Local rains Run as Usual
 Industry Uneasy OmJCoul Strike

Passenger and freight trains wer' running as usual here today, bu' resumption of the coal strike kept industrial leaders uneasy.
 The embargo on freight ship ments has been lifted, but the Of- flee of Defense Transportation has warned that 1t will have to be in- voked again unless the coal situa- tion improves. Renewal of the em- bargo would again halt shipments and deliveries to and from local factories.
 The first train tO leave Waterbury after termination of the rail strike left Union Station at 9:12 Saturday night for Bridgeport, with ohly five passengers aboard. Passenger traf- flc increased considerably yesterday and appeared about normal today
 Factories will reopen Friday after the Memorial Day holiday. Had the rail strike continued, some plants were prepared to close down from Wednesday night until Mon- day or later.
 The post office today was again accepting all types of mail Regular deliveries were being made, and a backlog of second, third and fourth class mail which was arriving was being quickly reduced. Postmaster Charles A. Babin said normal serv- ice can now be expected.
 Major local plants have sizeable stockpiles of coal, but these will dwindle rapidly with no new deliv- cries being made. More important however, in the view of industrial ists is the possible necessity for re- stunning the embargo on freight if there is insufficient coal for regular train service.

ChionsA Aims AtHorbin

Peiping, May N-QUP) Chinese Nationalist troops raced 30 miles north of Changchun today to come within 100 miles of the Northeastern Manchurian capital of Harbin.
 The advance brought them within a few miles of the important com- manifestations city of Tehhwei on the Changchun- -Harbin railroad.
 They have lost contact with the rapidly retreating Communist forces who are falling back without resist- aIlce.
 The NAtionalists also increased pressure on Yunki (Kirin) by un- expectedly sweeping in from the rear to capture Szupingkai and the rail hub of Hailung.

Swift Calls SovietHuIt
 Knight Proposes
 UIfimofum to Reds

waterville, Me, May N-CUP)- Superior Judge John E. Swift of Massachusetts proposes that a na- tional referendum be held to de- termine whether the American peo- pie are willing to issue an ultimatum to Russia.
 Judge Swift told the Maine Knights of Columbus last night that the proposed ultimatum would order Premier Stalin to withdraw his forces in Europe and Asia where elections disclose that their presence defies the peoples will"
 Should the Russians ignore such an ultimatum, Judge Swift proposed that American forces "demolish ev- cry Communist military establish ment and every Communist soldier" where they are gathered in groups large enough ito prolong the Rus sian menace"
 That's the simple program" said Judge Swift, who is supreme knight of the Knights of Columbus. ITO the sceptical or the faint-hearted we present the militant challenge" !"
 A speech made by Judge Swift be- fore the Knights of Columbus at Boston Jan. 20 was denounced by the SovietS as anti-Russian. Sub Seqhent Soviet opposition to the choice of Massachusetts as perma- nent UN site was attributed to that speech.

Senote BoIks On President Anti-Lobor Bill
 Possoqe Assured

Washington, May N-UP)-Sen- ate Democratic Leader Alben w. Barkley convened the Senate an hour earlier than usual today and considered a night session to drive through emergency powers asked by President Truman to prevent strikes against the Government.
 Barkley reported after White House conference that settlement of the rail strike and hopes for settlement of the soft coal dispute do not eliminate President Truman'S desire for the sweeping powers he requested in special message to Congress.
 Administration leaders believe they can beat down Senate opposi- tion to the emergency bill by mid- week, particularly if the coal strike continues.
 Nevertheless, MT. Truman's re- quest for extraordinary powers to deal with the current strike situa- ton faced an uphill battle in the Senate.
 The atmosphere was radically adifferent from that which prevailed in the House, which endorsed the emergency bill, 306 to 13, two hours after the Presidents request.
 But in the Senate, the bill en- countered opposition ranging from complete disagreement to demands for toning down some of the harsher provisions.
 The House-approved bill, in line with MT. Truman's request, was drafted as purely an emergency measure and applicable only in cases where the Government has seized an essential industry whose operation is vital to the national AAonO4f1y

Poles, Reds
 Evolve Pact

London, May 27-(UP)-Radio Moscow said today that Poland and Russia have reached complete agree tnent on new program for Soviet financial and economic assistance and quoted Polish comment that Americas delay on the loan to Po- land was one reason for the new ar- arrangements.
 Stanislaw Szualbe, vice-preSident of the Polish National Council, was quoted as saying the great mani- festationS of Soviet assistance we are witnessing in the present eco homie year confirm the necessity and fruitfulneSS of deepened eco homie cooperation between our countries"
 Closer cooperation becomes more important for us in connection with the difficulties in establishing eco- homie relations with the Anglo Saxon countries-for instance the question of the Polish loan in the United States" he said.

