in the annual speech
the cabinet and read
lizabeth II at the de-
corous and elegant state opening
of Parliament in the morning.
But in the afternoon, the scene
switched from the ermine robes
and jeweled gowns of the House
of Lords to the harsh political
battle of the House of Commons.
Edward Heath, leader of the
Conservative opposition, attacked
the program this way:
"The queen's speech is an elec-
tioneering pamphlet designed to
fill the shopwindow for the com-
ing election."
With Labor's majority in the
House of Commons down _to one
vote, the specter of a national
election is not idle talk. Two spe-
cial elections are coming up soon
to fill vacancies in Labor-held dis-
tricts. In the unlikely event that
the Tories win both, Labor's ma-i
jority will disappear.
Wilson obviously is counting on
some support from the Liberal
party, whose nine votes are com-
mitted to oppose nationalizing
steel.
The essence of the prime min-
ister's gamble is his hope that
Labor's left wing will not go into
open revolt on the soft-pedalling
of their Socialist ideals on steel.
The Tories caught Wilson's di-
lemma at once, chanting "Steel,
steel, steel."
Heath called the shift "a squal-
id act of political expediency by
a prime minister who puts politi-
cal power before his principles and
beliefs."
Such language is designed to
cut and wound in Commons tra-
dition and, judging by Wilson's de-
meanor, it succeeded. The prime'
minister angrily waved the notes'
of his own speech in the air. +
When his turn came, he dismiss-'
ed Heath's program swiftly -
"back to the drawing board, Ted"
-and spent an hour filling in the
details of Labor's pla.ns
He insisted that state ownership'
of steel remains the Labor policy
but "the time for the House is'
fully mortgaged for this coming
session."
More important was the reac-
tion of Michael Foot, one of the
leaders of the Labor left and a+
partisan of nationalization. He
busily took notes while Wilson
spoke about steel. There were re-I
ports he planned to line up fel-
low members to sign a motion cri-3
ticizing government steel policy..

NEW YORK-A young Roman
Catholic pacifist, almost every
inch of his body burned, lingered
on the brink of death after turn-
ing himself into a human torch
yesterday outside the United Na-
tions to protest the Viet Nam war.
Later, he apparently repented
the ghastly deed.
The last rites of the Roman
Catholic Church were administer-
ed to LaPorte, after he expressed
repentance over his violation of
its strict religious credo against
suicide.
JOHNSON CITY - President
Johnson has restated broad Amer-
ican goals in Viet Nam and pro-
claimed Nov. 28 as "a day of
dedication and prayer" for forces
of all nationalities working with
the United States there.
Congress had suggested Nov. 27
as the day of Prayer. However, a
series of antiwar demonstrations
-including a march on Washing-
ton-already had been planned for
that day.
ess Johnson, who had authority to
fix the timing of the tribute to
fighting forces in Viet Nam, de-
cided on the following day, a Sun-
st day. In so doing, he reportedly
ay wanted to avoid a direct confron-
ng tation between backers and critics.

MILWAUKEE - A 21-year-old
Kenosha factory worker who re-
fused to report for induction be-
cause he said he opposed United
States involvement in Viet Nam,
was indicted by a federal grand
jury yesterday for violation of the
Selective Service Act.
Irving A. Kurki came to the
Racine draft board Aug. 10 along
with other prospective inductees
but he refused to board a bus for
the Milwaukee induction center.

WASHINGTON - The Defense
Department decided yesterday it
no longer wants 17-year-old serv-
icemen fighting in Viet Nam.
The reported reason is that
there is plenty of older military
manpower available.
Another motivation for the de-
cision appears to be that the Pen-
tagon has been getting some ques-
tions and critical mail from citi-
zens since a couple of 17-year-
olds were killed in Viet Nam.
UNITED NATIONS-The coun-
tries campaigning to seat Com-
munist China in the United Na-
tions reportedly agreed yesterday
on a strategic move to win maxi-
mum suport, but their chances of
success still were regarded as dim.
Diplomatic sources said they
had drafted a resolution that
would have the 117-nation Gen-
eral Assembly bring in the Chinese
Communists without making clear
whether it was also throwing out
the Chinese Nationalists.
Yet some delegates believed that
even that kind of resolution would,
fail to gain the two-thirds major-1
ity necessary to change the rep-1
resentation of the Chinese people.a
