PASSED
London, June 23.
House of Commons Socialists tonight overrode the objection by the Conservative leader, Mr. Winston Churchill, and passed the bill which took double votes away from many Britans.
The bill reduced members of the House of Commons from 640 to 613. by abolishing 12 University seats, one of

Conservatives, who hold University and City seats fought bitterly to stop the bill.
