At midnight ori June 4 a score or so newspapermen -were in aroom adjoining the hotel pantry through which Senator Kennedywas going: to talk to them after his victory speech in the ballroomof the Hotel Ambassador in Los Angeles. ALISTAIR COOKE was

among.them. Here is his account of the scene.making the usual h i n d s i g h tcracks at the Kennedys.

Kennedy's press secretary hadpromised that once the Senatorhad saluted his army he would godown from the ballroom stageand come to see 'us through thekitchen that separated ourretreat from the ballroom.

It was just after midnight. Asurge ol! cheers and a greatswivellijg of lights heralded him,and soon he was up on therostrum with his eager, button-eyed wife and Jessie Unruh, hismassive campaign manager Ittook minutes to get the feedbackboom oat of the mikes but atlast there was a kind of sub-dued uproar a-nd he said he firstwanted to express "my highregard to Don. Drysdal-e for hassix great shut-outs." (Drysdale isa baseball pitcher whose Tuesdaynight feat of holding Ms sutthsuccessive opposing teams to noruns' has made him a legend.)

It was the right, the wry Ken-nedy note. He thanked a list ofhelpers by name. He thanked"all those loyal Mexican Ameri-cans " and " all my friends in theblack community." Then hestiffened his gestures and hisstyle and said , it only went toshow that " all those promisesand all those party caucuses haveindicated that the people of theUnited States want a change."

An hour or so- before mid-night, it was already clear thata wake was setting in at theBeverly Hilton Hotel, wherethe. youngsters for McCarthyroamed in great numbers inand around the grand ball-room.

The percentage gap betweenMcCarthy's lead over Kennedywas; shrinking every quarterhour or so, as the returns from

I Los i Angeles County began toovertake McCarthy's anticipatedstrength in Northern California.It was a ' young and doughtycrowd; gamely but hopelesslytrying to keep its spirit up.

In this country, at any rate,only, the very pure in iieart lovea loser. And it seemed a goodidea to .move on to the victoryboy at- the Ambassador. WilshireBoulevard is one of the longestof the long straight avenues thatbisect the huge east-west spreado£ this city;, "and at such a timeit ' seemed as long as a Romanroad. The hotel's driveway wasa miniature freeway in a trafficjam, and the "human traffic insidethe foyer was almost worse.

Fighting wordBut at ¦ last, through the

strutting cops and guards andthe elated crowd and tbe din ofwhistles and cheers, it waspossible to reach the northballroom a bone-white glare oflight seen at the far end of thelobby.

Security is a lighting word atthe Kennedy .headquarters any-where, and not without reason.You had to have a specialKennedy press card to acquirethe privilege of being suffocatedin the ballroom, and no othercredentials for a reporter woulddo. I had only a general presscard, a McCarthy badge, adriver's licence, and such otherabsurdities. So I turned back andthought of fighting *he way backhome. ¦

But just alongside the guardedentrance to the north ballroomwas another door, around whicha pack of ecstatic faces, blackan-* white, was jostling for somekind of privilege view. Therewa^ a guard there, too , and aKennedy man who recognisedme, caught in,the general, wash,squeezed me .through into analmost empty room. It was likebeing beached by a tidal wave.

The place was no longer than. dbout 40 feet.. It was a small

private dining room, fitted out asa press room. There was a longtrestle table against one wallloaded with typewriters and tele-phones ; and standing by were afew middle-aged lady operatorstaking a breather.

In one corner was a boomingtelevision ' set switching betweenLhe rumblings of defeat at theMcCarthy hotel and the clamourof victory in the adj acent ball-room. A fat girl wearing aKennedy straw Salt sucked a cokethrough a straw. There were15 or 20 of us at most, exchang-ing campaign reminiscences and

several times against a wall. Ahalf-dozen or so of us trotted tothe kitchen door and at themoment tune and life collapsed.Kennedy and his aides had beencoming on through the pantry.It was now seen to be not akitchen but a regular servingpantry with great1 long tablesand racks of plates against thewall.

Shouts and screamsHe was smiling and shaking

hands with a waiter, then a chefin a high white hat. Lots ofNegroes, naturally, and theywere glowing with pride, for hewas their man. Then thosesounds from somewhere, from apress of people on or near asteam table. And before youcould synchronise your sight andthought, Kennedy was a pronebundle on the greasy floor, andtwo or three others had gonedown with him. There was anexplosion of shouts and screamsand the high moaning cries ofmini-skirted girls.

The doors of the pantryswung back and forth and wewould peek in on the obscenedisorder and reel back again tosit down, then to glare in a stupi-fied way at the nearest friend,to steady one boozy woman withblack-rimmed eyes who waspounding a table and screaming," Goddamned stinking country ! "The fat girl was babbling faintlylike a baby, like someone in amotor accident.

Out in the chaos of the ball-room, Kennedy's broHher-in-lawwas begging for doctors. Andback in the pantry they werehowling for doctors. It was hardto see who had been badly lut.One face was streaming withblood. It was that of PaulSchrade, a high union official , andit came out that he got offlightly

The arrestA woman had a purple bruise

on her forehead. Another manwas down. Kennedy was lookingup like a stunned choirboy froman open shirt and a limp huddleof limbs. Somehow, in thedependable fashion "f the faifh,a priest had appeared.

Cheers and tearsHe congratulated McCarthy on

fighting for his principles. Hehoped that now there might be" a debate between the Vice-President and perhaps myself."He flashed his teeth again in hischuckling, rabbity smile andended, " My thanks to all of you—an d now it's on to Chicago andlet's win there "

A delirium of cheers andlights and tears and a risingthrob of ," We want Bobby ! Wewant Bobby ! We want Bobby !"

He tumbled down from therostrum with his aides and body-guards about Mm. He would bewith us in 20 seconds, half aminute at most.

Grave fears that Senator RobertKennedy would not survive the bulletwounds to his brain were expressed inLos Angeles last night after a medicalbulletin had reported his condition as" extremely critical." One of the doctorswho operated on him said that even if hesurvived, he might suffer extensive braindamage.

The man accused of the shootingis named as Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, aged24, whom the police identified as aJordanian born in Jerusalem's Arabsector. He went to the United States in1957, but, according to US officials, isnot an American citizen.

The police said that he had refusedLo give any information about the crime.But an eye-witness of the shootingreported that he had shouted : " I did itfor my country."

Last month Senator Kennedy wasamong Democrats whose views on theMiddle East were published in a specialreport. He was quoted as saying :"America should stand ready to sell

Israel jet aircrait and other arms." Inhis campaign he spoke strongly for theintegrity of the Jewish State.

Throughout the world the shootingwas seen as a tragedy on an internationalscale. The third major assassinationattempt in recent years—after thedeaths of President Kennedy and theRev. Martin Luther King—came at amoment of personal rejoicing for theSenator who had just re-established hislead in the Presidential electioncampaign.

Only 15 hours after the attemptedassassination the House of Representa-tives in Washington cleared for approvala crime control Bill containing restric-tions on the sale of firearms. Passage ofthe Bill—opposed by Senator Kennedyon the grounds that its gun control pro-visions were too weak—was expectedtoday. The measure would ban all mailorder sales of hand guns and limit thesales over the counter to people aged 21or older. Rifles and shotguns are notaffee tfid.

Prom DAVID GRAY, Los Angeles, June .5Members of the medical

team who had taken part inthe operation on SenatorKennedy were tonight beingquoted as saying that therewere now the gravest doubtsabout the possibility of theSenator's recovery. He wasstill unconscious, but nofurther surgery was contem-plated.

Meanwhile, after 10 hours ofinterrogation, officials of the LosAngeles Police Department -havesucceeded in identifying the manwho was arrested after the shoot-ing as Sirhan Sirhan, aged 24,who formerly lived in theJordanian part of Jerusalem andwhose first established connec-tion with the city is that heattended John Muir High Schooland that lie has a brother wholives in Pasadena.

Later inquiries revealed thatSirhan is a Moslem and amember of the United ArabLeague, an anti-Ziomst orga-nisation. He was said to beenraged about some of the pro-Israeli comments which Kennedyhad made in recent weeks, inparticular his suggestion that theIsraelis ought to be given 50 jetfigh ters.

Dr Henry Curieo, one of thesurgeons who operated on theSenator and who was reliablyquoted tonight as saying that he" might not make it," addedthat if the Senator lived, it *vasquite likely there would besome impairment of vision andmuscle control, but n-crt neces-sarily of intellect or speech.

H*ft ° -IP ^

The bulletinThe latest official bulletin,

however, for public consumption,said :

"The team of physiciansattending Senator RobertKennedy is concerned overhis continuing failure to showimprovement during the postoperative period. As of 5 p.m.(midnight GMT). SenatorKennedy's condition is stilldescribed as extremely criticalas to life."This bulletin came 15 hours

after the shooting, in which fiveother people were injured.Before this doctors had said thatthe next 12 to 36 hours would becrucial in the fight for theSenator's life. Three bulletsentered his body. One hit himin the chest, another went intothe fleshy part of the neck (thisdoes not cause the surgeons anyanxiety), and the third—by farthe most dangerous—lodged inhis brain, severing several majorarteries, and causing blood clotsand a loss of the supply of bloodto the mid-brain. After theoperation, only one small frag-ment of this last bullet remainedin his head, and Frank Manekie-wicz, his aide, said that thesurgeons did not regard that asa problem at the moment.

Ramsey Clark, the US Attor-ney-General, said today thatthere was no evidence that theshooting was anything but theact of one man working alone,but in a television interview thisafternoon Booker T. Griffin , oneof Kennedy's aides, said that hehad seen the man who is accusedof the shooting in the company

of a girl in a white dress some-time before fche shooting.Later he saw both of them

with a tall white man. He wassurprised that they had beenable to get into that part of thehotel because entry was strictlycontrolled. " I passed him abouteight times waiting about ," saidGriffin.

"He had a sneer on his face,and I particularly noticed thisbecause he was the only person

who did not look happy andelated," he said.

Another witness, a woman whohad stepped on to a fire escape atthe hotel because she wantedsome air, said that a white- girland a boy who looked as thoughhe might be a Mexican, pushedpassed her crying : " We shothim." At the time she did notknow "that Kennedy had beeninjured, but when she went backinto the hotel she heard cries andconfusion.

According to Mayor SamuelYorty, of Los An geles, a note-book diary kept by Sirhan carriedthe declaration " Kennedy had tobe assassinated before June 5,1968." The Mayor said two note-books were found in Sirhan'shome. They each contained about20 pages of anti-Americanreflections.

The mayor also identified aweek-old press clipping foundon Sirhan. It was a column onKennedy's hawkish attitudetoward the Arabs and dovishattitude toward Vietnam.

All through the morning andin the confusion which followedthe shooting the accused Jor-danian had refused to give hisname. Eventually, he was identi.fied by his brother.

The ¦ police chief, Mr TomReddin, described him as" intelligent, lucid and interestedin- events," and speaking " goodEnglish with what might beeither a Cuban or a Jamaicanaccent." The only thing herefused to discuss, said MrKedoUn, was the shooting. When-ever the conversation movedtowards the gunning-down of theSenator, Siitam said : " I preferto remain incommunicado."

Foreign moneyAt the time of his arrest, four

100-dollar bills plus some foreignmoney—evidence, police think,that he planned to go abroadif he escaped from the hotel—were found on him.

No trace of Sirhan's finger-

prints was found in the adul trecords, but this morning asearch of'the juvenile files atSacramento, the State capital ,produced a set of prints whichhad been taken when he appliedfor ajob as an exercise boy atthe Hollywood Park racetrackwhile he was still at school.

One of the mysteries ot themorning was that a car key wasfound in his possession, whichfitted a car parked in the streetoutside. This belonged to a mem-ber of the hotel kitchen staffand this man was being inter-viewed by the police_ today. _

At "first , when they were trying to identify Sirhan, theythought that he and the ownerof the car might be the sameperson. The car was parked-ina no-paricing area and not in thestaff car park.

"We are trying to find theanswer to this," said Reddin, buthe stressed that no one is incustody apart from the suspect,who faces six charges ofattempted murder and will bebrought to trial within a week.All the commentators here havepaid tribute to the way in whichthe police protected Sirhan fromthe fury of Kennedy's supportersafter the shooting. " We wantedthis one alive," said one offici al.

ProtectionPresident Johnson has already

announced that he is takingaction to protect serious con-tenders for the Presidency fromsimilar attempts at assassination.Within 10 minutes of the newsfrom Senator Kennedy's hotel, abodyguard had raced over to theBeverly Hilton to protect SenatorEugene McCarthy, the oUier head-ing Democratic contender in theCalifornia Presidential primary.

Detectives stayed outside hisroom all night The Kennedyorganisation had not apparentlyasked the Los Angeles police forany special security guard fortheir candidate. Reddin todaydescribed campaign security as"a terribly difficult area " Headded : " Most of the major can-didates li ke people around themThey like hand-sjhaking andcrowds. They want to meet thepeople "

Senator McCarthy, watih 92 percent of the returns in was sixpoints behind Kennedy in theprimary here (41 per cent and1,197,745 votes compared withKennedy's 47 per cent and1,325,659), was hoping to seemembers of the Kennedy familytoday.

Kennedy had been talkingabout the need for a radicalcoalition all through tliis cam-paign in California, butMcCarthy had been saying thathe was determined to fight onalone to the convention. IfKennedy is able to go on, his" sympathy vote " will betremendous.

From RICHARD , SCOTT, Washington, Jnae 5The shooting of Senator

K en,n ed-y - is- -,-Just- - onemore indication of the extentto which violence has becomea part of the American way oflife. And until Congress takessteps to bring this country'slaws governing the availabiliti'of guns into line with thoseobtaining in most civilisedcountries, one must reluc-tantly say that it-has becomean accepted part of that wayof life.

The shooting of PresidentKennedy in Dallas, of Dr MartinLuther King in Memphis, andnow of Robert Kennedy in' LosAngeles are only the mostnotable instances of the violenceto which this country is becom-ing increasingly subjected in itsdaily, life.

It is intolerable that within aperiod of less than five yearsthree of the-1 country's most out-standing leaders should havebeen shot. Equally intolerableare the hundreds of acts ofviolence that take place daily

across the length and breadth ofthis country, and .the,fearithatinhibits substantial-' numbers ofAmericans from venturing out atnight to. walk-on the "streets ' oftfieir .cities. , . " J '

LaooiuLF9s bland eye to enemyMr Eddie Griffiths, the

Labour candidate in theBnghtside byelection, isbehaving as though his Con-servative opponent, Mr ColinRenfrew, or indeed any othersin the fight did not exist.

His attitude suggests eitherthat he is too busy with his owncampaign to be concerned aboutoutside influences, or a touchingbelief that Labour's Brightsidemajority o£ 19,177 is unassail-able. It is probably the latter.He said yesterday that whenBrightside polls he is convincedthat its strong Labour traditionwill not be forgotten. The choicewas clear for the electors.

By JOSEPH MINOGUEThere was another confident

statement from Mr Griffithsyesterday—that steel wouldnever be denationalised. Heclaimed • that the Conservativeshad lost their allies ; the steelbosses had spent thousands try-ing to prevent nationalisation ,but many of them had nowtaken jobs with the BritishSteel Corporation.

Mr Renfrew is still verymuch a runner in spite of any-thing Mr Griffiths might think.He grumbled yesterday that thereal issues of the election werenot being debated enoughpublicly. He would like a jointplatform with Mr Griffiths togive them an airing, but time is

so short in thiis campaign, whichhas been hindered by the inter-vention of Whitsuntide, that aconfrontation appears to beunlikely.

Mr Renfrew taked about edu-cation yesterday, comparing theConservative Government's re-cord with Labour's, whose policyhad been one of outs and con-fusion. Labour had tried to ramcomprehensive schooling downpeople's throats, while therehad been a departure from theprinciple of free higher educa-tion to the point where manystudents had to make a choicebetween buying hooks or doingwithout food.

The Communist candidate. Mr

Bob Wilkinson, was busy discus-sing prices, jobs, and the wagefreeze with Bnghtside house-wives. He [had time, however, tomention Hr George Woodcock'sspeech about the need tostrengthen the authority of theTUC. It would have much moreauthority, he said, if it supportedthe wage claims being made bynine million workers.

Mixed views about OpenUniversity's newvice-chancellor

By our Education CorrespondentThe first vice-chancellor of

the Open University is Profes-sor Walter Perry, professor ofp h a r m a c o l o g y and vice-principal of Edinburgh Univer-sity. A noted specialist in hisfield , he has not had agreat deal of experiencein adult education, extramuralwork, or broadcasting—thefields whidh some fancied tothrow up the first organiserof Britain's unique venture.

The planning committee,under Sir Peter Venables, which,chose him—he takes up the postearly in 1969—has got someonerelatively young at 46, academi-cally respectable without precon-ceptions, and with a provenrecord in administration.

For much of his career he hasbeen associated with the MedicalResearch Council : he was on itsstaff from 1947-52. He wasdirector of the department ofbiological standards from 1952-8,during which time the SaUc vac-cine was introduced in Britain.

Under his wing at Edinburghthere is an MRC brain metabo-lism research unit

Opinion among interestedparties was divided over theappointment yesterday, rangingfrom an "I'm surprised—ifs thelast thing I would haveexpected," from a senior extra-mural figure, to an "It's a com-pletely new proposition—lets geta man with minimum preconcep-tions," from an officia1 in theNational Institute fo-r AdultEducation.

It is widely realised that theadministrative problems of theOpen University will be aweinspiring : the battles with tele-vision and local authorities forresources, the dovetailing of airtime, correspondence courses,and spells of residential teaching,and the attraction of enoughstudents to justify the experi-ment will bring headaches.

Crucial appointments ofdirectors of studies for the OpenUniversity will follow soon, andmore detailed planning can nowstart.

Tales out ofschool forprospectiveteachers

By our EducationCorrespondent

A two shilling booklet onteaching as a career, publishedby the Central Youth Employ-ment Executive, may createsome wry laughter in theprofession.

"Teaching Is an expandingprofession in. which there

^are

good employment prospects, itstates, at a time when part-timeteachers are being axed and theprospects for students in trainingare not entirely rosy. Theboolalet says :

" At the present time a generalshortage of all kinds of qualifiedteachers exists; it is, however,particularly acute among infants'teachers and teachers of mathe-matics, science, tome economics,and o£ physical education forgirls."As it ought to be

Tie f o r e w o r d, perhaps,places more emphasis on teach-ing as it oujjht to be than as italways is. "A facility ma particular subject or group ofsubjects should be allied to astrong desire to work with youngpeople. A pleasant naturalmanner, enthusiasm, vitality,adaptability, and a sympathetic•understanding of people are allnecessary qualities. The teacherassists the dull as well as thebright to learn: and eo he shouldcriticise his charges construc-tively. Those who are overbear-ing, extremely shy, or sarcastic,should not enter the teachingprofession ."

The pleasant mannered, enthu-siastic, vital, adaptable, andunderstanding who are adjuredto read on will get a good pottedaccount of the qualifications andopportunities available forteachers now, including detailsof salaries. The rest of us willjust have to ,go on working withthe overbearing, extremely shyand sarcastic who never managedto get into teaching.

Boy stowawayhome—withbill for £91Stephen Wilkins, aged 15,

who turned up in Philadelphiaon Tuesday after stowingaway on an aircraft at Heath-row Airport-London, returnedto his home in Grimsby lastnight with a bill for £91 for hisair passage home.

