election next month in a bid to win emphatic public support for his handling of Britains energy crisis London newspapers reported Sunday The likely date was published as Feb 7 In what appeared to be a leak from government sources all seven Sunday papers printed frontpage stories saying Heath would decide this week whether to send the nation to the polls The consensus was that the embattled Prime Minister would call elections if talks with labor union leaders scheduled for Monday fail to produce agreement on ending a calami tous slowdown by Britains 280 000 coal miners The Conservative government says the miners slowdown was the prime factor that forced it to order a work week and other measures designed to combat what Heath calls Britains greatest economic crisis since World War II Government officials declined comment on the press reports of a probable early election Heath is not obliged to call an election until June of next year when his fiveyear term is due to expire and there was some speculation that the talk of a February ballot was a bluff On this theory Heath could be hoping that the poll rumors would panic the miners and other restive workers into ending crippling disputes that would be an electoral to their allies in the opposition Labor party Troop Is Off JERUSALEM AP Israel proposed a troop pullback plan for the tense Suez front Sunday hat appeared
