Iceland Premier
Seeks toForce
New Election

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, June
q (P.-Premier Olafur Thors
served notice today that his In
dependence Conservative Party,
which wants United States
troops to stay in Iceland, would
challenge the results of the is
land republics parliamentary
elections.
Mr.. Thors' aim appeared to be
to force a new election in the
fall.
The voting Sunday gave al
coalition of the Progressive
and Social Democratic Parties
25 seats in the new 52-memberI
Althing (Parliament). These
parties and the Communists
campaigned on demand that
United States forces be with
drawn from their NATO defense
air base and radar stations in
Iceland. Iceland, although al
NATO member. has no armed
forces. and the American
manned installations are its only
contributions to the alliance.
Mr.. Thors' previously domi-
nant Conservatives won only 19I
seats. Twenty-seven seats are
REQUIRED for formation of al
government.
4 Seats Challenged
The premier said that at the
first session of the new Althing
in about a month his party
would challenge the coalition
parties capture of four seats al
loted by proportional represent
Itation. There are IL such seats
giving extra representation to
upland districts to balance the
more populous Reykjavik dis
ItrictS.
Mr.. Thors said he would
claim the Progressive and So
cial Democratic candidates must
be considered individually for
these four seats, rather than to-
gether. If successful, such a
tactic might prevent any fac
ton from forming a new govern
ment and new elections would
have to be called
1t would reduce the Progress
Sive-Social Democrat coalition
to 81 seats and give the con-
servatives at least %.
Sentiment in Reykjavik is that
new elections must be called to
resolve the situation. The dis
tribution of seats given in the
election results means the new
government would have to be a
coalition. There seems little
chance of a stable one being
formed by the contending
parties.
Record Vote Cast
The completed official count
Iof ballots showed the total vote
was 82,649, the highest in Ice
lands history. About go per cent
Iof the qualified voters went to
the polls.
The Conservatives, with a
popular vote of 35,028, remain
the biggest single party. But on
the issue of ousting the Ameri-
cans, the coalition parties have
Communist support for a ma
Ijority of SO votes.
The Progressives, Social Demo-
Gratis and Reds last March
pushed a resolution through the
Althing demanding United States
forces get out within Is months.
The resolution calls for negotia-
Itions with the United States to
begin by August /.
Official election results showed
the Conservatives won their
heaviest support in Reykjavik and
the Keflavik district, where the
American base is located. The
coalition parties, with their
campaign Cry against foreign
troops on Iceland's soil, did best
in outlying districts where q
foreigner seldom is seen.

Merchants who were asked what
the result would be first ex-
pressed surprise when told Of the
courts action.
The second thoughts were
that no sudden price cutting
in Virginia would result. The
District has no fair trade act.
The fair trade law legalized
retail price fixing. Its effect
prohibited Virginia merchants
from selling certain items at
District prices. Its "nonsigner
clause" legalized contracts be-
tween producer and retailer
governing prices not only for
the signers but for other retail
ers of the manufacturers items
who had notice of the contracts.
Dealers said yesterday that
since the lower court ruled
against the fair trade act, manu.
facturers have not been alert
to enforce the trade contracts.
They were waiting for the re-
suit Of the appeal, which was
decided yesterday.
George B. Burrus, president
of the Peoples Drug Stores, said
he did not believe the courts
action would affect the merchan-
dising situation much. But he
declined to make a definite pre-
diction. Peoples has a dozen or
more stores in Virginia, as well
as many in the District.
David c. Book. executive vice
president of the Alexandria
Chamber of Commerce, said he
presumed merchants there would
be disappointed. I'VE have re-
garded the fair trade law as an
essential means of protection"
he said. THE merchants will be
disappointed.
