iDomincint Party Confident
Oi Re-election In India
By V. M. NAIR
NEW DELHI (Reuterst-India's dominant political party. the Na- tional Congress. is confident of be- ing returned to power for another five years in this nation's second general election starting Feb. 25.
The oldest and most powerful party in India. the Congress has ruled since the country gained its independe I: 10 years ago. It will offer the electorate a phased pro- gram of progress towards social- ism and the welfare state through successive five-year plans.
Although sure of success, the Congress party is conscious of cer- tain weaknesses. such as the dead- weight of some members of Par- liament who won nomina”--n last time in return for former political services. the continued prevalence of the caste system and corrup- tion in the party, and the ten- dency of some members to op- nortunism.
This time. the congress high command is trying to bring in new blood to revitalize the party. Mem- bers of Parliament who have not proved capable are being rejected as party candidates and young members of high integrity and ad-
ganda line.
rninistrative ability are being nom-
lnated in their place. LEADS TO DISCQNTENT
This has led to widespread dis- content among rejected candi- dates. In bihar. more than 1.000 Congress members whodisagree with the selection of local congress candidates rebelled and decided to put up their own men to oppose official party nominees. Another 4.000 members resigned in protest against the ' al of party bach- ing to the state's present irriga- tion minister.
Other rejected applicants from every state in India are appealing against their rejection. Many are veteran Congress members who spent years in prison before inde- pendence and who feel their serv- ices should be recognized.
The Congress party led the struggle for Indian independence. Its paid-up membership of 8.704.- 516 is the highest of any political party in India. In the last general election, the Congress won 364 seats in the House of the People, or 74 per cent of the seats. al- though lt polled only 45 per cent of the total vote.
The main reason for the party's confidence this time is the out- stan” popularity of Prime Mia-
ister Jawaharlal Nehru. In the 1951 election, many voters. though dissatisfied with the Congress party. voted for it because of Nehru. g BEE 5-PER-CENT LOSS
However, some political observ- ers believe that the Congress will win fewer seats in this election.
Opposition parties expect at least a five-per-cent fall in the Congress vote. and a sharper de- crease in the Congress majority in Parliament. In the 1951 elections, 51 parties contested the election to the House of The P pie, although only 20 were able 0 win seats.
During the last two years. the Congress has set its sights firmly towards socialism and the party's election manifesto declares its ob- jectives as the establishment of a "socialist co - operative common- wealth."
Nehru, who visited Yugoslavia in 1955. is known to have been im- pressed by the Yugoslav type of socialism, which gives the work- era a share in the management and ownership of their factories instead of handing everything over to state ownership.

Believes Britain Know-How For
by KEN METIIERAI.
Canadian Press Staff Writer
LONDON (CP)-Viscount Chan- dos. head of one of Britain's four nuclear energy companies. said Thursday he believes Canada will look to the United Kingdom for 'hnow-how" in the development of nuclear power stations.
The chairman of Associated Electrical Industries and onetime state secretary for the colonies is scheduled to leave by sea next week for a three-week visit to Canada and the United States.
The A. E. I.-John Thompson Nuclear Energy F , rec- ently started work on construc- tion of a e3s.oooooo atomic power station at Berkeley on the estuary of the River Severn in Glouces- terahire.
The project is expected to take about his years to complete and the station will have an output of about 300,000 kilowatts of elec- trical energy.
'I believe that when the Cana- dians start building large nuclear power stations to supplement their water power and coal re- sources, they will find that the gas - cooled graphite - moderated station offers the best solution to their problems." Lord Cltandos
Has Lead In Atomic Power
