PLAYFORD TO STAY
S. Australian Government (N2. Press Assn.—Copyright) ADELAIDE, March 8. The South Australian Premier, Sir Thomas Playford, said in a telecast tonight that his Liberal Country Party Government would continue in office. Its position could be tested in Parliament and he
would accept Parliament’s decision “without any hard feelings whatsoever.” Meanwhile, the Government would avoid decisions which could be controversial, he said. This was his first official pronouncement since the State elections, which reduced the Government’s numbers in the House of Assembly to 18. compared with Labour’s 19, with two independents, who have yet to declare their stand.