Stephen, who stowed away inJuly of last year and amrived iaNew York, was tousMed, into 4hehouse by bis paremte, Mr andMrs Alfred 'WilMns, after theyhad driven him iflhs 175 milesfrom the adiport. Mr Willoinsrefused 4o let ,*he boy faJk toreporters. He said : "I am¦choked wiCh the witole thing.Last time it was for notfiasg.This lime if anyone wants anexclusive story they can pay methe £91." , - •

The BOAC did not charge lastyear fl>r Stephen's return pas-sage. Stepfoen, who dasapoear-edfrom lus home on Friday withJris best suit and £10 of Mssavings, will go back to bis iobas a cabin boy on tie Grimsbytug Lady Thelma.

By our LabourThe Fulton committee of

intnidxy into the Civil Service,whose report is to he publishedat the end of the month, isexpected to recommend removingthe power of recruitment andpromotion in the Civil Servicefrom the Treasury.

Instead, the committee callsfor the establishment of a newcommission responsible to thePrime Minister. The Treasurycan be expected to fight fiercelyagainst this proposal whichwould mean a serious diminutionin the power of the . department.

CorresponedentHowever, the Prime Ministerand most senior members of theCabinet are backing the plan,first given in the " Guardian "two months ago. '

Among other suggestions fromthe committee, whose chairmanis Lord Fulton, are a mergingof administrative and executivegrades providing easier promo-tion for the able, the recruit-ment of more exiperts fromprivate i n d u s t r y and thetemporary secondment of- civilservants to industry, easiertransfer of t e c h n ic a l civilservants to managerial posts andthe streamlining of job grades.

MP isclearedof bookstheftMr Hector Samuel James

Hughes, QC, the 80-year-old Labour MP for NorthA b e r d e e n , successfullyappealed before the InnerLondon Sessions AppealsCommittee yesterday, againsta conviction and fine of £10,with an order to pay £21 com-pensation, Imposed by theBow Street magistrate, on acharge alleging that he stolethree books worth £4 13s froma Victoria Station bookstall.

The chaiumaii, Mr R. E. Seaton,said the committee took the viewthat Mr Hughes was incapable offorming the necessary intentionto commit larceny.

Mr Victor Durand, QC, for MrHughes, said that certain medi-cal evidence was not put beforethe magistrate. The criminallaw did not require a- convictionif the balance of probabilitiesshowed that Mr Hughes was ina mental state.

Dr Kevin Zilkha said that hesaw Mr Hughes in February,1963, after he had had a seizurein the House of Commons. Sincethen,, his health had deteriorated.In August, 1963. he had anotherseizure, and an X-ray of .his headshowed atrophy of the brain.

Replying to Mr Seaton, MrDurand agreed that it was aform of senility.Forgetful

Mr Gordon Campbell, LobbyCorrespondent of the "ScottishDaily Express," said that 10years ago, Mr Hughes was ashrewd politician able to makedecisions quickly. In the pastthree or four years, however, hehad become extremely forgetful.

After a short retirement, theAppeals Committee returned,and Mr Seaton said it was agreat pity that Mr Hughes hadnot disclosed the facts whenbefore the magistrate, as every-body had been misled. In thecircumstances, the appeal wouldbe allowed and the convictionQuashed.

Co-operative Congresscalls forrepeal of SET

NCC'L champions boys whowere bound over

BY A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTThe repeal of the selective employment tax , which cost

retail societies £9.5 millions last year, was demanded bythe Co-operative Congress at Scarborough yesterday.

In the last Budget the tax was increased by 50 per centThe prospect of meeting a SET bill of nearly £14 millions

this year has generated arebellious mood amongmany Co-operative societies,whose politically affiliatedmembership has been areliable source of ballot boxstrength for the LabourParty.

Mr David McNal) , LondonSociety, crystallised Co-operativeresentments when he asked :" How unrealistic can MrsBarbara Castle and the Pricesand Incomes Board be when theyask for prices to be cut whileGovernment polity makes themrise ? "Takeover bid

There was considerable specu-lation among delegates aboutrumours of a procedural take-over bid by the CWS for theCo-operative Insurance Society,which has an income of £90millions a year. The CWS isrepresented on the CIS board.Under the Industrial and Provi-dent Societies Bill, which is tobe piloted through the House ofLords by Lord Peddie, a formerCWS director, the CWS would beclassified as a " parent " bodyand the CIS as an auxiliary.

Some officials of the CIS,anxious to preserve their pro-fessional status, have beenagitating for protective clausesin tihe Bill. They resented theprospect of the CWS's using theCIS's considerable reserve fundsto further CWS trading opera-tions

Expert opinion within theCo-operative movement, however,asserts that the CWS fears aregroundless because the Legisla-ture would not consider it in thepublic interest for the CWS,engaging in a different form oftrade, to exploit CIS funds, whichare derived from widely differentactivities.

The case of two 17-year-oldschoolboys who were boundover to keep the peace inFebruary at Oxford after theythemselves had been assaultedis being pursued by theNational Council for CivilLiberties.

The boys had not been chargedwith an offence. Nor had theybrought the case against those1accused of assault.

Their subsequent appeal atOxford Quarter Sessions wasallowed because they had notbeen given a chance to defendthemselves and because therewas no evidence of misconduct.

The NCCL says that the appealcourt recorder criticised themagistrates for their treatment

of the two boys who, the recordersaid, has come forward to assistthe police by giving evidence forthe prosecution.

Mr Tony Smythe, the council'ssecretary, said yesterday : " Weshall continue our correspon-dence with the Lord Chancellor,and if we do' not get a sensiblereply, there will be questions tothe Lord Chancellor througlimembers of the House of Lordswho support us."

The council is also disturbedthat the police briefed counselfor the appeal, in spite of theobvious merit of the boys' case.And it goes on to criticise the"frivolous disregard " by theLord Chancellor's Office of thefact that the boys initially hadcome forward in good faith toassist the police.

Research onnew 'prints'system

3

Research is being carriedout to discover whether asystem can be devised underwhich computers could beused in fingerprint recogni-tion , Mr James Callaghan ,Home Secretary, said yester-day.

He told the Association ofChief Police Officers' conferencein Torquay that long-termstudies were being undertakenby the police leseareh anddevelopment branch. The aimof the research was to try to cutdown manual work and leadingfirms in the electronics field havebeen involved.

"The question to be answeredis whether it will be possible todevise a system under whichcomputers can recognise finger-print patterns and produce asmall group of suspects whichcould tihen be more closelyidentified by fingerpnint experts,"he said. "Some progress isbeing made, but it is too earlyto say whether the research willbe successful."Success

Breathalyser tests had had astartling success on reducingdrinking and driving accidents,he said. Mr Callaghan hopedthat this would be permanent,although it was too early to say.There had been a general accep-tance of the law . and theassociated police activity.

" This is a remarkable achieve-ment which reflects most highlyon the whole service, whodeserve indeed the very heartythanks of all members of thepublic," he said.

An artist's impression of the inside of the new shopping precinct

Supershops plan for 'CranfordPlans have been drawn up to

budld a shopping centre atKnutsford, Cheshire, on twoacres of near<lerelict landbetween the town's historicmain streets.

Planners believe that Knuts-ford , the original of Mrs Gaskell's" Cranford ," will begin to decline

as a trading centre unless newstops, including some super-markets, are touilt. Shop trade inthe town has become static,according to a survey, aftersteadily expanding between 1950¦and 1960.

Much of Knutsford's historicinterest is concentrated in thecentral area, where King Streetand Princess Street retain many

of their original eighteenth andearly nineteenth century build-ings, and preserve the countrymarket town atmosphere.

Cheshire County Council andKnutsford UDC want to developthe open site between the streetsas a ground floor shopping centre—the scheme could cost up to£500,000—with landscaped parksfor about 150 cars above.

The Minister of Health, MrKenneth Robinson, said yester-day that staff shortages innursing and the social serviceswould not be solved by eachprofession bidding against theother. The problem had to betackled radically by trainingmore men and women and byusing more part-time staff .

Mr Robinson, who was inLeeds at the start of a three-daytour of Yorkshire, said that themanpower pool for nursing andsocial services was not expand-ing fast enough. The valuablecontribution made by immi-grants would continue toincrease numerically hut notproportionally.

The problem was most likelyto be solved by the morerational use of trained stafi.The days when nurses had toscrub floors were not long pastand in the future even more ofthese ancillary duties would becarried out by part-time recruits.

More male nurses were notthe answer to the difficult staffsituation. While lie would liketo see more men in nursing theMinistry had no' plans for acampaign to recruit themspecifically.

Drunken driving continuedits upward trend in 1967, hispite of the breathalyser.

According to a report pub-lished today by the ChristianEconomic and Social ResearchFoundation, convictions wereup 6 per cent on 1966.

The increase was more or lessin line with the trend of motorvehicle licence totals.No persecution

In an analysis of two thirds ofthe 1967 convictions for drunkendriving, the report found nosupport for the theory that thepolice used the breathalyser topersecute motorists.

It did find that motorists under30 continued- to increase as aproportion of those being con-victed both before and after theintroduction of the breathalyser.

One of .the most disturbingfindings was of a reversal of thefeour-years downward trend inpedestrian drunkenness.

In 1964 the fo undation's figureswere 76,842. The total for lastyear was an estimated 76,500.

The Court of Appeal is to con-sider whether comedian NormanWisdom should pay tax on a£48,000 profit he made when heinvested £200,000 in silver bul-lion. The Inland Revenue haslodged notice of appeal from aruling by Mr Justice Gof£ in theHigh Court on March 11 that the

profit was not liable for incometax.

The Judge had held that thetax commissioners were wrongwhen they found that the invest-ment, in 1962, was " an adven-ture in the nature of a trade "on which income tax should bepaid He said Mr Wisdom hadinvested the money as a hedgeagainst devaluation.

Sportsmerfs lobby may now lose at lastJ$Y a tragic coincidence tJhe¦" first s m a l l measuretowards control of gun sales inAmerica was due j to comebefore the House of Represen-tatives yesterday for con-sideration.

Its approval now is almostcertain—font it is a tiny advance ,compared with the controls pro-posed after President Kenned y'sassassination and mad e moreurgent by the shootin g of MartinLuther King. It would stop mail-order sales of hand guns andover- the-counter sales tD thoseunder (21.Eroded to nothing

That'most powerful lobby, theNational Rifle Association, hassucceeded in pressing out of theBill—now part of a generalpackage law-and-order regulation—reference to rifles and shot-guns, and any question oiregistration of firearms. Witt900,000 members, and 8,000 affili-ated associations, the NBA has

devoted nearly £2 .5 millions todefeating attempts to control gunowner-ship. Besides eroding thepresent Bill to almost nothin g,it has helped to ke ep the wholeissue in a dorm ant committeestage for four years.

Two million weapons are soldeach year in America and 27 mil-lion people own guns—enough toput a gun ire lialE of all Americanhomes . A recent survey showedthat two thirds of Americansfavour some sort of Feder al con-trol and registration of flr rarmsales ; but 55 per cent of whitegun owners said they would beprepared to shoot 'people in ariot. Since last summer 's race dis-turbances , gun ownership, accord-ing to another poll , has nearlydoubled. This has meant a pros-perous time for the country's 400or more mail-order gunstores ;President Kenned y was killedwith a rifle bought through thepost.

Senator Thomas Dodd of Con-necticut , along with SenatorEdward Kenned y, has been themain proponent of control laws.In 1966 he produced figures to

By JOHN O'CAIXAGHAN

show that where gun laws areweak—they vary from State toState and city to city—a largenum ber of killings are com-mitted with guns. In Dal las 72per cent of homicides are byshooting; in Phoenix , Arizona ,where the laws are also weak ,611 per cent, while in tougherNew York only a quarter of allkillings are by shooting.

Yet in spite of the two-an-hour deaths by shooting andanguished pleading T>y statesmenincluding President Johnson—" What m the name of consciencewill it take to pass a truly effec-tive gun-control law ? "—theguns - for - all lobby conductsbizarre academic arguments tosupport its position.

In this month' s " Gun s andAmmo, " for instance , huntinglicence fig ures by State are com-pared wife crime rates to " sup-port the conclusion the crimegoes up when civilia n gunownership goes down." In Ver-mnnt, ivith a hunting licence rate

of 33,000 per 100,000 there is a" serious crime rate " of only700 per 100,000 residents ; but inNew York with a licence ratioof only 3,800 per 100,000, thecrime rate is 2,400. That Ver-mont is rural and empty is notmentioned.Abstract case

More extraordinary is a heavyabstract case argued in the samemagazine which explains that thesecond Amendment to the Con-stitution—conferrin g the right tobear arms—"is to prevent therise of an armed elite super iorto the avera ge man." It goes onr," Preve ntative controls designedto proscribe an inert act on theground s that it only may resultin crime are no more tha n thinlydisguised Bills of Atta inder. "

Explaining that a bin ofattainder condemns without trialfor specific offences groupsthought in general to be hostileto society, the author , James L.Glackin, says " six million Jewswent to the Nazi gas chambers ona Bill of Attainder signed by

Adolf Hitler." From here MrGlackin goes on to invokeAristotle.

Summer city riots were morefeared by some American gunauthorities than another politicalassassination attempt as thebringer oi gun controls. "H thesummer remains fairly peaceful ,"¦says the magazine , " there is stilla good chance that controls willcentre on mafl-ordsT hand gunsand on stiffer penalties for theirmisuse. Pitched battles in thestreets , however , would probabl yresult in licensing and registrartion of all firearms. "

Viewed from America Britain '*gun rules seem very harsh.Certificates are issued to land-owners and farmers to controlvermin and other wild life, orfor sport. Otherwise , the mainroute to a certificate Is throughclub membership from which anassessment of competence can beobtained , which helps t&e policeto decide on an applicant' s suit-ability. But sportsmen here-even some who endorse theNEA's efforts in America —do notfind aur rules too restrictive.

shooting incidentsIn a special article in the

" Sun " on Tuesda y, JonAkass wrote :

Most of the 50 or soAmericans who will get shot onthis fine day will die wdtii sur-prise frozen on their faces.Almost as if death by shoot-ing were a rare calam ity inAmerica.

Actually, It is a perfectl yrouttoe way to go. Some19,000 die by the bullet everyyear. Of these, about half aremurdered—usually by a closeand fond member of their ownfamily. The rest are accidentsand suicides. Slaughter on thisscale needs equipment andorganisation : America hasboth.

There are more guns inAmerican homes than in thecombined armed Services ofAmerica , Russia , and theNATO countries : a total of upto 200 million firearms inprivate hands.

The organisation is provide dby the National Rifle Associa-tion of Anrerica—a n associa-tion compounded of humbugand cynicism, with a tra ceperhaps of downright greed,who have earned the grudgingrespect of their opponents, whocan recognise a smart outfitwhen they see one.

The NBA were founded in1871 by a group of northernofficers distressed by the poorstan dard of marksmanship dis-played in the civil war.

For nearly a century theyhave stood firm , defending theind efensible , as generations ofAmericans have been cartedoff to the morgue. Chiselledinto the marble walls of their£1, 500,000 office block ia cen-tral Washington ia an extractfrom the second amendm entto the American Constitution." The right of the people tokeep and bear arms shall notbe infringed."

The second amendmentactually reads : "A well-regu-late d militia being necessaryto the security of a free state ,the right of the people,etc. . . . "

The US has a well regulatedmilitia in the form of thepolice and the National Guard.The million members of theNRA, who no longer have toprotect themselves againsimarauding Indians , are no suchthing. Inside , you meet peoplewith honest names like Joe andPete and Jim who tell youabout the weekend they spentfishing or shooting.

The Na t i o n a l Riflemer

recently ran an article headed," Happiness Is A Warm Gun."This magazine opposed theBill from the start and ur gedits readers to write to theirCongressmen. The letters camein by the hundreds ofthousands , and they revealeda dartaiess in tlie Americansoul abusive and sometimesobscene.

It is sot surprising thatsome Congressmen weredaunted by these lettersbecause It was cle.ar that theAmerican obsession with gunswas rooted In darker ,regionsthan the simple attachment ofan honest man to healthyoutdoor sport

Yet they were written by asmall minority of theAmerican people—80 per centof Americans polled recentlywere in favour of the strongestp o s s i b l e restrictions onfirearms.

But the gunmen are a power-ful minority, including bankpresidents and high executivesof the Mg corporations. Forthem, possession of a gun hassomehow got mixed up withtheir notion of manhood andmasculinity. To disarm themwould be to castrate them : afate that they fear, fairlynaturally, worse than death.

Premiers'shock andhorror'The host of messages

expressing sympathy andsense of horror sent to MrsEobert Kennedy yesterdayincluded one from Mr HaroldWilson.

A telegram r. relayed by theBritish Embassy ia Washingtonsaid: " Mary and I heard Urnsmorn ing's news with i deep shockand horror. Our prayers arewith you." A message from SirStewart , the Foreign Secretar y,spoke of " this tra gic and sense-less outra ge." j

The shootin g ,,'as also des-cribed as " senseless" by SirAlec Douglas-Home; the Con-servative Part y's chief spokes-man on foreign affairs , at a meet-ing of Tory women 'ait Bast KM-bride. Suggesting that a messagego out from them', he said :" Indeed , we send a| message ofsympath y to the whole Americanpeople." |

Lord Wade, president of theLiberal Part y, coupled sympathywith " shock and hor ror at theuse of the gun which periodicallyshatters Ameruoaa politics. Theright to bear arms . . . is notreally a freedom but a potentialabuse of freedom. "Pope's appeal

President de Valera of Irelandtold the Kennedy family lie was" deeply gpi-erod to hear of thewicked attempt an yourhusband' s life. May God spareMm to you, to Ms family, and tohiis countr y."

The Pope , at his weekly audi-ence in St Peter's, said he hopedthat the indignation ' sweepingthe world would "be succeededby a common will to ban methodsof violence, of dissent , of conflict ,and of murder. "

Moscow was exceptional in thestndent political tone of itsreliction. A commentator on theradio there put the blame forthe shootin g on the " notoriousfreedom of capitalist society—the freedom to kill." He calledthe shootin g a " political crime ,"tied it to the " irresponsibleconnivance of the authorities ,"linked it to the war in Vietnamand civil rights, and hinted that" extremist ultra-Ri ght "orces . . .supported by the reactionaryruling quarters in Washington "were involved.

Campaign to swing

Government leftwardsBy IAN ATTKEN

A Left-wing campaign is launched today to lead theLabour Party and Government back to the paths • ofsocialism and political democracy by destroying "theirresponsible power of the private controllers." _ -,

Taking the name of the nineteenth century Chartists,the organisation seeks mass membership within the Labourand trade union movementand wants to influence partypolicy and get "Chartists"elected to local and nationaloffice andi parliamentarycandidatures.

Its eight-point "SocialistCharter," signed by assortedLabour MPs, trade union leaders,Left-wing peers, -writers, andacademies, seems certain torevive Kight-wing protests of " aparty within a party." The lastorganisation of its kind," Victoryfor Socialism," stimulated acounter-organisation on the Rigfatand was wound up only whenLabour came to power in 1964.

The charter declares: " TheGovernment must govern. Notthe Treasury, or the City, ororganised business, or the Inter-national Monetary Fund, or theState Department."Eight points

The charter's eight points are :Economic Independence by fur-

ther arms cut& mobilisation o£p rivate assets' abroad ; strict con-trol over capita l'export s and selec-tive import controls ;-more Social-ist • planning, 'ptfblic " ownership,and public enterprise ;¦ redistribu-tion of wealth through taxationartd control of profits and prices;full public accountability of priv-ate and public institutions andworkers ' participation in decisionmaking. no discrimination of anykind: an independent f o r e i g npolicy based on disarmament andthe. war on hunger , .with supportfor revolutionary forces; and "aSocialist and democratic " labourParty as an-instrument of popularcontrol. - ¦The charter does not criticise

the Government directly, butremarks that millions who votedfor a new Britain have been"deeply disappointed and dis-illusioned." It says that Labourvoters have discovered tha$power has not changed hands,and warns that the Labour move-ment is in danger of permanentdamage as a result of spreadingdespair.

