DESIRE FOR UNITY SENATE ELECTION RESULTS UNITED PARTY SUCCESS (United Press Asn. —riec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Ont. 17. 3.15 p.m.) SYDNEY, October 17 The Canberra correspondent of the Morning Herald says the official Labour Party has insisted that before there is any discussion about the methods of achieving unity the Federal Prime Minister, Mr Menzies, must give satisfactory assurances that he will implement some at least of the principal points of Mr J. Curtin’s policy speech. Mr Menzies has undertaken to make a close analysis of the speech and indicate on Monday how far he is prepared to go. MELBOURNE, October 17 The Senate count has been completed, and has resulted in the reelection of three retiring United Australia Party Senators, MajorGeneral C. H. Brand, Mr W. G. Gibson and Mr J. W. Leckie, and the displacement of Senator Sheehan (Labour) by Mr J. A. Spicer (U.A.P.).
