'Child In Politics'

Durham, Oct. 0.

Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery former Ailled Deputy Supreme Commander in Europe who last night said that Labour voters should be put away in lunatic skydurns, was tonight described by his former boss as A "complete child in 'politics,”

This description came from Mr Emanuel Skinwell, one time Labour Secretary for War and Minister of Defence. “A cannot imagine anything more foolish tlm to mny that anybody who votes Labour ought to be put in a lunatle asylum," he added,

----That is an insuit not only to 12 million Labour electors but to thousands of ex-servicemen who, fought 'slong- side, Lord Montgomery in the war, and if i may say 10, helped to gain him his great reputation.
