Czechs' Red Regime
Halls Vote as Support
For February Coup
by ths Assoeiotsd Prsss

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, June /.
The Czechoslovak Communist
dominated government, which won
reelection by an 89.2 per cent
majority Sunday, unanimously
hailed the vote today as popular
approval Of its February maneuvers
and actions since then.
e. Cabinet ministers issued a series
of statements insisting that the
people now have spoken in favor of
the February revolt in which the
Communists took control Of the gov
eminent. This was development
which even ordinary observers pre-
dicted weeks before the election,
when the handpicked single govern
nent ticket was announced.
Nearly II per cent Of the voters
were recorded as casting blank
(opposition3 ballots despite q lack Of
secrecy surrounding the actions Of
voters. They cast their ballots and
threw away the tsll-tale discard In
WaICQe0 waste DaSketS.
... Opponents Face Check.
The number Of mutilated ballots
was not announced.
In at least one election place the
commission was instructed to count
all empty envelopes containing pho
tographs of President Eduard Benes
as votes cast in favor of the gov
ernment.
This was a day Of sober second
thought for those who voted the
white protest ballots with the
knowledge their identities might be
known or checked.
But after all the campaign threats
against potential white ballot voters
as traitors, the press today gave
. them only fieeting attention.
Some Czech political observers
speculated on whether President
Benes will 60 along with Premier
Klement Gottwald's government or
resign.
Genes May Resign.
Two reasons have been suggested
for supposing the 64-year-old Presi-
dent may quit. He Is represented
as having been opposed to the single
ticket election, and is known to be
against signing the new Czech con-
stitution adopted by the Commun-
ist-led Parliament May 9. His sig
nature Is required.
Men who have been close to Mr.
Benes generally believe, as reported
last week in London, that he will
resign and that grave Ill health will
be given as the reason. He has
been suffering from hardening Of the
arteries since last summer.
The Minister of Interior said the
total vote Sunday was 7,204,256 out
of . registration Of 8,005,887. The
Communicated National Front got
6,429,145, the minister said. A total
Of 806,041 voters did not cast bal
lots or had their ballots declared
invalid.
The election report showed that
blank protest ballots ran as high
as 80 per cent in some localities.
Other areas voted as high as 96 to
100 per cent for the National Front
ticket, according to the report.

Senate May Increase
Funds

Flathead valley citizens gener-
ally hoped this week that the In
tied States senate would be some
what more liberal than the house
of representatives which Friday
approved SS,1OO,OOO for the Hun
cry Horse project.
A changed payment structure
in the building of the dam results
in even the S9,s50,00O recommend
ed by President Truman in his
January II budget message as
being somewhat less than now
needed.
This does not mean that the cost
of the S100,O00,OOO dam, which
will be the worlds fourth largest
built of concrete, is increasing,
but rather that progress paymen S
are specified by such firms as AL
lis Chalmers who offered the low
bid on March 81 of S2,2S5, 900 to
build the four 100000 turbines
and governors, and on April q
asked S3,854,000 for the four 75,-
900 kva generators.
Before the war, these suppliers
were paid when they finished 4
contract; postwar conversion aud
the tax structure makes it diff
cult for even large suppliers t.
wait several years for payment a.
they did formerly.
Hungry Horse is the first big
postwar bureau of reclamation
project.
Change notice No. 1 in the prime
contractors specifications, datec
March 8, 1913, also provides fol
a down payment of up to $780,,
900 to the prime contractor at the
time he sets up his concrete pro
