SCARBOROUGH. England,
Oct. S (AP). The British
Labor Party conference over
rode Party Leader Hugh Cats
kell today and adopted two
resolutions calling for Brit
aims remuneration of nuclear
weapons.
The decisions represented a
severe rebuff for Mr.. Gaitskell
The hard-pressed party lead
er said in speech before the
balloting was taken that he
would not be levered out of his
job by this conference.
Wins Ovation
Mr.. GaitSkell also said he
would not allow the bitter dis
pute between the left and right
wings over nuclear policy to
shatter the party.
He won an ovation from the
emotion charged conference
when he declared:
Some of us will fight and
fight and fight again to save
the party we love. We will
fight to bring this party back
to sanity, honesty and in
tegrity."
The ban-the-bomb idea is
but one of the issues on which
Mr.. Gaitskell, a moderate. diff
fers with the party's left wing.
Still Has Chance
The conference also is to
decide whether it will spurn
American bases and seek a
British withdrawal from NATO
if the party ever gets control
of the British government
again.

The radio of the white
supremacist government pro-
claimed: This is the most cru
cial vote in the history of our
country" Both sides agreed it
probably would be a record poll
Of 80 per cent of the eligible
voters.
The opposition worked hard
to get out a big vote. Prime
Minister Hendrix F. Verwoerd's S
Dutch descended Nationalists
acknowledged a massive vote
might go against a republic,
but they were favored to win.
The Dutch descended. or Afri-
kaners, outnumber voters of
British descent by a ratio Of
SIS to As.
Majority DisenfranchiSed
More than 1.8 million whites
in South Africa and the neigh
boring mandate of Southwest
Africa were eligible to vote.
The nearly IL million non-
whites had no vote.
First results were expected
to be known by tonight.
Mr.. Verwoerd has said that
If there is a majority of as
much as one vote for the plan,
he will consider it a mandate
to submit to Parliament a
measure declaring the country
a republic. His party's major
ity in Parliament would assure
approval.
The bitterly fought, heavily
financed campaign continued
right down to the last with the
press of both sides trading
insults.
English Language newspapers
ran full-page ads depicting Mr..
Verwoerd's government as the
"polecat of the world" a refer

Meanwhile, the makeup issue
continues. According to the AS

said he understood the man

At any rate an NBC spokes-
man said the broadcaSting

to either candidate.

And, according to the ASSo-
ciated Press. ar aide of Mr..
Nixon reports that the makeup
man who is now sick will not be
used for the second debate.
This means, apparently, that
Mr.. Nixon may have to use the
NBC makeup man because Sen
ator Kennedy's aides claim
their man doesn't need makeup
and is well tanned even in Oc-
tober.
1t also is undecided whether
the two candidates will sit
down, then stand up or remain
standing and leaning on lee
terms. This decision may follow
the one on the use of lecterns.
But pinned down firmly is
the decision to do away with

backs to the camera. While
the questionerS will still be
used, they will probably be

In Red Press

MOSCOW, Oct. S (AP).-
The Russian press kept up an
attack today on United Nations
Secretary General Dag Ham
marSkjold. charging he suffers
frAn delusions of grandeur.
Pravda, organ of the Com
munist Party, said:
When we heard Ham
marskjold's speech, it was
difficult to get rid of the i'm
preston that it was not the
secretary general of the inter-
national organization who was
speaking but a plenipotentiary
Of the United States State De-
partment. :"
Trud, the Russian trade
union paper, wrote:
obviously suffering from
meglomaniac tendencies; Ham
marskjold endeavored to con-
vince the delegates that were
he to leave the United Nations,
he would, so to speak, be aban=
doning the U. N. to the whims
of fate"
A home service broadcast by
Radio Moscow for Russian lis
tenerS said Mr.. Hamma'skjold
remains secretary general, and
a very bad one at that"
The Russian radio accused
Mr.. Hammarskjold of a shame
full role in the Congo situation
and said:
"Currying favor with his
masters, the U. S. imperialists,
he made use of the U. N. for
gross interference in the inter-
nal affairs of a young African
state and for plotting against
the lawful government of that
country"
The Russian commentary
said Mr.. Hammarskjold should
have resigned.

Crown for so years. Until a

its own. Bitterness between
the two white factions has
fingered since the Boer War
which ended in 1902.
Mr.. Verwoerd has argued
that a republic. with its own
chief of state replacing the
British monarch as the chief
Of state. would unity the white

Christian and white democ-
racy" in black Africa.
The descendants of the Eng
lish settlers fear it would mean
a Verwoerd dictatorship and
discrimination against their
people and language.
A major campaign issue was
whether South Africa as a re-
public could remain in the
British Commonwealth and
continue to benefit from Com
monwealth preference in trade
as India, Pakistan and Ghana
have.
The Commonwealth has
never expelled a member, but
a member becoming a republic

the Metropolitan Washington

rants, and Charles T. Horsky,

The only opposition to the
bill came from a group of
waterfront businessmen repre-
sented by Harold Robinson.
Mr.. Robinson said boat dealers
and marine proprietors along
Maine avenue would suffer un-
der the redevelopment plan for

boat owners would have a hard
time finding berths.
Mr.. Robinson recommended
instead that the waterfront

to develop the area.
In answer to these protests,
Mr.. Searles said the redevelop-
ment would expand rather than
contract opportunities for wa

owners.
Senator Beall, Republican of

ing. No action on the bill has
been taken in the House.

District School Board mem
bers have set in motion two
studies affecting the academic
programs of the city's high
schools and District Teachers
College.
One study will seek solutions
to the problem of school drop
outs-youngsters who leave
school after reaching the age
of 16, but before graduating.
The other will lead to
tougher admission standards at
the college.
Both came up for discus
sion yesterday at the board
committee meetings. Supt. Carl
F. Hansen also presented a
proposed $63.1 million school
budget for 1872.
The dropout study was
prompted by the proposal OF
DR.. Rowland F. Kinks, chair
man of the boards Legislation
Committee, to raise the COM
pulsory school attendance age
from Is to 18 years to solve
the dropout problem.
At two recent public hear
ingS, experts on juvenile de-
linquency and representatives
of citizen groups were almost
unanimous in their opposition
TO the proposal, which they
termed unworkable and i'm
practical.
Yesterday the other two
members o1 the Legislation
Committee, DR.. Preston A
McLendon and Carl C. Smuck
officially voted down the plan
Both praised DR.. Kinks, how
ever, for bringing the problem
of dropoutS to public atten-
ton.
Mr.. Smuck suggested that DR.
Hansen and his staff undertake
a full study of the dropout
problem and try to come ur
with some specific recommen.
dations for helping the young
sterS involved-either by max
ing them want to stay in schoo
voluntarily or by giving then
special training to make il
easier to get jobs.

president enthusiastically in
dorsed this plan. He suggested
that one possibility would be tt

Federation
PushesVoteon
Urban County
BY JACK KELSO
Star Stan Writer

The Fairfax County Civic
Federation pushed its drive for
approval of an urban county
plan in referendum the fed
Grafton wants held in Novem-
ber.
Some county leaders, among
them Mrs. Anne Wilkins, chair
man of the board of county SUI
pervisors. have warned that a
referendum on the plan would
not get the attention it deserves
during a presidential election.
Federation leaders have be-
gun outlining plans to get the
urban county plan on the bal
lot in November. either by ac-
tion of the board of supervisors
or by citizen petition to the
circuit court.
Federation officers plan to
appear at the supervisors pub
lie hearing on the various forms
of government proposed for the
county's future.
These include the Arlington
County plan which has a built
in annexation ban, and even
tual city status. 1t also has
been suggested the county
could simply expand its sani-
tary district system instead of
adopting the urban county
plan.
After almost two hours of
debate, the federation last night
approved resolution favoring
the urban county plan on
unit rule vote of 80 to 9.
The federation's resolution
favored only the county execu-
tive form of the urban county
plan, which would mean that
supervisors would be elected by
voters from their own districts.
The county manager form,
which was struck from the
resolution, would mean super
vlsors would be elected at large.

Former Stray Now Top Dog

King, just an unwanted stray
dog a year ago, today is the
pride of the Alexandria police
department.
But police figure it will take
more than Sleuthing ability to
find out about his unknown
background.
King is a 90-pound, black
German shepherd who has
helped catch a long list of
criminals since he was donated
to police for their dog-training
program by the Alexandria
Animal Rescue League.
Before he became the city's
first police dog, King had been
put out for adoption with three
Alexandria families, but was
returned to the league in each
instance because he was labeled
too active"
Nothing was known about
his background except that he
lived in poor neighborhood
and spent most of his time at
large on Alexandria streets.
Again a Hero
In the headlines frequently
since he began working for the
police department under the
handling of Pvt. Cecil KeSler,
King became a canine hero
again Wednesday when he sue
cessfully tracked down two
men later charged with armed
robbery in Fairfax County.
1t was the third major case
for him. He has worked on
numerous others.
King is a natural-born
tracker," his proud trainer,
Pvt. Kesler, declared. Its too
bad that a training film
couldn't have been made of the

5 am. when the suspects in
