BRITAIN'S INDUSTRIAL CRISIS

Eden Being Forced To Walk A Tight-Rope

London, June 3.

Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden was walking on a tight-rope between Labour leaders and right-wing members of his own Conservative Party today as Britain's nationwide railway strike went into its sixth straight day.

.

On the Labour front, Sir Anthony must avoid antagonising the 450,000-member National Union of Railwaymen (NUR) into joining the walkout. The NUR has so far opposed the strike, which was set off last Sunday when the 67,000-man Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen (ASLEF) walked out in support of a claim that their wage level had not kept pace with NUR wage boosts.

.

A misstep by the Premier could also throw the weight of the London bus drivers and conductors union into the strike.

Displaced Korean POWS

Strong Accusations Against India

Seoul,, June 3.

The South Korean government today demanded that the Indian government immediately permit South Korean officials to interview non-repatriate Korean prisoners of war in India to "ascertain their real wishes in the matter of residence and determine the nature of Indian pressures and pro-Communist tactics" in handling them.
