.Jdpanese Go to Polls

Tokyo, April 10--tUP)-Japanese mothers with babies strapped to their backs and millions of other women emancipated by American decree cast ballots today in Japan's first national election under its modified democratic system,
 Early voting to choose 466 mem. bers of the new Diet was brisk and orderly. U. S. Army poll-watching teams posted by Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur to prevent illegal voting found little to do.
 An unexpected number of women crowded into the polls when the balloting began at z a. m. to cast votes for the first time in Japanese history. Several mothers carrying babies were among the 60 women to drop ballots into the boxes during the first hour in the first precinct of Toshima Ward, Tokyo.
 An estimated 10,0O0,O00 women, or half of those eligible to vote, had cast their ballots by noon. some observers predicted on the basis ot early balloting that the rate of women not voting would run be- tween 30 and 40 percent as contrast ed with prediction predictions Of 60 to 70 percent.

 Novel Committee
 Moy Ask Heorinq

Washington, April l0- CUP) - Army Navy rivalry broke out again today over a bill to merge the armed forces under a single de- partment of common defense.
 The measure, written by a Senate Military Affairs Subcommittee, was hailed by Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson as a comprehensive security program" that was of vital importance to the countCy." The generals were jubilant, recognizing the bill as @ flill-fledged Army vic tory.
 At the Navy Department, where a wedding with the Army has al- ways been bitterly opposed, the ad- niralS indicated their opposition to the subcommittee bill with ice but eloquent silence.
 In winter long public hearings, the Navy fought the principal mer- ger proposals so bitterly that Presi- dent Truman finally had to put on 8 gang" by announcing that mer- ger was administration policy.
 The ''gag" still was effective today, but the Senate Naval Affairs Com mittee was quick to reflect the Navy'S alarm. The committee 'in- vite6" the Military Subcommittee to explain it's proposal to place the Army, Navy and Air Force on an equal status under 8 single cabinet officer.
 The subcommittee was expected to do the explaining tomorrow. Af- ter that, the Naval committee will decide whether to take any action. Committee Chairman David l. Walsh, O., MaSS), of the Naval Comimttee has threatened to hold his own hearings on the issue if the Military Committees bill fail- ed to satisfy the Navy.

Cool Wage Conference 
 Lewis Leads Men

Washington, April l0-tUP) Ne gotiations to end the 10-day coal strike collapsed abruptly today when John L. Lewis dramatically walked out with the declaration that the conferences were futile.
 The walkout of the United Mine Workers (A.FL0 from the meeting with operators appeared certain to force the Governments hand if the To-day old strike of 100000 soft coal diggers is to be settled before it cripples industrial reconversion. It already has cllrtailed steel produc- ton.
 The next move appeared to be up to Secretary of Labor Lewis B Schwellenbach, who yesterday said the Government would give the miners and operators few more days to reach an agreement on their own. He did not immediately indi- cate what the Government could or would do.

Farm Bloc Successful
 SOddIes Trum0n's
 Bills with Riders

Washington, April 1O-UP)-- President Truman today faced the possibility that the congressional farm bloc will saddle more of his favorite bills with its plan for high CT farm parity prices.
 The Senate already has included the parity provision in legislation to increase minimum wage stand ards from 70 to 65 cents an hour -one of MT. Truman's legislative "muStS." The Senate passed the amended bill despite the PresideutS warning that it would be vetoed.
 The controversial provision would direct the Government to include labor costs in computing farm par ity prices. Economic Stabillner Chester Bowles said it would in- crease consumer food prices con- siderably.
 The House farm bloc. led by Rep. Stephen Pace, O.-Ga), has indi- cated it will fight to retain the higher parity provision in the min imum wage bill. And yesterday Pace obtained rules committee clearance for a House vote on q separate bill to revise the party formula.
 Pace said his action did not mean that he and other farm leaders would agree to drop the parity pro vision from the wage bill, Rather, he said, they will try to get both measures though they might also tTy to tack the parity provision onto other Administration biila.
