Leadership 0f ilcnservativcs In Britain Uncertain

LONDON. Jan. 2 — (Reuters) - Thc future leadership of Britain's Conservative Party was clouded with uncertainty today a; Winston Ch ll vldporcd for his forth- coming trio to lire United States and Anthony Eden was mentioned

for a three month trip to North America. and while most members of Parliament believe the Opposition

Most political observers feel that While Mr. Eden is the logical suc- cessor for MT. Churchill. it is not by any means certain that be will taloc the position, Mr. Eden is the one prospective Conservative prime minister apart from Mr.~ Churchill himself whose national popularity would be likely to extend well beyond the llnrits of his nwn party, However. it. is the -_c|uallties which make him the sec- ond most popular Conservative to- gether with his lonz experience as foreign secmtory. which make him a good bet for the secretary general- ship of UNO

The Conservative hierarchy con- tains three men who are all possib- ilities — Richard Butler, former education minister, Oliver Lyttle- n, former production minister, and Sir Jcirn Anderson, former chancellor of the exciiequer.

Of the trio, Sir John alone, ac- cording to some Conservative ob- servers. would have something of Mr. Edens acceptability outside of purely party bounds. Seasoned, as- tute, responsible and impressive, he has a pontlfical quality of utter- ance which has gained him respect rather than affection.

Living ilhild Born With Two heads

BIRMINGHAM. England, Jun. 2 - (GP) — The 21-year-old wife of an American soldier gave birth to a two-headed baby girl Tues- day, and tonight she was report- ed choosing among names like Jane and Alice in the belief she had borne girl twins.

Her child was still alive - feed- ing by bottle st both mouths-but a. member of the Sally Oak Hos- pital staff said the baby's chances for survival were slim. However, a nurse said the baby was “slight- ly improved" tonight.

It was believed the task of in- forming the mother would be post- poned until there were more def- inite developments.

The soldier husband is in the United States, having returned there last July. Neither his name reiéir that of the mother was divulg-

The child has two perfectly formed-heads and two necks. Her shoulders and body are normal.

A doctor who examined the baby said she apparently has two sets of respiratory organs and that the two heads breaths at differ- ent rates. The two heads were said to cry and feed at different times. one wakins. crying and eating while the other lav asleep.

UITAWA, Jan. I - (Bpeci l — Complaints registered in the orn- mons and Senate last session by . Chester S. McLure, M.P., fol‘ Queen's, and Senator J.P. McIn- tyre of Mount Stewart.

In regard to lobster, it is point- ed out that 25 percent of the cau- ned lobster pack and of lobster paste caught in the Maritime Pro- vinces must be offered on the Can- adian market at ceiling price-s. The remaining '75 percent. Ottawa authorities say, is BVIIIIDIJI’: for export, in ihv host-paying market. provided that export permits are obtained from the department of trade and commerce.

The other specifying that 25 nor-- z-ont of the lobster pack be marl-zet- ed in Canada was issued an Jan- nnuury l. 1945 and is still in oner- ation. Moroovcr. lobster exporters must reveal to the fish administra- tor the prices contracted fur, whcn srllinrz this commodity to the Unit- ed States or other markets. This roguiatlon is presumably enacted foo income tax purposes.

In view nf complaints now on record. the entire situation will be reviewed in the near future and aci- ion token to correct existing abu- ses. the Guardian learns. Senator A.
