STRUGGLE
POWER FORECAST
Eden's Position "Exposed And Precarious"
HAS EAGER RIVALS
London, Apr. 6.
Two influential weckend reviews, one right-- wing the other Socialist, today hinted that Sir Anthony Eden's succession to the premiership would begin a struggle for power within the ruling Conservative Party.
The rightwing Spectator, commenting on Sir Winston Churchill's resignation, discussed a pos- sible "struggle for power" within a Conservative "triumvirate."
The leftwing · New Statesman and Nation de- clared that Sir Anthony's position' was "exposed and precarious" as his hold on the party machine was "extremely weak.”
The Spectator's editorial said: "Whatever kind of Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden proves to be, the Con servative Party is from now on going to be governed by a triumvirate..
