The Liberals led the sweep; 117 of their can- didates won seats in returns reported up to 10.30 p.m., Hongkong Time. The Progressives won 27 seats and the Right-wing Socialists eight.
Incomplete figures indicated that 35,000,000 Japanese went to the polls, or 75 per cent of the electorate. The turn-out broke the previous record of 74 per cent set in 1949.

Avoids Making Decision On Korea Resolution
Morecambe, Oct. 1.
The annual conference of the British Labour Party today avoided taking a vote on a resolution calling for India's good offices to try to end the Korean truce deadlock.

The resolution also condemned the, bombing of the Yalu River power plants and the use of the napalm bomb in Korea and urged the admission of the People's Republic of China to the United Nations.
