part in it.

And Orders Election
BY the Associated Press

CAIRO, Mar. 24.-King Farouk
dissolved parliament's Wafdist-
dominated lower house today and
called a new general election
May Is. The royal action was
requested by the cabinet of in
dependent Prime Minister Ahmed
Naguib Hilaly Pasha.
The decree also ordered the
new chamber of deputies to meet
on May 81.
The dissolution did not affect
the Senate, which also is domi-
mated by the anti-British Wafd
faction. There was speculation
however. that the Government
might soon request the King tc
make changes in the senate
membership to remove this Wafc
majority. Only three-fifths o1

be a move to replace Berniece b.

1t still is undecided whether any

Another possibility being dis

Campbell has his staunch sup

Truman and Wilson
Study Alternatives
In Steel Controversy

President Truman and Defense
Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson in Key
West today pondered what to do
about the steel controversy. with
Mr.. Wilson declaring a strike
would have frightful results on
the mobilization program and the
economy as a whole"
Mr.. Wilson, who flew to Mr..
fruman'S vacation spot last night
for a round of conferences, said
he was neither optimistic nor pes
Simistic" about averting a threat
ened strike in the country's key
industry. He said he had several
alternatives" for settling the
trouble that threatens to tie up
the Nations steel mills on April 8.
He brought with him recon-
mendation by the Wage Stabili-
zation Board that CIO Steel
Workers be allowed a three
installment wage increase that
will amount to 1712 cents an hour
by next January / and other bene-
fits. The steel industry has coun-
tered with the estimate that the
wage increases, if granted, will
bring demands for increases in
the price of steel by possibly as
much as $12 a ton.
May Refuse Extension.
AS the Key West conferences
got under way, Senator Maybank.
Democrat, of South Carolina said
Congress may refuse to extend
economic controls if the admins
tration lifts the bars against in
f1ation by allowing wage and price
increases in the steel industry.
Such increases usually are re-
f1ected quickly in many other
parts of the country'S economy.
Senator Maybank told report
ers he would invite Mr.. Wilson
to the Capitol, as soon as he re-
turn from Key West, to explain
the steel situation. The South
Carolinian is chairman of the
Senate Banking Committee and
the Senate-House Defense Pro-
duction Committee which serves
as a sort of watchdog" over the
mobilization and control program.
Imitation Licked, He Says.
81 think Mr.. Truman and Mr.
Wilson had better be very careful
what they decide to do-and II
say that respectfully" Senator
Maybank commented. 1.-The cost
of living has just started going
down, according to the Govern
ment's index. Apparently we
have imitation licked
Mr.. Wilson, on his arrival in
Key West, would not discuss what
alternative" proposals he brought,
but his aides here said nothing
has been decided on steel price
relief.
"I don't know yet how it can
be settled" he remarked. II am
neither pessimistic nor optimistic.
This. is still in the exploratory
stage.
Expects Raise for Others.
"I came down to see the Presi-
dent on a whole series of matters.
Steel is only one of them. On
steel I have a series of plans, a
number of alternatives to discuss.
All I can say is that hope there
will be no strike"
Meanwhile, the New York Times
said that Philip Murray, head Of
the steel workers, expects the half
million union members in steel
fabricating plants to get wage
Increases similar to those recon-
laended by the wage board for
the $4,000 workers in basic steel.
Mr.. Murray could not be reached
in Pittsburgh for comment on
the story.
Negotiations between the union
and steel companies are due to
get under way this week. The talks
with United States Steel Corp, the
ir1dustry's biggest producer, start
Wednesday at Pittsburgh.

Coach Pete Hahn's Nanook bas- ketball team has been working very hard for their coming big two-game series against the Pal mer Moose on Nov. 28 and 29 at the Nome School gym.
 Game time for the high school tilt is 8:15, to be preceded by an exciting preliminary battle at 7 which features the 7th and 9th grade Mustangs against the Fresh men and Sophomores.
 The prices for adults attending the two games is $2.5O, for one game only $1.50. For the children, two games $2.00, for the one game SIPS. Tickets will go on sale at the end of the week.
 The Nanook practices during the last couple of days have been devoted to short scrimmages, re- viewing the plays and working on ball control. Coach Hahn is nov ing George Bell from his old guard position to forward slot in order to take advantage of his height and needed strength on the backboards.

Eisenhower Wins In Landslide of Votes

WOntlnued rom Page One) was hailed in the free worlds capitals as indicating a continu- ation of American policy of re- sisting Communism. The stock market went up.
 Democrats started hunting for jobs, and President Truman sped back to Washington from Miss ouri, possibly to invite the Presi- dent-elect to sit in on policy shap- ing conferences.
 Ike Plans l0-DaY Vacation
 Eisenhower, tired and happy after a strenuous 50,000-mile cam paign, planned a To-day vacation in Augusta, Ga, his first with the Secret Service dogging his heels.
 For Ike, the avalanche of votes which put him in line as the 33rd man to become President, was more of a personal than a party triumph.
 Heavy Absentee Balloting
 There was distinct possibility that heavy absentee balloting might affect the outcome of the House control battle. Winners in four races in Washington State, for instance, might be determined by absentee votes, of which there were an estimated 9O,000. The Senate contest was just as tight.
 In Springfield, H., Stevenson philosophically conceded the vic tory to Eisenhower, called on all Americans to "close ranks and pledged his support to the win ner.
 Eisenhower, wildly cheered when he appeared in a New York hotel ballroom, matched his op- ponent's unity plea, said it was "a day of dedication rather than triumph" and pledged that he never will give short weight to his responsibilities in Washington.
 More Personal Than Party Win
 Tn some respects, EisenhOwer's s was more of a personal than a party victory. Although he helped elect Republican administrations in many states, there was tough sledding for the COP in Senate and House battles and guberna- torial races.
 The generals friend and one of his earliest presidential rooters, Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., con- ceded defeat by his Democratic opponent, Rep. John F. Kennedy in the Massachusetts senatorial race. Republican James P. Rem of Missouri went down to defeat and Sen. Harry Cain of Washing ton lost to Rep. Henry M. Jack son.
 In Ohio, Democratic Gov. Frank Lausche won going away from Charles Taft, brother of the sen ator, despite Eisenhower's hefty majority over Stevenson in the state.
 On the other hand, Eisenhow- CTS surge helped Sens. Joseph R. McCarthy of Wisconsin and Will liam E. Jenner of Indiana get re- elected. Both were prime targets for Democratic attack in the cam paign.

Pan American World Airways recently became he first US commercial airline to buy jet passenger airners. The airline also became the first American air carrier to go outside the United States to buy air liners for regular service.
