AND IT DROPS ELECTION PLAN

London, Jan. 21.

The Labour "shadow cabinet” today decided not to challenge the constitutional propriety of the appointment of Mr Harold Macmillan as Prime Minister.

The Labour leaders also decided not to press for a generul election to settle the matter.

The Labour Opposition in Parliament had raised an outery over the methods used in appointing a new Primo Minister, claiming that Conservatives, by not expecting their leader beforehand, forced the Queen into the embar- rassing position of having to make a choice between Mr Macmillan and Mr R. A. Butler,

Socialists argued this technique made it impossible to criticise the appointment without by implication criti- cising the monarch's choice.

MILDER TONE

Mr Hugh Gaitskell, the leader of the Party, who had been in the United States, presided tonight and political quarters said the meeting took "milder and more moderate tone."

Macmillan To Be Asked For Full Statement

From DEREK MARKS

Mr Hugh Gaitskeli plans to demand a full statement' of policy from Mr Harold Macmillan In the House of Com- mone tomorrow.

This was decided at a meeting of the Socialist'shadow cabinet

tonight. If a statement is made the Socialists' will at once table a motion of "no confidence" in the Government for debate early next week.

If the Prime · Minister. declines to make' a statement the government will at once be faced with two censure motions. One will relate to ita, polloy on employment and cost of living: the other to defence matters." There too would be for debate next week.

It is clear, the Socialists don't intend to allow the new Mac-

millan government any time to settle down.
