"Everything for the Lawn and Garden" 923 Pershing Drive Silver Spring, Maryland SHepherd 6767 Churchill Will Make New Effort Tuesday to Oust Labor Cabinet ly Ht* Auecla*«d Ργμι LONDON, Oct. 86. —Winston Churchill will make his fourth &t 1 tempt Tuesday to overthrow the Labor government by Parliamentry ! action. And the Labor government also faces a new test of strength late next week in municipal elections. Although the voting will be for bor ough councilmen the real issue will be national—how the people feel about their labor leadership. In his parliamentary move, Mr. Churchill will argue the Conserva tive motjon accusing the govern ment of Jacking "the national lead ership, the administrative compe tence, or the measures necessary to meet the economic crisis." Approval of this adrpendment to the "speech from the throne" by King George woulcr amount to a vote of no confidence and force Prime Minister Attlee's government to re sign. In view of the overwhelming Labor majority, there was little lilrvHhnnd t.hls would hannen. Torrid Debate Scheduled. ■Nevertheless, with the third ses sion of the present Parliament only five days old, battle lines were drawn for torrid debate. Mr. Churchill has tried to over throw the Labor government three times by parliamentary action since it came into power in July, 1945. On November 27. 1945, a Churchill sponsored vote of censure on recon version lost 381 to 197. On March 12, 1947, he was refused, 374 to 198, a vote of no confidence on the gov ernment's economic white paper. Last August 8 he sought to table the crisis bill in a move that would have amounted to a vote of censure. He met defeat 251 to 148. Curb on Lords Is Issue. The most controversial of Labor's proposals for this session, the pro posed curb in the power of the House of Lords, is not mentioned specifically in the opposition mo tion but has stirred a storm of con flict. "·» Mr. Churchill has described m "* deliberate act of social aggression" the proposal to reduce from two years to one the period the peers may delay enactment of Commons approved legislation. The municipal balloting comes at a time of new cuts in the already skimpy food rations, of a govern ment statement that the nation must scale down its critically needed housing program, of a dollar-saving ban on United States tobacco im ports and of generally deepening "austerity." Both parties gave close attention to recent municipal elections In France and Norway, both of which showed trends toward the right. L* bo rite· gee Some Loues I Labor leaders here privately ac j knowledged they may take some j ι losses. They said they doubted, i j however, whether their opponents j j could make inroads into "the hard : core" of Labor voters, numbering ! some 7,000,000 to 8,000,000 who are ί supposed to be steadfast party sup ; porters. Conservative party sources said they expected big gains. In parliamentary by-elections since 1845, when Labor won its big majority in the House of Commons, the Labor party has remained un shaken. In the event of a full-scale Labor rout In the borough voting, which appeared unlikely, nothing In the British constitution would compel I the National government to resign, ι A rout followed by other evidence of important lose of support might do so. however, in the view of both : sides. Voting Next Saturday. ί Voters will ballot next Saturday in the 83 "county boroughs" and 309 "noncounty boroughs" of Eng land and Wales, and the following Tuesday in the 24 "large burghs" and 168 "small burghs" of Scotland. These units of Britain's complex system of local government embrace about 15.000.000 of the nation'· 31, 000,000 voters. The other 6,000,000, I among whom anti-Laborite farming people are a majority, are concen ; trated in "urban districts." "rural ! districts," "parish councils," and "parish meetings," which do not : vote at this time.. Prime Minister Attlee claimed I "another great advance" for the Labor party after the last munici pal elections a year ago before the economic crisis developed. The party scored a net gain of 159 new municipal seats. The Conservatives registered a net gain of four. The alignment after the 1946 elections was: Labor, 1,041 seats; Conservatives, 647; Liberals, 96; Communists, one; Independents, 534. Many of those running as Inde pendents were Conservative party members. The Conservatives ap pealed to fellow members this year to run under a Conservative rather than an Independent label.
