Senator Kendall in a Vital

Role
MANY people in Papua-New Guinea would note with pleasure, soon after May 9. that the re-election of Senator Roy Kendall, of Queensland, was con sidered certain. He was the third man on the Liberal ticket; and his return (and Australia’s immediate administrative future) depended entirely on whether Queensland (electing 5 Senators) went for or against the Menzies Government.
Queensland decided for Mr. Menzies, which meant that three Senators would be pro-Menzies, and two Labour.
Therefore, the former New Guinea sea-captain not only was re-elected; but, as the Liberal- Country Party’s Senate majority now is only two, he may be regarded as the Government’s most cherished possession.
