Amsterdam, May 18-(UPJ-Hol- lands first election since 1887 dis closed today that the country sur vived the war without political upheaval. The moderate Catholic Party still was the strongest.
 Queen Wilhelmina was expected to commission the Catholics to form cabinet, almost certainly a coali- ton. The Catholics = probably will ask the Laborites to join the cab inet.
 The Communist Party almost trebled its votes but remained rela- lively weak, running fourth in both total votes and seats in the lower house of Parliament.
 A total of 4.76O, ,2O6 men and wom- en elected 100 members of the low CT chamber to succeed the provision al body sitting since the liberation. The Catholics won g seats, Labor g, Anti -Revolutionists 13, Com munists 10, Christian Historical Party 8, Freedom Party 6 and Protestant Reformed 2.
 Labor made a strong bid to oust the Catholics as the dominant par ty, but failed by a small margin. The Catholics boiled 1.466,510 votes to Labor,s 1,347, 900. The Anti Rev. olutionists were third with 614,177 and Communists fourth with 502,- 935. The Communists won 10 seats, compared to three they held previ- ouSly.

has such powers. If he doesn't, the Senator said
 Congress ShOuld provide them.
 Ball denounced Peppers suggestion as fam taStic"
 Commenting on the soft coal strike and Senate attempts to draft anti-strke legislation, Sen James M. Tmnell (D.-Del), said there Is definite intent through the use of so-called cooling off periods to prevent the right to strike"
 Direct across the table bargaining is the only way to settle the coal strike not through arbitrary legislation costing the American people their hard won rights" he told reporter Everybody wants coal production but 1t shouldn't be attempted through anti labor amendments"

US. Falling Food Pledge
Other SuppIiers
 Meet Their Quotas

Washington, May 18.-WP)- The United States today appeared to be the only one of the worlds four big countries with food sup pluses that is falling down on its promises to help feed hungry peo- pies.
 Dr. D. A. Fitzgerald, director of the Agriculture Departments office of allociations and re- quirements, said Canada, Aus
 tralla and Argentina all ap- peared to be meeting their ex- port goals. He just returned from a world tour of hunger areas with former President Hoover.
 Fitzgerald said Canada was eX- ceeding its goals and Australia would just about hit it's export tar gets. He said Argentina probably would fall short of its wheat export goals but would make up the deficit with corn and other coarse grains.
 Under MT. HO0ver's new prO- gram for staving off mass star vati0n during the next five months, the United States would have to export 4,22O,00O
 tons and Argentina 2,S75,OOO
 tons.
 The Agriculture Department dis closed yesterday that this country's steadily declining grain exports hit a new low in the first 10 days of May. They totaled only 1O5, 900 tons as compared with goal of about 333, 900 tons.
 The Department pointed out, however, that the shipments did not include the huge volume of grain that has been flowing ing from farms to country ele- vatOrs under the Governments
 grain bonds program. It said
 this would be reflected in
 heavier exports within few weeks.
 The May lag in exports brought this country'S deficit for the first four -and-a-third months to about 959,OOO tons.

Cool Farley. Moves Afoot
 Government Heods
 Consider Seizure

Washington, May 18 = CUP) = New moves were under ,conSidera- ton today to breathe new life into the stalled soft coal wage nego- tiationS. ,...,
 Cautious statements by off, cialS of the Government the United Mine Workers (A.F.L) and the coal producers indicat- ed that fresh moves were afOOt.
 Neither group, however, indi-
 cated when it might act.
 Meanwhile, Government officials, who are considering possible seizure of the mines upon expiration of the current truce next week, watched anxiously to see if seizure would be successful in keeping the nations railroads running.
 ;. The first week of the two-
 week truce i'm the coal strike
 ended today with production
 expected to hit 9,OOO, 900 tons.
 This is about 25 percent below
 weekly production before the
 strike and 100000 tons under
 the nations normal weekly
 needs.
 John L. Lewis demands for q $70, 100000 welfare fund for his miners remained the principal stumbling block in the coal dispute and neither side appeared giving in.
 Some sources believed this
 adamant stand would push MT.
 Truman toward seizure of the
 mines some time next week in
 an effort to keep them Operat-
 ing after the present temporary
 two-week work period ends. They believed that if railroad
 workers continued to work for
 the Government, instead of
 striking today, the coal miners
 might follow suit.
 Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Sch- wellenbach has said that Federal seizure was the only legal measure left to the Government in an att tempt to keep coal production go- ing. Some Administration leaders fear, however, that the miners would refuse to return to their jobs even if the Government did seize. There is nothing to compel them to work.

