GAITSKELL
REFUSES TO RESIGN
Scarborough, Oct. 5.
Mr Hugh Gaitskell, Labour Party leader, will not resign. Instead he re-emphasised that he will fight the decision to renounce the H-bomb taken by the Party's annual conference ear- lier today.
Swent dripping from his face as he fought for his political Mio, he said: "There are some of us who will fight and fight the party they gnin' to save love.
"They will fight and fight and fight again to bring back sanity and honesty and diznity so that our party with its great past may retain dis glory, and its greatness,"
Condemning
the proposals that Britain should "go it alone" In unilaterally renouncing muclear defence, he brought loud boos from "Anti-Bomby” supporters by demanding:
