Conservatives In England
Suffer Big Election Defeat
LONDON m A shattering dc
feat in an election to fill a House
of Commons vacancy cast gloom
today over supporters of Britain's
Conservative government.
. 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

ment to get out" and claimed the
Conservatives have "completely

The booming Communist party

The three things that might
stop them are: a coalition of non

forces, a change of attitude by
President Sukarno or direct inter
