products.
In the first six. months after
the liberation. d a n S h exports
have amounted to 100000 900

Legion Leader
 Rops Government On Vet Help

Chicago, May 8-(UP)-National Commander John Stelle of the Am- erican Legion charged today tAat the Government was "scornful of its obligation" to help veterans find jobs.
 Stelle, appearing before the John F. Conley Post of the Legion, said there were three veterans to each non-veteran on the unemployed lists. He said there were more than million available veterans unem- ployed.
 In a three-point corrective pro- gram, Stelle proposed:
 1. Divorcing the veterans em- ployment service from the U. s Employment Service.
 3. withholding Federal funds from states which do not provide preferential employment for vet eranS.
 8. Transferring veterans coun- selors and local veterans employ ment representatives from the USES to a veterans employment service.

West tVirgini0 |SoIonUphoIds Miners Stand

Washington, May B. (UP)-A House Judiciary Subcommittee yes- terday recessed its hearing on leg- islation aimed at the United Mine Workers royalty demand after the only opponent to appear called the bill a ''crackpot panacea." The opponent was Rep. Cleve- land M. Bailey, D-W.Va.). He said he also represented three other Democratic members of the West Virginia delegation: Reps. Matthew M. Nicely, John Kee, and D. H. Hed- rick.
 The hearing concluded on its sec ond day as angry Congressmen de- manded that means be sought to force a showdown with miners President John L. Lewis and an end to the disastrous coal strike.
 Opposes Virginlan
 Bailey opposed only bill of Rep. A. Willis Robertson, (D.-V.), which would outlaw demand or payment of royalties on productive effort. He said he could not comment on 8 bill of Rep. Howard W. Smith, O.- Va.), which would apply the prin- ciples of the recently-passed anti Petrillo law to all commerce, because he had been unable to obtain copy and study it.
 Concerning the Robertson bill, Bailey said:
 Once more we have here demon- strated the often repeated instance that when our country is faced with an emergency, either real or imag- ined, there is someone always ready to come forward with 8 crackpot panacea as a solution that com- pletely ignores the basic causes underlying the emergency.
 Invariably the plan is punitive legislation aimed at punishing the other fellow-just makeshift legis- lation that offers no long range or permanent solution of the difficult ty."
 Great Safety Sought
 After Bailey concluded his testi- mony, Subcommittee Chairman Zee bulon Weaver, (D-N. O, recessed the hearing. If no others ask to be heard, the group will draft bill for submission to the full Judiciary Committee.
 Bailey told the subcommittee that some means must be sought to force greater safety in the coal mines and to provide greater benefits for death and injury in mine accidents.
 He said that in West Virginia alone during the last 10 years 3,515 miners have been killed and there have been 183, 3,797 injuries.
 Bailey said the Robertson bill would infringe on the constitutional rights of individuals, would strike at the principles of social security legislation, nullify the Railroad Re- tirement Act and "in no way re- move" the basic troubles.
