EIGHTEEN' PAGES: Gaitskell Successor Not Known LONDON (Reuters)--Britain speculated today on who will fill the big gap left in the British Labor party leadership by the death of Hugh Gaitskell Friday sight. The death of the 56-year-old Socialist leader came at a time when the opposition party was enjoying a resurgence of popu- larity with the electorate and preparing for a national election due within 18 months. The party's growing popular- ity led many Britons to forecast that Gaitskell would lead his party to victory and succeed Prime Minister Macmillas. The choice of a successor-- made by secret ballot of Labor legislators -- is technically an open question, But for practical forecasts only four men seem likely to be in the running. a stronger chance for victory than George Brown, 48, the deputy party leader. Brown, who was a union leader, could be sure of consid- erable support from the power- ful union group of Labor legis- lators, but politicians say he could not count on the support of the left-wing element of the party. James Callaghan, 50, a for- mer civil servant and now "shadow" chancellor of the ex- chequer, is another possible choice. A follower of the Gaits- kell line, he is personally popu- lar with even left-wingers who do not always share his views. Another possibility is Sir Frank Soskice, 60, a brilliant jurist who was first solicitor- general and later attorney-gen- eral in the post-war Labor gov- ,| ernment. MAY SUCCEED GAItT- SKELL -- George Brown, 48, above, deputy leader of Brit- ain's Labor Party, has been | mentioned as a possible suc- cessor to Hugh Gaitskell, the party's leader, who died Fri- day in London. Brown, an ex- pert on defence, is a staunch anti-Communist. --AP Wirephoto Of these the most experi --and reckoned by many as the most astute--is Harold Wilson, 46, the youngest of the four. HELD CABINET POST Wilson, a one-time university don who made Labor history by becoming president of the board of trade (commerce minister) at 31, is Labor's foreign affairs spokesman. Wilson has not only had four years of cabinet experience, but he has also been chairman of Labor's governing national exe- cutive committee and its annual conference. Many observers think his qualifications give him In Police MONTREAL (CP) -- Three Montreal men are to be ar- raigned Monday on charges of capital murder in connection with the shooting of two police- men during a bank holdup last Dec, 14.

He said they had met, as planned, in a restaurant and had driven in a rented car to a street corner where one of them picked up a stolen car that had been left there. They transferred a suitcase and some guns to the stolen car from the rented one at a shop- ping centre, then drove the stolen vehicle to the bank. Fournel said he parked the car near the bank's front door and entered behind Reeves, who ransacked tellers' cages while the driver covered part of the staff and picked up two. bags. GOES TO VAULT Marcotte been detailed to watch the but "got 8 mixed up and went to the vault instead." A police vehicle pulled up as they left the bank, Fournel said, and a policeman was getting out. He testified that he ran back into the bank, yelled at Reeves to get out and jumped out through a rear window himself. He said he doubled back to the street, went to a nearby motel and got a ride in a truck to the Dorval traffic circle, 14 miles away. From the circle he took a taxi back to the lot where the rented car had been parked. Later, he said, he met Mar- cotte and Reeves at an apart- ment and they split the loot~ estimated by police at $6,500 in cash and $56,000 in travellers' cheques--three ways. LAUGHS ON THE WAY Fourne] said Marcotte was laughing like Santa Claus while changing into the red cos- tume on the way to the bank.

A 10-day reprieve for the Brussels negotiations, won by France's five partners, provides a chance for exercise of such pressure. London believes President Kennedy will find ways of let- ting de Gaulle know what price France might have to pay if Western unity is wrecked as a result of the Common Market crisis. Any intervention by the Amer- ican leader would have to be discreet, De Gaulle has shown he be- lieves Britain would serve as a Trojan horse within the conti- nental coalition -- working to munity under American leader- ship. Taking their cue from de Gaulle's suspicions, French del- egates in Brussels--so the Brit- ish say--have been spreading word of what they claim to have been a deal secretly reached in the Bahamas last month by Prime Minister Mac- millan and Kennedy.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Chinese have a saying that if a man will eat ginger, he will eat anything. The Communist Chinese were forced to eat "ginger" Friday.

Secondly, Khrushchev made clear he would not sit down with the Chinese Commu- nists at a. party congress until they did meet his terms. Ac- cordingly, Khrushchev chose to visit an East Berlin television factory while Wu held the floor. U.S, experts noted that the hostile Communist delegates went beyond polite disagree- ment with the Chinese Commu- nist position and made it im- possible for Wu to state com- pletely that position, As a consequence, any thought of patching the rift has disap- peared and the big question would seem to be how Mao Tse- tung will react to the rebuff of his chosen representative.

The foreign office here has been advised he considers Mac- millan to have been less than frank with him when they met near Paris last month. He com- plained Macmillan knew then he would be signing the Nassau accord with Kennedy providing for the purchase of Polaris sub. marine-missiles and the buildup of a NATO nuclear force. This underlined why he regards Brit- ket as the spearhead of an American advance into Europe. In what may prove to be the greatest foreign policy gamble of his reign, de Gaulle is forcing France's partners to choose be- tween his own grand design for Europe and Kennedy's design for an Atlantic and even wider community. De Gaulle's dream is for Paris to lead a European coali- tion--perhaps as a sort of re- placement for the empire France has painfully lost since the Second World War.
