Election VICTORIA (CP)--There was talk of a record turnout today as British Columbia went about electing their 27th government since Confederation. A heavy percentage of the 872,718 eligible voters was ex- pected at the polls between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. PDT to decide on such issues as power de- velopment, medicare, automo- bile insurance and revamped tax proposals. The forecast was based on solid attendance at a three-day advance poll last week. Good weather was expected in all 42 constituencies. There was speculation in some newspapers that no one party would capture the bulk of the 52 seats at stake. Only twice since B.C. entered Confederation July 20, 1871, has a general election produced a minority situation. In 1941 the Liberal adminis- tration formed a coalition with the Conservatives. In 1952 Pre- mier Bennett came to power with 19 of the 48 seats that com- --- the legislature in those ys. RETAINS POWER \\, Premier Bennett's Social government has been in Awer ever since, They took 28 yeats in 1953, increased their hold to 39 in 1956 and took 32 in the 1960 election. 'When Premier Bennett dis- solved the house Aug. 22--40 days before election day -- his party held 31 seats, the New Democratic Party 16 and the Liberals five. -Only Social Credit and the NDP have nominated full slates.

Philip G a glardi, dynamic highways minister who engaged in a stiff, sharp campaign against Mr. Fulton in Kamloops constituency, says a six-per-cent swing of votes would be enough to leave the Social Credit short of a majority. he wants a new mandate be- fore the provincial-federal con- ference in November. He also wants approval to go ahead with a seven-year development plan. NDP leader Robert Strachan said the election was called be- cause provincial affairs are in a mess and the premier wants a new term in power before it becomes apparent just how bad conditions are. Labor Begins Attack On Mac SCARBOROUGH, England (Reuters)--The opposition La- bor party today launched a full- scale attack on Prime Minister Macmillan and his government as it prepared for an electoral showdown with the ruling Con- servative -party. Party Chairman David H. Da- vies called 1063 a "year of dis- aster" for the Conservatives in opening the annual Labor party convention. His attack followed a keynote speech by Harold Wil- son Sunday night in which the Opposition chief predicted Mac- millan would be ruthlessly sac- rificed by his own party in an attempt to regain lost ground. Davies, assistant general sec- retary of the Iron and Steel Trades Confederation, told the 1,233 delegates . representing 6,000,000 British socialists: 'We have reached the stage where even the conservative party has had enough." The 'disaster year" of 1963 home, a total collapse of its for- saw government failures at eign policies and the crowning blow of the Profumo scandal, Davies said. He echoed 'Wilson's; prediction of a Labor victory in The NDP promised a $50,000,-| | 000 medical care plan, fare" by cutting the work week to 40 hours from 44.

The case was settled Friday and all three opposition parties criticized the government over it. The government took over the giant utility in 1961 and paid $172,000,000 for it. When the legal air cleared Friday, the government had agreed to ante up another $25,000,000, Opposi- tion leaders said the settlement was meaningless because the $25,000,000 payment was not the national election which ynust be called before October, 4 by the legislature. OTTAWA (CP) -- Parliament resumes its labors today after an eight-week recess during which internal stresses mounted in all four parties.

It should submit its plans to the provincial government involved for approval. On provincial approval, the plans could be submitted--by the province--to the centennial administration, which would ad- vise the federal government on the project. .
