Says Eden Resigned I Because Os Health Former Minister Attlee In Address IbWA CITY, lowa (UP) — Former British Prime Minister Clement Attlee said Wednesday night Sir Anthony Eden resigned because his health was “worse than most people realize.” Attlee, in a news conference after speaking to a University of lowa audience, refused, however, to speculate on Eden’s successor as prime minister. ■Die Labor Party leader also called for a general election in Britain and said he would back party head Hugh Gaitskell for prime minister if the Laborites won a parliamentary majority. Attlee’s arrival here was delayed by a snowstorm that grounded. his plane at Moline, 111. He resigned his journey by train. In his address, Attlee discussed British and French motives for invading the Suez, but said the Qgited States was “justified” in opposing the move. CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (UP) — British Labor Party leader Hugh Gaitskell believes an extension of the 1955 Eden plan for withdrawal of NATO troops from Germany might lead to a Russian withdrawal of troops from satellite states. Speaking in the second of three lectures at Harvard University, Britain’s opposition party chief expressed confidence in the withdrawal plan only a few hours after Prime Minister Eden announced his resignation. Gaitskell’s first reaction to the news of Eden's resignation because of ill health was to,call for a general election which, he believes, could result in a Labor Party government in Britain. He also said, however, that it would take three or four weeks for such an election and indicated that he didn’t believe it would take place. He did say he felt it is “likely” that his party will seek a vote of confidence in Parliament to test the new government.

Margaret McConvey Resigns State Post Fears New Governor Will Play Politics INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Miss Margaret McConvey resigned Wednesday as Indiana state director of psychiatric nursing because, she said. She fears Gov.elect Harold W. Handley will play politics in the state’s mental health program. Miss McConvey said in a letter resigning Jan. 15 that “after six weeks of careful consideration, I remain unable to reconcile my own philosophy with the brand of philosophy inherent in local newspaper statements accredited to Lt. Gov. Handley.” “I find it impossible to believe that Mr. Handley will support the mental health program as Governor Craig has done, completely free from politics,” she said. - Miss McConvey came here in 1954 from Illinois, where she was coordinator of nursing education. The statement was delivered through the office of Dr. Margaret E. Morgan, who has resigned as state mental health commissioner effective next week.
