Oshawa Times VOL. 92--245 Bh 10 Cents Per Copy OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1963 Earl Gets Cabinet OK From Queen LONDON (CP)--The Earl of|the next move in the dramatic struggle, Home, the Scottish peer known to his friends as "gentle Alex," succeeded today in forming a new government and became prime minister of Britain. The 60-year-old foreign secre- tary immediately reported to the Queen at Buckingham Pal- ace that he had succeeded in forming a cabinet. He kissed her hand in the traditional act of homage that seals appoint-| ment to the highest political of-| fice in the country. sf Home overcame bitter opposi-; tion inside the cabinet.to his ap- pointment Friday as prime min- ster - designate following the resignation of the ailing Harold Macmillan. Home's trip to the palace fol- lowed a final conference with two of the Conservative party leaders who most strongly op- posed his elevation from foreign secretary to succeed Macmillan. The two, Deputy Prime Min- ister Richard A. Butler and Chancellor of the Exchequer Reginald Maudling, talked with Home for more than an hour at 10 Downing Street before he left to see the Queen. Home, the 14th earl of an an- cient Scottish line, is the first member of the peerage to be- come prime minister since the Marquess of Salisbury in 1895. NO WORD ON CABINET There was no announcement of the composition of the new cabinet. Reporters were told it probably will be forthcoming by Monday at the latest. It remained to be seen whether any of the 20 ministers who formed Macmillan's cabi- tant to dirty his upper - class net had expressed their dis- pleasure with Home's appoint- ment by declining to serve un- der him. | In the meeting with the Queen) Home was received in the audi-) ence chamber overlooking the sunlit. gardens of the palace. As Home emerged from the car and was driven out through the palace gates. Thus ended one' of the great- est power struggles in the his- tory of the Conservative party. It divided the party at a time Of received Home in a room in her private apartments. It was a dramatic windup for Home. Born to land - owning aristocratic family in Scotland, holder of an ancient earldom, he has always seemed a little above the political fray, reluc- hands in parliamentary infight- ing. His brother, William Douglas- Home, wrote the hit play The Reluctant Debutante and Home had seemed to be "the reluc- tant premier." HAS IRON WILL But gentle Alex's almost deli- cate appearance conceals an iron will. His brother says he is tough and determined. He has proved himself one of the most able orators in the House of Lords, always well briefed, invariably courteous, but sel- dom giving way on points of principle. Home, slim and soft-spoken, comes from one of the oldest family's in Scotland. He is expected to renounce his peerage in order to move from the House of Lords into the frontline of battle in the House of Commons. Home has been leader of the House of Lords and served un- der Sir Winston Churchill, war- time prime minister of Britain. In 1937-40, Home was Neville Chamberlan's private secretary and flew with him to Germany for the fateful Munich confer- ence. Home signed the partial nu- clear test-ban treaty in Moscow with U.S. State Secretary Dean Rusk and Russian Foreign Min- ister Andrei Gromyko. He has shown deep concern with the future of the United Nations. TALKS LENGTHY Home held eight hourse of al- most non - stop talks Friday night with cabinet members and colleagues in an effort to break a deadlock. During the talks at Downing Street, Home met no less than three times with Butler, Hails- ham and Maudling. Apparently undismayed by the major difficulties facing him, Home was smiling as he arrived at the prime minister's official residence this morning to continue discussions. His one comment to reporters was that he hoped "'everyone is going to forget politics except me." Within an hour Butler and Maudling arrived separately at Downing Street.
