Harold Wilson's Labor gov- ernment stands in his way at the moment. But if past per- formance is a guide, Heath is the Tory most likely to suceed in ousting Labor at the general election expected within a year The 48 - year - old bachelor, 'elected to replace Sir Alec Douglas-Home as party chief in a poll of Conservative MPs Tuesday, is a man of action who revels in the challenge of practical political problems. "The aim of politics is to se- cure action," he told a conven- -tion of public relations men at Eastbourne last March, "and it is on the dynamism of the in- dividual that action depends." Although the stocky, dapper leader has headed the Tory pol- icy-mapping committee since Labor's victory last October, his record marks him more as' a pragmatist than a philosopher in politics. Speaking at Oxford on Brit- ain's world role early this year, Heath declared that despite diminished wealth, Britain could maintain worldwide influ- ence "through clear - sighted ness, determination and the forcesof personality." Heath has employed these qualities in his rise to the top from a book-loving boyhood. in the Kent resort town of Broad- stairs, where his father was a construction jobber. STARTED WITH MUSIC Musi¢ provided his entry--via a scholarship for proficiency as an organist--to Oxford and the world of Conservative politics. But music took second place to politics soon after his arrival in 1936 at Oxford, where he took first-class honors in economics, politics and philosophy. After war service as an artil- leryman, a brief stint as a civil servant at the civil aviation ministry, 20 months as editor of the Church of England Times-- he is a regular church-goer-- Heath joined an old firm of merchant bankers. He spent eight years in Par- Hiament as a party whip, but established a reputation as an able organizer, a skilled nego- . ~ ead and a policy-making pun- t. His efforts in preventing com- plete collapse of party unity after the 1956 Suez invasion and Anthony Eden's subsequent res- ignation won Heath the confi- dence of Harold Macmillan, who appointed him successively labor minister, House leader and foreign affairs spokesman in the Commons, Sir Alec Doug: las-Home, then the Earl of Home and a member of the House of Lords, was foreign secretary. EMERGED UNTAINTED ' Heath worked easily with Home during their 1960-63 for- eign office partnership and emerged untainted from the back-room power struggle in which Douglas-Home abdicated his peerage to succeed Macmil- Jan as prime minister. » Heath was put in charge of trade, industry and regional de- velopment with a special brief to get Britain into the Kuropean Common Market. His strenuous efforts in Europe failed, but he emerged with his reputation as a dynamo enhanced and was awarded the Charlemange Prize for promoting European unity. Viewing his multiple govern- ment job as an assignment to help modernize Britain, Heath later battled successfully for the abolition of retail price main tenance against heavy opposi- tion inside his own party. Heath's immediate job is to excite and inspire his party and the electorate. If he succeeds there, he will have his chance as prime minister, Driver Killed In Road-Crash REST; Ont.
