Churchill Indicts Labor Government of Great Britain
London AP Winston Churchill accuses the Labor government of tyranny conceit and incompetence and says he will seek a parliamentary vote of censure when Parliament reconvenes on January 21. The government plans farm control measures and a takeover of the 20 000 mile railway system with new price guarantees for crops and power to seize property for noncompliance. A white paper grants food and agriculture ministers broad powers to push the plan as part of the party's postwar reform agenda.

Greek Civil War Fears Blocked by UN Debate
The 11 nation council faced objections from American and British delegates over a proposed seven nation inquiry into Greece and its three Soviet backed neighbors Albania Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. Gromyko warned Greece was blaming external powers for internal strife and urged restraint while Yugoslav and other delegations questioned the need for a formal investigation.
