officials said today that Russia
had agreed that the Palestine case
should be raised before the United
Nations organization and had
promised to support the Arabs in
such a presentation.
Official Arabic claims of Soviet
support were the first indication
of Soviet reaction to appeals by
the Arabs for Russian aid in op-

Palestine.
The Soviet government was de-
scribed as agreeing with sugges-

placed before the UN Security
Council, with Russian backing for
the Arabs.
There was no immediate word
whether the Soviets themselves
proposed to raise the Palestine
question bfore the Security Coun-

report given to the United Press

WASHINGTON, May 9. (U.P—Pres-
ident Truman said today he was •
contemplating government seizure
of the railroads if necessary to keep
them running. ।
At the same time the President
said in regard to the coal strike:
1. It is slowly approaching the.
tatus id a strike against the govern
ment.
2. He is considering calling in
John L. Lewis, head of the mine
workers union, and the mine oper-
ators for a joint conference.
The President was openly worried
about the coal situation, but pre-
ferred not to discus* it in any detail. j
Seizure Considered
He had little positive information
about the threatened railroad strike
May 18 and what he planned to do
about it, except to say in response
to a question that he did have seiz-
ure under consideration if it took
that to keep the railroads operating.
He was hit by numerous questions
regarding coal and said in essence
that—
He felt he had used his full pow-
ers in an effort to end the strike.
A survey is now in progress con-
cerning what authority Mr. Truman
might hav to end the coal sUika
without the acquiescence of Lewis a
When asked whether he thought
the coal strike had reached the stage
of a strike against the government,
the President thoughtfully, seriously
said the strike was slowly and
steadily approaching that state.
When a reporter sought his opinion
on whether a union should be per- *81
mitted to collect a royalty on pro-
duction. Mr. Truman said he thougnt
the Wagner labor relations act pre-
vented that.
Mr. Truman, in answering ques- -
tion* about the legislative aspect of
his current labor troubles, recalled
that he had asked Congress last
December for a law to set up fact-
finding boards for nationwide dis-
putes and the statutory enactment of
