Death Penalty Abolition Battle Hits Lords in England
London reports a Lords defeat for a Commons approved plan to abolish the death penalty for a five year test period with exceptions. The vote 181 to 28 undermines the bill as Home Secretary Chuter Ede faces political pressure amid suspended hangings and four murderers reprieved but now at risk. The Labor cabinet struggles to reconcile two houses while an archbishop proposes a special bill to classify degrees of murder.