Motorway'threat toPeak Park'By GEOFFREY WHTTELEYTiiere - are three main

threats to the . beattty andcharacter "of the Peak District,says the Sheffield and PeatDistrict branch of the'Councilfor the Preservation of RuralEngland. Its annual' reportstrongly criticises ' proposalsfor building a, motorway overthe-Woodhead Passyfox creat-ing two new reservoirs, andfor doubling the output of acement works. , ,„>• •

The report says that' .tfce pro-posed1 motorway would-'be only12 miles ¦sonth 'ot anarroughlyparallel to tfie M62,'.how underconstruction. It would,",' destro ythe character- of the ^Voodhea tlPass and would separate Bleak-low and Derwent moors fromthe, Blacfchfll'-T area. • ~

The btaaclt- is glad that theMinister of"-Transport is to seeif pressure can be taken offroads through the Peak NationalPark by building high-qualityroads to the north and south of•t- , .Other sources

The water schemes which thebranch is worried about areplans -by the Trent BiverAuthority for two reservoi rs inthe Derwent" and Dove catch-ment areas; seven passible sitesare said to be under consider-ation. "

Recalling that the Peak ParkPlanning Board »had ' alreadydecided that there should be nofurther large-scale flooding ofriver valleys until all othersources of supply bad been fullyexploited, the report says thatevery m e t h o d of~ , scientificresearch should be used-to findalternative supplies.

Nor is the branch happy aboutproposals to increase the outputof a cement works in tie HopeValley, which is to .become thethird largest of its IdnrJ in thecountry, in spite of statementsby the company that shale andlimestone workings will be keptwithin e x i s t i ng permittedboundaries.

A parallel between the con-tribution made by Parliamentand by the trade union move-ment to other countries, wasdrawn by the Queen in herspeech to the Trades Union Con-gress centenary banquet atGuildhall , London , last nightThe TUC was now recognised asa force which radiated itsinfluence in many o t h e rcountries , the Queen said.

" Just as the Briti sh legisla-ture is rightly regarded as ' themother of parliaments. ' so theBritish trade union movement ,as the oldest is the world, hasfurnished the principles uponwhich the workers of manyother countries , and especiallythe developing nations, havebuilt their own unions, and thelinks which have long beenestablished between them owemuch to the sustained supportgiven by the TUC."

Perhaps in Britain we couldregard ourselves—without toomuch conceit—as having an artfor give and take. This foundexpression , both in our politicalinstitutions and in industrialrel ations , and in trade unionbranches and committees , andin t h e i r negotiations withemployers , trade unionists haddistinguished themselves in thisart.

Picture of William Bernbach by Peter Johns

BY TERRY COLEMAN

WILLIAM BERNBACH, aged 56, eyes blue," 5ft. 7in., 1551b., hair once blond now grey,educated in the public schools of New York City,is an adman. His own public relations people sayhe is the most powerful man in American adver-tising. He did the memorable campaign in whichAvis Rent A Car candidly said they were secondto Hertz and would serve you better just becausethey were only the runners-up, anxious to makea name. He did the television, commercial forVolkswagen in which a man walks through deepsnow from Ms house to his Eeatle, starts it f i r s tgo, 'and drives off while a voice asks if you haveever wondered how the man who drives the snow-plough gets to the snowplough.

He is a Democrat. He did the advertising forLBJ in the presidential campaign of 1964, andnow he is doing Humphrey's. Yesterday he wasin London, at the new gallery of modern art inthe Mall, to present this year's awards made bythe Designers' and Art Directors' Association.

At the end of the gallery, past the 150 orso little gilt chairs and all the fine white table-cloths being assembled for an admen's lunch byLondon at Home caterers, past the cigaretteskindly given by W. D. and H. O. Wills, the graphicsof the year were displayed. Salvation Armyposters asking you to care ; Heinz bean cans ;Pretty Folly ads, very pretty, but really sellinggirl rather than stockings ; and lots of layoutsfrom " New Society," " Nova," and the " SundayTunes." Outside, waiting in three tin baths ofthe kind very fashionable these days in D. H.

Lawrence plays, lots of bottles of champagne. Inthe gallery's cinema, Mr Bernbach being askedto watch selected television ads.

They were an ordinary lot—teacher beingawarded the CDM (Cadbury's Dairy Milk), andothers not even bad enough to be remembered.But there was also Arthur the. television catdemonstrating to attentive kittens,the way to eatKattomeat. What did Mr Bernbach think of thecommercials ? Forgive him, he thought they werepoor. But what about Arthur ? Competent, hesaid, and he liked the kittens, bu t . . . But hadn'the heard in America that Arthur had been kid-napped and got in the papers day after day ?Mr Bernbach had not heard, but smiled anadman's smile at the delightful, selling thought 'of it.

What were the attributes of' a good ad ?Soundness, and beauty, and vitality, and energy.He sounded as if he were defining the qualitiesof a good wife. And honesty ? That went withoutsaying. And, he said, good taste. What did thatmean ? Well, not too much sex. What about thePretty Polly stocking ads then, which were enter-taining all right, but entertained the eye withgirl's pants and girls inside them ? " The thingthey're selling," he said, " does really relate tothe leg. Sometimes sex is brought in from thelef t Beld as they say."

Then he talked about himself. He majoredin English in 1932 and this, in the slump, qualifiedhim for a job as office Boy with a distillers. Buthe wrote an ad for American Cream whiskey,the company used it, and he got his break. Thenhe worked promo-ting the 1939 New York World'sPair, and as a ghost writer for the mayor of New

York and the Governor of NY State. After thewar he wrote copy, then helped to form the DoyleDane Bernbach agency, and so through RheingoldBeer and Levy's Jewish Eye Bread to the gloriesof Avis Rent A Car.

Bernbach's original idea, what other admanwould call his Unique Selling Proposition, is thatadvertising is an art, not a science. These daysmost people believe him, and everybody applaudsanyway when he warns them, say, against ''medi-cine-man claims that advertising is a science."Research alone, he says, won't give you a greatidea. The idea and the words matter, but eventhey alone are not enough. As President Johnsontold him: " It isn't enough to say the right things.You've got to say them so that they're felt."

After an adman's lunch of consomme caviaren gel§ and Pouilly Louche and so on, Mr Bern-bach rose to address rows of gilt admenand adwomen sitting on those little gilt chairs.He mentioned that a survey once had shown that85 per cent of all ads were ignored. " It wasn'tso much whether the American public loved us:they didn't even hate us. We were going aboutboring them with great efficiency." But times hadchanged.

Then he returned to his favourite theme.Only writers and artists could touch people andmove'them. He spoke of intuition and instinct,in which he believes with passion. It's unusualfor a reporter to agree with an adman—even withan adman who tells him he's working for a " veryfine paper "—'but Bembach is right, and he mightas well have been speaking about newspapers,which badly need a bit less efficiency and a bitmore instinct.

Saying therightthings sothey're felt

LAST night the Pesaro International' -Festival of New Cinema was violently

—and- perhaps permanently—interruptedby a display of police brutality the likeof which I have only seen in films like" Potemkin." Th-; " Siege of Pesaro " as theItalians are calling it may be smaU potatoescompared with all that has been happeningin Paris and Rome, but I don't think ithas been equalled anywhere ;in'-WesternEurope for the disparity between the. lackof provocation and the monstrousness ofthe attack. ' ¦ - - ¦.- - -

From the very beginning of the week, thespectre that has been haunting EuropeanFilm Festivals made its appearance inPesaro. A misguided attempt on the partof local students -to stop the opening ofthe f estival was easily coped with, however.It was made quite clear to them that ofall festivals Pesaro is the least dominatedby industry, the least socialite, the least

noon there was a screening of "The Timeof Furnaces " an effective, if somewhatflashily executed, Argentinian film againstneocolonialism. This was followed by acall for a meeting in the town square toexpress solidarity with the French intheir struggle against de Gaulle ; actually,the meeting was more a local affair withthe festival only taking a marginal part

It all ' began peacefully enough. Thepolice—that is to say the carabinieri —lined up on one side of the Piazza delPopolo, the manifestos on the other , andthen- a .little squabble broke out—somesay provoked by the Fascist sympathiserswho were spread out along the sides of thesquare. Valentino Orsini, a youngish mild-mannered film director was arrested.When this became known about 100people, the most committed among thefestivalers made a sit-down protest in thecorner of the square, chanting "Che CheChe Guevara " etc. Around them wereabout 1,000 onlookers.

Then the police began to move. Theystarted up their 3 jeeps, shifted into firstgear, and then waited while a strange ritualteak place : a policeman came forward andblew 3 notes on a trumpet : another mean-while announced through a loud hailerthat the population was "invited " todisperse. People started to run—and Isoon found out why. Apparently

once those three notes are sounded thepolice (and I report, it is the earabinderiI am talking about), who take their ordersfrom Rome, not the pleasant local policewho depend on the mayor) feel freed fromall restraint, and as It turned out from allvestiges of civilisation., Then the jeeps charged—there is noother word for it—the sit down strikers.They began to run as the jeeps bore downon them : having thus achieved their aimof clearing them off. you would think thepolice would stop. But no, they began tocircle round and round the Piazza, chasing,hunting down anyone they could get atBystanders, tourists, journalists, anyonewho was there and could not run fastenough was brutally clubbed, or worsestill, crushed by the jeeps against thewalls.

Then tear gas bombs were thrown. Ayoung woman was clubbed to the groundand while she was lying there, kicked andbeaten, the mos.t terrifying thing—apartfrom the sheer stomach-aching panic ofthose jeeps on the prowl—was the gratui-tous unprovoked nature of the attack. If

excuse that the students were throwingpaving stones or setting up barricades.Here there were just those 100 peoplesitting down on the pavement like so manyboy scouts round a campfire. To attackthem was vicious. To go into the filmtheatre where no one was doing anything,to throw tear gas bombs, and then to clubthose who tried to escape was, well—Fascist

Some say thai the whole affair wasdeliberately worked up by the presentGovernment in Rctae to embarrass the Left-wing mayor and-his festival. It may wellbe. Something has to explain the horrorof what happened. Miraculously, no onewas killed: about 70 were hurt. Thismorning 19 people are in jail. In anextraordinary general meeting, all thefestival participants agreed not to leavetown until their colleagues are released.Other means of protest are being investi-gated. What the outcome will be, no oneknows. But fresh in everyone's mind, andcertainly in mine, -i s that Cossack-likemotorised charge. In our happily melior-ist civilised island we tend to forget whatthe rest of the -world is all about. If suchthings can happen in this sleepy Adriaticresort town, what is in store for Europe,for the world, during what looks to be along hot summer ?

the police had not charged, those 100people would have sung a few more songsand then gone home quietly. Butapparently violence was being activelysought. In Paris there was at least the

glamorous. It was, and is, a workingfestival and one that has been dominatedby Centre-Left tendencies. This year, forexample, a whole panorama of Cuban filmswas announced : three have already beenshown. The students, convinced, held outfor free entrance to the festival : this wasaccorded, and all began very well with abrilliant Cuban film "Memoirs of Under-development".

Trouble began yesterday. In the after-

JL O.C Iw-'OSSclCJCS' §0 1H. 3X JL CSSUTO by richard roud

rilELEVISION was quick off the markJL yesterday with reports on the shootingof Senator Robert Kennedy. BBC-1 had a"Twenty-four Hours Special " from 6 30to 7, Independent Television News had its"News at Ten " team at work ffrom 7 to7 30, and BBC-2's "Newsroom" from 7 30to 8 was given over mainly to the shooting.In fact, I started watching television at1 p.m., with the regular BBC-1 afternoonnews broadcast and then saw two specialafternoon news programmes on BBC-1.

Still, the news coverage, especially onthe BBC, was unsatisfactory. Perhaps thisis only a natural reaction at such a time¦when one is so eager for news that eventhe most detailed report would not seemenough . Nevertheless , television seemedto leap at easy angles. One heard immedi-ately ao out the sickness of Americansociety; the rule of violence and otherfamiliar phrases were churned out withthat marvellous authority that only readersof paperback books on sociology canmuster. And this seemed rather cheap,especially when one did not know who thegunman was. Later, at the very end ofthe "Twenty^four Hours Special " weheard that the gunman had a weird Arar*.sounding name, and then on the ITNspecial we heard the gunman was dark-skinned, born in Jerusalem and only fivefoot tall. He hardly seemed like the realail-American boy, fflie underground psycho-path bent on wreaking crazy revenge a laLee Harvey Oswald on the glamorous, richand powerful Senator. While I write thisI have no idea who Sirhan Sirhan is butif he is, say, a Palestinian Arab or some-thing as untypical of American society, hisshooting of Senator Kennedy (has nothingto do with the supposed sickness ofAmeri can society or Indee d even mailorder gun's, which was the other anglemost desperately plumbed last evening.

The point Is that the BBC seemed toleap at the first angle that came to hand.It must foe said that the ITN special con-tained more real news. While the BBC's"Twentytfour Hours Spceial " containedlittle more than a biography of theKennedy tragedies and hand-wrin'girrg from

Anthony Lewis of " The New York Times "and "Twenty-four Hours'" own RobertMcKenzie, ITN had an Interesting inter-view with a brain surgeon who told uswhat Kennedy's chances of recovery were.Certainly the most important avenues .toexplore were the condition of the Senatorand the identity of the gunman and hispossible reasons for shooting. The qualityor the film on ITN was also superior tothe BBC's. JTN mews ram the CBSreport (we saw it by satellite at- the sametime as Americans were seeing it) andthe CBS commentary was cool and informa-tive ; or, at least, cooler and more informa-tive than the BBC's man on the spot,Gerald Priestland, could manage. Thelesson woulld seem to be that no amountof satellites and communications hook-upscan make up for a teck of news sense.

" Twenty-four Hours " certainly made upfor this earlier lack of news when" it cameon at 10 15 with a tape recording of areporter who was actually interviewing toeSenator when he was shot. At the sametune UTTs regular,' News at Ten" was notso good, though It did .lead off' with theidentification of the gunman., ShirhanShirhani is, after all, a Jordanian Arab nowliving in California ; but the importanceof the gunman's nationality seemed never-theless to escape ITN—and everyone else.One would have thought it was allimportant; it would seem to free Americaof at least some of the cultural "guilt thather enemies 1 and her overly melodramaticfriends are now laying at iher feet "Newsat Ten " reflected this hysterical attiturewith its street interviews wita overwrought

.Americans outside the Grosvehor Squareembassy, £nd witih an finterview -with Mr

; Sammy Davis, On. Neither ' BBC-l's -teno'clock n-ews, -with Mr Priestland talkingtransaflantically albout "the reign ofviolence," nor "Twenty-four - Hours"seemed able to lay off •the yiolent society.Not until the last minute of " Twenty-fourHours" did we hear that Kennedy, theSenator from the state waUb. the largest

^ Jewish vote in the country, was shot by anArab who held him responsible for thepresent situation in Israel.

THE FOUNDATIONS at the Arts Theatreby Philip Hope - Wallace

AT THE Arts Theatre in Great NewportStreet, Campbell Allen digs up " The

Foundations," a social satire of 1916 which,without foreknowledge, you might ascribeto Bernard Shaw in his "Heartbreak 'House " manner or Barrie in the mood of"The Admirable Crichton." It would seemto be an answer to the hypothetical question11 What will it be like after the Great War,flaaay ?" THe two nations of England con-front one another over some business aboutan anarchist's bomb and an inquiry intoconditions of sweated labo ur. On one sidethe fatuous aristocrats and their flunkies,on the other, the practical poor with theirgrievances. •

The manner is jokey yet, with hindsightthe play strikes us as being quite percep-tive as prophesy. But the strangest thing -is that the author turns out to be noneother than the humanitarian and often over-serious John Galsworthy ihaving, as the pro-gramme note puts it, a "night off." The

waggish style of the period, is excellentlyrendered by a email cast which includesMary Merrall as a cheerful old grannywho speaks up for sweated labour, Henryher son (Mark York) who encounters thequality in his capacity as a plumber andwhose ballcock is assumed to be a bomb,John Boxer and James Conrad as thestarchy but humorous menials on the- staffof a conciliatory 1 peer (Emrys Jones), andvarious fanciful ladies including a oncefamous Gamine, the little Aida (JulieBooth) .

The confrontation produces some mildlydisturbing social argument Ite lack of indig-nation makes it seem as dated, as theoldest joke in "Punch" but its moral,"Don't forget .that the ,foundations ofsociety are the toiling masses," is not theless effective for being administered in abolus of good nature. This forgotten play isquite unimportant hut it makes a nicelittle collector's piece.

UNCLE VANYA at the Everyman Theatre, Liverpool .. • -by Gillian Reynolds , .rjiHE Everyman's best-known comic style•"¦ is boisterous, Inventive, aggressive Inthe past season in productions of "Charley'sAunt," "The Knight of the BurningPestle," and "The Alchemist," they haveproved the validity and appeal of such anapproach. In "Tchin-Tchin" and "GreenJ ulia " the company demonstrated theircapacity to create a deeper comic mood,more reflective and humane. In "Uncle ¦Vanya '-' the whole cast interpret this other icomic"vein with exquisite intensity.

Chekhov's comedy is one of character, -the drama springs from interplay betweenthe hope and the frustration in each of theindividuals, Serebriakov (Anthony Boden)and his beautiful young second wife (Hilde-gard Neill) have descended on theircountry estate and imposed their own bore-dom and dissatisfaction on the entire house-hold. Vanya (Stuart JBichman) who managesthe estate, is hopelessly in love with thewife and she also attracts the countrydoctor Astrov (Alan Scarfe), who is adored,again hopelessly by Serebriakov's daughterSonia (Alison Fiske).

Caught up in this emotional web, eachof the country characters, for a while letsgo the control of his orderly life. The leasthint of overplaying, of overinflation of thesituation, would destroy the true ironic

mood, topple it into inconsequentialmelodramatics. Peter James, however,directs with perfect realisation of 'this,, sothat exactly the right atmosphere is createdall the way'through. '

The acting of the whole cast is highlycommendable but in particular AlisonFiske, Alan Scarfe, and Stuart Eiohmanstand out. Miss Fisfce makes Sonia entirely' credible and comprehensible in i-_perf orm-ance of great delicacy - and'-- movingsensitivity. Mr Searfe ,-in--wlioser "aebf weall are for a' brilliant year at "the Every-man, • plays with extraordinary!' maturityand control. Mr Richman gives us a. Vanyaof slightly grotesque pathos, bringing butthe clumsiness and the passion-'and theweakness with increasing effect HildegardNeill, as'Yeliena, looks quite magnificentstalking the. close confines of the living-room, flashing her beautiful eyes, andtossing her towering raven coiffure. Onecan quite see the appeal of what Vanyacalls her "mermaid blood," in her exoticand destructive presence. Anthony Bodenas Serebriakov and Bill Stewart as Wafflesboth contribute neatly balanced studies inpomposity and subservience respectively.All in all, it is a fine, indeed a beautiful,production distinguished in its interpreta-tion and in the high standard of itsperformance. , - „,' ' "

FS hard enough to get children into nurseryschools at the best of times. It's virtually

impossible when the child is handicapped, whenhe has to be constantly watched to make surehe's hot hurting himself or anyone else, whenhe's dirty and when he can't grasp what play-Ing is all about.. Most mothers can loot forward to their

children being given formal lessons in socialliving from the age -of £ve. All but the luckiestmothers of handicapped children have anothertwo years to cope with. The strains on thefamily are huge : the eSect on the child can beto make the difficult worse. Mentally handi-capped children, especially, tend to get used tobeing at home with their mother. They aren'tused to being without her, to being with otherchildren, and when they get whisked ofi totraining centres—or to hospitals—their onesecurity has gone. •

For over a year, Stevenage has been tryingto help. Twice a week, a group of volunteersthere runs an Opportunity Class for handicappedchildren. It is very noisy, good and messy. Thechildren paint, they dabble with sand, they tearup and down slides. In fact, they play—and forsome of them this is already a pretty large lessonlearnt.

