LONDON (AP) - Hugh Gaitskell retained leadership ot the
divided Labor party Thursday defeating Harold Wilson, 166 votes
to 81.
The result of the balloting,
among Labor MPs was announced at a party caucus.
The tally, in progress all weck,
climaxed months of intramural
battling, largely ovcr thc issue of
nuclear weapons and the Western
alliance.
Gaitskell remained firm n support of NATO.
Despite the defeat left wing ad-
pocates of nuclear disarmament
who backed Wilson said they will
continue to fight Gaitskel's defence policies.
The Gaitskell forces saw the
vote as complete vindication of
the belief in collective security
within NATO. The party conference at Scarborough last month
adopted resolutions urging British- unilaterally to scrap nuclear
party's members in the House of
Commons, pledged to support of
the Western defences, could be
compelled by the party convention to completely shift their pol
icy. Gaitskell said the} could not.
In challenging Gaitskell, Wilson
had the backing of those who
maintained the caucus.at Scarborough spoke the true party policy.
TRADITIONAL ELECTION
Traditionally, the Laboi party
members in Parliament elect the
party leaders—not the convention
delegates. Of the 154 members,
there were seven abstentions in
the' balloting.
Gaitskell,.54, has'led the parliamentary Labor party since December 1955, when he succeeded
Lord Attlee. The 81 votes for Wil
son—more than he nad been expected to get—demonstrated that
Gaitskell's perch is not secure.
Wilson, like Gaitskell, believes
Britain must   remain   loyal
NATO. But he claims Gaitskell is
dividing rather than uniting the
party by his tactics.   *

An agreement would bc sought
with the unemployment insurance commission to help in the
training program which would
operate the year round but particularly during the winter
months when many laborers are
out of work.
Mr. Lesage was speaking to a
delegation of the Quebec Union
of Municipalities which presented
the provincial government with a
brief.
He said the municipalities were
closest to the people and their
problems. Full collaboration was
needed from municipalities in
solving unemployment problems.

Kennedy Woos Vote In Arid Southwest
By DAVID ROWNTREE
Canadian Press Staff Writer
NEW YORK (CP) - Senator
Kennedy, stung by Vice-Presi
dent Nixon's charge that he was
telling a "bare-faced He" in say-!
ing the Republican party opposed
social security, delivered a biting
reply Thursday.
Speaking in Alburquerque, N.
M.,' Kennedy said:
"Having seen him close up,
and made up, in our television
debates, ,1 would never accuse
Mr. Nixon of being bare-faced.
"But 1 think the American
people next Tuesday can best de-!
termine who is lying and who is
telling the truth."
The Democratic candidate
rushed through Arizona New
Mexico and Texas, Nixon car
ried his campaign to South Carolina and Texas, still flushed by |
the warmth of Wednesday's New
York reception.
SEEKS SOUTHERN VOTE
Meeting with southern political I
leaders in Columbia, S.C, Nixon'
said,his appearance in the state
was designed not only to win
South Carolina's eight electoral
votes, but to carry the entire region.
South Carolina has not voted
for a republican president since
1876. The Democratic party's
campaign pledges to Negroes and
Kennedy's Roman Catholicish
could swing the state to Nixon,
many observers predict. -
Evangelist Billy Graham was
among those who joined the vice
president on the speaking platform Thursday.'
Nixon said Kennedy's criticisms of President Eisenhower
and his charge that the' U.S
needs to be stronger economically, have created resentment.
Kennedy flew into Phoenix,
Ariz., from California al 3 o'clock
Thursday morning. Even so, several thousand supporters were on
hand at the airport and along the
streets to greet him.
ANOTHER BIG TURNOUT
When another 5,000 turned out
to see him later in the day, Ken-
kedy said Arizona's Senator
Barry Goldwater had wired Governor Nelson Rockefeller that the
state was "in the bag" for the
Republicans.
"Judging from the people who
turned out here, it's a mighty
thin bag."
