 DEATH PENALTY HANGS ON          
                                 
 Junj 15, 1956: Progress on the     
 abolition of the death pjnalty in  
 Britain suffered a setback in      
 the House of Commons today.        
                                    
 MPs voted to retain hanging for    
 murders committed by prisoners     
 serving life sentences in order   
 to protect prison officers.      
                                  
 The defeat took abolitionists    
 by surprisj and could encourage  
 a battle in the House of Lords.
