Lewis' United Mine Workers Un ion. Bradley is president of the ILA which the AFL ousted on grounds It was crime ridden. He made the comment after an hour-long con ference here with Lewis. Such affiliation would make Lewis in effect the labor boss of the New York waterfront as well as head of the powerful coal min ers. NO WORRIES Bradley came out of the .meet ing with Lewis and told reporters "Our financial worries are over" and that Lewis Is supporting his group "very much" In the elec tion Tuesday and Wednesday. Later, speaking for newsreel cameramen, he said he would fa vor affiliating with the miners un ion if the ILA wins waterfront col. lectlve bargaining rights. - - The election is a test between the independent ILA and a new AFL ivOnesnoremens Union. About 25,000 New York harbor dock workers are eligible to vote. Even before the meeting, one of Bradley's union officials had said Lewis had loaned $50,000 to the ILA in its fight with the new AFL union. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, declined to com ment after the meeting with Brad ley, but the two men posed to ether for photographers. Bradley 9alked with newsmen outside Lewis' office. WIN SEEN Bradley predicted his union would win the bargaining election by a 10-1 margin. Asked whether there would be a longshoremen's strike after a court injunction against a strike expires on Christ mas eve, Bradley said that would be up to his union's Atlantic Coast committee to decide. "But we expect to have a Merry Christmas," Bradley added. The conference with Lewis, plus the reported $50,000 loan, strongly indicated that Lewis may be ma neuvering to step in as the labor boss on the New York waterfront by bringing the ILA into his un ion. Bradley was asked whether he had talked with Lewis about af filiating his union with Lewis' UMW. He replied that he had discussed this with Lewis, but added that he had also recently talked sep arately with AFL and CIO officials about a possible affiliation. Bradley said no decision had been made yet on any affiliation. Taking part in the meeting of Lewis and Bradley was A. D. mpnnvi Lewis, brother of the UMW president and head of the UMW's District 50 a UMW branch which organizes miscellaneous workers outside the conl mining Inrfncti-v. Bradley was elected president of the ILA in November after Joseph p Ryan, under Indictment for al leged misappropriation of union funds, steoped down. The union h hsnn rhartred bv the New York State Crime Commission with har boring criminal eiemems on waterfront, nriim. cnirf lip has had a numb er of meetings with Lewis, but did ni Sav how manv or where or when they were held.

KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 21, 195 Price Five Cents 14 Fates Telephone Mil French Fail Ninth Time; Laniel Situs VERSAILLES, Prance p The French Parliament failed again Monday to elect a president of the republic, it was the ninth ballot taken since last Thursday. Premier Joseph Laniel, a wealthy industrialist and the top contender, got 413 votes a drop 01 17 votes irom the eighth ballot, His socialist opponent, Marcel Edmond Naegelen, who has Com munist support, got 365 a drop of 103 votes. Montel, 57, emerged as a last minute candidate, i ceived 103 votes. Montel, 57, Is member of Laniel's independent party from Lyon. Laniel was only 22 votes short of victory on the eighth ballot in the Peoples' Assembly hall of the old palace of French kings, where the National Assembly deputies and senators hpve been trying to name a new president. . The number needed to elect on the ninth ballotr-a majority of the votes cast was 465. Thus Laniel, who has led almost all the way, was 42 votes short Monday. No other French presidential election had ever required more than two ballots. The protracted voting this time resulted from a sharp split, nearly down the po litical middle, in the Parliament. The split promised endless future troubles in the National Assembly at a time of crisis on crisis. Parliamentary leaders grew In creasingly shocked at the bitter i iture of the showdown battle. Laniel's support came almost entirely from the conservative ranks landholders, wealthy indus trialists, and rightist Catholics. Behind Naegelen was an almost solid phalanx of Socialists and Communists, representing nearly all of France's .working, popula tion. Dangling unhappily . between wri-a tliehtlv more than 100 mem bers whose votes could swing in either direction to name tjhe tres- jdent.":. T- - ' ' ' s Throughout last night, the un happy hundred plus a considerable number of the two opposition groups soutrht a compromise can didate who could soften the sharp left-right division. By this morn ing, however, no such acceptable man had been found. KF Air Show Held Success Almost a thousand persons took to the air for free rides Sunday dur ing the air show at the airport.

By RICHARD KASISCHKE MOSCOW Wl The Soviet gov ernment declnred Monday night it is ready and willing to join In "con fidential or dlplomatio talks "with other powers to discuss the har nessing of atomic energy. - The statement was made in a note to the U.S. government de livered Monday night to U.S. Am bassador Charles E. Bohlen. It was in response to President Eisenhower's Dec. 8 speech before the United Nations In which he pro posed a world atomic pool for peaceful purposes. - The Kremlin, note said: 'As to Gen. Elsenhower's state ment on the confidential r ntnin. ' jmatic talks concerning his propos al, uie oovicfc government ioiiow ing consistently Its peace-loving policy, expresses its reading in t&Tte part in such negotiations." s.uuo-word soviet declaration criticized the Eisenhower plan as iiibuiuciein, nowever, stating mat it does not provide a real ban on atomic' and hydrogen weapons. HOPE . The Soviet note expressed hnm that atomic conferences will reach an agreement to lessen the fears of an anxious world. It added: "The Soviet government consid ers that during the course of these conversations there should be ex mined the following proposals of me boviet government: - "The states particlpatta In the agreement, motivated by the de sire to reduce International teiufnn. should take upon themselves the 1 soiemn and unconditional obliga tion not to use the atomic hydro gen weapons of mass destruction.

It added that President Els enhower In his speech also had pleaded for reducing International tension and stated: "This also corresponds to the feelings of the Soviet government which Is continually trying to re duce world tension and improve In ternational relations." The Soviet statement asserted Russia is and has been trying1 to divert atomic energy to peaceful purposes and improve living con ditions.