$500 Still n Services
 500 Are Occupied
 Within One Month

' Of the 69, 900 workers in the non- agricultural labor force available in the Waterbury Labor Market Area, $500 were unemployed and seeking work on April IS according to Labor Market Developments Report released by the U. s. Employment Service today. An estimated $500 who would ordinarily be included in the labor force for the area were still serving in the armed forces on that date.
 Between March IS, and April Is, total employment rose from 62,6OO to 63,400,' with the return of ap- iproximately 900 veterans being off, set to some degree by temporary withdrawals from the labor market of veterans not yet ready to seek employment and by permanent withdrawals from the labor force. During the same period manufac- turing employment increased 800, primarily veterans, to total 4l,2OO. Employment remained well above the prewar level set at 32,200 in April 1940 Manufacturing estab- lishments continued to provide em- ployme1t for 65 out of every 100 workers in the area.
 Employment in non-manufactur- ing activities also increased during the month. There was, gain of 300 distributed among the construc- ton, trades and services, and trans- portation, communication and pulp jjc utilities industries. The total in- crease in employees over the prewar month of April 1940 was 1,700.
 Claims for Compensation The number of Unemployment Compensation claims filed each week declined during the latter part of March as the end of the benefit year approached and jumped sharply in April as the new year began, according to reports of the State Labor Department. Despite these fluctuations, there was net decline between the weeks ending March 16 and May 4. During the period total claims declined from 3,366 to 4,238, initial claims rose from 173 to 468, and continued claims declined from 3,193 to 2,770. rs0atin11nd Page 2-(5. .30O)

GiroI Report Stings Spoin
 UN Asks Big 4
Probe of Fronco

New York, May 18- OP) The United Nations turned today to the Big 4" powers for further light on Spanish Republican assertions that Nal agents in Spain are working secretly to rebuild GermAny's armed might.
 A LIN Security Council sub
 committee studying charges that
 the Franco regime menaces
 world peace yesterday asked the
 four-pOwer Allied Control COun-
 cil in Berlin for evidence on
 amy "clandestine rearmament"
 program directed from Spain.
 It sent similar requests to the
 governments of the United
 States, Great Britain, Russia
 and France.
 The subcommittee also made pub lie the text. of a bulky dossier on Spain submitted by Premier Jose Giral of the Spanish Republican government-in-exile to support al- legations that Franco is perpetuat- ing Axis ideals of aggression and ruthless persecution.
 One section of Girars report con- tains detailed information - with names, times and places-on' al- legged efforts by German agents in Spain to preserve intact the core of Germany military power: Stan training and technical research.
 The Spanish Republicans also
 charged in their stinging indict-
 ment of the Franco government
 that Spain Is plotting to seize
 French Morocco, part of AL
 geria, and the British rock
 fortress of Gibraltar. To accomplish this aim, the Garal report said, Spain now has S4O,OOO men under arms constituting "the most powerful. war machine" in Western Europe - and is devoting three-fifths of its 1946 government budget to military preparations.
 Moreover, the Republicans warn- ed, Spain has the raw materials and technicians to construct the atom bomb and will not be, bound by any LIN compact limiting the use ot atomic energy to- peacetime pur- poses.

Trainmen May Refuse
 To Work With Truman at Throttle
By UNITED PRESS

Most railroad engineers and tranmen ready to put the brakes and swing down from their trains to begin strike late today that would disrupt the of pas sengers and freight across the nation
 The strike, affecting all but one of the nations 13O major roads, would almost immediate food short ages in larger cities. If it continued, it would force widespread industrial collapse, unemployment and grave blow to the nations economy.
 If the strike comes, trains will grind to stop at F. M. standard time in each time Thus paralysis would spread the nations rail network from East to Vest and would take at least three hours to bring the trains to complete stop.
 However the trains would not stop at the stroke of F. M. but would continue to the next division point, which usually is large middle-sized city. Railroads posted notices in stations warning passengers that they could expect delay if they embarked trips late today.
 Railroad officials said they could not anticipate whether the strike would be called for the most part they sched ued normal service today Prior to President Trumans seizure of the roads, however many lines imposed freight embargoes which prohibited shipment of livestock and per- ishabe freight including food which would not reach its destination before the strike hour.