Exercise la sel£ helpThe class started, like so many other good

things, as an impatient exercise in self-help. Amotfier with a mentally handicapped childarrived in the district, and was furious that there•was nothing for her child to do until he startedat a training centre.

She met a couple of other mothers, recon-ciled to being tied to the house and their sub-normal children, bolstering resentment andnnhappiness with a determined stock of patience.The class got born, and now ' there are 18children in it, with handicaps ranging fromspin a bifida to the gross subnorma'lity that comesfrom chromosome deficiency. It is affiliated tothe local society for mentally handicappedchildren, and has an energetic young doctor asits chairman. A local nursery school lends itshall and toys, and—as important—keeps an eyeon the children to see whether any of them can

benefit from the regular nursery classes. At themoment, three of the handicapped children goto normal classes as well : before the Oppor-tunity Class they might still have been at home.

Dr Faulkner, the chairman, has been diffidentabout publicity until now. He wanted to makesure he was on the right lines before he startedshowing other mothers what -could be done. Hehas mixed his handicaps, Which some would arguewith. H-e has determinedly brought normal chil-dren into the class, because it's good for themand the handicapped children, too. It seems towork : the normal children don't either make wayfor the others or bully them out of the sandpitOnly one little yirt asked with ghoulish interest tosee the " handicaps " : Dr Faulkner reckons shehad been listening to her parents and says shewas pretty disappointed when she found out shehad been playing with the "handicaps" allafternoon.

You don't get the most dramatic of resultsin this sort of work. The deaf don't suddenlystart to (hear, nor the crippled to walk. A childwithout a bit of chromosome doesn't suddenlyacquire it just because toe's been playing withchildren who've got their Lot. But you do getimprovement. Paul tugs your sleeve impatientlyand you're tipped off that he wants you to drawballoons—lots and lots of them. "When he firstearme to the class he wouldn't show -anyjawarenessof other people. He wouldn't draw, he wouldonly sit ¦where he was put. Now, he walks, hetries to eomiminieate—and with a total stranger.He has taken up drawing in a determined way.His mother is thrilled.

John used to drive his family to distraction.He's over-active in a way that makes you feelexhausted just to look at him. He beat the placeup for the first couple of months, but now,although he still makes the voluntary helpers—one per couple of children—and the nurserynuTse in charge raise their eyes to the ceiling andtheir hands to his arms, he plays most of the time.The children don't play together—but perhapsyou add " yet" to that.

handicapped child can be. He still has patientswho will not send their children to the classes outof sheer shame—and perhaps because they areconvinced it cannot help. They do not like to seethe words " Mental Welfare " on the mini-van thatcollects the children , because then the streetwould know. Of course the street knows already,but the mothers pretend not and shut themselvesand theirj child up, ashamed to ask anyone tomind it because it is so dirty, or so repulsive, orsuch a reflection on themselves.

These are mothers who dread welfare clinicsbecause the other mothers are talking aboutthings like walking and first words. One childcame a couple-of times to the class and then didnot cornel back : his fattier refused to accept hewas a mongol and his mother, who had had twoafternoons a week out of the house and incompany,! thought she had failed her husbandenough, so agreed that the child was fine, andthat she liked staying'at home with him all day.

things weigh on them. The first, of course, isthe sheer misery of having produced a less thanaverage child. The second is the lack of helpthey get with adjusting to it. Doctors refuse toexplain what is wrong, won't say what thefuture is likely to bring. Local authorities don'texplain properly what schooling or training isavailable. The mothers are left wondering, notknowing how to bring the child out, what sortof games they should try to coax him with.

These are all questions the OpportunityClass tries to answer. While the children areplaying downstairs the mothers meet upstairs.They chat about their children, compare notes,admit the things they would hide from motherswith ordinary offspring. They can ask about thehandicaps—Dr Faulkner is now running a seriesof briefings on what has been made for thedeformities. Once a month they have a sessionwith a welfare officer supplied by the localauthority. They learn a lot of practical things andthey get;a lot of help. But to be there at all theyhave learnt a very important lesson : they havelearnt that the child will be all right without them.At first , they say, they fretted and went down-stairs all afternoon to check. Now, they just godown if the child is miserable. The child islearning to do without their constant presence.

The sort of help the class offers can attractpeople that no one expected at all. One childthere is 'the normal offspring of physically handi-capped parents. They couldn't get around fastenough to keep an eye on him, and at 18 monthshe spent his days in a playpen, shut in a furyof frustration. Now, he can mix with other chil-dren and develop as he should. His motherlearns as much at the class about how normalchildren should be brought up as other mothersdo about their handicapped ones.

The class seems to work. Dr Faulkner hasjust been getting in touch with, national organisa-tions who might be interested to see whetherthe idea can't be spread. Anyone who's inter-ested should write to Mrs H. Hill, the class's secre-tary, atj 1 Tillers link, Stevenage, Hertfordshire.

As important as the help the children aregetting is the help for their mothers. In fact, DrFaulkner would put the effect on the mothersfirst. He's seen enough among patients to knowquite how embittering and deadening life with a

A NOTHER great b\g daunting bookabou t fashion by an American

university professor . . . it was withreluctance that I approached " TheWhy of Fashion. " by Karlyne Anspaoh(Iowa State University Press)."Using an interdisciplinary approachDr Anspach applies concepts fromsocial psychology, sociology, econo-mics, and communications to theclothing area and integrates theseconcepts with current research andsocial-mstorical facts." Tough going,one feared, in " the fields of appare]design and consumption economics."But in fact Dr Anspach has writtena most enlightening exposition of theway fashion works in America, andof the American way of dressing.

This is a book which must interestanyone involved in exporting clothes—or hoping to [ export—-to America.fVnd it should interest all journalis tsreporting upon the internationalfashion scene. Our American contacts ten d to be New Yorkers at thetop of their professions, be it glossyfashion editors, dress designers.manufacturers, or peopl e in retaildistribution ; but through this hookon-e can comprehend something of thewhole vast United States operation ,and of the social background of themass millions who buy clothesDr Anspach knows this backgroundShe has had practical experience asa designer for the Nelly Don DressCompany in Kansas City. Her under-graduate work in textiles and cloth-ing was at Iowa State University; shetook her M.A. in these subjects atColumbia, her Ph.D. research was althe University of Chicago's School ofSocial Sciences ; at present she is aprofessor in the " apparel designarea " at the University of Illinois,and also conducts a graduate seminaron "Why We Dress as We Do."

Why do Americans dress as the>do ? It is all in this hook , which isdivided into three parts : fashion asa social need, as an eeonomic com-modity, as a symbol of American lifeThe paradox of American fashion isthat a comparatively young, youth-worshipping-country is yet extremelyconservative in fashion, clinging

laithfully to "classic" styles, pro-ducing virtually no creative design-ing of its own but traditionally draw-ing Its fashion from outside—firstfrom England , then later fromFrance. It is a country, Dr Anspachtells us, where "growing old grace-fully is seldom cultivated ," wherethere is a " smart to be sixty market,"and where the middle-aged customeris not treated as a member of aspecial group but simply as one ofthe girls with a sizing problem.

Yet, she says, many of the traitsof Victoria's England are still con-served in the great middle class oftwentieth century America. Again,it is a country where youth is takingover numerically : " In 1960 theaverage American was around 33years old. By 1968 the mid-age willhave dropped to 25 or lower ; by1970 one out of every three Ameri-cans is likely to be in school." Yetthey live m a middle-class era -withmiddle-class restrictions — moral,mental, and physical.

Clothing selection is taught inschools, and standards are developedwhich, if followed, will insure" correct " (approved by publicopinion) taste. Whereas a trulycreative dress designer is ahead ofpublic taste, giving the people whatthey want before they know theywant it, American designers find outby market research what people thinkthey want, which is usually some-

thing very like they have had before—and then make it.

In 1931 Paul Poiret wrote, "Butwhat is charm to an American ?Everything is utility or necessity.They do not know how to invent thesuperfluous which, for us, is moreindispensable than the necessary."And it is not surprising that of today'sParisian couturiers, Guy Laroche isone of the most successful in sellingmodels to America for copying : hespent two years on Seventh Avenuedesigning collections for severalAmerican manufacturers before open-ing his couture house in Paris.

The way in Which America hasresolved her paradox of youth andconservatism is in the developmentof " casual " clothes. The casual lookbegan in the 1920s with the popularityof sports and the revolt of youth. Itwas 'helped by the economic depres-sion of the 1930s and the Chanelinfluence from Paris, and receivedfurther impetus during the SecondWorld War. Today, casual dressing isthe insignia of prosperous middle-classsuburbanites as well as of high schooland college students. Sports clothes,English in origin, were made morecolourful in America ; and spectatorsports clothes are entirely an Ameri-can conception. It1 is these spectatorsports clothes that constitute most ofthe casual dress of today, and with thevogue in America for suburban livingfollowing the Second World War, it

has been adopted by mnltitudes whopreviously dressed more formally.

The college student is the first toadopt casual styles once they havebeen introduced ; but when worn bymature people they bridge the gapbetween various age groups. Sports-wear classics and outfits witb aninformal air are youthful to look at,yet conservative in cut. Simple indesign, they can be changed in colour,fabric, and detail sufficiently to satisfythe demand for fashion, yet they fitsmoothly into a mass-production sys-tem. Dr Anspach concludes : " Notbeautiful but "functioning,1 the Ameri-can in casual dress goes everywhere... reflecting the conservatism of herPuritan heritage, combined with theeffects of mobility and democracy, sheis a focus of the American ethic...a curious phenomenon intriguing iowatch, she is often misunderstood butseldom mislatrelled as America'smajor con t r i b u t i o n to theInternational fashion scene."

No one at this confusing point infashion history would make predic-tions with any confidence. But I willhazard that when all the minis andmaxis, the neo-1930s and the Vic-torian revivals have had their day,it may well De the casual yet well-groomed American way of dressing,so fitted to modern life, that bridgesthe great divide now existing inEngland between young clothes andthe rest.

Dallas — and now Los AngelesYesterday's shooting in Los Angeles is one

more tragedy for this generation, of Kennedysand for this generation of Americans. TheKennedy family has already suffered morebereavement than seems credible. The assassina-tion of President Kennedy was, it appeared, theultimate tragedy. Robert Kennedy had alreadylost his eldest brother in the war, and his sister,Kathleen, in an air crash in 1948, Edward barelysurvived a similar crash in 1965. Robert wonderedseriously after Dallas whether he should not with-draw from public life. Now this senseless act ofviolence has probably settled the issue for him.

Whether he will survive at all still hangsin the balance. Whether he survives in full com-mand of his faculties seems barely possible.Paralysis, it is true, did not stop FranklinRoosevelt from campaigning for and winning thePresidency. Yet t&e family pressure on RobertKennedy to withdraw will probably be intense.His time might still come, though there seemslittle chance of it.

But yesterday's shooting was more than apersonal tragedy and a political upheaval. It mustrevive many of the questions about Americansociety raised only two months ago when DrMartin Luther King was assassinated. It has, too,a terrible international aspect—for it seems likelyto have been an individual Arab's protest on theanniversary of the Arab-Israeli war. If Govern-ments can use violence, people feel fewerrvmst rnTnfK.

When Dr King died, it was asked whether thatkilling, and the shooting of President Kennedy,did not mean that a cult of political assassinationwas not growing stronger in the United States.Television has brought leading figures in thenation into much sharper focus for the ordinarycitizen. He can see and know their personalitiesmore intimately than ever before, and project onto them his frustration, anger, and eventually hishatred. Constantly exposed to view, controversialpublic figures probably arouse more indignationagainst themselves than ever before. At the sametime their accessibility makes them an easiertarget for the would-be assassin. Yet all this stillrequires the climate in which, an ordinary mandecides to become an assassin.

This, sadly, has always existed in the UnitedStates, as it has in South Africa where DrVerwoerd was its double victim. The lawlessnessin the United States is not extravagant by thestandards of much of the world. But for a countrywith its level of technical and educational advanceit is still disturbingly high. Almost 800,000Americans have died by shooting since 1900, morethan all the American dead in all the wars shehas fought There were more murders in Houston,Texas, last year than in the whole of this country.And as is now only too well known, the numberof firearms in private bands continues to grow.At least 27 million people own them. Twenty

times since President Kennedy's death, iiulswhich would limit the sales of firearms have diedin Congress. In a country where the endemicracialism, which file President's Riot Commissionhighlighted, is now breaking out into openviolence, private citizens will not wittinglygive up their weapons.

Where does an this leave the 1968 Presiden-tial race ? Had yesterday's tragedy not happened,Senator Kennedy would still have had a hardstruggle for the nomination. With less than halfthe vote, his victory in California was not decisive—especially after Oregon. Yet he could not havebeen glibly written off. Vice-President Humphreyhas certainly won the support of many of thedelegates in the nonprimary States. But withtwo and a half months before the nomination,an anti-Humphrey backlash might well havedeveloped on the ground that he won his support" undemocratically " via the party machine, andthat he has still not shown that he is a vote-winner. Senator Kennedy's victory in. Tuesday'sSouth Dakota primary may be more significant,indeed , than the one in California. Although MrHumphrey 's supporters campaigned vigorouslyfor a slate of delegates committed to theAdministration, the slate only won 31 per centof the vote, compared with 49 per cent for MrKennedy.

The absence of Senator Kennedy willhelp Senator McCarthy. He is now the only candi-date in the Democratic Party who opposes MrJohnson's record. All of Mr Kennedy's conventiondelegates will be automatically released by hisdeparture. Many of them will swing to MrMcCarthy. And there may well be a general movetowards him, even among the party bosses. Heis a much less divisive figure than SenatorKennedy. He was not favoured by them mainlybecause he did not seem a credible candidate.That has now changed. He is the only alternativeto Mr Humphrey. And the party delegates willremember that the latest polls showed that MrMcCarthy is the only Democrat who would beatMr Nixon. After yesterday's shooting—the worstsurprise in this campaign of surprises—thestrange sequel might yet be that Mr McCarthyruns off with the prize.

One thing is certain. After Senator Kennedyno successor will ever fully take his placefor many Americans, particularly among theunderprivileged. By the force of his characterhe had the ability to arouse fierce emotions. Thehatred which must have inspired yesterday'sgunman was outweighed a hundred times overby the devotion and loyalty of many Negro,Puerto Rican, and Mexican-American supporters,who saw in him a saviour. Intellectually, MrMcCarthy's position may be very similar on civillights. But as a charismatic figure, there is nocomparison. It was Robert who carried -hisbrother's torch. Its flame is now barely flickering.

An active principleAn extract from 'A Thousand Days by ArthurSchlesineer, iun. Published bv Andre Deutsch at 63s.

1I7HBN , to the general indig-*" nation of the Bar and thepress , he was appointedAttorney-General, he was widelyregarded as a ruthless a n dpower-hungry young man, devoidof principle or scruple , indiffer-ent to pensonal itreedom orputtie right , wlio saw Life inrigi-dily perso nal and morali sticterms, divide d people betweenthe " white hats " and the " blackhats ," and found his greatestpleasure in harassing his fellow-citizens.

A cluster of legends arose toreinfo rce this theory : thus hisfather was supposed to have said¦mith paternal pride , " Bobbyhates the same way I do." AndBobby 's public bearing — theominous manner , the knock-thechip-off-my-sho ulder look, thestony blue eyes, clenched teeth,tart monosyllabic tongue—didnot especially dispel the pictur eof a rough young man suddenlygiven national auth ority.

I fio not know of any case ineontsmporary American politicswhere there has seemed to me agreater discrepancy between themyth, and the man. The publictheory of Robert Kenne dy couldonly appear to those who knewhim, as James Wechsler later des-cribe d it, as a case of mistakenidentity. No doubt Robert' s firstpolitical heroes were HerbertHoover and Douglas MaeAr ihur ;no doubt he once consideredYalta a national betrayal ; nodoubt Ire regarded (and con-tinued to regard) professionalliberals with suspicion. But inmy experience he did not holdgrudges , cherish a black-and-white view of life, scorn issuesof personal freedom , or believethat anyone who -was not withhim was against him.

Multiplying sonsIndeed, as one came to know

him better, what seemed mostcharacteristic were his gentle-ness,' consideration, sobriety,idealism , and , If the word hadnot been hopelessly degraded bypolitical oratory, compassion.. Athome m Hickory HU1, with hisliappy and spirited wife, sur-rounded by multiplying sons,daughters , and pets (DavidOrmsby-Gore once said that hehad known Bobby and Ethel solong that he could rememberwhen the dogs outnumbered thechildren), or in shirtsleeves inhis office, children 's drawingsthumbtacke d on the wall, a litterof souvenir s from foreign travelstrewn around the room, a largedog somnolent on the flow, hehardly seemed the demon of theliberal imagination.

Most striking of all ,was whatone of his first liberal friends ,William O. Douglas, called his" unique capacity for growth. "Thus at some point Robert Ken-nedy grew aware of Bhe wor ldof mind and sensibility in whichhis brother bad been so long atease ; and be determined toexplore this world for himself.He began reading extensively,espeoially history and biogr aphy;be started listening to music andattendin g ballet : and he wasresponsible for organisin g one of

the pleasante st of the NewFrontier exercises , the so-calledHickory Hill seminar.

The purpos e here was toremind publi c officials that aworld existed beyond their in-boxes. The regulars, consistingof about twenty Cabinet mem-

bers, agency chiefs, and lesserGovernment p e o p l e plus theOrmsby-Gores , met once a monthor so to hear an autho rit y speakon a subject of his own choosingso long as it did not involve theday-to-day business of govern-ment. Two of the sessions—withIsaiah Berlin of Oxford andDavid Donald of Johns Hopkins —were held at the White House andJacqueline occasionally came toothers. The evenings were livelyand generally disputatious.

As Attorney-General , RobertKennedy was determined tomake the Department of Justiceprofessionally the best depart-ment in the Gov«x3jment. Thequa lity of appointments had notbeen so high since the New Deal.

It was an exceptionally ablestaff , and Kobert Kennedy toldit to make the department anexample of impartial law enforce-ment. The Attorney-General' sreadiness , for example, to bringcases against Democratic politi-cians—two congressmen , threestate judges , five mayors ,assorted chiefs of police andsheriffs—confounded his criticsof I960. Along with civil rightsand juvenile delinquency, he tooka particular personal interest inthe fight asainst organised crime.

He recruited ardent younglawyers for the Organised CrimeSection and for a special investi-gative staff headed by WalterSheridan , another associate fromthe Rackets Committee , and gavethem full support. He worked outwith Mortimer Caplio, of theInternal B e v e n u e Service,arran gements for a corps of anti -racketeer tax investigators. Hebrought the Federal Bureau ofInvestigation into the broad waragainst the crime syndicates.

There were occasional publicrelations excesses. Crimiirolo-gists, for example , were scepticalof the sanction the departmentgave to the notion of a centrallyorganise d and all-pervasive Mafia,and J. Edgar Hoover resented thepublicity given the testimony ofconvicted racketeers , especiallyin the Valachi case. None the less.the antienme effort had more.elan and effect than it had hadfor years.

