MR. CHURCHILL SPEAKS UP

Leaves Sickbed To Attack Government

Measure To Curb Power Bill Approved At First Reading

London, Nov. 11.

Mr. Winston Churchill today left his sickbed against his doctor's advice, to denounce the Labour Government in the House of Commons as an incompetent dictatorship which threaten- ed to lead Britain into bankruptcy and starva- tion. Showing little of the effects of the cold which had kept him in bed for four days, Mr. Churchill tore into the Government attempt to limit the House of Lords' veto power over Commons- approved legislation to one instead of two years."

He shouted down repeated by promises attempts led by Mr. Atties, to heckle him. ile pounded his dispatch bag and wagged his finger at the Government front bench.

Isaacs Mobilises Spivs And Drones

London, Nov. 11. The British people, already divided over the con- troversy on. the direction of labour in the Government's plan to speed up the export drive, heard today of new proposals designed to cover such people as those working on gam- bling-such as football pools, amusement arcades, night clubs and street trading in urban areas.

The proposals were announced in Parliament by Mr. George Isaacs, the Minister of Labour, who said that he had issued an order that day requiring the registration of persons unoccu- pied or who are following certain occupations. These included football pools and so on.
