Split in Labor Party
Gives Churchill Best
Chance in ID Month,
BY the Asseeiated Press

LONDON, April 28.-For the
first time in II months. Winston
Churchill has real hopes of shov.
ing Prime Minister Attlee's Labor
government out of Office.
His lever: A left-wing Laborite
revolt over Britain's arms budget
His tactics: To drive a wedge
into the Labor Party split, shatter-
ing Mr.. Attlee's slim majority OF
five in the House of Commons, and
force general election soon.
Party at Weakest Point.
The feud inside the Labor Party
has brought the party to its weak
est point since it was returned to
power by scant margin in the
general election in February, 1850.
Despite the growing struggle
over the arms budget inside the
party, Mr.. Attlee appears deter
mined to hold on to power as long
as possible. perhaps until next
autumn.
But the aging Churchill, the
Conservative leader. moved rapidly
to exploit the split.
His first move was to toss into
the House of Commons a motion
designed to put the Laborite rebels
in voting dilemma.
What the rebels, led by former
Labor Minister Aneurin Bevin, do
may decide Mr.. Attlee's future.
Mr.. Churchills motion, which
comes up for debate and a vote
next Tuesday, reads:
THAT this House learns with
anxiety that the rearmament pro-
gram. which it approved in Feb
ruary, was based on estimates of
defense production which were not.
accepted by the ministers princi-
pally concerned"

ident Of the Board of Trade, and
John Freeman, parliamentary Sec
retary of the Ministry of Supply ),
quit the government because they
said Britain couldn't fulfill her
planned 3-year. EAT billion ($13,-|
100000, ,000) arms program.
Pledged to Withhold Action.
The three and their left-wingI
supporters inside the party, how
ever, have pledged themselves not
to do anything which might bring
down Mr.. Attlee'S government.
Three important developments
were reported in the party fight
today:
l. The 75o.ooo-strong Scottish
Trades Union Congress, for the
second day running, ignored the
advice Of their pro-governmentI
leaders and, amid cheers, voted
in favor Of policies urged by Mr..
Bevan.
2. The Anaigamated Engineer
ing Union, whose 900, 900 members
play a big part in the nations
arms drive, has called for an
emergency Labor Party confer
ence to consider changes in Brit
aims foreign policies.
3. Chancellor of the Excfequer
Hugh Gaitskell told Labor Party

is neither giving up its Socialism,
nor attacking the nations social

same source said the committee

open basis at Saratoga, N. Y, fol
three years after State police flee
a report destined for the Gov

gambling.
During the New York hearings,
Gov. Dewey was invited to appear
before the committee to discuss
the Saratoga gambling report but
he replied by inviting the COM
mittee to Albany-an invitation
that was not accepted.

Along with the city-by-city
summaries, the report also is ex-
pected to examine the int1ltration
of legitimate business by criminal
elements; summarize what the
committee has learned about the
existence of Malta, the Sicilian
society of killers, and present its
arguments against legalizing
gambling.
The report will list the commit
tees accomplishments, suggest
methods by which the cities car
clean house themselves and rec
ommend nearly a score of changes
in Federal laws.
The report was intended to be
presented to the Senate Monday
but a multitude of last-minute
revisions coupled with printing
difficulties have postponed it's pub
lication to Tuesday. Senator Ke-
fauver and staff members were
Istill making changes last night
and expected to work on it again
today.
Premature Reports Deplored.
Meanwhile, Senator KefauveI
officially took note of the versions
of the report that have already
appeared in various newspapers
He issued a statement deploring
the circulation of what purports
to be the final report" of the COM
mittee.
"The committee report has not
been approved" he announced
"It is even now in the process Of
extensive revision. The committee
staff is making some changes in
emphasis and correcting mad
vertent errors in fact. These err
rors could, if published. result in
libel actions.
I'VE hope that the press will
await the release of the commit
tees actual final report before
making any statements about per-
sons supposed to have been men
toned in a purported draft of the
report"
Sixth Revision Awaited.
A committee source explained
that the report-numbering more
than 200 pages-has now gone
through five revisions and will &c
through a sixth before it is sent
to the Senate. The published ver-
SionS, according to this. source
apparently were drawn from the
first or second drafts of the re-
port.
A call for the committee to go
back to Missouri and investigate

by the court yesterday.
Albizu Campos. Doris Torresola,

charges growing out of the abor-
tive Nationalist revolt last Oc-
tober.
Defense attorneys argued that
the prosecution had failed to pre-
sent proof of their charges of at
tempted murder and illegal pos
session of firearms against the
three.
They also asked that the at
tempted murder charge be re-
duced to assault and battery, then
that a mistrial be declared on the
ground that evidence regarding "a
certain revolt" had been intro
duced by the prosecution. These
petitions also were rejected.
