LONDON, (P)-Britain's newly elected Parliament opened today, and Conservatives, in a cocky mood, shouted to their Labor party opponents to ''cheer up"

Coal Strike IdIes Over Half Million

PITTSBURGH, (PO - The con tinuing strike of the soft coal min CTS hammered mercilessly at the nations economy yesterday as steel plants idled additional thou sands.
 The idle total resulting from the three-Week general walkout is now well past the half million mark.
 That includes 372,OOO striking United Mine Workers members and about 184,0O0 railroad, steel and automobile workers.
 The miners showed no sign of weakening in their determination that there shall be no work with out a contract.
 A high government official in Washington yesterday expressed a personal opinion that unless the strike was settled by last night, federal seizure of the mines ap- pears inevitable. He asked that he not be named.
 But there was no sign at the White House that President Tru- man was preparing to ask for any such measure.
 Contract negotiations between Lewis and the operators recessed after a one-hour session Monday.
 The UNIV is busy fighting con- tempt charges in Washington's federal district court. The union pleaded innocent to the charges growing out of the miners refusal to obey a court order to go back to work.
 Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corpora ton said supplies are so low it is reducing steel making in the Pittsburgh district from 96 to 53 per cent of capacity. Unestimated thousands will be laid off.
 The American Iron and Steel institute said seel operations in the nation are scheduled at 73.7 per cent of capacity this week the lowest figure since the week of November 14 last.

News of the World At 4 Glance ---
Tuesday. February 28, 1850
By The Associated Press)


 Fire broke out under the an- cient British House of Commons today on the eve of assembly of newly elected members. It was put out in 10 minutes. There was little damage.
 While fire brigades rushed to action, Prime Minister Clemente Attlee was preparing to announce his revamped cabinet. He inform ed King George VI last night that despite his slim majority won in last Thursdays election he would carry on the government.
 Observers generally predicted the Labor government sooner or later would be forced to resign and new elections held. Press forecasts said the elections might come in June and not later than the autumn.
 It was believed that to stay in power as a caretaker government, Labor might have to ShelVe its na- tionalization program. This move would be forced by the powerful Conservative opposition.
 The first real test will come in the debate on the speech from the throne which outlines government policy. The speech will be read by the King next Monday. If the Att lee government passes that test it next meets the budget debate. Conservatives won many votes in the last election by promising a cut in taxes.
 Deputy Prime Minister Herbert Morrison who managed Labor's election campaign told a meeting last night the new election may "come sooner rather than later" He urged LaboriteS to keep the election machinery ready for use at any moment.
 Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek is back in the saddle as President of Nationalist China. He "retired' as President and commander-in- chief of Nationalist forces over a year ago. He announced he is re- turning to both jobs.
 He is replacing acting president Ii Tsung-Jean who is recouperat- ing in a New York hospital.
 All that is left of Nationalist China now is the island of For moSa and some other islands off the Chinese coast. An invasion by Chinese communists is imminent.
 The nationalist warned that all ships trading with the commun- ists are subject to air assault. Two American ships were bombed and strafed by unidentified planes suspected of being Nationalist yesterday. The bombs missed. One sailor was injured. The national ists have declared a blockade of all communist Chinese ports.
