LONDON, Nov. 11- Labor Government's heavy tnajor- lly in the House of Commons to- night decisively defeated vote of 345 to 194 a Consci- attempt to kill the coniro Government blll curbing the crs of the House of Lords.

Disregarding a warning of “dic- tatorship" and "sinister intrigue" ‘by ailing Winston Churchill, the Commons gave second reading, without further challenge, to the measure which would cut from two years to one the period in which "16 Peers may delay legislation approved by the Lower House.

bor and Conservative men-j. bers voted along straight party “r185. but the small Liberal party split on the issue. ,

eumcbly because of his indis- position. Thc wartime Prime Minister,

who will be 73 this month. admit- tcd that his presence "was under Protest from my medical advisers." He had missed the first day of de- bate Monday.

Prime Minister Attlec lcd the defence of the measure which he said was necessary to prevent "obstruction" of the Government's program by the Conservative- domlnated Lords.

In one of his most bitter attacks against the Government Churchill charged that "we are approaching wry near to dictatorship in Bri- tain-—a. dictatorship without even its criminality or efficiency." Attlee said:

"We believe that the powers of the House of Lords are obsolete. . . we did not suggest reform of the Ftouse of Lords whep we went to the electors; what we did say was that we should take pdwers to prevent obstruction and that exactly is what we have done."
