Page 6A EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Sunday, Oct. 21, 1962 For Entry in Europe, Conservatives It's Make-or-Break in Upcoming Session of British Parliament By PETER KNOX Of the United Pre International LONDON The U. S. Con gress has just gone home. Britain's Parliament is about to return to work for a ses sion that may well make or break British membership in "Europe" and the conserva tive government as well. The House of Commons re convenes Oct. 25. The session is crucial because within two years of this month Prime Minister Harold MacMillan must call national elections. What he accomplishes in the upcoming parliamentary ses , cioa will be his platform be fore the voters. And what he MUST accom plish is British membership in the : European Common Market, the historic breaking off of Britain's literal and figurative stand-offishness from her neighbors across the Channel. All political portents are for a fighting parliamentary session. The opposition Labor Party has let it be known in ad vance that it plans to attack the Conservative government hard on all fronts, and par- -Vl ' WALTER COMMONS Springfield Educator Kiwanis Club Names Head Walter Commons, superintend ent of Springfield School Dis trict IB, last week was elected president of the Springfield Ki wanis Club for 1963. .

Tree Repair Exhibition Set First-aid for storm-damaged trees will be demonstrated by the Lane County Extension Service in the peach orchard owned by Eugene Chase, Co burg, Road, Monday beginning it 3 p.m. and lasting until dusk. The practice for treating tree Injuries apply to all trees fruit, nut, shade and ornamen tal, according to Duane Hatch, extension agent In horticulture, and Henry Davios, agent In for estry. Recuperation of damaged trees depends on their care repair of split trunks and crotches, scarred trunks, weak ened roots and wounds in the bark. "Prompt treatment," the agents stressed, "will keep many trees from becoming unsightly or dangerous, and may save them from death." Injuries exposing wood must he treated to prevent decay, dis ease and further insect damage, they said. ticularly on lis handling of negotiations to join the Eu ropean Common Market The conservatives, on the other hand, know that to stay in power they must make a bold showing in the months ahead. The alternative is risk of defeat in the general elec tions. In the B.'fO-seat House of Commons the Conservatives hold a commanding majority with 365 members to Labor's 258 and the Liberal Party's seven. Labor Party leader Hugh Gaitskell has managed to achieve In the past month a greater degree of unity in the party on the surface at least than has existed at any time since It was swept from power in 1951. Tipsters are saying at the moment that spring of 1964 is a likely election date. Mac millau, however, will move when he feels the time is best for his party. Public opinion polls this month have indicated that the Conservatives have picked up some support in recent weeks. One recent test gave them about 40 per cent of the elec torate, Labor just over 3D, and the Liberals about 20 , with the rest undecided. This compares with polls about three months ago that showed the three main par tics more or less even. In the months immediately ahead, there will be five by elections to test public opin ion more accurately. All of these are for conservative held scats. Labor is favored to win one of them the Scottish seat of Glasgow Woodside. The others are ex pected to remain in govern ment hands. The burning issues in the new Parliament appear cer tain to be the government's plans to enter Europe, and its handling of the general eco nomic situation. It is the economic issue that is likely to cost Conservatives the Glasgow scat. Unemploy ment is beginning to run high in Scotland nearing the 100,000 mark and working class voters are expected to be out of sympathy with the gov ernment. The Conservative govern ment's popularity slipped last year and early this year when it put the brakes on pay in creases and introduced a cred it squeeze to try v and right the country's weak balance of payment position. Latest figures indicate the economy is running in the black again exporting more than it is importing and the government has been able to relax its tight hold on fi nances a little. But there is still consider able slack in the economy. Both organized labor and busi nessmen have been calling for a greater rate of industrial ex pansion. Labor is sure to try to make as much polticial capital as possible out of the economic issue, and persistent union pressure for higher pay. On the Common Market question, the Labor Party has come down against entry into Europe on the terms MacMil lan's government has been able to obtain so far. The prime minister has staked his whole political life on getting Britain into Eu rope, because he considers this an essential move, po litically and economically, if this country is to continue as a world power.
