President Truman said today he
does not believe there is bit OF
foundation for reports that Gen.
Eisenhower Is about to resign as

service publication said last night
that despite War Department de-

Porty Is Strongest One

U. N. DIPL LOMATS see French elec-

of power. Page AS
BY the Associofsd Press

PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE Com
munists emerged today as the
strongest party in Frances new
fourth republic, but the outcome
OF yesterdays national election
seemed unlikely to bring a strict
ly left-wing 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 popular Republicans
(MRP), Communists and Socialists
which controls the current provis.
ional government. ..~-...-
Prior to the election the Com.
munist party and the MRP eacf
promised II elected to shut out the
other from any new cabinet, but the
election results seemed to have made
this impossible.
May Advance Thorex.
The Communists ousted President
Georges Bidault's MRP from the
legislative lead, winning back the
place they took in the first constit-
uent assembly elected October 81,
1945, and lost in the second elected
last June 2.
On the strength of their gains,
the Communists were in position to
claim the premiership and we're ex-
pected to advance Maurice Thorez
for the post against almost certain
opposition from nearly all other
parties.
Party Secretary Jacques Duclos
said the Communists were ready to
assume all the responsibilities i'm
piled by our great success"
But there seemed little chance
they could form a leftist maj ajority in
the legislature or in a cabinet. Anti
Marxist parties gained, too, while
the Socialists lost heavily. As a re-
suit the MRP remained the possible
spearhead of a powerful anti Com
munist bloc.
10 Seats for Communists.
Interior ministry figures for 582
deputies elected from continental
France, Corsica, Algeria and French
West Africa gave the Communists
ITO seats, the MRP 159, the Socialists
95, the Leftist Rally mainly radical
Socialists So, the Rightists (Repub-
lican Party of Liberty and Gaullist
Union) So and Independents 48.
Thus the Communists and So
cialists, provided they could get to-
gether, would command 265 votes,
while the MRP theoretically could
amass 269 with the Radical Socialists
and Rightists, not taking into &C
count the predominantly Righist
character of many of the inde-
pendents.

Country's Interests
Outlaw Political
Jockeying, He Says
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman declared
today that the impending divi-
sion of governmental control be-
tween the. White House and
Congress threatens serious diff
.culties."
In a 7O0-word statement read
slowly and with emphasis to news
conference, the President declared
that: "Only by the exercise of wis
dom and restraint and the constant
determination to place the interests
Of our country above all other in
terestS, can we meet and solve the
problems ahead of U.s."
1t was the first time that the
President had commented publicly
on Tuesdays election which swept
the Republicans into power in Con-
gress.
Mr.. Truman asserted that issues
will arise unavoidably between the
President and the Congress and
when this occurs we must examine
our respective positions with stern
and critical analysis to exclude any
attempt to tamper with the public
interest in order to achieve personal
or partisan advantage"
Hopes for Reciprocity.
. Asserting that he accepted Tues
days verdict "in the spirit in which
all good citizens accept the result
of any fair election" Mr.. Truman
said that he proposes to cooperate
"in every proper manner" with
Congress and that his hope and
prayer" is for reciprocal co-opera-
ton.
"As President Of the United
States I am guided by a simple
formula" he said, ito do in all cases
from day to day, without regard to
narrow political considerations what
seems to me to be best for the
welfare for all our people"
The search for that welfare, he
continued, must always be based
on progressive concept of Gov
ernment."
The President pointed out the
the change in the complexion Of
Congress does not alter this Gov
ernment's domestic or foreign in
terests or problems, but he placed
particular emphasis on the neces-
sity for maintaining the same BIZ
partisan approach that has charac-
terized this country's international
relationships.
Notes Foreign Comment.
Mr.. Truman has been known to
be concerned over foreign reaction
to the election results and he took
pains to make clear that foreign
policy will continue to be a ma
tional program insofar as the Sec
retary of State and I are con-
cerned." He expressed conviction
that Republicans who have worked
intelligently and comparatively" in
this field will continue to do so.
The President, in seemingly good
spirits, was joking with reporters
as the news conference started as
sembling around his desk, but as
he rose and began to read his state
ment he grew deadly serious.
The Presidents statement made
no direct reference to any plan to

Two Bodies Found
Near Kidnaper's S Car
BY the Associated Press

MOUNT HOLLY, N. j., Nov. Ii
State Police Capt. Walter j. Coughlin
announced today that two bodies
had been found in Lebanon State
Forest not far from the scene where
the car used in the kidnapping of q
soldiers wife had been located.
Capt. Coughlin did not say
whether the bodies were that Of
male or female He said he received
the report at West Trenton State
police headquarters from his men in
the field where they and FBI agents
had been searching for two days.
Mrs. Mary KINNEY, rs, wife Of
Sergt. Glynn F. KINNEY of the
Army Signal Corps, had been kid
naped from the bed of her husband
on September 27.
The FBI said at the time that
the abductor was Chalmers Lau-
baugh, an ex-convict, and that the
kidnap car was a black 1887 Ford
sedan with Ohio license plates. The
car was found abandoned yesterday
in the forest.
Police authorities had advanced
the theory during the all-night
search that Mrs. KINNEY might
have been slain and her body hid
den in the area.
After Laubaugh was convicted Of
white slavery in Washington in
September, 1914, partially through
| testimony given by Mrs. KINNEY,
the woman was freed of perjury
charges and married Sergt. KIM
mey.. She had told her husband,
the FBI said, that she feared Lau-
baugh would harm her.
Mrs. KINNEY formerly was a
Government clerk and waitress here
while Laubaugh lived in the HOO
block of Tenth street NV. at the
time of his arrest on the Mann Act
charges. He was paroled from Lor-
ton Reformatory last June.

President Truman today ad-
vocated an armiStice between
labor and management in his
first public statement since he
junked wage and price controls.
In issuing his decontrol statement
over the week end, the President
noted that labor and management
now hold the key to Americas eco
nomic future.
Wartime curbs on the two groups
were lifted after five years when
Mr.. Truman swept ceilings off all
items except rents, sugar and rice.
And rent increases appeared 'in-
evitable" to some Government Of
ficials.
The subject Of a labor manage
ment truce came up at the Presi-
dents news conference when a re-
porter asked whether he had noted
such proposals.
Mr.. 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.
Rent Rises Asked.
Meanwhile, the Nations apart
ment owners prepared today to
spearhead a drive for Is per cent
increase in rents as businessmen
and consumers began their first
week of nearly uncontrolled economy.
George M. Englar. president Of
the National Apartment Owners
Association, said In Baltimore that
q new formula which would provide
an upward adjustment Of ceilings
promptly" would be presented tc
the association convention In Okla
homa City next week.
In addition to calling for an
across board IS per cent in
crease In rents, the plan would end
ceilings on those properties where
landlords offer the tenants a lease
at the increased level, until April
1948.
Promises Are Hedged.

mediate promises from industry
and business leaders that prices will
be held at reasonable levels-after a
period of adjustment.