On civil liberty questions ,contrary to liberal fears , RobertKennedy proved concerned andresponsive Like all Attorney-Gene rals since 1940, he wanted¦wire-tapping - legislation ; but ,after imprudent endorsement ofa broad bill in 1961, the depart-ment restudied the problem -andcame up the next year with 3far more careful and confinedapproach. For the rest , he pre-sided over a quiet and thoroughliquidation of the McCarthyi teheritage.

He was also active on ques-tions of visas and travel restri c-tions. The basic immigrationtew excluded politically suspectaliens from the country unless awaiver could he secured from the

Depar tment of Justice , medefinition of political dubietywas broad and loose, and theresult was often the denial ofvisas to eminent writersand s c h o l a r s for havingcommitted an offence againstAmerican ideas of political pro-priety at some point in theremote past. Robert Kennedythought th« system injurious tothe national interest , grantedwaivers whenever the StateDepartment asked for them , and,if the department hesitated ,often spurred them on to makethe application.

The Attorney - General alsostrongly supported the movewithin the executive branch toremove restrictions on Americantravel to China , Albania, andother forbidden lands. Withi nthe State Departmen t Schwartz ,Averell Harriman , and GeorgeBall had recommended that res-trictions should be lifted for allcountries save Culm; and thePresident several times gaveinstructions t&at this shouldbe done. But the Secretaryof State always felt that itwas the wrong time to doit. Whether because a bill waspend ing in Congress or a nego-tiation pending is Moscow ; andas a result nothing ever happened .

One more prismThe Attorn ey-General went

even farther than the internalState Department proposal andfavoured lifting restrictions ontravel to Cuba as well. It seemedto him preposterous to prosecutestudents who had a desire to seethe Oastro regime in action."Why shouldn't they go?" heonce asked. "If I were 21ye ars old, that's what Iwould like to fto this summer."

In the Washington Judgmenthe turned out to be the bestAttorney-General since FrancisEiddle twenty years earlier. Butthis was a lesser part of his ser-vices to the President When hefirst decided to appoint hisbrother to the Cabinet , I do notknow how much John Kennedyexpected Robert to do besidesran the Department of Justiceand be available for privateadvice and commiseration.

The Bay of Pigs, - however,changed all that . Thereafter, thePres ident wanted Bobby atevery crucial meeting. He didnot necessarily agree with hisyounger brother ; the Attorney *General was one more prismwhich be read like toe others .But the . President trusted himmore , than anyone else to get tothe bottom of an idea or projec t,to distinguish what ,was opera -tional from what was literary, toanticipate consequences, to rideherd on execution, to protect thepresidential interest , and, aboveall. to be camlid.

Within the t Cabinet RobertKennedy became a constant andsteady liberal force, no matterhow much it irritated him tohave this pointed out. Whateverthe issue, one could expect areaction on the merits, withoutregard to vested intellectual oradministrative interests. Onecould expect a reaction on poli-

tical feasibility also ; but the two.-were Kept carefully separate.Gradually, the New Fron tiersmencame to see hint as their particu-lar champion , Knowing that liewas often free to say and &athings which the President , inthe nature of thing s, could notsay or do.

Soon he had his allies scat-tered throughout the Administra-tion. An unfrien dly observerwrote, "Kennedy, a student ofguerr illa warfare , was applyingits techniques to inter-govern-mental relations." But he did notplant these men ; he won them.

Especially in foreign affairs , ifa good idea was going down forthe third time in the bureau-cratic sea, one turn ed more andmore to Bobby to rescue it Hisdistinctive contribu tion was tofight unremittingly for hisbrothers understanding that for-eign policy was not a technicaleiereise off in a vacuum but theexpression of a nation's internalpolicy and purpose.

When I met him in India inFebruary, 1962, after his visit toJapan and Indonesia, he remarkedthat he had been most impressedby the fact that America couldmake contact with the youth andthe intellectuals in Asia only asa progressive country .

" I kept asking myself," he said," what a conservative caulfi poss-ibly say to these people. I cantalk all the time about socialwelfare and trad e unions andrefo rm ; but what could someonesay who didn't believe in thesethings 1 What in the world couldBarry Goldwater say ? " He freelyattacked the policy of association" with tyrannical and unpopularregimes Eiat had no followingand no future. "

Sir, — Your leader writer(June 3) argues that universityexaminations are notoriouslyunfair and that degrees shouldbe assessed on performancethroughout the year. My experi-ence of teaching in an Americanuniversity persuaded me thatsuch course credit systems havemore dangers than advantages.

Would the abolishing of analexaminations take some of thestrain out of student life 1Instead of an annual examina-tion, the student faces an impor-tant test every week. ManyAmerican students crack underthis strain.

And how are we to deal withplagiarism ? When written, woriis of vital importance, a studentis tempted to borrow otherpeople's essays or to list pas-sages from books. This has pro-duced many scandals in Ameri-can universities, and, in myview, remains a problem withoutsatisfactory solution.

Britain's uneasycreditors

Sir,—The Very Sev. GeorgeMacleod (May 30) attacks centralbankers and international finan-cial arrangements for dictatingnational policies in some sinisterway and for acting against theinterests of the underdevelopedcountries. .

This really Is nonsense. First,as to dictating policies : accusingcentral bankers of this is asaccurate as blaming your bankmanager for informing you thatyour way of life has exhaustedyour bank account, while themysterious' international figureswho remove our freedom ofchoice are merely the creditorswith whom we have piled updebts and who were g e t t i n guneasy about the likelihood ofpayment

Helping the underdevelopedcountries must be done withinthe limits of our balanee-of-pay-ments position and w i t h o u tdistortion to market mechanismswhich eould in the long run beharmful to underdeveloped coun-tries.

The plight of the under-developed countries Is a matterfor serious concern to us all. ItIs not helpful to stir up bitter-ness and suspicion and to imputesinister motives to guardians offinancial probity. Central bank-ers may be wrong but are rarelydishonest, and many of thediffic ulties Involved are politicalor social in origin.—Yours truly,

DEVON : Corres pondents have asked me If I willadvise them what to see on their holiday in thiscount y. But what I find most impre ssive is theunfoldin g of land scape as one walks through it. Here ,however , ate half a dozen natural featu res whichrepr esent the more spectacula r element in thescener y of Devon. First , Lydford Gorge, on thewestern edge of Dartmoor , where the Lyd slicesdeeply through roug h rock. In the defile a path take syou beside gushing whirlpool s towards an attract ivewaterfall . Secondly, visit one of the more impressiveDartmoor Tor s. Haytor , near Bovey Tracey, is easilyreached from the road , so too is Houn d Tor, betweenHaytor and Manaton. A trip up the river Dart fromDartmouth gives one a good idea of the lushdro wned river valleys of this part of the country . Theconsiderable contrast between Devon's two coasts isthen brought home by a visit to Hartlan d Point. Parkyour car and walk to the point, from which , turningeast , one may see the whole coastal sweep from BullPoint to the Taw-Torridge estua ry. To the west theAtlantic , and Lundy seen from its nearest mainlandpoint. Then I advise the tra veller to park his carat Malmsmead and to walk due south along theDevon bank of Badgwo rthy Water at feast as faras the junction with Lank Combe. Badgworthy isan Exraoor valley with more incident th an many andit is linked , in feeling if not in fact , with "Lorn aDoone."

A COUNTRY DIARY

The movements of the gold and foreignexchange reserves in May, as announced by theTreasury, are as enigmatic as ever. Whateverpinch of salt may be taken with the figure of£11 millions given for the fall during the month,clearly it was not as good a month for the poundas some of the earlier ones this year. The pres-sure on sterling in the exchange markets hasnever toeen great but it has persisted. In part thisreflects tbe continuing doubts about the speedat which the devaluation measures are workingand will produce the desired surplus on thebalance of payments. The feeling has gainedground that devaluation has given a bigger upliftthan expected to British, exports, hut the per-sistence of a high rate of imports has cancelledsome of the gain. On top of this there havebeen reports that capital outflow, particularly tocountries such as South Africa and Australia, hasincreased since devaluation. All hi all, it isthought that we shall be lucky to see a paymentssurplus of half the target figure of £500 millionsby the end of next year.

These factors in themselves would not beenough to account for the painfully slow rehabili-tation of the pound. Unfortunately the problemhas been complicated both by the general uncer-tainties surrounding the world monetary sceneand in particular the prospects for the overseassterling area link with London. The pound hasinevitably felt some of the backwash of the rushfrom the franc during the French upheavals andthe earlier drift into gold. Sterling tends to bethe most easily disposable reserve currency in aperiod when speculators are moving out of papermoney. However, the problem of the overseassterling area investments in London is the onewhich has posed the most serious obstacle to therecovery of the pound in recent months. Forsome years the links binding the sterling areahave been weakening. This ,is for the most parta simple reflection of the diverging tradinginterests of Britain and many of the Common-wealth countries. It has meant that the overseassterling area countries have been placinga declining portion of their new foreign exchangeearnings in London.

Devaluation was a body blow for sterlingarea solidarity. The de facto independence ofmost of the sterling area countries was displayed

by the maintenance of unchanged exchange rates.But the lesson of devaluation was not lost onthem. There were cries of betrayal by the Britishand threats to withdraw their balances. This hasnot so far occurred, although the fact that therehas been no addition to sterling balances inmany cases has involved some net running downof sterling reserves. This in turn has involvedthe British Government in heavy short-termborrowings from the central bankers to protectthe pound from the backwash of these move-ments. In addition, London has had to create aprecedent by virtually guaranteeing half of thelarge Hongkong reserves in London against anyfuture devaluation. No doubt Malaysia, the MiddleEast oil States, and possibly Australia and NewZealand will be quick to ask for the sameinsurance. There is absolutely no harm in. thisprovided we are not forced into a new devalua-tion ; if we ever should be, the price eould beappalling.

. No doubt these are some of the reasons wnythe Government has been giving more tunerecently to finding a long-term solution to thewhole problem of the sterling balances. The newborrowing from the IMF will have the effect ofincreasing the available central bank credits tomeet the problems created by the rundown inthe balances. It is also possible that the BritishGovernment will be able to persuade an inter-national consortia of countries to put up a hugeloan and effectively take over the sterling arealiabilities. Ideally this should be done by the IMFitself. Best of all would be a scheme for spreadingthe sterling area liabilities among the leadingbanker nations which formed part of a widerreform of the world monetary system. Even withthe addition of the special drawing rights, thepresent system is too obviously fumbling fromhand to mouth. France has hitherto obstructedany radical reorganisation of the world's moneyaffairs. But after the events of the past weekand with the standing of the franc severelyweakened. President de Gaulle may not be in thesame position to frustrate reform. This shouldencouarge the Government to take yet anotherinitiative to get international agreement on asane monetary system ; paradoxically it now¦stands a better chance of succeeding than at anytime ut the oast two vears.

The future of sterling balances

Senator Robert F. Kennedywas removed from the politicalscene at the moment when hisPresidential hopes began toglimmer onee more. E merci-fully he recovers his health andstrength sufficiently to con-tinue his political career, hecannot do so in time to resumethe gruelling race for theP res idency this year.American election campaignsare no convalescence.

Once more in this fantastic offantastic years the political land-scape has been transformed.Nobody a few months ago couldSave predicted the withdrawal ofPresident Lyndon Johnson, theamazing phenomenon of SenatorEugene McCarthy, and, least ofall, the ghastly repetition of ahistory in the shooting of aKennedy.

That is not to say there wereno secret fears. One reason forPresident Johnson's withdrawalwas a situation in which he.President of the United , States,candidate for re-election, wasobliged to move about thecountry from one armed camp toanother. No man can he Presi-dent of the United States cut offfrom the people: communionwith the people is an essentialpart of the job, far morethan in the case of a PrimeMinister.

Arrangements were beingmade for President Johnson toarrive at the Chicago nominat-ing convention by military air-lift A helicopter would havedelivered him to the to" of aspecially constructed steel tower :heavily guarded he woulddescend by lift to the conventionhall: he would return to theWhite House by the sameignominious route. Even thenAmericans wondered if tiheconvention would not take place

Bobby Kennedy, it was said,¦was the only candidate who couldsafely walk the ghetto streets ofAmerica Beloved of the blackpeople, brother of the Presidentwho liad been gunred down inDallas, as the Black leader MartinLuther King was gunned downin Memphis, Kennedy wasgranted a special immunity toviolence of this kind.

Vulnerability-Yet watching Kennedy cam-

paigning among the people it wasimpossible to be unaware of hisvulnerability. He could havebeen start a thousand times thisyear. At ghoulish momentswhen one was reminded by (himof -bis brother one could hear flieshots ring oirt in riihte countrywhich, echoes with the sound ofviolence. He appeared to enjoyno protection beyond the twopowerful Negro athletes whoaccompanied h'lm on his sweepsthrough the primary States.Wherever he went he wastouched, mauled, crowded;' hemust have been aware ofthe idslas he was running, but hewas determined — p e r h a p sbecause of his dead brother—jmot to fear the people.

What happens so ofifen seemsinevitable. The Kennedy familyseems ait onee blessed and cursed.The roll call of violent death,accident, and illness is as long asthe glorious record of familyachievement When his youngerbrother Teddy was injured in anaeroplane accident Bobby com-mented ruefully : " There aremore of us Kennedys than thereis trouble "

Would he have become Presi-

dent of the United States l«iisyear ? Probably not. The vic-tory in California last night wastoo narrow—with 77 per cent ofthe vote counted Kennedy hadonly 46 per cent againstMcCarthy's 42 per cent ; lessthan the 59 per cent seen asnecessary to repair fully thedamage his candidature had suf-fered in Oregon the week before.

But who can say now ? It ismore appropriate as he strugglesfor life and the restoration ofthe faculties necessary to a poli-tician to recount what he hadalready achieved this year. Sena-tor McCarthy and Senator Ken-nedy between them—tragicallyproceeding apart but on nearparallel lines—have deposed thePresident, forced a dramaticchange in the conduct of theVietnam war and demonstratedconclusively that the majority ofDemocrats are ranged againstthe old politics and the old men.' In nine primary elections

before California and SouthDakota they had together col-lected 2,267,789 votes against927,000 cast in support of Presi-dent Johnson and Vice-PresidentHubert Humphrey. Allowing thatJohnson and Humphrey were noteampaigniing, the verdict wasoverwhelming—71 per cent infavour of the new, 29 per centfinr rfih*» tn\-d

WIWU. . .SENATOR ROBERT KENNEDY—SECRET WORRIES—

California's verdict was theclearest yet. Nearly 90 per centof Democratic ¦ voters opposedthe pro-Humphrey slate by votingeither for Kennedy or McCarthy.That—rather than the narrowvictory of Kennedy overMcCarthy—would have been thesignificant result had the shotsnot rung out to make all calcula-tions of votes and delegates seemnot only irrelevant but indecent.

Kennedy's last political wordsbefore he lost consciousnesswere : " I can only win if I havethe help and assistance ofSenator McCarthy—or those whohave been associated with him—and that I would like to have."

Between them McCarthy andKennedy were buildiing newalliances. California onee againshowed that Kennedy uniquelycould bridge the racial gap andembrace batti city and country-side. He could draw solidsupport from black people andMexican people and at the sametune from white workers, fromurban workers and at the sametime from those who live uponthe Jand. Seooradis before he fellto the floor he was speaking ofthe violence and division m theland—ifihe violence and divisionhis whole campaign has been

Two alliancesKennedy has potentially a

radical alliance ; McCarthy's isessentially a liberal-conservativealliance which had eluded AdlaiStevenson. McCarthy was build-ing support which cut acrossparty lines ana the generationaldivide. The middle-classes.Republican and Democrat, therestless students and the cautioussuburbanites, the intellectualsand smalltown folk were his con-stituents. The two alliancestogether are more than the oldpolitics can possibly for longwithstand.

Kennedy's trgedy—as everyonenow knows—was that he cametoj late into the contest. It wasMcCarthy not he who sensed themood of the country last year.Had Kennedy obeyed his owninstincts and mot heeded the

advice wihich was pressed uponhim he might have swept trium-phantly through the primaryStates and reached Chicago asthe unstoppable choice of thepeople. But McCarthy probabl ycould not alone have toppledJohnson and driven the UnitedStates to the peace table in Paris.The response which Kennedyengaged in the people and hisentry into the race after NewHampshire, combined withMcCarthy's moral defeat of thePresident in that first primary inMarch, were together the factorswhich transformed the situation.

The questions now are many,but today people are too stunnedto ask them or to answer them.Will violence upon violence—Kennedy, King, Kennedy—con-tinue upon its course ? What newhorrors will flow from the horrorenacted in a squalid kitchenpassage behind the plush facadeof the Ambassador Hotel, LosAngeles ?

How can an election campaignbe conducted over five more longmonths in a country wherepolitical leaders tread in fear oftheir lives 1 Today PresidentJohnson assigned Secret Servicebodyguards to all the candidates.Will the armoured car replacethe whistle-stop train and theconvertible as the vehicle ofdemocratic politics ? Will theUnited States respond to thislatest atrocity as before—sorrowand shame, quickly followed bybusiness as usual ? Will theCongress at last be moved to rfealwith the ills of this society ?

Is this a morality we arewitnessing in which a nationliving by the sword is dying bythe sword? What future mythswill be spun around the Kennedyfamily ? How much more tragedymust it endure ?

What on earth will happennow ?

Israel was under the illusionthat it could impose upon orfrighten the Arab nations -withthreats. "Israel is beginning tolose because of her arrogancewhich has reached a point ofcomplete disregard of worldpublic opinion and the majoreffective forces in it," he said.

But even then the anti-crime Bill which came beforeCongress, and which includedmeasures to control the sale ofguns, was deeply eroded by theSenate.

'Brutality5 accusations explainedFrom NESTA ROBERTS, Paris, Jane

Three hundred witnesseshave given evidence to thecommission, set up by theNational Union of FrenchStudents (TJNEF) and theNational Union of UniversityTeachers (SNESup) to inquireinto police brutality after thestudent - revolts of the pastweek.

A first instalment of their tes-timony has now been madepublic at a press conference. Therange of- offences is wide. Itruiis from rape to inciting aschoolboy o' 18 to jump into theSeine.

The commission includes,besides members of the twounions, private residents of theLati- Quarter who saw much ofwhat went on, lawyers, doctors,and scientists. It has deliberatelyconfined its attention to violencecommitted after the battles ofthe barricades or against personswho were in no way involved inthem, rather than to injuriesreceived "in action." '

The " non-involved " includepeaceful citizens who chanced tobe making their way home andwere picked up by parties ofpolice although they were somedistance from any spot where ademonstration was going on.Among these was the school-boy mentioned. With a com-panion, he was crossing one ofthe bridges over the Seine whenhe realised that he was caughtbetween two etouds of police.Expected blow

To avoid the expected blowfrom a club, he climbed on tothe parapet. One of the policesaid : " Go on, jump ! " and, whenthe boy slid down to the far sideof the parapet, balancing on anarrow ledge, police beat his

head and fingers in an effort tomake him let go and fall intothe river.

Only the arrival of an officerstopped this. The boy was thentaken to the local police station,where he was again beaten soseverely that he is still in hospi-tal. His parents are bringing anaction.

A number of householderswere visited by police armedwith revolvers looking fordemonstrators whom it wasthought they might have beensheltering. One young womanspent 10 days in hospital afterbeing hit on the head by a teargas. bomb which was thrownthrough her window.

