Socialists Ahead in British Vote LONDON (UP)—British Socialists have scored strong gains in the opening phase of small town and rural council elections that last through Saturday. Conservative headquarters conceded they were losing ground in this test of political sentiment among 20 million voters, just as they did in last month's county council elections when Laborites scored a landslide in London and made big gains in other large centers.

They contend the local elections show the Tories already have lost the country's confidence and should submit to a new national election. There is no official centralized reporting of returns in this week's elections, but reports gathered by both the major political parties showed a strong trent to the Laborites. The Laborites claimed a net gain of 90 seats. The Conservatives said the Socialists, of 1204 seats decide, had won a net of only 68. The Conservatives admitted net losses of 49 seats they held and recorded 19 more losses.

It veered against giving full ministerial rights to women, set forth church's view on war and peace made a change in the church's social creed, and set up a new body to study social and economic relations.

It also handled a record number of legislative petitions. From a survey commission report on overhauling church structure, the conference chose the controversial parts and ordered them enacted.

Church Asks Site Within 100 Yards Of Public Bar SACRÁMENTO (CNS) — The state board of equalization had a new type of request recently, when a letter was received from a church seeking permission to establish itself within a hundred yards of a public bar. Usually, the board's mail contains protests from churches, arguing that bars are seeking to establish themselves too close to a church. The unusual request, however, was to make certain that establishment of the church would not interfere with the operation of a bar in a nearby bowling alley, apparently owned by the same landlord who didn't want to lease to the church if the religious organization planned a protest. The minister was informed that the Board of Equalization has no jurisdiction over the location of churches, it already has enough trouble over the location of bars. Location of the church and bar is at Alida ave. and Northwood dr., in Brentwood Village, South San Francisco, and the church assured the board the arrangement was only temporary.
