IDNDON, Oct. Sit-inun- dly)—(AP)-— The Labor Gov- ernment came within 2.4 votes of defeat In the House of Com- mons early today ln a stormy debate over abolition of the allns gasoline ration now sl- lotted British motorists.

Shouts from the Consens- tive benchee of “resign! re- sign!" greeted the vote—the smallest majority which the Labor Party ever has received on any Issue in the House of Commons lince it swept into power in I945.

The gasoline rationing de- hate developed a few hours after eight. messengers lisd car- ried Into the chamber u. peti- tion containing more than 1.- 000.000 si =- yrotestlng l Government decision abolishing the basic ration.

The closely-contested vote came on a Government motion to end debate on the Issue. Immediately after the Govern- ment motion had been carried by s. count of 184 to 160. an Opposition motion to amend the order abolishing the gaso-

line ration was defeated by 187 to 160.

LONDON, Oct. 29 -- Winston Churchill tonight lost his fourth attempt to expel Britain's Labor Government from office by parlia- mentary vote.

By 3481.0 201, the overwhelming Labor majority in the House of

day debate. Churchill's motion that the Government lacked the "national leadership, the adminis- trative competence. or the meas- ures to meet" Britain's current economic crisis.

Acceptance of the motion offered as the official Opposition amend- meht to the Address in reply to

the Throne Speech last week, would have constituted a. "no confidence” vote against Prime

Minister Attlee's Government.

The vote came alter Attlee as- sured the House his Government would carry out its program of industrial nationalization. and at-

ence depends on co-operation be- tween the occupying powers-the United States and Russia-with the assistance of the U. N.

Speaking for Canada. J. A. Bra- dette, Liberal member of Parlia- ment from Cochrane, Ont, said this was the best way to deal with the problem rather than have re- presentatives of the Korean people l come here to express their desire for unity and independence "upon which we all are agreed."
