Minister Herbert Morrison anc

Transport House, national head
quarters of the party. Election
results were flashed on a large
screen. The candidates and
others amused themselves by
listening to radio comedy pro-
gram as they waited for the first
returns.
Mr.. Attlee campaigned hard ur
to the late minute. He spent yes
terday, last day of electioneering
in his district until late in the
evening. then knocked off two
hours work at No. 10 Downing
street.
Reads Self to Sleep.
1t was early morning before he
had a hot bath-his wife says
he davies in the tub-and read
himself to sleep with a mystery
story.
Mr.. Churchill settled down last
night in the comfort of his Hyde
Park Gate home to watch the
election results come in.
The wartime Prime Minister had
special machines installed to help
him keep an up-to-the-m minute
check on returns in what prob
ably is his last bid for a return to
power.
For more than an hour and a
half yesterday afternoon Mr..
Churchill and his wife toured his
district. Jaunty, in high
crowned bowler hat, with cigar
and cane. he called at various Con-
servative committee rooms from
which his local campaign was
directed.
Conservative election workers at
Wanstead introduced Churchill to
bulldog wearing a blanket in the
blue and white Conservative colors
and with a label: Vote for
Churchill"
Cheers Greet Results.
Conservative Party workers,
gathered in the battered mid
Victorian building, which is party
headquarters. cheered each cap
ture of a seat from the ruling
Labor Party. But gasps and
groans greeted returns that gave
Labor an early lead.
Only one top leader, Party
Chairman Lord Woolton, was on
hand. Accompanied by his wife,
he supervised a headquarters staff
of a little over 100. A special
wire went to Mr.. Churchill's
home.
Three separate desks manned
by party veterans and analyzing
experts scanned the returns. Re-
suits were posted on a bulletin
board in Lord Woolton's Office.
Colored pins on a wall map indi-
Gated gains and losses. News
papermen we're jammed into a
tiny room where a public address
system gave the returns.

Conservative victories were sig

Flower girls and hawkers of bal

British pubs, unlike bars in most
American States. remained open
during the election. They did not
close until midnight. Clubs and
restaurants got permission to serve
patrons into the wee hours.
AS Labor zoomed into the lead
the expensive night spots dis
pensed mainly liquid cheer. The
crowds, chiefly pro-Labor, grew
more enthusiastic by the hour.
Stay Until After Dawn
The merrymakers found the
proceedings so enjoyable that the
last stragglers didn't desert Gen.
tral London until after dawn.
Labor Party headquarters was
quietly confident. Tory head
quarters staged early celebrations
as Conservative candidates piled
up local victories, but gathering
gloom set in as the Laborites
forged ahead. Hope came back to
life later.
Most of the Tory leaders were
at Winston Churchill's Hyde Park
home, where the results came in
by teletype.
The Liberals. who may be fin
ished as an effective force by
their crushing defeat, were the
quietest of all.

dismissal of the contempt citation
He argued that neither the
union nor its officers had calico
the present strike. Mr.. Hopkins
said that the strike was a volun-
tary refusal of the 10000 miners
to work in the absence OF new
contract with the operators. He
said the miners laid down thei1
tools as individuals and that il
would be in violation of their Con-
stitutional rights for the court tc
compel them to return to work

Government attorneys said there
was no limit to the fines which
the court could levy against the

But there remained the chance
that the union chief and some

Coal Shortage Grows.
The miners, meanwhile, clung
doggedly to their mo contract, nc
work" policy, and the pinch OF
the fuel shortage caused by their
idleness was hurting the Nation s
economy more and more.
Thousands more workers were
laid of in coal-dependent indus
tries. The big steel industry
faced a cut to about 25 per cent
production next week unless the
strike ends.
Demands for White House ac-
ton to restore coal production in
addition to the court breakdown
brought an answer from Presi-
dent Truman that the matter
now rests with the court.
There has been talk of seizing
the mines. but officials close to
the situation said there will be
no new action over the week end.
See Chance of Contract.
Some of the more optimistic of :
f1cials believed that there was a
chance Mr.. Lewis would agree on
a new contract with the mine op-
orators before Monday.

the operators were far from agree

turmoil since the old agreement
expired last June 80.

Truman Swing West
Likely This Spring in
Congressional Drive
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman is expected
to swing westward in late spring
on a stumping tour designed to
strengthen Democratic majorities
in Senate and House-for the
benefit of his Fair Deal program
Ostensibly. the trip will be for
the purpose of dedicating the
giant Grand Coulee Dam project
on the Columbia River. in Eastern
Washington. but Mr.. Truman told
his news conference late yester-
day that if he accepts the invita-
tion to revisit the dam, there are
liable to be some whistle stops on
the route.
The President went to Grand
Coulee on his famous mon
political" trip in June. 1948, that
served as a warm-up for later
campaigning.
Invitation Among Several.
The White House had an
nounced earlier yesterday that
the Western trip was in prospect,
and Mr.. Truman said the Grand
Coulee invitation was among sew
eral he had received.
This trip would precede the
primaries in most States, and in
asmuch as the President has said
that he is keeping out of primary
fights every place but his home
State-Missouri-he would have
to guide his "politicking" accord
ingly. He could feel free to
hammer away without restraint
in territory where there are no
intra- party battles among the
Democrats, but elsewhere. he
could hardly do more than let
the people know that he wants
Democrats on both sides of the
Capitol who agree with his prin-
ciples.
Questioned About Wiley.
He told his conference that he
was hopeful of replacing Repub-
licans with Democrats in several
places when questioned about re-
ports that he wanted to see Sen
ator Wiley. Republican, defeated
in Wisconsin.
Representative Biemiller, Dem
ocrat, of Wisconsin. had quoted
the Presidents reputed views on
Senator Wiley, according to re-
porter.
The President indicated he did
not know that Senator Wiley was
up for reelection.
If the projected Western trip
is undertaken. it seems likely that
it will be in May.
Another broad swing is in sight
after the primaries.
Republicans generally look on
the spring tour as the opening
drive for the congressional cam
paign that will follow a pattern
laid down by Woodrow Wilson and
Franklin D. Roosevelt, who found
it handy to make inspection
trips when ballot was coming up
Recalling that Senator Brewster
Republican, Of Maine, said he
didn't believe that President Tru-
man would have any more luck
than his predecessors in hand
picking congressional favorites.
1.-The American people have al
ways been very allergic to Off
cials who try to arrogate to them
selves the job of picking Office
holders who are selected at the
polls" Senator Brewster said.
He said that Victor Johnston,

torial Campaign Committee which
