On the basis of 567 available re- the house of commons as a result of the election was as follows: Conservatives 463; National Lib- erals 65; Labor opposition 49; Nation- al Labor Independents 13; Independ- ents 3; Communists 0; New party 0; Lloyd George Liberals 4. The potential total in support of the National government thus was 541, opposition 49. Tabulation of the popular vote gave the following figures this afternoon: Conservatives 6,155,467; Labor op- Position 3,495,612; National Labor 208,278; National Liberals 93,525; others 128,988. So large a majority has not gone to a party since 1832—just a century ago—when the liberals had 370 seats in the house.

David Lloyd George, liberal; Stan- iey Baldwin, conservative chief; Nancy Lady Astor, the American- born M. P., and eight other women, including Miss Megan Lloyd George, daughter of David Lloyd George, were elected. Malcolm MacDonald, son of the prime minister and a national labor | candidate and Winston Churchill, : running as a conservative, were elected. The vote was the answer of Brit- ain’s 30,000,000 voters to the prime minister's appeal for a “doctor's man- date” to cure the country’s financial ills. Most of the heads of the labor party went down along with Hender- son, foreign minister in the late la- bor cabinet, one of the founders of the party and its leader after Mac- Donald was repudiated when he formed the national government. ‘The party's sensational gains prob- ably will throw a new set of prob- lems into MacDonald's lap. Strenuous efforts to pass protec- tive tariff legislation were regarded as certain to follow the conservative victory. The results of the election were signalized Wednesday by a burst of enthusiasm on the stock exchange and a general marking up of prices of gilt-edged offerings and indus- trials. MacDonald won by nearly 6,000 votes in Seaham Harbor constitu- ency where the official Labor party tepudiated him a month ago. Running as the national Labor candidate, he defeated the regular Labor party’s nominee and snowed under a communist opponent.

The de- fense testimony, he added, was a “shocking arrayal of perjury.” On the plea that his mother was seriously ill and had not been in- ernment, D'Andrea was granted a two weeks’ stay of execution and pa- roled to his attorney so he could visit his mother unaccompanied by a mar- shal. The attorney guaranteed the ap- pearance of his client in the mar- shal’s office two weeks hence.

He is 58 and the oldest of the trio. He was reminded of sharks. “When I saw this boat,” he said, “I forgot there was such a thing as a shark”
