BENSON CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE will respond to the will of the people." But to that Benson added: "This does not mean that we in the United States can afford complacency.

I saw much evidence that the communists feel strongly that, their system is superior and will prevail throughout the world." Benson said his trip nim ther9 are good prospects increased trade with Europe necause demand for better diets there is increasing faster than agricultural production. In discussing the Russian situation, the secretary said the Soviet leaders have openly challenged the United States to peaceful competition in farm production and trade. "We have seen hundreds of posters in the USSR urging farmers to surpass the United States in per capita production and we htve also noted posters proclaiming ultimate victory of communism." he said. "We have told them we welcome honest competition. We will be carefully watching Soviet international trade practices to see if their slogans encouraging peaceful competition will be matched by their deeds." Benson said he has no fears concerning the superiority of this country's free agriculture system.

"After a first-hand look at agriculture under contrasting forms of government and in three communist countries, I am all the more convinced of the superiority of our agricultural system of privately owned family farms, the profit motive freedom for the farmer to decide what he wants to grow and market, and competitive markets WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benscn said today he is not a candidate for public office. He made this statement upon his return from a good will and trade trip to Europe. A newsman who accompanied the secretary told him there has been speculation abroad that the trip was made to further talk of him as a vice presidential possibility. "I am not a candidate foi office," Benson said.

In Europe he told friends he plans to return to the governing board of the Church of Latter Day Saints when his term is up. He fs on leave from the church post.

Macmillan's majority in the previous House of Commons vas 53. The tabulation gave the or.servatlves 362 seats, a net gain of 23, all won from labor. labor ites held 257 seats and the liberals 5. The conservatives counted on last performance to give them of the outstanding seats, one each for labor, liberal and an Independent. That would make the final conservative total of seats 365 against 265 for the combined opposition.

This majority of exactly 100 would be a gain of 47 seats for Macmil- an's forces. Returns from 87 per cent of the districts gave the Tories 49.7 per cent of the popular vote, about the same as in the 1955 election. Labor's popular vote was down to 43.8 per cent from 46.3 in 1955. The liberals' share of the vote in 1955. 2.7 per cent, was about doubled this time.

Must Win Districts The popular vote in itself, as in the United States, does not determine the election. The result is on the basis of how many of the nation's 630 districts a party can carry. The party winning the most seats the government. Voters had a chance to ballot 'or Macmillan directly only in lis own district at Bromley. There voters favored Macmillan.

11,603 the labor candidate. His majority of 15.542 was 2,313 ahead of his margin last election "Now I look forward to the next period to times of prosperity for a.ll the people," ie told his constituents today. "We are one. people, whatever our )arty and creed. May we see an opening for a new era of in the world." While the- crowd sang "For A Jolly Good Fellow," Macmillan waved and headed lack to Downing Street to con- inue conducting the government Labor htis shown a steady decline in popularitv since its andslide victory of 1945, when emerged with a 186-seat ma- ority.

Thrit was the election that turned Sir Winston Churchill out of the prime ministry after he had led the nation to victory. This time the British electorate spurned the socialistic laborites' lavish promises nf tax cuts and pension increases. Instead they plumped for the Conservatives' free enterprise policies, their "peace and plenty" platform, and chose Macmillan rather than Labor's Hugh Gaitskell to talk for Britain at the summit. Sets TVccpdent The vote gives the Conservatives a mandate to rule for another five years. Their third straight win is a feat without precedent in modern Britain politics.

As leader of the Conservatives, Macmlllnn continues in office as Prime Minister after the new Parliament meets Oct. 27. Once the election dust is settled. Macmillan will press on m.s drive for summit conference. He frankly claims a major share In the recent relaxation in world affairs, which he sees as springing from his trip to Moscow last February.

While seeking an accommodation with the Soviets, Macmillan stands firmly behind the British-American Alliance. He is not, however, an uncritical ally. As he sees it, Britain's role is to use its long experience in world affairs to try to bring the Western and Communist blocs together. IT. S.

Relieved U. S. officials in Washington obviously were relieved by the Conservative re-election. They foresaw that allied policy would move forward without change, rather than have to readjust to Laborite ideas Gaitskell and Aneurln Sevan, who would have become his foreign Secretary, contended that British policy was dominated too much by the United States. They particularly wanted to try for an East- West disengagement through a thinning out of forces in Central Europe, on both sides of the Macmillan, calm and relaxed victory "I am verv satisfied.

I think the results show the great common sense of the majority of the people." Gaitskell, pink-faced ex-professor, conceded defeat early in the count. "It is a disappointment but we have to accept the people's verdict," he said. "But the battle continues and tomorrow we shnll win," By "tomorrow" Gaitskell obviously meant in the next election. But already there was speculation that his leadership of the party would be challenged by Bevan or some other. Liberals Gain For the third force in the voting the middle-road Liberals this was a good election despite their few victories.

Their total vote was twice that of 1955. Liberal leaders read it as a sign that the party Is on the road back after 40 years in the wilderness. The election turned London nto an all-night festival, with ancing In the streets and rec- rd business in the pubs and ight clubs. Both Macmillan, 65, and Gait- tell, 53, were campaigning for he first time as party leaders. Macmillan took the Conserva- ve leadership in 1957 when Sir nthony Eden re-tired with roken health.

Gaitskell won the Laborite adership on Clement Attlee's etlrement to the House of Lords Christmas Will Soon Be Here, Use Our Layaway Plan Now While Stocks Complete. McLELLAN'S So lOc 104 N. Beaton St. Mrs, M.I. Hanks Dies On Friday Mrs.

Sir Winston Churchill won back his House of Commons seat at Woodford with a majority over a youthful Laborite.

Churchill returns to Parliament with a new title, "Father of the House." At 8-1 he has held a seat longer than any other member, since 1900 except for two years in the 1920s.

The biggest name among losers so far was Ian Mikardo, Labor party vice chairman, ousted by a Conservative at Reading. Leaders Win The prime minister, as expected, won easily over a Laborite opponent mentary district in his parlia- at Bromley, in Kent. His majority was 10,152.
