North Ireland Votes Today On Joining Eire
By UNITED PRESS

The result was considered certain —continued membership in the United Kingdom. Advocates of union with Catholic southern Ireland have found scant support in predominantly Protestant Northern Ireland.

Unionists, pledged to continued membership in the United Kingdom, now holds 33 seats in the 52-seat Northern Ireland house of commons. Political observers expect them to win 35 to 36 seats in today's elections.
Prime Minister Sir Basil Stanley Brooke's Unionist party, Northern Ireland's counterpart of Winston Churchill's British Conservative party, seemed certain to get a renewed and perhaps stronger mandate from the people.
Opposing the Unionists on a platform of unity with the Irish republic are the Independent Labor party in Belfast and the Nationalist party in rural areas.
