Early Results Optimistic
For Churchill's Return
LONDON, Friday, Oct- 26---(W)--Preliminary tabulations
from the national elections ,pointed to the downfall of the
government and the return of Winston Churchill to the
Ministry before his 77th birthday.
Churchill's Conservatives, o
ousted LaboriteS from four seats
Another Labor seat fell to the
Liberal party, third strongest in
Britain.
Churchill Likely to Win
With 505 seats arid some of the
strongest Conservative districts
still to be heard from, it seemed
likely Churchill would , replace
Clement R. Attlee as Piimt: Min
ister.
The 120 districts first reporting
gave Labor 66 seats in the House
of Commons, the Conservatives
53 and the Liberals 1. Labor
strength, always is most evident
in the early counting.
A total of _ 624 seats were at
stake. Most of the' first 100 dis
tricts.reporting went as they did
in 1950, even though many Labor
candidates .won by reduced ma
jorities over last year's figures.
And the first returns showed the
Conservatives taking two seats
that belonged to Labor in the
lapt parliament, while the Liberal
party took a third Labor seat.
Conservatives Gain
Churchill's followers were run
ning slightly ahead in the total
popular vote but district after
district which they had been con
fident of winning stayed in the
Labor column:
The first Conservative - gain
came in the textile center of Man
chester, where a Laborite who
had a winning margin of only 42
votes in 1950 was beaten' by 272
votes.

light bomber wing will be sta
tioned_ at Bordeaux, This will be

composed of jet fighters—to west
ern Europe by the end of this
year.

teiranean has been built up to 60

Allies Propose
Korean Buffer
MUNSAN, Korea, Friday, Oct. 26 (IP) —A concrete Allied pro
posal for a Korean buffer zone, involving cession of about 200 square
miles of territory by each side, put the next cease-fire move squarely
up to the Communists today.
There was speculation that some sort of compromise would be
effected after the Reds make a counter-proposal., Upon this might
depend the speed with which the
United Nations and Communist
negotiators settle this thorny
question or go into a possible
new deadlock. ,
The sudden Allied proposal was
introduced at a subcommittee
meeting immediately after the
truce negotiations were resumed,
ending a 64-day suspension.
A United Nations command
spokesman said the Allied sug
gestion entailed a line generally
following the present battlefront,
but with the Reds to give up
about 200 square miles territory
in the west and the / Allies to pull
out of a similar area in the east.
Buffer zones two and one-half
miles wide would be created,
most of it in North Korea, but
dipping into South Korea at its
western end.
Maj. Gen. Henry I. Hodes, head
of the UN subcommittee, suggest
ed that the Reds accept the pro
posal or face a less favorable one
later. He noted that during the.
long suspension of the talks, the
battle line had moved many miles
north.
