Communists Narrow Lead In Elections
Prague, May 28. Communists and other extrem? Left Wing Parties won a narrow majority of less than one per vent based last night on the almost complete returns from the hotly-
Parlia contested Czechoslovak mentary elections.
Czech election figures for the elections from Bohemin and Mara via were Communists 2,205,058; National Socialists 1,208,017: People's Party 1,310,920 and So- einl Democrats 856,771., In Slova
kia, Democrats 088,275; Cuni-
munists 490,257; Freedom Party 670.675 and Labour Party 19,985
The Communists already held the Cabinet Ministries of In- formation, Interior (Police) andl Education and they may now demand greater representation.
Under the proportional re- presentation system, neutral servers estimated that the 30 scats in the National Assembly would total approximately 162 for the extreme left, and 148 for the moderate leftista-Assoclated Press.

A drive along 100 miles of const from Bray Head, Wick- low, to Carnnore Foint,' Wex- ford, reveals this scene:
At Rosslare the cliff road has almost entirely disappeared, the golf links have suffered and the public reservoir is threatened.
At Hayealand the sca is with In 200 yards of the main Ros- lare-Dublin railroad, whereas 30 years ago the line was nearly half a mile from the cliff at this point.
