Aneurin Bevan's split with the Labor leadership over last years' budget would not make much of a difference, according to Beer. U. S. observers were upset by the fact that four Bevan men were recently elected to the Party's seven-man National Executive Committee at the Scarborough Conference, but Beer discounts this. "These seven seats only represent 770,000 people out of the 5,500,000 Labor Party members."

...from under the other three Republicans running. Boston GOP voters (who have never numbered less than 75,000 regardless of how many have registered as such) were misled by the Shattuck-Forbes, Lund endorsement of the NBC into believing that their party was supporting Democrats. This split the GOP vote and three of the five Republican candidates lost out in the primary...
