Churchill addressed the House of Commons as it moved toward final action on the bill, approved last week in a preliminary vote. Earlier today Parliament’s Laborites in a caucus upheld the Attlee Cabinet’s decisfon to defer nationalization cf the steel industry. Churchill said “a convulsion” in the Labor Party might result in the powers’ falling to “the Minister of | Health (Bevan) or someone else.” B N. E. FISH CO.
