BY RELMAN MORIN
LONDON, Oct. 24.—(AP)—Bri
'mll; election inpaign et o
night focussed on two critical is=
sues —the country’s place in a
world threatened by war, and her
bitterly controversial experiment
in socialism.
Voters from a registered elec
torate of 35,000,000 cast their bai
lots Thursday.
Their choice lies between the
Conservative party led by Winston
Churchill, and the Socialists who
came to power in July, 1945. The
Liberals, standing about midway
between these two in doctrine,
have entered too few candidates to
form a government. They hope
only to constitute a balancing
“third choice” in the next House
of Commons. :
Both big contenders forecast
victory.
The general belief, however, is
that Churchill and the Conserva
tives will come kack to power by
more than 35 parliamentary seats
and possibly by 60 or more,
Conservatives Favored
This belief is based to a large
degree on numerous polls of public
opinion, which unanimously favor
the Conservatives.
In addition, most independent
observers expect a Conservative
victory this time. They look for
the majority of the 2,000,000 or
more liberal votes in most of the
districts where there is no Lib
eral candidate to be cast for
Churchill's party.
Apart from these political tech
nicalities and party maneuverings,
two facts are ominously evident.
One is that Britain has a bad
case of low blood pressure eco
nomically. It's getting worse.
The other is that the bonds be
tween Britain and the United
States are frayed and working
loose. Both sides recognize the
seriousness of this in the struggle
with the Communist world, and in
a world where Britain is encoun
tering new and serious troubles in
areas she once dominated.
On the economic question, every
Briton tends to translate the gen
eral condition into completely per
sonal terms. BN
The housewife knows that
prices are high at the market, de
spite the $1,168,000,000 the gov
ernment puts into food subsidies.
. The average man may or may
not know that much more than
this iz collected in taxes on cigar
ettes and beer. He just knows that
he has to pinch to afford them.
Frustration Stories
Every exasperated businessman
has a story of frustration:
The manufacturer who could
export—and thus earn dollars for
the country—but can’t get a per
mit to expand his plant by a mere
24,000 square feet of floor space.
The middleman who arranged
to exchange British steel for Am
ericen coal—and coal is the key
stone of the British economy—
but was advised that the Socialist
government cculd not buy coal
through a private trader.
The financier with mroney to in
vest as venture capital who gave
up his search when new tax laws
came into operation.
Against these reactions, how=
ever, are the answers of men who
have benefitted from nationalized
medical care and those who say,
“The paycheck is bigger today
than it ‘was under the Torjes.” -

Liquor Poisoning Death
Toll Rises In Atlanta
| ATLANTA, Oct. 24 — (AP) —
| The toll of liquor poisoning deaths
lreached 28 here today—and the
list of dead is expected to grow.
l Twenty-two persons died of
;Methyl Alchohol poisoning at
{Grady Hospital in the wake of
flweekend sales of a mixture of
3wood alcohol and water peddled
|as “good drinking liquor—cheap.”
I six others died in their homes.
| Physicians at the hospital have
| treated more than 100 persons for
the deadly poison, and cases were
still coming in today. Of the two

only a scant chance for recovery.
Twelve negroes accused of ped
dling the potion have been jailed

slaughter. Officers are searching
for an unidentified white man
believed to be the source of supply.
Death struck almost instantly
in some cases; in others no ill
effects were noticed for as much
{as 48 hours.
Most of the victims were neg

