from a special corr espondent Readers will have heard about the proposal put forward by the executive council of the People's Press Printing Society (the co-op which publishes the Daily Worker) to change the name of the paper, For several weeks now there has been discussion on the topic in the columns of Daily Worker, with a marked preponderance of letters favouring the change. However, when it came to the London meeting of the P.P.P.S. to discuss the question there was a close vote. The proposal to change the name of the paper was carried by only 84 votes to 69, Following the decision, shareholders were asked to vote for one of six alternatives. In addition to Morning Star, proposed by the executive council, there were: The People's Star, The New Herald, The People's Press, New Age, Clarion and The Daily, The voting on the latter question will be announced later this week, as will the results of voting at 11 other meetings up and down the country of -P.P.P.S. shareholders, The london vote having gone in favour of the change means that it will almost certainly be carried.
