| Description: | News in Brief: England, British Elections. A landslide victory for Harold Macmillan's conservatives is the surprise outcome of British elections, plus remarkable new strength shown by the liberal party, and a heavy blow to the strength and prestige of labour. Record numbers of Britons go to the polls. People walk to and out of building with sign, "Polling Station." Macmillan climbs from car, waves, photographers about him. Sign, "Churchill's Committee Rooms." Elderly-looking Sir Winston Churchill (and his wife) waving from open car. Churchill flashes V for victory (or peace) sign. Odd cutaway -- little toddler with messy face stares up at camera. Hugh Gaitskill, surrounded by older women, gets a kiss from one of them. Crowds cheer and celebrate outdoors, night, in front of large sign, "Daily Telegraph Election Results." Daytime, Macmillan waves to crowds as he walks up to what looks like No. 10 Downing Street. | |
