Efforts To Settle N.Y. City
Stevedores' Strike Fizzle;
Milk Drivers Back At Work
NEW YORK (AP) Federal mediators have aban
doned efforts to end New York's crippling wildcat dock
strike amid claims by insurgent union leaders that the
walkout will spread to still more east coast ports.
The four-man mediation panel returned to Washing
ton last night after top conciliator Clyde M. Mills an
nounced :
"We're giving up. . . . This is a dispute which must be
resolved within the union. This situation is intolerable and
must be ended immediately."

however, for Mr. Truman has
been cold to the idea unless Sta

personal diplomacy at the highest
level a Churchill characteristic
during the war years little if
any early changes in British for
eign policy are expected to come
Irom me conservative victory.
One of the first issues for vital
decision by the new British govern
ment is the Iranian oil crisis. How-
cvr, most American officials do
not see how any British govern
ment can do other than liquidate
the Iranian holdings under Iran's
nationalization law.
Some observers here think the
task may be easier for a Con
servative than a Labor regime be
cause the Conservatives can ac
cuse their predecessors of having
so mishandled the whole affair as
to leave them no alternative.
The worst split between the U.S.
and Britain during the Labor re
gime has been over Far Eastern
policy: Britain recognized Commu
nist China; Uie U. S. refused , to
do so. 1
There is specualalion as to
whether Churchill will try to
change this situation but diplo
matic experts have believed the
development of Britain's policies
will depend more on future events
In the Ear East than on any delib
erate major policy changes by

Churchill was last in the United
States in March, 1949. During a

Liberal Vote
Vital Factor
In Decision
Labor Party Retains
300 Seats In Commons;
Reds Badly Defeated
By R ELM AN MORIN
LONDON lPl Winston
Churchill returned to power In
Britain today. He led his conser
vative party to victory over the
Labor government in desperately-fought
election that rung
down the curtain on six years of
Socialist rule but left the Tories
far short of the House of Com
mons strength they hoped for.
Churchill, just turning 77, wat
assured of a majority, or more
than 113 seats, in the House of
Commons. The exact size of the
Conservative majority will not
be known until a few outlying dis
tricts report next week. But It
will be a slender margin leav
ing possibly 300 seats to Clem
ent R. Attlee's Labor party. This
is not much better than the thin
margin previously held by Att
lee. The result brought to a climax
six years of grim; unrelenting
struggle by political warrior
Churchill against the Socialist doc
trines of the Labor party, which
imposed government control over
much of Britain's industry and pri
vate enterprise.
With returns in from 604 of tha
nation's 625 districts, the Conserv
atives held 310 seats in the House.
Labor had 288 seats, the waning
Liberal party, four, and others,
two.
In percentages, the Conserv
atives had won 48.5 of the total
known popular vole, the Socialists
49.1 and the Liberals 2.4.
Would End Cold War
Churchill was jubilant and
grateful. Speaking to his constiu
ents at Woodford, where he was
reelected to parliament, he said:
"You have given me wonderful
support. It never reached a
higher pinnacle than it did today."
r With the Conservatives back-:it ,
'control, it was certain that Church
ill would be chosen by them to re
sume the post of prime minister.
This is Ihe office he held through
out World War II and lost in Au
gust, 1945, when a Socialist tidal
wave swept his government out of
office.
He told British voters, during
the campaign, that putting an end
to the cold war with the Commu
nist world is "the last prize I seoic
to win." This effort, and the mod
ification of Socialist strictures on
business and industry, undoubtedly
will engage his attentions imme
diately. Eden To Get Former Post
He may then sten out of office In
favor of his closest associate, An
thony Eden, who is reported slated
for his former post of foreign sec
retary. Altlee now becomes the leader of
his majesty's loyal opposition,"
a position held by Churchill for
the last six years.
