Iceland Parties
Who Would Oust
U.S. Need 2 Seats
REYKJAVIK, Iceland, —Two
parties that campaigned on a joint
platform to get U.S. troops out of
Iceland won 25 seats in Sunday’s
parliamentary elections, only two j
• short of the number required to
form a government. Official re
turns were issued Tuesday.
These parties, the Progressives
and the Soviet Democrats, now
have the task of shopping for oth
er partners in an effort to put
together a coalition commanding
a majority in the 52-seat Althing
(Parliament).
The pro-American Independence
Conservative Party of Premier
Olafur Thors lost ground.
Thors had held power with an
uneasy coalition of Conservatives
and Progressives. Elections were
forced when the progressives
pushed a resolution through the
Althing calling for the removal of
U.S. troops from the big NATO
base at Keflavik.
The elections loomed import
antly in NATO eyes because of
the Keflavik issue, and Western
sources%said a special meeting of
the Atlantic alliance countries
might have to be called to con
sider the situation.
Sources here reported Progres
sive leader Herman Joanasson
was ready to try to form a coali
tion government on the basis that
he had not intended to have the
Americans completely ousted.
These informants said a com
promise was in the works to am
mend the defense treaty. This
would call for a reduction in the
size of the U.S. force and an elim
ination of a source of domestic
friction by payment of an Iceland
duty on all goods imported for
use of base personnel, including
alcohol and cigarets.

► GUATEMALA, GW—President
Carlos Armas put the army in
control of Guatemala yesterday
after demonstrations in which
four students were killed.
The President declared a state
of siege—a modified form of mar
tial law. The army, assuming con
trol, asked the cooperation of the
people to avoid further clashes.
The deaths came last night dur
ing student demonstrations on the
capital’s main street against a
government crackdown on Com
munist agitation. In 'addition to
the dead there were 17 injured.
The police fired submachine
guns and pistols into the ranks of
several hundred students who
were marching toward the gov
ernment palace. About half the
marchers were girls.
•The students were protesting
curtailment of civil liberties un
der a “state of alarm” .imposed by
the President on Sunday.
The government charged the
student? with spreading .Commu
nist propaganda.
Under the state of siege all con
stitutional guarantees were sus
pended for 30 days and military
censorship was imposed. This was
more severe than the state of
alarm.
A curfew was imposed from
9 p.m. to 6 a.m. and military pa
trols took over police activities.
All radio stations were seized
by the government which said its
actions were “necessary to main
tain order because of “Commu
nist agitation.”

When yon keep the crankcase in your car or other
g.kmJiru* engine filled with Heavy Duty RDM Motor OU,
you get extra protection against the main causes of
engine wear and repair Here’* why:
A detergent in "Heavy Duty RDM * prevents deposits
of carbon, gum, and lacquer on cylinders, rings, and
other part* Other txxnpnunds resist oxidation and sludg
ing. prevent corrosion and stop foaming So to get more
miles and more years of service, remember to always
