Commons Approval
For Macmillan
By JAMES F. KING
LONDON (AP) -, Prime Minister M«-
millan won approval from the House of Com-
omns Friday night for NAT's summit policies
and the planting of U.S. nuclear missile bases
in Britain. But the smallness of the government's majority—38 votes—fell 20 short of
normal Conservative strength and brought
shouts of "resign" from Labor benches. The
test of strength came after a five-hour debate
in which the Opposition again assailed the
American missiles bases project and the flights
of U.S. bomber patrols over Britain with
H-bomb loads.
