LONDON,
May

(CI)
Great
Britain,
with
its
capital
in
the
grip
of
a
vast
surfa'ce
transportation
strike,
faces
the
prospect
today
of
more
than
half
a
million
coal
miners
leaving
work
in
three
weeks.
With
the
Coronation
less,
than
two
weeks
off
and
the
city
overflowing
witli
visitors,
I-ondon
buses
did
not
stir
out
of
their
garages
today.
Drivers
and
conductors,
numbering
25,0000,
began
to
strike
at
midnight
last
night
with
a
view
to
obtaining
shorter
hours
and
a
slowing
up
of
what
they
describe
as
"killing"
schedules.
The
city's
traffic
snarl
is
duplicated
in
practically
all
of
South
England
where
more
than
100,000
drivers
and
conductors
went
on
strike.
A

j
Ahead
of

April
was
again
a
quiet
month
for
building
in
Prince
Rupert
but,
at
that,
it
exceeded
the

last
year.
Two
permits
were
issued
this
April,
the
value
being
$500
as
against
$320
in

So
far
this
year
building

totals
$5375
as

with
$3380
in
the

of
193G.
The

(CP)
Japan's
two
major
political
parties
Minseito
and
Seiyukai
both
opposing
Premier
Senjure
Hayashi's
government
registered
sweeping
victories
in
early
returns
from
the
most
orderly
election
in
the
Kingdom's
history.
Voting
was
light.
Not
a
single
government
candidate
was
returned
from
Fukushima,
Wakamatsu,
Kainan
and
Matsue
cities.
Whatever
the
outcome,
the
government
hud
announced
that
it
would
retain
power
and
some
observers
believed
that
political
parties
were
doomed
to
extinction
if
the
government
could
not
find
some
compromise
system
for
working
with
the
new
parliament.
