Britons Return Churchill to Power in Narrow Victory
London reports Winston Churchill led the Conservative Party to a hard won election ending six years of Labour rule. He secured about 313 seats with Labour around 290, Liberals five and others two.

The vote split favorably to rural Tory areas, easing strains with the United States and setting Britain on a path to curb socialist nationalization programs. The final majority remains to be finalized as districts report.