Two instances of rape orattempted rape have beenrepor ted, one in a police van intransit, and one m a policestation, and a number of casesin which women had had theirhair shaved off and have beenstripped naked, sometimes inpublic.Local stations

The savage treatment of menincluded beating them in thegenitals, ilt was common prac-tice for those who were broughtto a police station to have torun a gauntlet of a double rowof police armed with clubs ontheir way to the cells. Thepolice ghetto at the Beaujonhospital where numbers of thosetaken into custody were kept forhours in an unsheltered enclo-sure, was a notorious centre ofgratuitous brutality.

One piece of evidence in thehands of the commission is a copyof a letter reporting what wasalready going on at local policestations which was sent to thePrefet of Police (M. MauriceGrimaud) as early as May 6.This, according to a member of

the commission, suggests that ifthe Government which was con-sidered as an interlocutor, wasunaware of what was happening,its incapacity was sufficientlydemonstrated. If it did notknow what was happening, itcould not be regarded as a validinterlocutor.

Besides physical violence, wit-nesses have given evidence ofabuse by police of which a fairlytypical example is: "You'veouted. two of our chaps. We'llmake you pay for it and soonwe' will shoot as we shot in therepression against the Arabs,when we finished off 150 of them.You didn't know that, did you ? "

The press conference has alsogiven details of the seriouslyinj ured among the demonstratorswho are still in hospital. Theyinclude 13 suffering from con-cussion, of whom five are likelyto have serious consequences, 20cases of crushed chests andseveral dozen fractures of whicheight were compound. Thereare also two cases of rupturedinternal organs. The last may berelated, to the fact that one ofthe more common offensivetactics of the police was a blowin the kidneys with the butt ofa rifle.

The commission is so farobserving a scrupulous reserveon the many rumours which havebeen current of deaths causedduring the revolt At the pressconference it was stated that,since the members did not wishto assert anything about whichthey were not absolutely certain,they were for the present con-fining themselves to publishingthe names of 11 people who wereknown to have " disappeared."There are six more, not named,whose families are unwilling thatheir identities should be madeknown. Among the 11 is a siraged 15.

A NY discussion jof the state of the**¦ property market Invariablyreverts to the role played by theLand Commission. But it is tooearly to assess the efieets of thecommission, and all that can be doneIs to report on its progress fromtime to time. At this particularjuncture the news is that in the first18 days of ttie current financialyear the commission collected nearlyas much levy as during the wholeof the previous 12 months.

This will surprise a great numberof people, but not Mr WilliamBieketts, a lecturer at GlamorganCollege of Technology, who is keep-ing a close watch on the com-mission's activities. I reported sometime ago Mr Eicketts's belief thatthe commission was going tobecome a formidable money-raisinginstrument, bringing in about £20millions a year by 1970-71. But Ican also report now that the com-mission could well raise more moneythan it is entitled to. According toMr Ricketts, a form of inquiry issuedto people who might be table tobetterment levy has an omissionwhich could result in their payingthousands of pounds more thannecessary, unless they take informedDrofessional advice.

THE PROPERTY MARKET

Infor mation missingThe form (known as BL 100) does

not ask for information aboutexpenditure on land which aprevious owner might have incurred.It merely asks about expenditureincurred by the person completingthe form. Yet, says Mr Ricketts,expenditure by the previous owneris a deductible item in the better-ment levy formula. "This, however,is not stated or explained in anyway, and unless an expert is calledin, the bill for levy could bethousands of pounds more than itneed be."

Meanwhile, the commercial,industrial, and shop sectors of theproperty market continue to jogalong, with bright spots here andthere. In general, though, thesituation is not as encouraging as itwas 18 months ago. Tl Politicaluncertainty " (which covers amultitude of factors) is blamed forthe change. The market wasextremely quiet in the monthspreceding the Budget, mainlybecause of the predictions of taxincreases. According to Chamberlainand Willows, however, the propertyworld has regained some of itsconfidence since the Budget , andother agents say that they are "notunduly pessimistic."

The factory situation aroundLondon is being affected by Govern-ment inducements to lure factoryoccupants to development areas, andit is possible that some of the largerolder factories are going to bedifficult to dispose of. But newfactories and warehouses on

by RICHARDMALLINSON

industrial estates throughout thecountry are still in demand,though there has been a slightslackening off in the Manchesterarea.

On the shops side, the recentclamp-down on overdrafts by thebanks, as well as increased over-heads (including SET), havebrought a few setbacks. Higa rentsdon't help, either, and shops aredifficult to let in the BirminghamCity Centre, for instance^—thoughshops in good trading positions insuburban areas are doing reasonablywelL In the North-east, shops are"ticking over," but rents are high.On Merseyside, however, thereappears to be a new surge ofconfidence.

In fact, Liverpool' is experiencinga great deal of central office andshop building and there is a definiteupsurge of interest in the area byoutsiders. Recently, 50 acres ofindustrial land were sold withoutmuch trouble, and a 50,000 sq. ft.office block (Concourse House, in

lime Street) has just been " topped-out " (Joint letting agents : JohnPopplethwaite and Company, and D.E. and J. Levy). But there is a feel-ing that planning " blight " needs tobe tackled more vigorously.

The office sector, particularly iaCentral London, is much healthiernow than it was some months ago,and not too much should be madeof the odd empty biock. In Mayfair,for example, it would be difficult tofind modern office space available atpresent in the 1,500 sq. fi to 2,000sq. ft. category. The demand is heavy,even though the rents are high—often in the region, of 68s a squarefoot. Significantly, much of thedemand is coming from Americancompanies, which, do not balk athigh rents. There Is a fair demand,too, for some of the 'better olderoffice buildings.

Next year's prospectsMany agents are already anticipa-

ting a situation next year when,because of Government restrictions,there will be no more fepeeulativev*office building and the ctmrent space!will have been- mostly- taken." - Oneagent believes that "the tur willreally start to fly "—by which helmeans that rents^are likely to soar.;Also, of course, many more older office 'buildings will have to be renovated,in an attempt to bring them up to the" 1standards laid down by the Ofijces,Shops, and Railway Premises Act.

Only this week there is news .of 'office activity in London. D. E. andJ. Levy, acting for Holders Invest-ment Trust Ltd., have sold ttie free-hold of Hill House, Blackfriars Road,'London SE 1. This modern property(115,000 sq. ft.) is the headquartersof the William Hill Organisation: Thebuyers. The Pension Fund PrqpfertyUnit Trust, represented" by-Jones,Lang, Wootton, have leased back:tfaeentire building to the sellers, 'whooccupy part of the-building. Thefigure was around £3 millions. ,

of business decisionsHAVING raised their capital from

£728,000 to £48 millions inabout five hours, four men fromTurner and Newall are back doingsome real work. They achieved theirgross record some days ago in aseries of business games, taking firstplace, with two more quartjets fromthe same company finishing third andfifth. Their competitors were sixteams of experienced managers and

ByMICHAELDIXON

directors from other concerns in theNorth-west The T and N teams,however, consisted entirely ofmanagement trainees, none olderthan 26.

One member of the winning team,Mr Colin Mitchell, left university lessthan a year ago. He thinks the victorywas due mainly to his side's seeingfairly quickly that, in the circum-stances, advertising was more impor-tant than price. "'We also realisedthe importance of sales and service,"he said, " and we kept pretty highprofit margins." His less successfulcolleagues did differently, but seenow that Mr Mitchell's team formedthe best plans for the unspecifiedconsumer durable (product "madeand marketed " in the p-a-mo

decision sheet at the end of eachcycle of the game, and a Honeywellcomputer correlates them with thebusiness model and the other teams'decisions, before hurling back eachcompany's results in the form of aprofit s t a t e m e n t ." This showssuccessful failure- "year by year "from the beginning, when everyteam holds stock worth £2,040,000,financed by capital of £728,000 and abank overdraft of £1,312,000.

By turning this into capital of£48 millions over eight cycles, MrMitchell's team achieved the bestsuccess of the day. The managementtrainees' total performance—first,third, and fifth of the nine teams

This was held in Manchester andorganised by Honeywell Controls,helped by the British Institute ofManagement and University of Man-chester Institute of Science andTechnology. Business simulationexercises are available to teach mostsorts of management practice, butthis one is designed to give experi-ence in making decisions. It isplayed in groups of three teams, eachrepresenting a company based in theUnited Kingdom and competingagainst the other two, and against"foreign competition," for shares ofthe home and three overseasmarkets.

taking part—looks even better mtheir placings within the threeseparate groups into which thegame was divided, In each of these,one side from Turner and Newallcompeted against two teams f romother companies, finishing first intwo groups and second in the other.

Why did they do so well ? "Oneaspect was very important," said MrPeter Maybury, whose side camethird overall. "All our teamsappointed a member to look aftereach particular function—sales,accounting, and so forth. Once we'dset goals, everybody knew inadvance what part he had to play ingetting us there. So the rightinformation came up at the righttime-^-when to increase productioncapacity, for instance. Some of theother teams didn't appoint peopleto functions, so several were doingthe same job and they didn't get thenecessary data in time, whichmattered a lot as the period allowedfor taking decisions got shorter andshorter."

Mr Maybury had been in businessgames before, as had three moreamong his company's 12 players.One of these is Mr Ian Eaton—likeMr Maybury in his second year withT and N—who led its least success-ful team. He told me some benefitmust have come from the previous

Equal shareAt the start, each of the "United

Kingdom companies " has an equalshare of the home market, of which10 per cent is held by the sinister" foreign competition "—this isn'trepresented by a team, but is builtinto the computer " and can't lose."The home arms also have an equalbut limited share of two of the threeexport markets, and may choose tocompete in any or all of these or towithdraw from them.

Good general business sense is alla team really requires in assessingthe information and making itsdecisions on how to manufactureand market the common consumerdurable. These are recorded on a

game, but this had not involved acomputer. "I think being youngerhelped. We do a lot of reading, andour minds are possibly more flexible,and while T and N is hardly a con-sumer durable group "—it is bestknown for asbestos-based andplastics products, for example"Ferodo " brake-linings—"we get agood look at the various functionsof business during our training."

The group's management trainingscheme was described last month bythe chairman, Mr R. M. Bateman, asamong the best in tiie world. Peopleenter it mainly from university,although outstanding commercialtrainees may be transferred into thehigher schemes. For their first eightmonths, management trainees visitfactories in the group taking part invarious activities. One purpose ofthe visits is to let people see whatdifferent jobs involve before theydecide where to specialise. The threetrainees I met think this programmesuits most new graduates whogenerally have little idea how thevarious departments work. "If youknow definitely what function youwant," one said, " you don't join theT and N scheme.".

AssignmentThen follows a "guided assign-

ment " lasting 16 months. The nextmajor step for the successful is aperiod at business school. Mr Eaton,for example, who is specialising incomputer work, will go soon to spenda year at Imperial College, London.Courses at Manchester BusinessSchools, Cranfield , Birmingham, Sal-ford (for marketing) and Fontaine-bleau are also used by Turner andNewall's trainees.

Didn't they grow bored duringthose first eight months of visitingfactories, I asked. Mr Mitchell, whois just completing this stage, saidthere had been a bit of tediumearlier on. Half way through, though,the trainees were given a stiffproject to carry out, and this hadmade him realise how useful thevisits were.

" We don't just stand gaping," MrMaybury added. " On the visits youhave to take a really critical look atthe factory and make a report. Itdoes you a lot of good. What's more,you have to justify your criticisms tothe relevant manager. Sometimesafter he's answered, you crawl out ofhis office. " On such occasions itmust be comforting to have good per-formances in a business game safelyrecorded in one's dossier.

TJpHAT a sad, destructive;»* world we live in. Riots,violence, crisis—these are thewords which dominate eachday's headlines. Count thecheerful stories in this morn-ing's papers and see what theyadd up to. You will be luckyto find half a dozen. Gloomseems to De She order of theday. It takes courage to be anoptimist'

The tragic shooting ofBobert Kennedy, like the re-cent dramatic turn of eventsin France, was a reminderttiat in this supposedly en-lightened world <>f ours any-thing can happen. There is nological reason why it shouldharm sterling, or damageindustrial shares, but it addsto the general feeling of in-stability. No one and nothingapipears to be secure.Dangerous forcesThe reaction to this sort of

thing is either an instinctivedesire to play safe, or a deter-mination to grab as much asone can while the eoing is

good. Both, are dangerousforces, and they have doneconsiderable d a m ag e toeconomic and! financial manage-ment in recent months. Theirony is that they can easilyproduce the disaster everyoneis trying so hard to protecthimself against

Uncertainty is bad forbusiness, and certainly bad forpaper money. Fear is a power-ful emotion, which relegateslogic to second place. Britainhas suffered from it in thepast; it is suffering from itnow. The crisis of confidencewhich led to last November'sforced devaluation has notdisappeared It is not theChancellor's fault that thisshould be so; today's crisisextends far beyond Britain'sdomestic problems. We arecaught in a world-wide pheno-menon, and no. one can be surewhere it will all lead to.

Am I adding-to the gloomwith these depressing-observa-tions ? I don't mean to. I amby nature an optimist, givento counting my blessings, but

a financial journalist has totake note of the prevailingmood.

If you are really looking forcheer, it is not all that difficultto find it World trade isexpanding vigorously, in spiteof all the monetary uncer-tainty. Our car makers aredoing fabulously well in theAmerican market, and indus-trialists are optimistic aboutexport prospects. General deGaulle's troubles should makeFrance a better market for ourfirms, and take the sting outof his attacks on the dollar.Our chances of getting intothe Common Market haveprobably been improved.

The c o n s u m e r spendingboom at borne is under control.Company profits are risingsharply. The United Statestax surcharge looks like goingthrough at last. The pound isrealistically valued at itspresent parity, and the struc-tural-changes made in the lastfew years are beginning toproduce benefits. Productivity,according to a "Neddy"report yesterday, is showing anotable improvement. Thespecial IMF drawing rightsscheme should come into forceearlier than many people hadexpected—and the Vietnampeace talks continue.

Pear of squallIt -would be comforting to

think that all this is enough toend talk of a new sterlingcrisis. Unfortunately, this isnot so. There is a widespreadfeeling, at home and abroad,that sterling ie about to runinto another severe squall.The London correspondents ofoverseas newspapers havemucih to do with this, but theycould reasonably argue thatthey are simply reflecting theviews expressed by the City,Conservative politicians, andBritish journalists.

" Business Week," the widelyread American magazine,bluntly states , in its currentissue that " sterling ¦ is on thetauik.-vof another crisis." Itreports" I that, atVtlhe 'recentannual monetary conference of

the American Bankers' Asso-ciation " even Bank of Englandofficials shared the pessimism."I very much doubt flhe accuracyof this—Bank of England menusually take more care—'butone cannot ignore the fact thatbusiness men all over Americaare being fed this kind ofstory.

UncertaintiesHere, at home, Mr Nigel

Lawson writes in Hhe currentissue of the "Spectator " that"the very real possibility" ofa specifically British sterlingcrisis this summer or autumndominates the thought of theTreasury, the Bank of England,and Mr Cecil King. Tie" Economist " has hinted at thesame thing. Add to this allthe other uncertainties, notablythe explosive situation in theUnited States, and you have aforce which could prove veiyexpensive.

The situation is not helpedby the current talk aboutimport quotas, and about thepossibility of freezing a largepart of the LondonJieldsterling balances. Traders andothers, inevitably, protectthemselves ag a i n s t such

developments—and, in doingso, contribute to the pressureagainst sterling. Imports arekept artificially high, and thediversification of sterlingbalances is accelerated. Theupshot could be a run on thepound which has little ornothing to do with our basiceconomic situation, or with ourlong-term financial prospects.

One ought to stress, ofcourse, that a financial crisisneed not lead to anything sodrastic as a second devalu-ation. In 1965, and again in196a, the Government dealtwith major sterling crises byborrowing from internationalbankers. Formidable creditlines are available to deal withany further trouble.

The bankers know that thepound is realistically valued atits present parity, and that asecond devaluation would notonly be unnecessary butalmost certainly lead to thecollapse of the present inter-national monetary system.This should ensure the fullestcooperation in defeating anyspeculative attack which maydevelop.

Yesterday, the Governmentannounced .that it has decidedto draw the $1,400 millions

standby credit made availableby the IMF last November. Itwill be used to repay outstand-ing short term debts to centralbanks. This will reconstituteshort-term borrowing facilitiesby the same amount, and theeffect will be to lengthen tothree years the period overwlu-dh $1,400 millions of theexisting debt will nave to berepaid . It , is a sensiblearrangement, and it shouldhelp to offset the news iflhatour gold reserves fell by£11 millions in May.

Enough debtFew people doubt, I think,

that the central bankers havesufficient resources to seesterling through any troublewhich may arise between nowand the time when the bene-fits of devaluation begin toshow up in published returns,but, of course, Mr Jenkins isunderstandably anxious not toborrow more money than hehas to. We owe very substan-tial sums already, and it wouldbe sad if the burden had to beincreased in order to check arun on the pound arisingpurely from fear and uncer-tainty. The more we get into

hock, the longer the strugglewill be.

The hope must be, therefore,that increasing attention willbe paid to cheerful news suchas our record car exports toAmerica, and the rise in pro-ductivity. There is certainlysomething to be said for high-lighting our strengths as wellas our weaknesses. Given alittle time we should be ableto pull through without reallyserious trouble. Whether ornot this is too much to askremains to be seen.

St e r l i n g , unfortunately,remains at the mercy of allkinds of events which arequite outside the Chancellor'scontrol. An awful lot dependson what happens in theUnited States—and , to a lesserextent, in Prance—during themonths ahead. One would liketo think that yesterday'sshattering news will help tobring people to their senses.It must surely have sunk in bynow that the instabilitycreated by fear is a threat notonly to us, but to the pros-perity of the world as a whole.

Industries which sell goods atlow unit prices will have tomeet special problems arisingout of the .changeover to thedecimal system. This was dis-cussed in a paper presented byDr Colin Nuttall of Mars Ltd,chairman of the Decimal Cur-rency Committee of the Confec-tionery Industry, at a one-dayBritish Institute of ManagementCongress on decimal currency.

Dr Nuttall pointed out that sofar it is only known for certain thatthe single coins with the minimumexact conversion value are the 5pand the' Is. The Decimal CurrencyBoard has as yet given no indica-tion about the retention nr other-

wise of the 6d/2Jp coin. Secondly,if the board accepts the HalsburyReport's conversion table, thJSwould mean that both 3d and 2dare conver ted to Ip which willcause pricing problems.

Dr Nuttall maintains that if theHalsbury conversion table wereto be followed exactly with pro-duct weights correctly adjusted, theindustry's turnover would drop bynearly £3 millions a year.

The industry's present pricingmethods rely on consumer researchand experimentation. Moreover,there is a long tradition of settingprices at single coin values. How-ever, there Is no easy conversionfor the sixpence and as a possiblesubstitute the 2p price is nearlyequivalent to 5a, which is not apopular price.

Kent-Cambridge linkfavoured by IRC

By SANDY McLACHLAN

The battle for Cambridge Instrument took anunexpected new twist yesterday, George Kent has matchedRank's offer of £12.8 millions as expected, but, in addition,the IRC has come down unequivocally in favour of a Kent-Cambridge link rather than a Cambridge-Rank get together.

In a strongly worded state-ment, the IKC announces itsfull support for the revisedKent offer for Cambridge. Itdiscloses that it urged Rank toconsider putting its instrumentside, the Taylor Hobson divi-sion of Rank, into a new instru-ment company based on aKent/Cambridge merger andsponsored by the IRC. Rankrejected this proposal.

The new Kent offer valuesCambridge at 48s 9d a sharefairing yesterday's price of 31s 3dfor Kent's shares. T!his compareswith the 48s 6d offered by Rank,However, Kent's shares fell inafter hours dealings so that thebifi price fell marginally belowthe Rank offer.

