Three Laborites who have quit the party caucus because of
policy differences, and one Laborite whose election has been
questioned, stayed out of the balloting.
After half a century in labor unionism and politics,
Callaghan's big chance for the premiership came M arch 16
when Wilson announced his decision to retire on grounds of
age,
Wilson, 60, has headed four different governments, chalking
up 7 1 / 2 years of premiership, a record in this century for any
peacetime British leader.
As soon as the result of the ballot was declared, Callaghan
issued a promise and a warning to a packed meeting of
Laborites in the Palace of Westminster, which houses the
Parliament.
"There will be no insiders and no outsiders and no cliques in
my administration," he promised. So far as the past is con
cerned, I shall wipe the slate clean and I ask everyone else to
do the same."
Then came his warning: "I shall not be willing to accept a
situation in which minority groups in the parliamentary Labor
party maneuver to foist their views on the party as a whole. I
mean especially the left-wing Tribune and right-wing
Manifesto groups. None of you holds the Ark of the Covenant.'
Callaghan said the Labor government is in no position to
make easy promises. He announced he would shake up the
cabinet and government, which, together, number nearly 100
ministers. Each minister, under the British system, putt his
office at the disposal of the incoming leader.
It was plain, nonetheless, that some strong key ministers
will stay put. Foot, closely linked to the labor unions, is one.

the annual budget to the House of Commons today, is another.

"The Balcony" to open Thursday
University Theatre Produc
tions will present "The
Balcony," directed by Manuel
Duque, at 8 p.m. Thursday in
the Playhouse. •
Set in a brothel, the play by
Jean Genet is about a
revolution that has stripped
any real power from everyone
except the chief of police.
Regular customers are given
a chance to play out their fan
tasy roles and ambitions. One
man froth the gas company
becomes a bishop and another
becomes a victorious general.
In a series of macabre,
climactic scenes, the
playwright develops his
mocking view of man and
society.
Carmella Maurizi portrays
Madame Irma, the queen of
the brothel. Maurizi,
graduated from William and
Mary College, played Grusha
in University Theatre Produc
tion's "The Caucasian Chalk
Circle."
Paul Farin will play the role
of the chief of police. Farin, a
graduate acting student, ap
peared as Count Dracula in
"Dracula", as Malvolio in
"Twelfth Night" and as the
husband in "The Breasts of
Tiresias," all produced by
University Theatre Produc
tions.
"The Balcony" will open
April 8 to 10 and will continue
in New York and the special
TV show, "Women of the
Year Awards," originating
here live later Thursday.
The striking union threw a
picket line around the CBS
owned Ed Sullivan Theater
yesterday because it was
loaned to NBC for the special
telecast. First Lady Betty
/ Ford was scheduled to appear
on the show.
It was not immediately _
clear whether Mrs. Ford
would honor the picket line
and call off her attendance at
the "Women of the Year"
show on NBC.
The strike began after the
union turned down an NBC
offer of a 5 per cent raise in a
new contract over the
average $375 a week in the old
one.