Tight Clampdown
On Suez Sector
By FRED ZUSY
CAIRO, Egypt, Oct. 24—(AP)—
Egypt's government sounded stern
warnings against anti-foreign ri
oting today as Britain maintained
her bristling armed defenses along
the seized Suez Canal,
Britain modified her clamp
down on traffic to let 250 oil
trucks go through from Suez to
Cairo, Egyptian officials said. Most
rail traffic in the canal area still
was banned and road traffic moved
under tight restrictions.
Egyptian informants said the oil
frucks were let through after Brit
ish officials of the Shell Oil Com
pany told the British military that
oil installations at Suez would be
damaged if they had to be shut
off because of a distribution stop
page.
Egyptian Police
Strong forces of Egyptian police,
kept on the alert against mobs for
days, fired on unruly crowds in
Alexandria yesterday. They flung
tear gas to break up demonstra
tors who paraded before the Rus
sian legation in Cairo and shouted
“give us arms” to fight the Bri
tish.
Up to mid-day today no resump
tion of rioting was reported.
One demonstrator was reported
killed in Alexandria yesterday.
Interior Minister Faud Serag El
Din Pasha, whose job is to main
tain order in the tense and angry
country, sternly declared the gov
ernment will “take the strongest
measures against these trouble
makers.”
He said he gave orders to the
police to shoot into crowds they
couldn’t break up otherwise. The
government had banned demon
strations after rioting broke out
two weeks ago in the wake of
Egypt’s denuncfation of its treaties
with Britain.
Serag El Din declared many of
the demonstrators were “irrespon
sible and inexperienced” youths
easily influenced by traitors and
criminals.
Ships Barred
An independent Cairo newspa
per, Al Ahram, said today the
government had ordered the pri
vately-operated Suez Canal Com
pany to bar all ships from the
canal unless they had permission
to go through from the Egyptian
Port_s__ap§ Lights Administration.
"W ..of . the .company in
Cairo sald they had no informa
tion on the report and were in
vestigating it. Al Ahram said the
company rejected the request.
The canal is operated by the
Compagnie Universelle Du Canal
Maritime De Suez, the French
firm which built it more than 80
years ago. Britain owns 45 per
cent of the shares in the company,
supplies more Suez traffic than
any other nation, and this week
seized firm military control of
the area around the 104-mile
ditch,
Under an international conven
tion, the canal is supposed to be
open to all nations in peace and
War.
Rebel Stevedores
Continue Strike
NEW YORK, Oct. 24 —(AP)—
T.eaders of rebel stevedores order
ed mass picketing at every pier in
the vast New York port today to
greet the initial peace efforts of
the government’'s top labor trou
ble-shooter.
Clyde M. Mills, the nation’s
leading federal mediator, rushed
here from Washington last night,
with the wildcat dock strike par
alyzing this two-state port and
crippling other Atlantic harbors.
The only apparent break in the
dispute came late yesterday when
strikers agreed to resume work on
Army troop transports. But they
said they still would not handle
military cargo shipping for Korea
and other ports.
home, in the streets and alleys and
in automobiles. One woman was
found dead in a chair on her back
porch. A man told police he
bought a drink on a street corner
and 30 minutes later was admit
ted to Grady Hospital—blind.
As casualties neared epidemic
proportions and the poisonings be
came known generally, the hospi
tal was swamped with patients.
Hospital Supt. Frank Wilson said
about 75 persons who had drunk
bottleg liquor became hysterical
and rushed in with only imagin
ary symptoms of wood /alcohol
poisoning. But more than 100
others showed actual symptoms.
Methyl Alcohol
Methyl alcohol often is used
to “soup up” racing cars. It can
be purchesed in 50-gallon lots
for about $1.75 a gallon,
Citizens were warned to beware
of any liquor except that sold in
legitimate stores.
L. O. Reagin, 54, one of the
negroes rounded up by police, ad
mitted buying 62 gallons of moon
shine from an unidentified white
man and reselling it. When he
learned it was making drinkers
ill. he told officers, he recovered
37 gallons and returned it to the
white man. Police said apparently

Knotty Problem
Of Buffer Zone
To Be Discussed
BY ROBERT TUCKMAN
MUNSAN, Korea, Oct, 24,
— (AP) — Allied and Com
munist negotiators will re
open Korean armistice talks
tomorrow. They will tackle
first the knotty problem of
where to establisfi a buffer
zone,
The five-man delegation
will meet at Panmunjom, a
roadside village six miles
east of Red held Kaesong
where the search for a
cease-fire agreement was
suspended August 23 by the
Reds.
Panmunjom is accessible te each
side without having to travel
through enemy territory. The
tiny town now has the appearance
of an American carnival. Armis
tice activities are housed in cir
cus-like tents. Huge colored bai~
loons and searchlights ring the
conference area to warn war
planes away from the neutral
zone.
Resumption -of the g¢onference
talks was made possible when the
Communists Wednesday ratified
security ground rules drafted by
U. N. and Communist liaison offi
cergs in 12 metings at Panmun
jom since Qct. 10.
~ Rules Approved
The U. N, had approved the
ground rules Monday. e
An Allied liaison officer said a
new dispute cropped up Wednes
~day. The Communists objected to
Allied military policemen at the
entrance of the negotiations tent.
The Communists insisted that the
MPs be stationed on the road about
110 yards away. The liaison officer
said the guards would be posted
at the tent door unless Adm. C.
Turner Joy, chief U. N. negotiator
yields to the Red demand.
Joy and Gen. Nam 11, 38-year
old North Korean, again head the
delegations. There will be two
new men on each. g
If and when the negotiators
agree on a line of demarcation
between thme U. N. and Com
munist armies, they still face
these three tough issues:
1. How the truce is to be super
vised.
2. How to exchange prisoners.
3. What recommendations te
make to their respective govern
ments. This includes the Red de
mand that foreign troops be with=
drawn from Korea. >
Those issues must be settled be
fore there can be an end to the
fighting, No one in official posi
tion at the U. N. advance head
quarters would risk a prediction
on how long it might take to reach
an arnistice. But the general
feeling here was that the new ef
for would be “this time or never.”
