London. Abr. soup Prime
Minister Winston Churchilrs war
government suffered defeats today
in two by-elections for seats in
the House of Commons.
The defeats were political
sensation, coming after a previous
government by-election defeat. and
Conservative party chieftains were
urgently concerned, especially be-
cause rank and file labor party
men are demanding an end OF the
political truce with the government
Conservative party.
Government anxiety was in
creased because several doubtful
by-elections are pending.
Political experts said the defeat
of the government candidates in
two districts in one day was more
a popular revolt against the Con-
servatiye-Labor coalition than
against Churchill personally.
But they added that If the tide
continued the cabinet might be
reconstructed again and that IL
rank and file Labor party men
continued their revolt against the
truce there might be an extra
ordinary political upheaval in the
next few months.
Both successful candidates to-
day had been purged from the
