WASHINGTON , Wl- William V
Bradley said Monday If the Inter
national Longshoremens Assn wins
a collective bargaining election on
the New York waterfront he would
favor affiliating It with John L.
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

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.

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.
'Tne signing of an International
agreement on this question could
be an Important sten on the oath
of the complete banning of atomic
mass destruction wltn the estab
lishment of strict international
control to Insure the fulfilment of
the agreement banning 'the use of
atomic energy for war purposes."
Foreign Minister V, M. Molotov
first handed the Bovlet note to Am
bassador Bohlen, then called In for
eign correspondents and handed
them, copies of the text In Rus
sian. Bonien's text also was In
Russian and lt had to be translat
ed here before transmission.
RED SIDE
-The Mosocr statement sfcerte4
the Soviet Union "has conducted
a consistent struggle for the pro
hibition of atomio weapons and In
addition has worked for reduction
of all other forms of weapons."
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. It complained that Elsen
hower was not willing to harness
atomic power solely for peaceful
purposes. The Moscow declaration
said Elsenhower's proposals meant
that only a small portion of U.S.
atom resources should be DUt aside
for peaceful purposes.