The terms of the new bid are oneKent share plus 12s 6d in S percent unsecured loan stock, plus 5sin cash for each share in Cam-bridge. There is a cash offer of22s Bd for the Cambridge 7J percent preference shares.

The KC intervention dispels anyfears that it might take a morepassive role under its new "chle!executive. Mr Charles Villiers. Onto

once before has the WC taken sideslike this, during the GEC-AEIbattle, and on that occasion It wasnot a case of choosing betweensuitors as it is here.

The only reaction from Rank sofar is "no comment," both on theERC must stand up and becounted."

Mr Villiers last night elaboratedon the IRC statement. " The indus-trial logic is inexorably in favourof Kent/Cambridge." fie said. Headded that the Cambridge/Kentproducts did not meet those ofTaylor Hobsoif in world markets,and that l&ere is no competitionbetween the two groups. " H Cam-bridge went to Taylor Hobson itwould be a case of the tail wag-ging the dog, and this is not Indus-trial logic when the issue is asdear cut as this I feel that thaIRC must stand up and be counted. •

W3iHe one must admire theIRC for having the courage of itsconvictions it is worth poixrting outthat as far as shareholders inCambridge are concerned they maynot be inclined to be swayed by"the national,interest" unless theKent bid offers them a betterreturn either immediately or overthe long term.

Mr Jenkins is anxious not toborrow more than he has to.

Jacison Brothers formal .replyto the Boekware offer is briefand makes few points. First,there is the predictable rejectionon the grounds that part of thebid is in unsecured loan stock.Secondly, the group argues thatit is not being offered enoughequity in relation to its profitcontribution.

Thirdly, the board will not recom-mend acceptance even if Hockwarewere to amend the terms for rea-sons that will be revealed after S.G Warburg, their financial advisers,have been called in.

BY OUR FINANCIAL STAFFholders it delivers some iHngtnsrebukes to the arguments advancedby the vaughan board when itrejected' tlie previous bid.

Smith states that "the reason*advanced by Vaughan's chairmanfor the "catastrophic" resulis inthe current year are contrary tothe experience of certain Smith'ssubsidiaries engaged in tiie manu-facture of drap-forgings, in thesame area as Vaughan, profits andearnings of which on assets "havebeen and still are excellent"

Moreover, It states " that theincreased valuation of Vaughan'sassets only emphasise more clearlythe low rate of return earned onthose assets.

Good yearforParkinsonCowanPARKINSON COWAN.—The half-

time forecast of a "substantial"increase in sales and profit for thewhole of 19B7 by this gas appliancegroup now looks a rather cautiousstatement. Following the j umpfrom £317,000 to £485,000 in thepretax profit for the first half ,growth quickened in the secondhalf. Sales moved up from£11,370,000 to £13,650,000 in thewhole of last year but this is out-stripped by the leap from £682,000to £1,233,000 in the pretax profit—-a result which suggests improvedmargins.

In line with Government policy,shareholders are to get a final o£7i per cent, making an effectivelyunchanged total of 12* per cent,covered a robust 2.1 fames by theprofits for 1967-S.

The group is carrying on thegood work in the current yearwhich Mr H. P. Barker, the chair-man, reports "has started satisfac-torily." He adds that the boardexpects that the company willenj oy another good year. Mr .Barkerwill report on current activities anaplans for future development mhis annual statement, which will bepublished on July 2.

Following the announcement theshares jumped 13s 8d to 92s 6d atwhich they yield a forward looking2.7 per cent.

SUN ALLIANCE AND LONDONINSURANCE.—Mr T. D. Barclay,chairman, told shareholders atyesterday's annual meeting thatthe first quarter's results wereencouraging. There was buoyancyof premium income under allheadings in the opening month o£the year: fire and accidentpremium income showed sub-stantial increases and life businesswas snowing much better figures.If sustained these Increases couldhave " a really worthwhile effecton profits for the year." he said.

Watney Mann's half-yearprofit 19 p.c. down

WATNEY MANN'S half-yearlyfig ures are disappointing. Tradingsuipl us is down by 15 per cent at£5 8S millions and after a higherdepreciation charge, pretax profitshave fallen by 19.2 per cent to£4465 millions. The anterim divi-dend, however, is to be maintainedat 42-3 per cent.

The reasons for the setbackappear to be fo urfold. First , theintroduction of the breathalyser,combined with the exclusion, thistime, of the important Easter trade,has left its mark on turnoverSecondly, the complete freeze onbeer prices for the past couple ofyears at a time when costs havebeen rising steadily has had itseffect on profit margins. Thirdly,the group has been, spendingheavily on expansion particularlyin the Irish, Scottish, and Belgiancompanies. And fourthly, the sub-stitution of dividends from IDV for

McCORQUODALE AND CO, the£12 5 million printer and stationer,reports a sharp down-turn from£43B,000 to £32G,000 in pretaxprofits for the six months to March31. After tax of £139,200 (£147,200)profit is down from £308,800 to£13!l,200. An interim of 3 per centis being maintained.

BROOK STREET BUREAU willassume its normal order of growth,stated Mr Eric Hurst, joint chair-man, in London1 yesterday after thecompany's annual meeting. "Thisyear things are going quite pleas-antly," he said. " If we are correct,1969 should be a surprisingly goodyear for us, with a third morebranches operating, and 1969 couldshow a profit growth that mightwell be called sensational." Headded that new branches were partof a policy of converting incomeinto expansion for the future. MrHurst forecast that by 1971 therewould be a 20,000-a-year shortageof office staff. When the schoolage was lifted there would be anadditional shortage of 60,000. Hethought that Britain "would haveto import office girls from thepoorer English-speaking areas ofthe world," and he added, "officestaff could be a bottle-neck onproduction."

Dental Mfg.may changenameDENTAL MANUFACTURING.—Mr

Prank Hawtm, the chairman, hassome good news for shareholdersin his annual statement Hereports that proceeds from dispo-sals and the " realignment of acti-vities" will free a sum approach-ing £2 millions. As present expan-sions will absorb only a compara-tively small percentage of thissum, substantial resources willremain available for other pur-poses. Mr Hawtin assures share-holders that the board will put themoney to the " best! possible use."Greater liquidity and lessenedmanagerual commitment followingimplementation " will partiallytransform the trading outlook," hesays.

Although little benefits are likelyo accrue from the] redispositions

in the current year, "they -will bemore apparent in the followingyear." However, ' given respitefrom the effects of more politicalacrobatics," he sees nothing elseto hinfler earnings showing a wel-come and substantial improvementover those for 1967.

Various new interests mean thata change in the name of thecompany is necessary and thisrequires the consent of share-lolders. They will have an oppor-tunity of " expressing their viewson the suitability of the directors'suggestion that the group shouldin future be known as HawtinIndustries."

DENNIS BROTHERS, the Guild-ford motor vehicle and lawn mowermanufacturer, pushed up sales Inthe sis months to March 31 from£1,815,247 to £2,047,889, but in thesame period pretax profits slippedfrom £83,784 to £75,696. The chair-man, Mr A. R. Stewart, says theexpected improvement in deliveriesin the second quarter has beenachieved, though not sufficient tomake good the setback to profitsin the first quarter.

"No maj or capitaldevelopments need to be under-taken in the near future," Mr Cloresays, "so that capital expenditurewill be well within our normal cashflow."

In the market yesterday theshares moved ahead further, rising3d to 5s 6d. The opinion is thatButlins is now past its nadir andthat prospects for a useful increasein bookings have brightened.

MARKS AND SPENCER.—Newrecord levels in the company'ssales and profits were achieved bythe1 company in the year endedMarch 31, said tile ¦ chairman, MrJ. Edward Sieff , in his annualstatement.

Export drive by A.D. Int.A. D. INTERNATIONAL.—Devaluation is giving the com-

pany a boost in its importantoverseas business. The chairman,Mr William Freer, foresees substan-tial gains as a result of the group'slarge volume of exports and thelarge proportion of its incomewhich comes from overseasinterests and subsidiaries. In thepast year, the direct gain fromdevaluation was £125,000. whichhas been almost all used up inwriting down stocks of productswhich are due to be eliminated. Inspite of this gain, therefore, profitsof £S51,000 pretax showed a rise ofonly £6,000.

This year higher costs will¦whittle away some of the benefits.But the company's decision not toIncrease its export prices for thetime being has brought a signifi-cant increase in the volume ofexports, and the group is lookingfor considerable long-term growth

overseas. Europe , earning £404,000pretax on a turnover of £4 millions,is already the biggest contributorto profits. It bcati the UnitedKingdom market, where a turn-over of £4.7 millions producedprofits last year of only £222,000.Australasia, with profits of £111,000on sales of £1.3 million, also showsa good margin.

Sales last year rose by £1.6million to £11.5 millions, but as£767,000 of this gain was accountedfor by devaluation, the real increasewas around 9 per cent. The groupis undertaking a drive to raise itsexport business, and at the sametime is trying to cut down the sizeof its stocks. Last year, stockhold-ings were reduced by £333,000 to£4 07 millions.

The chairman promises snare-holders that full details of ' theproposed acquisition of the dentalinterests of Dental Manufacturingwill be given in a circular in abouta month's time.

SUN ALLIANCEAND LONDON

INSURANCELIMITED

Learning to livewith sanctions

By RUTH WEISS*ho latest United Nationsmeasures against Rhodesia should

make little if any difference tohe British business man. He hasrad to learn to live with similartans almost from the time ofTJDI in November, 1965. The<mht items exempt from theUnited Nations sanctions aregoods needed on humanitarianessential grounds, for j ointservices with Malawi and Zambia,°r for educational purposes—tlianks to which. Rhodesians havenot had to do without some oftheir fa v o u r i t e televisionprogrammes.

For file rest , British business hascither disappeared , as is the casewith tobacc o, copper , or asbestospurchases, or is dormant , as in thecase of the EMC assembly plantwhich ran out of kits well over ayear ago. British investment , oJcourse , is still there and someJustnesse s are doing very nicelytoo. No one has succeeded inplacing an accurate price tag onthe total valu e of British interests(guessed at anythin g from £60-RiilliDR s to £200 millions), mainl ybecause holdings are often throughminority shares or together withSouth African and Khodesian sub-sidiari es.

Direct investmentsThere are, of course, direct

investment s which are easily iden-tifiable , such as Tate and Lyle'sshare of Rhodesia sugar refineries ,Dunlop's tyre manufacturing sub-sidiary in Bulawayo . Turner andNewau's asbestos mines, or Lon-rfao's subsidiaries, to mention onlya few.

The question so often posed,whether British business is breach-ing' sanctions, is both simple anddifficult to answer. Simple, becausethey «re, by their very presencein Rhodesia , helping to prop upthe economy. Difficult , because itcan be claimed that it is theTChodesian associate or subsidiarywhich is doing business , not theBritish parent.

This attitude is usually andri ghteously struck. One directorsaid that his Rhodesian companyhad not been in contact with theBritish head oflice since UDI" except through Christmas cards. "Others say that they are nowautonomous and even have had tofind ways of paying their ownpetty cash, because London couldnot remit funds of any kind TheLondon board does not know whatwe are doing ," it is said , and itis much healthier for the Londonboard that this should be so.

After all . Imperial Tobacco orGallaher premises and plant werevirtually comandeered after UDI ,when a Government body tookover control of the tobacco indus-try. Similarly a compan y such asTurner and NewaU can ri ghtlyclaim that the settin g up of aSouth African subsidiary to exportasbestos was done from theRhodesian end and could not becontrolled from Britain

It is ironic how powerlessBritish business is in exercisingany control over day to dayaffairs. For instance, the fact thatLancashire Steel as well asStewart and Lloyds have minorityholdings in Rhodesia's iron andsteel works, Risco, has made nodifference to Risco's developmentplans and sanction-breaking activi-ties in the sale o£ their (prohi -bited) products .

At UDI, those Hh odesians withbosses in London were faced witha very real problem Had theyshut up shop, they would have runfoul of the regime. The latter ,with full powers under its emer-gency laws could have taken over,and for that matter still can, andreplace any director , board ormana gement or staff.

Faced with this possibility,Rhodesians carried on and becauseof this they say that sanctionbreaking was forced on them bythe nature of their positions.Their first duty is to share-holders , directors and staff. Theydid not like UDL But neither dothey like sanctions .

CBI planto boostsavingsA radical scheme to promote

savings t h r o u g h automaticdeductions from workers ' paypacket s has been proposed bythe Confederation of BritishIndustry.

Under the scheme, which was,outlined at vesterda > 's meeting ofthe National Economic Develop-ment Council . workers couldrequest their employer to deducta fixed amount from their paypackets regularly, with the Govern-ment granting tax concessions toboost the effective yield, makingthe investment more attractive

The scheme is regarded by theCBI as a measure to ensure thattlie country makes the mostof the opportunit y provided bydevaluation .

Potentia l savers woul d be offereda variety of media in which toplace their savin gs, including unittrusts and buildin g societies Itis envisaged that the scheme wouldbe operated by the CBI and theTUC on a nonprofitmaking basis.

The Government said that itwelcomed the scheme and therewas a possibility of a pilot schemegoing forward.

Unilever bids forMidland Poultry

BY OUR FINANCIAL, STAFFUnilever is the mystery bidder

for Midland Poultry . Theapproach announced last monthhas led to agreement on an offerworth 18s for each of the Mid-land ordinary shares , valuingthe company at £3.6 millions.The bid , which compares withthe previous market price ofaround 13s 7id for the Midlandshares, is recommended by thedirectors headed by Mr C. P.Wood.

Unilever already holds some 13per cent of the Midland Equity, and.with the acceptances by the direc-to r s' controllin g sharehorain ss. thesuccess of the bid Is assured. Theoffer is to include an option forshareholders to take eilher cashor Unilever ordinary shares inexchange for the Midland holdin gs.

For Unilever the bid representsthe first venture by the deter gentsand food slant into the businessof growing poultry. Unilever 'soriginal stake followed from thegroup's policy of supporting largescale buyers of its poultr y foods.Now it is tying up an importantoutlet for its animal food mills.

Midland has forecast that profitsshould have doubled to at least£500,000 pretax in the past year.On this basis, the shares are beingbought out on a price-earningsratio of around 12}.

Both International Paints andDufay Bltumastlc issued circularsto shareholders yesterday in thecourse of their take-over bid battle.They are again conspicuous for thesame old ar guments. Dufay refusesto give interim figures which chair-man Mr J. Gommes states " arenot available due to the removaland concentration of all Dufaypaint factories at Shlldon ," whileMr Cyril Preston, of InternationalPaints , again emphasises the factthat such figures have not beenproduced by Dufay on whetherthei r forecast Is likely to beachieved.

The IP chair man Is not able togive any more details regardingthe discussions with Courtaulds.Dufa y's revised offer closes onFrida y.

EMU Wool Ind ustrie s is taking overKlnna ird Textiles , the Belfastmanufacturers of candlewick pro-ducts . EMU has already bought32 per cent of the Kinnaird equityat 12s 6d a share . It is now makingthe same offer for the rest of theequity with a shar e exchangeoption on the basis of five EMUordina ry 5s share s for every fourKinnaird 2s 6d ordinary shares.

Mr G. W. Dawson, chairman ofKinnaird , and his family interestswho own 49 per cent of the equityhave accepted the offer for shares

After a ding dong bat tlePorritts and Spencer and ScapnGronp have finally compromisedon merger terms Scapa had addedanother Is Id per share to itsoffer, bringing the total value ofthe bid to £10.7 millions, and thsvalue per share to 22s Id.

The agreed offer leaves theequity , split between the twogroup s at 50-50. However , theloan stock element has beenincreased £12 to £17 10s for every100 Porritts shares, and the couponhas been increased from 7} percent to 8 per cent. On the newbid price Porritts ' shareholders arebeing bowed out on a price/earnings ratio of 18}.

The offer for the Porrittspreference sha res remainsunchanged except that the couponon the loan stoeK is Increased to8 per cent If both offers areaccepted in full the total loanstock to be issued will be £2millions.

English Calico has acquired a90 per cent Interest in Smart Wes-ton, which operates 79 men's wearshops in the United Kingdom. Thenet tan gible assets of Smart Wes-ton and its subsidiaries, based ona recent revaluation of leaseholdand freehold properties are worthaipproximatel v £1.3 millions.

The offer on behalf of WilesGroup to acquire West of EnglandSack Holdings has been acceptedby the holders of 81.7 per cent ofthe issued capital . The offer hasbeen declared uncondit ional andhas been extended until furthernotice.

Signalmenwork bycomputerSignalmen who never see the

trains they control are workingwith new equipment installed byBritish Railways at Leeds. TheEastern Region is using an Elliott900 Series computer to monitorand signal more than 40 miles oftrack around the city centre.

The new system follows theIntroduction of centralised signall-ing a year ago . Seven local signalboxes are linked to a central con-trol beneath Leeds City Station ,from which the movement eachday of more than 500 trains plusshuntin g operations will be super-vised.

Although there are no savingsin personnel to be expected fromthe use of this system , the speedand flexibility claimed for its oper-ation are justification enough forthe cost , which a BR spokesmanput at between £60,000 and £70,000And the fail-safe characteristi csadd to the hkelihood of its beingadopted in other re gions.

Phoenix keeping clear ofcostly acquisitions

Phoenix Assurance, which wasdefeated by General Accident inlast year's battle for control ofYorkshire Insurance, seemsunlikely to get involved infurther takeover struggles.

Chairman . Lord d^ L'Isle toldyesterday 's annual meeting that theboard still believed that anincreased volume of business wouldbe of considerable help in con-taining the expense ratio. But headded :

" Acquisitions at too high a priceheavil y discount any of theseadvantage s so we shall continueto pursue the same objects byother ' methods finan ciall y morefavourable. "

On the group's operations in theUnited States , Lord de L'Isle saidit is too early to forecast results ,but there is no reason to doubtthat the wider spread of businessand a lower expense ratio wil bereflected in more favourable

results. "In the circumstances ,this is a most encouragin g startto the current >ear ," he added .

In the United Kingdom claimsare running at a somewhat higherlevel than in the same period lastyear. On the other hand , premiumincome and new business develop-ment are progressing well. New lifesums assured are showing anIncrease of more than 48 per centcompared with the first five monthsOf 1967.

Big breakthrough Inproductivity

By VICTOR KEEGAN, our Industrial CorrespondentA substantial breakthrough in

productivity last vear which maywell develop into an unprece-dented productivity boom wasrep or ted yesterday to theNational Economic DevelopmentCouncil, which brings togetherleaders of industry, the tradeunions, and the Government.

The council, which was chairedby the Prime Minister and attendedby Mrs Castle, was told that totaloutput per man-year increased by2.6 per cent last year over 1966.compared with a 1.3 per centincrease in 1966 over 1965. Manu-facturing output per man-hourincreased sUghtlv to 4.1, comparedwith 1966, and is now running ataround 5 per cent Some enthusias-tic members of the NEDC councilare now talking of a rise in pro-ductivity of 10 per cent and more,when the expected rise in outputgets under way.

The big, and as yet unanswered,question is how much capacitythere is in the economy to accom-modate the increase in output with-out too much strain. The TUCmemhers of the council, led byMr George Woodcock, pressed fora detailed study of the productivepotential of the economy to seewhat was possible. Although thecouncil accepted that there hadbeen a dramatic improvement inproductivity there are still notabledivisions of opinion on what shouldbe done, the TUC and Neddy mem-bers being markedly more expan-sionist minded than the Govern-ment members.

The significance of the rise inproductivity is that whereas inprevious recession periods (forinstance 1961 and 1965) produc-tivity declined with the fall in

output, this time it has actuallyincreased ¦while output hasdeclined. Thib time, it appears, the" shakeout " really was successful,leaving great scope for a furthersurge in productivity when outputpicks up. It is possible that anincrease in productive potential ofaround 5 per cent will be withinsight, but this will be subject toa good deal of argument inWhitehall and elsewhere over thenext few months.

