apply for a number, the Govern

Clement AttIee Resigns
AS Labor Party Leader

LONDON, Dec. 7 (P.-Pipe-
smoking Clement Attlee, the
mild-mannered Socialist who di-
rected creation of Britain's well
fare state. resigned today as
leader of the Labor Party.
A three-cornered fight for the
top post in the British opposition
party appeared shaping up
among Deputy Leader Herbert
Morrison, 81: 49-year-old Hugh
GaitskeIl, and Aneurin Bevan,
So. fiery Welsh leader of the
party's left wing.
Mr.. Bevan was given almost
no chance. however. against Mr..
Morrison or Mr. Gaitskell, both
followers OF Mr.. Attlee's moder-
ate policies. Mr.. Morrison's age
could count against him.
Enthusiastically. the r.
year -old Attlee almost tiptoed
out of the party leadership he
had held for 20 years-a record
in modern British politics.
Lips Culver at Song
He handed in his resignation
at a closed meeting of Labor
members of Parliament which
lasted less than half an hour.
His colleagues saluted him with
For He's a jolly Good Fellow. :"
Mr.. Attlee was ,yisibly moved.
His lips quivered.
Age and Ill health were re-
sponsibIe for his retirement
from the minority leadership in
the House of Commons. The
man who served as Britain's
prime minister from 1945 to 1851
had found direction of the par
tvs opposition to the Conserva-
tive government an increasing
burden in recent months. Labor's
defeat in the general election
may have speeded his decision.

The statement suggested by
Father Meyer read:
In conformity with the teach

nifty of the priesthood and the
dignity of the human person, I
regret the offenses committed in
our community against this
teaching. Henceforth l will &C
cept any priest appointed to give

At a mass meeting members
of the congregation called the
archbishop's letter "a threat"
and said it was up to the peo-
pie" to solve the threat.
Want Segregation Continued
A resolution drawn up by the
group said 1.-The Catholic people
of Belle Chase, Jesuits Bend
and Myrtle Grove are dedicated
to the maintenance of segrega-

in all matters which affect their
families" and that they must
be unyielding against any effort
made to desegregate or impose
any person of the colored race
upon them which would give him
any spiritual, social or personal
contact with members of their
families"
The resolution said the parish

wrongly being associated with

Mystery Blast
In Frankfurt
Kills Is Tenants
Apartments Ruzed
As if by Bomb;
Inquiry Launched

FRANKFURT. Germany. Dec.
Z pa mysterious explosion
destroyed a five-story apartment
house in the center of Frankfurt
at dawn today, killing Is of the
80 sleeping occupants.
German criminal police said
they were investigating the pos
sibility that the terrific blast was
set off by a political maniac.
Among the dead was the Slo-
yak born architect-owner Of the
building.
Police said lesser possibilities
were that a dud aerial bomb
from the war exploded under the
building, that gas seeped from
a city main into the basement.
or that a tenant had unlawfully
tried to tap the nearby gas main.
All Tenants Germans
The apartment house, COM
pleted two weeks ago. had a
coal-fed steam heating system.
Police first suggested gas from
this system was the cause Of the
blast, but later minimized this
theory.
All tenants Of the building
were Germans.
It was the worst disaster In
West Germany's vast postwar re-
building program.
Six hours after the blast shat
tered the five-story building like
q blockbuster bomb. the. dam
aged wall Of an adjoining build
ing threatened to collapse on
$50 German and American res
cue workers. They ran from
the debris but soon resumed
work.
Seven injured PERSONS men
2 women and 2 children--were
rescued from the wreckage. One
"a 12-year-old blond boy. was
carried out on a stretcher after
being buried six hours. A muir.
muir Of Hes still alive" ran
through the crowd Of spectators
One Of the other six injured died
later in a hospital.
The bodies of four men. three
women and child were dug out
by midday.

The new building was occu-
pied by IL families who had

Though some persons were away
at the time. the rest were trapped
in pajamas and nightgowns
when the blast shattered the
building at $40 am.