Spanhs U. S., Rritain M0L0t0u Grinds Anh-Souiet Bloc: Lashes Byrnes
Accuses Western
 Nations of Trying To Threaten Him

London, May 27-(UP)-Foreign Minister V. M. MoloJov acidly de- nounced the United States and Britain today for forming a bloc against Russia and said no self respecting state would submit to the maneuverS used by the Anglo American alliance at Paris.
 Molotov said in Moscow news paper interview it had become clear that the peace offensive publicized in some American circles consists in imposing the will" of United States and Britain upon Russia.
 This appeared a direct slap at Secretary of State James F. Byrnes who told the American people after returning from Paris that American policy was to conduct a peace of- fensive for a fair European settle ment.
 Condemns Byrnes Plan Molotov accused Byrnes of trying to break up Big g. coordination and attempting to utilize methods of pressure, threats and intin1ida' tion" against the Soviet Union.
 He condemned Byrnes' suggestion of possibly putting the peace treat ies before the United Nations, which he said was not concerned with the question.
 MQotov also accused Byrnes ot making a somewhat inaccurate statement" when he said at Paris that Premier Stalin had agreed in principle to the American proposal for a 25-year Big 4" treaty on disarmament.
 In still another attack on ByrneS Paris proposals, Molotov said that any attempt to force the American plan for a 21-nation full dress peace conference before the Big 4" had drafted elaborate treaties with agreement on all basic points might lead to a deterioration in friendly relations among the great powers.

 CLIO. Members
 Urged 10 Protest Y Anti-Lobor Act

The labor bill asked by President Truman and passed by the House of Representatives would place la- bor in involuntary servitude," State C.IO. Secretary John J. Driscoll declared in a prepared statement today.
 In bitter denunciation of the President and the House, MT. DriS- coll charged that they have direct ed the nation toward totalitarian- ism through an irresponsible and Seckless course"
 The union official announced that special meeting of the CI.O.State Political Action Committee will be held in New Haven tomorrow night to plan Q fight against the legisla- tioi1. He urged that all CI.O. mem- bers meantime file immediate pro- tests wsth members of Congress.
 MT. Driscoll's statement:
 President Truman's request for power to place labor in involun- tary servitude, already granted by, the lower house of Congress, confronts the nation with much greater emergency than the rail- road strike. The railroad stgike could have ended at any time merely by granting to railroad employees reasonable changes in the intolerable working rules which characterize the railroads as one of the worst sweat shop in- duStries in America.
 "The President and the House have moved the nation consid- erable distance down the road to- ward totalitarianism. It rests with the Senate to save the coun- try from the worst possible trag- edy in it's economic and political history.
 .'The disposition of the Senate already has been shown as dan gerous by it's rush action on Case Bill provisions, which are less destructive of the democratic rights of workers only in the matter of degree.
 s'In the final analysis, there Is much in this situation for bus iness to be worried about as 7a- bor. Regfmentation never ends with one segment of society. It eventually extends to all Seg- mentS.
 "The C.IyO. urges all it's unions to protest to members of Congress the irresponsible and reckless course which Congress is now fol- lowing. A specially scheduled meeting of the C.I.O. State Poli- tical Action Committee will take place in New Haven tomorrow evening, at which time further
 measures will be planned.

NoW tn Control
 Communists Lead On Czech Ballot

?. PgagAe, May 2g = eUP0 - Almost complete ofd1cial results in Cpecho- |slowakias fFst postwar election re- vsaled today that the Communists thawe become, the strongest party in the country and, in combination with lesser MarxiSt groups, may have won control of the 300-Seat Parliament.
 The Communists scored very heavy gains in Bohemia and Mora via, winning 40 percent of the total vote cast in those provinces and more than offsetting & conservative victory in the smaller province Of Slovakia.
 Results showed the country al- most evenly divided into Marxist and anti -MarxiSt camps. Final de- termination of parliamentary seats was delayed by a complicated sys- tenn of proportional representation, but unofficial calculations indicat- ed the Marxist faction may have won a four-seat majoriy.
 More than 1000. 900 persons cast ballots Sunday in an orderly elec- tion.
 The coalition government headed by President Edward Benes has virtually certain to continue in of- flee, with some possible changes in personnel, regardless of the final parliamentary lineup. The sharp ieftward swing will strengthen Com- munist influence on the Czech con- stitution to be drawn up by the new Parliament.
 Survivors of the martyred town of Lidice voted together, although the town has been wiped out. They went strongly Communist, giving the Communists 95 of the lN votes A&
