PAPER
Growing Criticism Of Lab Party Leader
London, Oct. 5.
The former Prime Minister, Mr Clement Attlee, came under fire tonight from his own Right Wing members for failing to lead their forces against the coup by the Left Wing leader, Mr Aneurin Bevan, in the Labour Party.
Opposing Land Reform
El Minya, Egypt, Oct. 5.
Sayed Adly Balch Bamlum, 23-year-old scion of one of Egypt's wealthiest familles, was sent to prison for life today for opposing Egyptian land reform by force. The government had demanded the death penally before a special military court set up to try him.

The Ramlum family owns anveral thousand acres south of Cairo and is reported to employ bodyguards and rule whole villages in feudal style.

The fight between Moderates and Bevanites in the Labour Party will go on in local Party branches, Parlia ment and trade unions.
The Sunday Pictorial, pro-Labour newspaper which last week launched a force campaign against Mr Bevan, continued it today and said: "Mr Attlee, by his enfeebled leadership. has netively assisted in the disintegration of the Party. Hej must resign, or if he won't resign, he must be thrown out of the key post.
"Herbert Morrison is the other Old Guard who did little when he saw the threat of Bevanism trickling through the dyke. But with Attlee out of his way, he would then have a chance."-United Press.
ADMITS PARTY CLEAVAGE
Reading, Oct. 6.
The Revanite member of Parliament, Mr Ian Mikarde, who was elected to the executive at last week's Labour Party| conference at Morecambe, said here tonight it was "perfectly true" there was a "great cleavago" in the party.
He told a meeting of his constituents: "People can any as much as they like that we are a party with a great cleavage. It is porfectly true. I do not accept it as a rebuke but as a tribute.
"The only way to get rid of cleavages and differences is to have no ideas at all.
"Let us in the future do what Morecambe did-refuse to conduct arguments on the basis of personality and conduct them only on the basis of idens."-Reuter.
