A Buckingham Palace an- nouncement said: "The Queen has received the Earl of Home in audience and invited him to form an admin- istration." This action represented a per- sonal triumph for Macmillan who wanted Lord Home as his successor rather than Deputy Prime Minister Richard A. But- ler. ' Even though it was a victory for Macmillan, the struggle for the succession caused sharp di- visions in the Conservative party. Desperate 11th-hour efforts by l.utler's friends to keep him in the running fell short after a night of manoeuvre and coun- ter-manoeuvre in Britain's rul- ing Conservative party. For the second time Butler reached the very threshold of political power im Britain only to have the final prize elude him. He had been expected to succeed Sir Anthony Eden (now Lord Avon) six years and nine months ago, but that time the job went to Macmillan. dramatic struggle for power in Britain's ruling Con- servative party entered the fi- nal act this morning when Mac- millan, from a hospital bed, for- mally submitted his resignation after nearly seven years in of- fice. Then came the call to Lord Home to go to Buckingham Pal- ace.

He is 60.- Since July, 1960, he has served Macmillan as foreign secretary. During that period Lord Home acquired prestige through his efforts to ease East- West tension without surrender- ing vital Western interests to the Russians, As prime minister, Home is the first. nobleman appointed this century to Britain's highest political office. ENDS LONG TENURE MacMillan had been prime »-inister for six. years and nine months--the longest term of of- fice of any British premier in this century, Crowds gathered outside the palace shouted "It's Lord Home!

In Ottawa, CBRT President William J. Smith said the union had been forced out of the joint negotiations by the stand taken by Mr. Haill's committee.

The CBRT, representing 21,- 000 CNR employees, joined the non-ops negotiating committee in 1950 but has since had dif- ferences with several of the non- ops unions. The issue that led to the split was the CBRT demand that it be allowed to negotiate a sep- arate contract for 1,000 sleep- ing, dining and parlor car em- ployees whose contract, the un- ion said, was in urgent need of revision.

Industry Minister C. M. Election May Cost Reds Drury, explaining the intentions of the program here Thursday night after what he described as "friendly" discussions with U.S. authorities, said details will be announced in the House of Commons soon, probably by Oct.- 31.

CLC Vice - President William Mahoney said in an -interview that George Meany,. president of the AFL-CIO, is "obviously unaware of all the facts in this case." He also said that a proposed march by the Seafarers' Inter- national Union. (Ind.) on Ot- tawa to protest the trusteeship bill, borders on insanity. Mr. Mahoney, national direc- UN Seat UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- Elections today to fill three seats on the UN Security Coun- cil may cost Communist East Europe the seat it has held every other year since 1955, Delegates said that if cloak- room promises are kept, Ma- laysia should win easily over Communist Czechoslovakia in the General Assembly's secret vote, Soviet - bloc supporters re- called, however, that priavte commitments often fail to ma- terialize and that another split term could result. Since 1955, an East European nation has managed to split each two-year term for one council seat with an Asian or West European country because neither side could get the two- thirds vote needed for election to the full term. Thursday, the General As- smbly acted to seal East-West agreement on banning weapons of mass destruction from space. The 111-member body passed unanimously a resolution agreed on by the Soviet Union and the United States and sponsored by the 17 nations of the Geneva dis- armament conferece, including Canada. The action was considered the first major "next step" in eas- ing East-West tensions since the signing of the partial nuclear test ban treaty last summer. tor of the United Steelworkers of America (CLC), was here for the opening session's of the un- ion's two-day annual foundry convention. He said Mr. Meany's conten- tion that, the trusteeship will de- stroy free trade unionism on the Great Lakes is based on the premise that the SIU is sym- bolic of free trade unionism and "indicates a lack of understand- ing by George Meany of the na- ture of the SIU in Canada." "Destroying the SIU in Can- ada could not be considered by any stretch of the imagination as destroying free trade union- ism," Mr. Mahoney said. "The YOU'LL FIND - INSIDE...
