Like to Meet
Their Candidates
London, Feb. 21 IP British
voters like to meet their politi
cians lace to face within easy
arguing distance instead of hear
ing them over the radio.,
So that is the way it is here
lots of small meetings of a few
hundred or few thousand persons,
and few radio broadcasts.
Prime minister Clement R. Att
lee used the radio only once in
this general election campaign to
choose a new parliament. Win
ston Churchill also was on the
air only one time.
Broadcasting here is a govern
ment chartered monopoly. To
American ears the programs are
dull for the most-part, but are
livened up occasionally by adult
entertainment in which the actors
Curse if the script requires it or
even mention adultery if the plot
requires.
By agreement among the polit
ical parties radio time for this
campaign was divided up this
way:
Time Divided
The labor and conservative
Darties each got five broadcasts,
.hree of 30 minutes and two of
20 minutes. The liberal party,
somewhat smaller, got one 20
minute broadcast allotment and
two of 10 minutes. Any other
Darty with as many as 50 candi-
dates got one 10 minute allot
ment. All were nation-wide broad
casts. There is no local broadcast
ing here.
Only the communist party
qualified under that latter restric
tion, and they got 10 minutes. The
communists have nearly 100 can
didates, . but probably will be
lucky to hold the two seats they
had in the last parliament. ..
This election campaign began
by legal stipulation . on Feb. 3.
Churchill made his only broad
cast last Friday night. He came
on in mid-evening after a 15 mm
ute news period. There were sev
erai moments of silence, ended by
an announcer exclaiming: "Politi
cal broadcast!" He said it with the
inflection you might use in shout
ing "low bridge" or "measles in
the house." Then Churchill was
announced by name and began
his speech. Prime minister Attlee
. had his Say on the BBC last Sat
urday night.
Both Woo Scotland
Both Attlee and Churchill
spoke in Edinburgh last week.
Both were major campaign
speeches seeking Scotland's fa
vor. Neither was broadcast although
it was there that Churchill utter
ed what now is called his "Edin
burgh declaration" that there
should be a big three conference
among Premier Stalin, President
Truman and the next British
prime minister to end the cold
war.
That slatement was heard
around the world, except in Bri
tain. The British Broadcasting
company did not include it in its
newscast later that evening. It
was deemed to be a political ut
terance and therefore taboo.
The United Press bureau here
called the BBC that night to in
quire why Churchill's plan had
not been mentioned in later news
casts and got the political-utterance
explanation.
Works Bolh Ways
"Suppose it had been the prime
minister making a campaign
speech and he had announced the
meat ration would be raised to
five pounds a week, what would
. you have done then?" the BBC
man was asked.
"I would have fainted," he re
plied. The night Attlee spoke in Edin
burgh the socialist party had
radio broadcasting time allotted
to it, but the prime minister was
not put on the air. Instead the
party's speaker was Peggy Herbi
son, a miner's daughter, who was
a member of the old parliament
and who is running again.
Here it is now two days before
an election as,critical as any in
British history and there hasn't
been a political address on the air
since last Saturday. There won't
be any more, either. All parties
used up their time last week.

Man, 7 Children
Die in Flames
Addison, Mich.,, Feb. 21 IP
Farmer Gerald Beagle and seven
of his nine children burned to
death early today when fire de
stroyed their rickety frame home.
The victims' scorched bodies
were found in the smoldering

flames."

aldine, 14; Barbara, 12; Eloise,
10; Norma, 9; Paul, 6; William, 5,

ond degree burns and cuts and
bruises but would recover.

strong breeze.
"The house was almost gone by
the time we got there," said fire
men Hugh Denni6. "All we could
do was Just stand there and watch
it burn. We didn't have a chance
against the flames."
Dr. Robert Huebmer said Mrs.
Beagle told him at the hospital
('there isn't any use going out
there."
"They're all dead," she sobbed.
"I saw all of them there before I
got out."
Mrs. Beagle stumbled through
four inches of snow and ice to the
Miller home. The temperature
was nine above at the time of the
fire.
She said the fire was caused by
a defective coal furnace, but au
thorities were unable to verify
her statement immediately.

not live with their parents. .
