Alttlee Moves To Meet: Split In Labor Party Islanders Graduate As Air Navigators

Calls Emehgency Meeting To Deal With Bevan Revolt

LONDON. March 6-(Reutersl- Clement Aitlee. fuming over the split in his Labor Party ranks. today scheduled an emergency meeting to decide against the left-wing rebels who failed to sup- port him in yesterday's defence debates.

The full-scale party meeting was set for next Tuesday-the day the Conservative Government will hand down its new budget and when Aneurln Bcvan's Labor reb- els are expected to kick up more trouble in the opposition ranks.

Bevan. making a bold bid for leadership of the Labor Party. defied Attleo's men in the de- fence debate voting. Some 55 of his followers went along in ab- staining from the main Labor mo- tinn doubting the Government's ability to carry out the defence program. Then they voted against the program itself. which had been initiated by the Labor Gov- ernmcnt before it gave way to

Winston Churchillls Conserva- tires. Bevan'I followers have con-

fronted the Labor Party with a grave internal crisis.

some of the Labor old guard would like their leaders to threat- an the rebels with expulsion if they continue to defy the party line.

A much larger section thinks such drastic action is ' osaibic. because the rebels represent near- ly one-fifth of the party's parlia- mentary strength.

Bevan supporters today express- ML resentment over the way in which their leaders have handled the internal quarrel. Most of them appeared to feel that there is little the party can do by way of disciplinary pica ures.

Danger of the i ation is that the revolt, involving about 10 psciflsts as well as the Bevan group. may foment an even bliz- ger nplil. when the government's 'ntlatcrily" budget is introduced text week.

Bevan plans -to attack the bud- get on the score that proposed new austerity measures are caus- id by ruumament expenditure.

Pinay. 80-year-old independent republican (Conservative). then set. about to try to form France's first right.-wing coalition cabinet since the end of the Second World War.

The confirmation was such a surprise that even official vote tabulators in the Assembly were announcing Pinuy's defeat before they discovered 27 followers of Gen. Charles dc Gnulie had voted for him in defiance of party or- ders to abstain. This game him 324 votes to 200-11 more than the required constitutional min- imum of 313. The socialists and Communists voted against him.

Pinay got. an extra lift whcn' two do Gaullists resigned from the party in a stormy caucus be- fore the voto was taken. De Gaulle himself had ordered party members to abstain. If obeyed by all. this would have beaten Pinay.
