The Tories flung down the gauntlet after Prime Minister Att- lee told the new House of Com- mons his regime plans to go ahead on the iron and steel program. * * * EARLIER, in all the regalia of tradition, King George had read to the opening session of the new Parliament the Labor govern- ment's policy speech which omit- ted all mention of further nation- alization or Socialist measures. Churchill called 'a meeting of the Conservative Party "shad- ow cabinet" a few minutes after Attlee had finished speaking. If the Conservatives press the issue to a tvote of confidence and win, the government might have to resign. This would force a new national election on the heels of the Feb. 23 -balloting in which Labor was returned to power with a precarious seven-seat majority. Attlee said the debate on the King's speech will go on until next Monday. Churchill will lead off for the opposition in the re- sumed debate today. Tradition requires a British gov- ernment to quit whenever it is de- feated in Commons on a major issue.
