British Election Stirs Cabinet in London
Foreign Secretary Patrick Gordon Walker reportedly resigns after a crushing defeat in a special election. Prime Minister Harold Wilson is expected to assume the Foreign Office briefly while a successor is chosen. Denis Healey is a leading candidate but tied to a White Paper due February 16. Gordon Walker’s loss narrows Labor’s margin to three votes in the 630-seat House of Commons. Frank Cousins holds his seat after Labour’s Frank Owles leaves for the Lords, though the margin tightens. Conservatives cheer as steel stocks rise amid doubts over Wilson’s steel nationalization pledge and a possible early general election.
