And, if that course fails, he said, the Democrats "will win with that program" in 1950 and again in 1952. In fighting words, he sounded the keynote for Democratic ora ures to raise the country's income to $300,000,000,000 annually and establish "an income level in the country of $4,000 per family rJer year" which, he said, "is not a pipe dream." 2.

It' was the first open demand from an important segment of the Labor party for a "snap'' election and set members of parliament wondering whether their seats may be at stake within a matter of weeks. Political sources said Prime Minister Attlee, however, opposes an election oeiore next spring.

Left-wingers within his party appeared to be pressing for an election now on the grounds that delay might cast them votes if a rise in living costs develops as a result of Shortly before yesterday's commons vote, a motion of no confidence which would have forced Britain into an immediate election was proposed by Conservative leader Winston Churchill- It was defeated 350 to 212.

During the intervening year it tried to weave around Weir jerg a network of evidence to support its demands that he be brot to trial on perjury charges.
