Cain Delays Decision
On Race Against Magnuson

Senator Cain, Republican, of
Washington said today he will
make no decision for months on
whether to resign his seat and
oppose Senator Magnuson, Demo-
crat, in the States senatorial race
next year. Senator Gains term
does not expire until 1858.
The strategy back of getting
Senator Cain to resign and run
against Senator Magnuson would
be aimed at obtaining both Senate
seats from Washington for the
Republicans. Washington has a
Republican Governor, Arthur B
Langlie, who could appoint a men,
ber of his party to Senator Gains
unexpired term.
. Those suggesting it argue that
Senator Cain could make better
race against Senator Magnuson
than could any other Republican
Senator Cain said in an inter-
view:
Friendship and common sense
necessarily dictate that I give the
proposal my earnest consideration
but it will be several months be-
fore I reach a decision for must

"In the meantime, the Wash.
ington State Republican Party
may develop one or more candi.

Two weekend statements by a

for tighter curbs on spies-noW
that Russia has had an atomic

The arguments were advanced

pionage cases, and Senator
O'Conor. Democrat. of Maryland

Laborite Government
Will Stake lis Life
On Vote This Week
Parliament Reconvenes
Tomorrow for Three-Duy
Debote on Pound Crisis
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Sept. 26.-Britain's
Labor government decided today
to stake its life on a motion asking
Parliament to approve devaluation
of the pound.
Parliament reconvenes tomorrow
in an emergency three-day de-
bate on the crisis raised by the
cheapening of the pound from
$4.03 to $3.50 eight days ago.
If the Labor Party's motion
should fail in the House Of Com
mons, Prime Minister Attlee would
be forced to disband Parliament
and call an immediate general
election. The government has a
go per cent majority in the House,
and if unrMy Laborites can be
whipped into line, the govern
ment will win out. Some Labor
leaders worried that some of the
leftists in their ranks might
abstain from voting and cut down
the labor margin.
Copy Sent to Churchill.
The Labor leaders prepared a
motion today asking the House
to call on the British people for
their full Cooperation with the
government" in digging out of a
desperate trade deficit. 1t prom
ised the government would con-
tinue maintaining full employ
ment and safeguarding the social
services" These services include
food subsidies, free milk for school
children, old-age pensions, medi-
cal treatment and other welfare
measures which are popular with
a large section of the voters.
The motion gave no indication
that the government plans any
economies other than a S. per
cent cut in administration costs
asked by the chancellor of the
exchequer, Sir Stafford Cripps,
Britain's austerity car.
A copy of the motion was sent
to Winston Churchill, Conserva-
tive leader. who planned to discuss
it in private tonight with his tory
chiefs. MIR. Attlee, meanwhile,
called a Labor caucus for tomor-
row morning, in advance of Parlia-
ment's opening, to explain the
governments problems to Laborite
members of the House.
Beginning of Crisis Week.
1t was the beginning of crisis
week for the Labor government.
Top developments will be: A
three-day Parliament debate on
the drastic devaluation of the
pound. Delicate negotiations with
trade union leaders fearful that
cheaper money will lead to higher
prices and strikes for higher
wages.
In the week since Britain cut
the value of her money. rumors
have mushroomed that growing
labor unrest may force Britain's
Socialist rulers into an election
they fear and don't want.
Mr.. Attlee's five-year term has
10 more months to run. But under
the British parliamentary system
