There were indications, as the
count on yesterday’s balloting pro-
gressed, that Prime Minister John
Curtin's laborites would win a
clear working majority in the house.
The leader of the largest party
group in the house customarily is
asked to form the government.
The labor party in the recent
house had but 36 of its 75 mem-
bers. A coalition group had another
36. The balance of power was held
by Independents who voted with the
labor government
There appeared a strong possibi-
ity today that labor would gain g
to 14 seats.
Curtin held a comfortable lead
in his home constituency of west-
ern Australia, and labor ministers
appeared running strongly.
Arthur Fadden, opposition party
leader, also appeared to be retain-
ing his house seat in comparative-
ly close returns from Queensland.
The balloting was for all 75 seats
in the house and 19 of the 36 sen-
ate posts. The other Senators' terms
did not expire.
The senate races appeared close
in most of the commonwealth's
six states, but preliminary returns
indicated the majority of two held
by the opposition might be reduc-
ed.
The final count will not be fin-
ished for several days because of
