1 At Labour Conference

A PERSONAL TRIUMPH Emphasises Danger Of Unemployment

Morecambe, Sept. 29.

Mr Aneurin Bevan, Socialist rebel, scored a big personal triumph with a speech on unemploy. ment on the opening of the Labour Party's annual conference here today. The Welsh firebrand, whose conflict over arms policy with the party's official leaders is likely to come to a showdown this week, was thunderously cheered by the 1,200 dele- gates.

Mr Bevan made his mark today without directly introducing any of the controversies now dividing him from the party's "old guard,"

But he repeatedly made jocular references to the disputed issues.

His statement was eriticised in the British Press, and when he returned to Britain a few days later the Brigadier said at London airport: "To have a base in '. Egypt is absolutely vital strategically."L
