By Jim Karayn
The results of the forthcoming British elections are unpredictable and will hinge
In three factors, the behavior of the third-party Liberal voters, the vote of a million un-ecided Britons, and the skill of the parties in getting their supporters to the polls.

Queen Battles Going Strong
Five of the campus’s lovliest coeds paraded before the critical nd not party candidate. In the j eyes of the judges yesterday as
the first day of interviews for the DT’s “Queen to End All
tst elections many Liberals cast leir votes for Conservatives lerely because they felt the sup-ort of a Liberal candidate was •tile since in prior elections, the 'beral party had been able to ect only a handful of candidates Parliament.’*
There are more than a million ;ndecided voters in Britain at e present time who may decide e outcome of the election. Dr. iodee said. Most of these voters jme from lower income groups, jut the way they'll vote is un-redictable.
No Exciting Issues Dr. Rodee feels the election n ill be close maiijly because there re no “extremely exciting" polit-al issues, and that the “Labor arty will close ranks during the lection, so no split will exist in he party.”
The one big issue will be -abor's stand on the nationaliza ion of large industries. Accord-r»g to the party’s manifesto, >abor. not only wants 'to rena-onalize the iron, steel, and notor transport industries, but 1 s o advocates governmental wne*-ship of certain sections of e chemical and machine tool in-ustries.
Queens” contest went off without a snag.
“The candidates all ‘measured’ up to our expectations,’’ said contest chairman Phil Cook. “We were quite pleased with the cooperation we received.”
Judging will continue through today and tomorrow with the winners being announced in Monday’s DT and Monday’s Watcher-Featurette.
Yesterday’s judg* included Arnold Diener. Cook, Mark Thoreson, and Charlie Barnett, retiring DT editor.

Six finalists of the Senior Queen contest, sponsored by the senior class, will be feted this evening at the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity house.
The queen will be chosen from Pat Broderick. Pi Phi; Una Mae Brunskill, Gamma Phi; Barbara Haase, Delta Gamma; Joni Mannix, AOPi; Patti Tremellen, Delta Gamma; and Lauragene Wood, AChiO.
The winner will be announced and awarded a trophy at the Jubilee Ball this Friday night at the Riviera Country Club, according to Ron Pacini, chairman of the contest.
Hearst will tell how he and his “task force,” consisting of his editorial assistant Frank Conniff, and Kingsbury Smith the European general manager of International News Service, managed to “invade” Moscow’ and obtain interviews with four of the top Communist leaders, Foreign Minister Molotov, Premier Bulganin, Marshal Zhokov, and party boss Khruschev.
Moscow Mission This “Mission to Moscow,” made last year, has been called by the London Daily Mail “an unprecedented scoop,” and “the most remarkable mission in postwar journalistic history.”
Hearst’s name has long been connected with newspapers and reporting, but his colleagues are just as well known. Kingsbury Smith is the only western newsman to gain an interview’ with Malenkov, and his interview with Stalin a few years ago is credited with ending the Berlin blockade.
Hearst Assistant Frank Conniff, Hearst’s editorial assistant, has been a sports w’riter, news reporter, war correspondent, and columnist for the New York v Journal - American Conniff saw action at the Island of Elba during World War II, and is credited with saving the lives of several wounded soldiers. Later he himself was wounded and awarded the Purple Heart.
Since his return from Russia, Hearst has been on a nationwide speaking tour, addressing civic and business groups and many colleges throughout the country.
