Mr Hugh Gaitskell, leader of the Labour Party, made a renewed call tonight for a rovision of the Labour Party's constitution.
A dispute is raging within the Labour Party over his proposal to amend that part of its constitution-the famous Clause Four-which commits the Party to a policy of public ownership, or nationalisation.

This clause calls for commen ownership of production, distri- bullon and exchange. Some critics have said the nationalis- tion issue played a part in Labour's defeat at the last gen- cral election.

8-hour ordeal after capsize

A Hongkong yachtsman spent eight hours sitting on top of his capsized catamaran drifting helplessly in Colony waters early last Friday morning.
During the night three police patrol boats passed by
him without hearing his calls for help. Yesterday Andrew Sandy Fleming, 27, told a China Mail reporter of his experiences which have taught him one lesson: "never be without a bottle of whisky.”
"Last Friday morning I'd have given a fortune to have it with me," n' wisor Sandy said yestar- day.
