call at annual
conference
London, Apr. 2.
Britain's Young Socialists today called for the resignation of Mr Hugh Gaitskoll as leader of the Labour Party after a stormy debate at their annual con- ference.
The debate on party leadership touched off hooing and cheering, with delegates standing to shout down others across the hall,
The Young, Socialists carried a resolution urging Mr Gaitskell's resignation by 189 votes to 113 after one speaker had said there was "a monster loose in this party" and another that he thought it farcical that "the so-called leader" should openly oppose deci- sions of the party's annual conference. (Mr Guitskell warned the annual conference of the Bri- tish Labour Party list October that he and his Parliamentary colleagues would fight with all the means in their power against the conference's re- solution demanding unilateral renunciation of all nuclear weapons.)
The vote against Gaitskell came 24 hours after the Co- operative Party reaffirmed its policy of opposition to nuclear weapons and called on Britain to quit all its military pacts-including Nato and Seato. The 11 million-strong Co-operative Party is represented in Parliament under the banner of the Labour, Party.
