The waning popularity or the Conservative rulers headed by Prime Minister Mncmlllan was pointed- up dramatically in the north England textile city of Rochdale. The Conservatives ran a poor third to both the opposition Labor party and the normally weak Lib' crals. Final returns gave Laborite Jack McCann 22,133 votes, Liberal Ludovic Kennedy 17,603 and Con' servative John Parkinson 9,827. Conservative leaders had been reconciled in advance to loss of the election, but the magnitude of the defeal came as a surprise. In a straight Conservative - Labor fight in 1955, the .Conservative candidate who died recently beat McCann 26,518-24,928. Chiefs Okay School Plan NKW YORK Ml Mayor Rob ert F; 'Wagner and Gov. Averell Harriman have ' agreed on using four existing schools to accommo date problem children In an effort to cut crime In the city's schools. After the mayor and governor conierred for 2Vi hours, Harriman said he is prepared to draw ud supplemental budget orov id ins further state aid, with an eye-to ward buying or leasing facilities for additional slate correctional Institutions. ' The city now has five special schools. The new "specials" would be opened within a month In old buildings now vacant or only par tially used, Wagner said. Two other special schools are planned for use next September. Wagner said the four extra schools would be able to care for tiOO to 800 students. He said It would cost the city about $125,000 to get each of the schools In shape. ' The Board of Education has sus pended 644 students who had been charged with Insubordination or acts of violence. In recent weeks, a number of the city's 900 schools have been the scene of rapes, assaults, stab blngs and delinquency. The Inci dents have involved both Negro and white students. Among other proposals ad vanced nt the conference, Harri man said, was a "work-activity program," whereby pupils would he permitted to work part-time during regular school hours. Harriman said he would veto any measure whicli would change the stalo law requiring compul sory education up to the age of 17. Students included In the mass suspensions last week will gel individual hearings to help decide whether Ihey return to a regujar school, a special school, or an institution. The outcome was no great plum since It too lost ground. Those who previously voted Conservative obviously switched to Kennedy, the Liberal, in protest agnlnst the government, a trend that has been growing in recent special parlia mentary elections. The Rochdale result, said the Conservative Daily Mail, "shows that the intervention of Liberal candidates at the next election may rob them (the Conservatives) of many peats." The Times, nominally independ ent but usually pro-Conservative. said the outcome may force Mac mlllan to ask for "a new general election before the statutory term oi his government ends in I960 British prime ministers tradi tionally "go to the country" for a vote of confidence when it be comes doubtful that their policies command the support of a nation al majority. However, the Con servatives still have firm working control of Commons with 342 members against 280 Laborltes and 5 Liberals and the Torv btrategy has been to hang on in expectancy of an improvement. Although the Conservatives had suffered from diminishing popular support in most of the 31 other by-elections held since 1955, they previously hud lost only one par liamentary scat, in north London a year ago. Labor Party Leader Hugh Gail skoll claimed the Rochdale result yet another signal to the govern ment to get out" and claimed the Conservatives have "completely lost me commence of the people.

If present trends continue to the 1960 general elec tion, many think the Communists can come out on top and take over government leadership.

Indonesia's Communists suffered a crushing defeat, but learned valuable lesson, when they tried to overthrow the government ln 1948. Since then they have been operating peacefully and ef fectively. In the nation's first general elec tion, in 1955, the Communist par ty ran third with more than six million votes, or 16.4 per cenl of Ihe ballots cast. Since then the Reds have made sweeping gains in east and central Java. Communists now have 39 of 257 parliamentary seats. There are three Communists on the National Council, the 45-man advisory board set up under President Su karno's "guided democracy" pro gram. So far they have been kept oi i out of the Cabinet but non-Com munist Indonesians say 4 of the 24 Cabinet members are fellow travelers. One diplomat put it this way "The Communists are way ahead on points, If they play it smart, all they have to do is let the clock run out."
