...certainly not our desire to spoil the visit in any way, [but] we are bound to differ on the issue of imprisoned Social Democrats, which we regard as an issue of principle." George Brown, the right-wing trade unionist who is contesting with Nye Bevan for the party treasuryship, had been the most persistent of Khrushchev's hecklers at the dinner. He had been swamped with mail since "I scattered the cat among the pigeons," he said, and proudly added: "Mr. Khrushchev told me he had not met a man like me for 30 or 40 years-since...
...name!" An equally impassioned plea was made for the Bishop's codefendant. Her lawyer declared: "This little woman comes up from Virginia charged with this crime.

While lurid epithets were hurled by Australia's lively Press, Mr. Theodore was reappointed Treasurer- this being the decisive mistake of Mr. Scullin's career...
...Treasuryship Threatened. Since 1900, when the National Labor-Party was founded, James Ramsay Macdonald has repeatedly been elected its treasurer. But, last week, at a party conference in Leicester, opponents of Mr. Macdonald, defiant as mice when the cat is away, stampeded through a vote 312 to 118 striking his name from the roll of nominees for treasurer. The stroke was significant, revealed sharply that divergence between Labor radicals and Labor conservatives which Mr. Macdonald has many times prevented from becoming a party split by the force of his political generalship...
