He accused Macmillan's Conservative government of willingness to toss away 1,000 years of independence in exchange of doubtful commer- OCHILTREE Minister Macmillan to fight a national election on the issue.

All but a handful of the 1,300 dele gates supported party leader Hugh Gaitskell cial advantages. ELECTION CALL He called for a national election before such a course is attack opened one of the greatest political battles in Britain since the debates of 125 years ago over the corn laws which prohibited the importation of foreign grain. Macmillan will give his answer at the Conservative party conference next week. Gaitskell said the Common Market aims ultimately at a federated Europe and declared: "Our membership in such a grouping does mean the end of Britain as a national state. It is the end of 1,000 years.of history." In tones dripping with sarcasm he added "it is' a decision that needs a little care and thought.

'MEAN THE END' "This also would mean the end of the Commonwealth, for how could we serve as the center of the Commonwealth when we had become a province of Europe." The stamping of feet greeted his reference to the support Britain received in two world wars from the Commonwealth nations. "We, at least, no not intend to -forget Vimy Ridge and Gallipoli," he shouted, referring to two battles in World War I. Gaitskell accused Macmillan's Conservatives of losing interest in the Commonwealth now that it is a far-flung multiracial association rather than a grouping of white countries: "Some people are ready, no sooner has the new Commonwealth been created, to cast it aside," he said. "I believe with all my heart in this multiracial association. Together we can make a great contribution to the ending of the cold war."

Get economy size Nujol to save most, LOS ANGELES -(UPD- Assemblyman Joseph C. Shell today voiced his opposition to Senate reapportionment saying there "is no valid reason to, change it and there are many compelling reasons not to change it." "Throughout the primary campaign I constantly voiced my opposition to Proposition No. 23, the amendment which would reapportion, the state Senate," Shell said in a statement. "Our present system has provided workable balance between all areas of the state by electing the 80 members of the Assembly from districts based on population and the 40 members of the Senate from districts based on geographical representation," he said. Shell, who was unsuccessful in his bid for the Republican gubernatorial nomin at i said the proposition, if passed, would upset the present balance between the two which he said "works and works well." "Our current balance as between the Assembly and the' Senate has made it possible for our elected representatives to compromise differences of area interest for the common good of the citizens of California.

"Proposition No. 23 would upset this delicate balance which has served California so well and make such compromise most difficult to achieve." Tax Bill Veto Urged By ADA WASHINGTON -(P) -Americans for Democratic Action urged President Kennedy today to veto the tax bill on the ground that it constitutes a "raid on the pocketbook of the ordinary taxpayer." The bill -was passed yesterday and sent to the White House. It retained a key provision asked by Kennedy a $1 billion incentive to business to modernize plants. John P. Roche, national chairman of ADA, an organization that espouses liberal principles, wrote the President today: "The bill not only fails to correct the inequities in the tax structure which you called for; it makes an outright gift to business without those compensating virtues that made the bill palatable in the first place and thus deprives the country of an estimated $500 million or more annually in tax revenue.

"Such a bill clearly cannot serve as a stimulant to the flagging economy and is a long, sad departure from your original "A bill so contrary to the philosophy of the New Frontier and of the Democratic platform ought not to have your approval. Let the next Congress a more liberal Congress, we hope write on a clean slate."
