RUMOUR OF RIFT
Leadership Of National Party Report Cabled To London NZPA Special Correspondent LONDON, Dec. 1. The triumph of Mr Holland has excited New Zealand just as President Truman’s victory confounded the United States pollsters, states the Wellington correspondent of the Daily Express. The message adds that “ only on election eve did Mr Holland defeat an intrigue by the ‘ back room boys ’ of the National Party to displace him as party and Opposition Leader. Mr Holland, like his Yorkshire father, is a fast speaker and thinker. He dug in his toes with the tena'city for which that county is known. There will be changes now in the party organisation and its 4 shadow Cabinet.’ ”
