COMMUNISTS ELECTED TO CIVIC OFFICE
Council For Australian Shire (Rec. 7.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, December 3. Following one of the bitterest election campaigns for many years, the Civic Reform Party appears certain to retain its governing majority on the City Council. The primary votes indicate that the party will hold 12 of the council’s 25 seats with Official Labour and Lang Labour holding the remainder. Only one voter in six went to the polls. The first council in New South Wales to return a Communist Party majority is Kearsley, a shire on the northern coalfields, and the centre of most of the recent mining disputes there. Of a council of eight, five will represent the Communist Party.
