28 Million To Vote Today In Great Britain Eden's Government Predicted To Gain tn Parliament Hold LONDON (INS) — BfJtain went to the polls today and some 28 million voters were expected to keep Sir Anthony Eden's Conservatives in power tor another five years. The polls opened at 7 u.m. (2 a.m. EDT), under gray but brightening skies. There was a prospect of thundershowers, however, over wide spread areas later in the day. Homeward bound night workers and early bird day workers in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland were the first to record their votes in the fo.urth national election since the closing days of World War 11. By 9 p.m„ the voters in the world’s oldest democracy will have chosen between the Conservative party’s “property owning democracy" and the Labor party's “fair ■"BhaTeß TOT <n.~ —— The final results were expected to show Sir Anthony Eden s governing Conservatives continued in power with a majority of the 630 seats in the new house of commons. Forecasts of the size of the Tory majority over the Socialist Laborices were scaled down in the closing hours of the dullest and quietest election campaign of this century. The final public opinion polls and survey indicated the Labor party, as in the October, 1951, election, had narrowed the , lead the Conservatives held when the campaign opened three weeks ago. Even Tory circles were predicting no more than a 50 seat majority whereas they spoke earlier in terms of a landslide victory by more than 100 seats. Eden’s government had an absolute majority of 19 in the last parliament, which had 625 members. Redistricting added five seats to the new house. There were 1,409 candidates, including 92 women, for the new house. None of the 17 Communists entered was given a chance to win. The first results were expected to be available between 10 and 11 o’clock tonight, with the decisive figures known by early Friday afternoon. Even the weather was thought to sawer the conservatives. Heavy thundershowers this evening, when most of the workers and their families vote. would hold down the labor total. Some Conservative supporters, with a partisan sense of humor, gave Londoners something to laugh about this morning. During the night, the columns on the front of the* Labor party headquarters, Transport House, were plasted With Tory election posters.
