London, September 26.

Mr. Richard Crossman, loader of Labour's "Keep Left" group in Parlia mant, last night dismissed reports that there was a split botwoon left and right wings in the Cabinet and the Labour Party on policy. He was commenting, in on interview, on current newspaper speculation sug- gesting that the Cabinet was threatened with an internal crisis.

CIVIL DEFENCE STEP IN ITALY

Rome, September 20. The Italian Cabinet today deelded to create a Volunteer Civil Defence Corps to go into action in case of calamity or

war.

It will be devoted solely passive defence with functions similar to those of Britain's war- time air-rald wardens,

In case of a crisis, the Gorps would be called on to take over certain routine duties of the police. Spokesmen of Italy's charged left wing parties have that the Corps would become: a private army of the powerful the Christian Democrat Party, predominant party in the Gov- erminent Coalition,

The Home

Minister. Signor Mario Scelba, who orignated the idea of the Corps, told reportoss after the Ave-hour Cabinet meet- ing that today's decision pleted the second phose of Italy's

Intensified of programme fance measures.

Many of these reports re- presented the Health Miniter, Mr. Aneurin Bevan, Cabinet left winger, as at the head of a party faction pressing not only for an early election but for a more full-blooded Fo clalist policy.

The right wing was represent- ed as rallying around Mr. Herbert Morrison, Deputy Prime Minister,

"To suggest that there is a split eliber in the Cabinet, the Porty or among the delegates to next week's Labour conference at Margate is to misunderstand 'the situation completely," Mr. Crossman declared.

He said that with an election in prospect the last thing millions of the rank and Ble Labour mem- bors wanted way to split.

"Indeed, there are no issues today which could malte for such A division between right and left," lic Boid.

Bi-partisanship, is dead

"In the Labour Party the old dispules about steel nationalisa- tion which divided Mr. Morrison from Mr. Bevan are dead. This is because everyone in the Parly,

left and centre, right,

accepts steel nationalisation and wants the new Steel Corporation' to get on with its job," he said:

Mr. Crosaman sald that the only grain of truth in reports of a Cabinet split a left wing Bevan led revolt in the Party was "the personal rivalry of Mr. Boven and Mr. Morrison."

But he added, "Mr. Bevan to- day is isolated In the Cabinet and in Parliament-though, of course, he stll enjoys huge popularity among the rank and file of the Party. And

even his enemics will admit that he has made no effort whatsoever to organise a faction or a revolt in the can- stituencies."