Acording to the NEDC paper,incomes increased much fasterthan prices in 1967. which broughtcomplaints from the CBI membersthat the prices and incomes policywas more successful in keepingdown prices than wages, with aconseauent squeeze on profitmargins. Retail prices increased

-by 2.5 per cent last year over the1966 level, while total domesticincomes rose by 4 5 per cent in1967 compared with 1966.

Over the same period profitsrose by S4 per cent, weekly wagerates by 3.7 per cent, weekly wageearnings by 3.9 per cent andaverage salary earnings by 4.6per cent. NEDC members T\eretold that the big rise in profitswas not strictly comparable tothe other rises since it must becompared with the drop in profitsof almost 5 per cent in 1966 over1965.

There are also difficulties indetermining the exact effect of thefreeze period since to someextent wages rise before a squeeze,in anticipation of what is to comeand afterwards there is a "bounceback" effect. However, no matterhow great the difficulties ofinterpretation ar:, the figureshave instilled optimism intomembers of the council at am-iipta! timp .

Here is England s chance tostart with, a victory

CRICKET T£ST PREVIEW

It is hard to recall a Testmatch, more difficult to assessthan that starting at Old Traf-ford today. A late beginningto the Australian tour, atro-cious w eather, shortage ofmatch practice, wet wickets,and some poor performancesby players of known quality,combine to make firm pro-phecy impossible.

The fact must be constantlyrestated that every cricket matchis conditioned and shaped by thepitch, and no one can press histhumb into a Test wicket andsee how it will play. The experts,certainly, press their thumbs,but then they oSten make thewrong guess. It is not so longsince David Allen, the Glouces-tershire off-spinner, was sum-moned in an England twelve toEdgbaston, and then left out fora match played, from the firsthour, on a perfect finger spin-ner's pitch. The last time Englandand Australia met at Manches-ter, in 1964, the wicket was soridiculously perfect that betweenthem they scored 1,267 runs forthe loss of 18 wickets ; twoyears afterwards, in similar hotweather, the pitch became adusty turner on the second day,and Gibbs bowled England out,and won the match by Saturday.A puzzle

The puzzling nature of theentire problem was emphasisedwhen Barrington was replacedby Barber, who, apart from bowl-ing leg-breaks, is as different aplayer as can well be imagined.The two fulfil different roles, as-dneither could adequately takethe place of the other in Testcricket.

Usually, by the time of thefirst Test, selection is madevirtually certain by performance.Today it can be said that theAustralians with p r e v io u sexperience in this country-La wry, R e d p a t h, Cowper,McKenzie, Hawke, and Connolly—have confirmed their reputationsufficiently to make good their

places. For the rest, Jarman isentitled to selection on pastreputation1, and the others on thebasis of recognisable ability notyet proved by figures on thistour.

The difficulty of weighing theAustralian n e w c o m e r s isincreased by the fact that mostof their play has been againstthe weakest opposition in thecountry ; their matches againstthe stronger sides have beenspoilt, or wiped out, by badweather. The new batsmen havenot faced a first-class all-roundattack under pressure, and thebowlers- have not attacked apowerful batting side on a goodpitch.

Bursting with runsOn the English side, Cowdr&y

and Boycott have been burstingwith runs and, to their friends'relief , Graveney and Edneh.made good runs in their matchesof last weekend. The Englishbowlers have all taken wickets,but usually in such conditionsthat, if they had not returnedgood figures, they would havefailed miserably. In the field,several of them may crack alittle, and the close catchinglacks the brilliance that inspiredthe English bowlers of 1953 to1956. On the other hand, theAustralians, young, mobile, andkeen, have not lately held asmany catches as they ought

The situation will seem clearerwhen the many equations of theEnglish selection have beenresolved, and it can be seenwhether the intention is toattack or, in the usual way, tohold on in security and hope fora crack to appear on the otherside, and then exploit it—if theright weapons are available.

It is, however, a cricketingcertainty — and c r i c k e t i n gcertainties are never more thanmild probabilities—that thismust be England's best chanceof the series to win. A touringside invariably increases instrength as the tour progresses ;the players come to know oneanother better, to beeome morepowerful through interreliance,and to grow in confidence as one

or another is seen to reach fresiistature.

The same is rarely true ofhome players, particularly thoseof England, drawn piecemealfrom their week-long, parochialbut serious duties in1 the countychampionship. It is for thisreason that, at Cowdrey's ansist-ence, the English cadre wasgathered last night, in the hopethat they would recapture someof the team feeling that existedin the winning side of the WestIndies tour.

One other general truth marbe stated. Test matches, at thehignest level, are won by greatplayers : good players merelyreinforce the situation the greatcreate. If there is on« trulygreat bowler in the matcn, it isMcKenzie: in half an hour hecould lay open the Englandbatting. The nearest comparablebatsmen are Cowdrey, Graveney,Lawry, imminently Boycott,probably Cowper, and possibly—on the evidence of the past weekor two—Bedpath : no one evercalled Edrich a great player, buthe has more than once thwartedthose more highly esteemed.

Threat of bad weatherThe t h r e a t e n e d unsettle*

weather, the experience of theEnglish players, and the relativerawness of the Australian middlebatting must encourage Englishsupporters. Yet, in ,'a

^t

apparently vulnerable middleorder are the men who could,like many young Australiansbefore them, take the step toTest class in a day, and laughat experience. If experience doesnot win now, its chance probablywill be gone.

RACING

By Richard BaerleinHacing at Brighton is always

interesting, with good fields andan1 open market. This is justwhat the public like and on thewhole backers had a profitableafternoon there yesterday. Theleading English trainer, NoelMurless, and his jockey, SandyBarclay, completed a double forJim Joel with Royal Falcon andAsh Lawn. Royal Falcon carriedtop weight to a very easy 2*length victory over the favourite ;Lexicon, in the P a v i l i o nHandicap.

Last time out Royal, Falcon hadacted as pace-maker; to RoyalPalace in the Coronation Stakes atSandown and had finished third to

that horse with Tuesday's Sandownwinner, Sidon, second. The form ofthat race now reads particularlygood for all three horses havecantered In next time out and Ishould say the winning run hasnot been ended.

All three will be placed to ninagain. Lester Piggott could makeno impression on Lexicon who isproving an expensive horse to fol-low. Once Royal Falcon made hisrun from the foot of the hillLexicon had no answer. I wasratiher disappointed with Tamer-marc who looked really well in thepaddock. He never moved into aworth-while position.

Ash Lawn is a half-sister toRoyal Palace by Cnarlottesville.She was having her first race ofthe season and only the second ofher life. She has proved very diffi-cult to tram and is not thoughtmuch of in her powerful stable.She beat the opposition comfort-ably and this modest success willensure her value as a brood mareeven if she is never saddled again.

The day began with the successof the favourite, Dutch Delight,trained by Rvan Price in tnePateham S takes . Stay-at-homebackers will have been pleasantlysurprised by her starting price of4-1. She was drawn 18 and thatweakened the confidence in herchance In the race she ran onuell after taking the lead two fur-longs from home to hold the new-comer Miss Wrekin by half alength.

John Benstead saddled two iiard-ground performers during tneafternoon, Tamermarc who lost, andNeron's Lad, who ran away withthe Channel Handicap. He started

ATHLrriCS

co-favounte with Karpatnos anawon by four lengths from Tyro'sTry who had made the runninguntil two furlongs from home.Karpathos finished third but wasseven lengths behind Neron's t-adwho is no use unless the groundrides as it did yesterday afternoon.

The Brighthelmstone Handicapis the chief race this afternoonand Stop Thief, a horse I haveadvised readers to follow, mustbe my selection. When he wasthe nap at Haydock the groundwas too soft for him. He had runwell enough in the Free Handicapand the going is now in his favour.

The top weight, Battle Flame,ended last season with three vic-tories and his last race produceda dead heat with Virginia Gentle-man at level weights. The stableis in form but he may still' bebetter for the outing. Audsam rana close second in an apprenticerace and boasts a little foTm. Iam sure Stop Thief is going tohave a good season and he shouldstart his winning run here, forthe opposition is less formidablethan he has taken on before thisseason.

"Kushi's improvementOur own horse, Kushi, runs in

the Balcombe Handicap. She is notwell handicapped compared withhow she is treated in other racesbut as these are nearly all sellingplates ive cannot afford to run inthem. She has improved since shewon at Warwick on Easter Mondayand she likes the firm ground.Others to like the firm are Cre-pango and Enraptured. I makethem the only dangers for OpenHours was very disappointing lasttime out. ~~

Crepango has gone up in theweights since winning at Warwickand may be unable to give theweight to Enraptured and Kushi.I am sure Enraptured is the onelikely to give us most trouble Hewas in good form at the end olast season and was not disgracedin his only outing this term. I hopethose who go each way on Kushiwill not lose their money.

Palolo. heaten a short head byDaniel at Windsor three weeks ago,should win the Regency Stakes.The opposition here is moderateIn the Whitehawk Stakes Soverenawill probably start favouritebecause she is ridden by LesterPiggott. She finished second aEpsom but Mas beaten eightlengths by Martianess. Tansy ransecond to Sumsing at Windsorbeaten two lengths and that maybe better form. Tansy is the selec-tion. Love Set should prove bestin the Shoreham Stakes for thestable is in form and likes to winrmr*»

These results have been achieved by the correction of lossesin subsidiaries acquired and because of the higher demandfor our products in the half-year."However, the Budget provisions, and more recently theBank of England borrowing restrictions, could have an effecton the second half of the year. To what extent it is not yetpossible to determine."

Hurdles double for StoreyCROSS COUNTRY

Championsmay disband

European champions NorthStaffordshire and Stone Harriers,one of the most famous clubsin the history of cross-countryrunning, may be disbanded. Anextraordinary general meeting ofthe club has been called forJune 17 with one motion to bediscussed : " that the NorthStaffordshire and Stone Harriersand Athletic Club shall bedissolved."

Mr John Hambridge, who wassecretary for 18 months until beresigned for domestic and healthreasons a few weeks ago. explainedyesterday : " No one is prepared todo all the work and the club isunable to carry on as it is doingat the moment. I was forced toresign and other officials hav e atsoindicated they arc unable tocontinue. Unfortunately, no one isprepared to fill the \acant positi'm.The position now rests entirelywith the members."

The club was founded overseventy years ago and has amembership of about 150 riisachievements in recent yearsinclude winning the national cross-country title and the Midlandcounties' cross-country champion-shin.

Les West (Great Britain), lastyear's winner, won the Tour ofBritain's eleventh stage yester-day, 126 miles from Middles-brough to Berwick upon Tweed,after breaking away alone in thelast two miles from a leadinggroup of 15 riders.

He was chased home by Polishrider, Stanislav Pawlowski, fourseconds behind, with the rest ofthe group being led in by PeterDoyle (Interi>ational-AU Stars), afurther second behind. ..

This was Creat 'Britain's secondstage win of the rsce and it movedWest up to eighth overall place,19 minutes behind Gosta Fettersson(Sweden), the race leader, whowas also with tbe leading group.Liam- Homer, a team mate ofDoyle's, failed to get into thisleading bunch of riders and finishedfour and a half minutes down withthe main field. He dropped toseventh place overall from thirdposition while the other top menmoved up a place although theygained nothing from the Swede.

The day was marked by a near50-mile breakaway by three lowlyplaced riders, Mike Hesson andBarry Moss (Provinces) and KayWetherall (Regions). They gotaway after 46 miles and, at onetime, had a lead of three-minutes.Hesson punctured after SI milesand was caught, while the othertwo were joined after 90 miles bya chasing group of 13 men whothemselves had got away a fewmiles earlier.

The USSR stdl hold the teamlead, with England now moving intosecond place, less than ten minutesbehind them.

continual f r u s t r a t i o n forEngland, smothered as they wereby this hiard-tackling Yugoslavside. But there cannot be anycondoning the action of Mullery.who had played so well. There isno excuse that can be offeredfor. retaliation.

The one goal which putEngland into the position of hav-ing to play for the consolationprize against Russia on Saturdaywas. scored by Dzajic, on thisnight the finest individualperformer. This came from amove by Holcer and Trivic out

An unenviabledistinction

Sir A]f Ramsey said : " It wasa very tight. Ihtcrestins andpossibly very rough game." " WasIt a fair result," he was asked. "Itwas not a question of whetherIt was fair. The Yugoslavs won."

He said he could not remem-ber when last an England plajcrwas sent off , but certainly notin his time as manager. "Itwould appear that you can kicka player in front of the refereeand set away w-ith it. But if youkick In retaliation and the refereedoesn't see it you get sent off."

He' said that within the firsttwo -minutes Trivic had kickedBan and Charlton. Ball had beenkicked four or five times andthere was no doubt about it hewas injured. "I have seen tueteam playing better," was hisonlv comment on theperformance.

MuUery's dismissal is actuallythe first known case of anyEngland player having ever beenordered off in a full international.Alan Ball was sent off whenplaying with Young Englandagainst Young Austria atVienna on June 2. 1965. andStan Anderson, the currentMiddlesbrough manaccr, whenhe was a player with Sunderland.ras sent off drains EnglandUnfler-23's came with Bulgariaat Sofia on May 20, 1957.

on the left wing. Over came thehigh centre and for once Moorewas caught the wrong side ofDzaiic Dzajic breasted down theball and hammered it into theroof of the net. And all England'sdesperate attempts to pull backthis goal ended only with the.sending off of Mullery.1 So England have never yetbeaten Yugoslavia out ofEngland. This was not a nightreally of the old failing ofEngland, that of missed chances.Thec covering of the Yugoslavsprevented all but the occasional'half chance, and those Englandcould not take, for their wayeven then was blocked.- There can be no excuses forEngland's defeat, but the hot,humid riight here, I know, doesnot bring out the best fromBobTjy Charlton. but Charltonwas in no way to blame. Theplain fact was that in this hardand bruising match one real.opportunity was created and the-.Yugoslavs took it. England, Ithought, did enough to win. Theywere at their best when counter-attacking, but the covering ofFazlasic and Damjanovic withPaunovic in the centre was suchthat they were all snuffed out, So, as the jubilant Yugoslavs

From ALBERT BAHHAM : England 0, Yugoslavia 1really to blame. But for all theharsh tackling some of the movesfrom both sides were clever andin this match by England werefar faster than m that againstWest Germany last Saturday.Now England , until a week agoundefeated for five years inEurope , have now been beatentwice. There remains only thematch to come on Saturday andsome consolation, it is hoped ,from the match against Russia.

Even an evening breeze failedto take away the stifling heat,and the match, though it wasfaster and far more skilful thanEngland had played against Ger-many, was still one of sultriness.

After all the scares about thefitness of England players, theteam contained Labone, Hunter,and Charlton, though it looked asthough Charlton still was not toohappy with his glandular trouble.

In the first half—indeed, in thefirst few moments—the Yugo-slavs were seen at perhaps theirfinest. Out on the wings werePetkoyic and Dzaji c with Trivicstorming up in support of them.In the second minute Trivic sentover a long, looping centre whichBanks could not hold. But,though the two wing forwardsswitched and harried, Hunterand Wilson soon seemed to havethem controlled. .

Mitic, the Yugoslav manager,had said that he knew theplayers they had to stop inEngland's side. And, by the lookof some of the tackling, theywere determined to do just that.But England were by no meansblameless. They, too, were hardand rugged as ever they havebeen. And some of the brushesdispleased the Italian crowdwhich only half filled the stadiumringed by the Apennine hills.

The covering of Fazlagic andDamjanovic was close, but, asmuch as anything, it was thestrength of Trivic and Paunovicwhich denied England in the firsthalf. There were few opportuni-ties to get through this ratherrugged defence.High over

In the 18th minute there wasa hope soon dashed. Hunter madethe move and centred ; Ballleapt high to head the ballagainst the crossbar, but, unfor-tunately, he was ruled offside.Then, after half an hour, camethe smoothest of England's movesbetween Moore, Ball, Peters andMullery, but this time Ball wasbadly off target, ballooning theball high over the bar and almostinto the crowd

This, indeed, was an irritatingmatch. In the first half therehad not been more than one halfchance to either side. But withina few seconds of the opening ofthe second half Yugoslavia'swing forwards were on the moveasain. The main threat camefrom Dzajic. now on the rightwing, and his shot sped acrossEngland's goalmouth with everyman beaten including Banks. ButtMs went past the post Laterin the half Dzajic again demon-strated this remarkable ball con-trol and initiative as he wentround three defenders beforefinally being'stopped.

And once Petkovic burstthrough on the left, only to bebrought down by Newton, and Ifelt some referees would haveawarded a penalty. And still thehard, rugged tackling went on.Ball and Charlton received roughtreatment, and from one of thesefouls Fazlajic was cautioned. Itseemed now that England's maintask was to curb this enthusiasmfrom the wing forwards. Thisthey did, but some of the passing,by England particularly, lackedaccuracy.

England's attack came mainlyout of defence, Moore tried oneshot and Hunt, after a fine moveby Ball, shot wide. And soonafterwards Charlton, after a greatrun, did the same. But than, fiveminutes from time, came Dzajic'sall important goal.

Teenagers beat WightmanCup players at Northern

LAWN TENNIS

The Nonthern lawn tennistournament at West Didsbury,Manchester, had its most event-ful day so far this week yester-day when six seeded players-were beaten. Among them wereMrs Christine Janes and MrsJoyce Williams, the BrutishWighitman Cup players, seededsixth and eighth respectively inthe women's singles, and whowere beaten by two teenagedAmericans.

Mrs Janes was crushed by KristyPigeon 6-0, 64, but Mrs Williamssurrendered only after a fascinat-ing hour and a half tussle, 6-4, 6-8,fr2 to Valerie Ziegenf uss.

The other four seeded playersdismissed were from the men'ssingles: Britain's Stiiwell (5) andBarrett (8), India's Mukerjea (4),and Sweden's Olander (7), all instraight sets, and three of themwith surprising ease and swiftness

After Tuesday's disappointments-for their camp, it was the turnyesterday of the American young-sters to capture the glory. Inaddition to Miss Pigeon and MissZiegentuss, Cecl Martinez, VickyRogers, and Peaches Bartkowiezare also through to the quarter-final round. The day's finest hour,however, unquestionably belongedto Miss Pigeon, a tall, slight,blonde, who plays left-handed andwho clearly is going to be one o£the early successors hi a proudline to Sirs Billie-Jean King andHosemary Casals, who are nowprofessionals.

Although playing with a heavilystrapped knee, which she hasstrained slightly, Miss Pigeonshowed neither trace of nerves norimpaired mobility as she sweptthrough the bewildered defences olMrs Janes, who played like a littlegirl lost against fierce accurateserving, crisp low returns, andfirm hitting.

By a Special CorrespondentMiss Pigeon took the first seven

games in a quarter of an hour Instunned silence almost withouthint of opposition, and althoughMrs Janes rallied strongly in thesecond tet the American girlsurged on from 4-4 for a staggeringbut richly deserved success.

The attractive'and athletic look-ing Miss Ziegenfuss is also anotherstrong striker of the ball, and shehad Mrs Williams on the run formost of their long and interestingmatch with powerful serving, somefine civerhead shots and someattacking play. Mrs Williams gotin some angled volleys and dropshots in the second set in whichshe stylishly took the last threegames in succession after recover-ing first from 4-5 and then 5-6down.

Teller andO'Shea inLions team

RUCBV UNION

From DAVID FKOSTPretoria, June 5

The inclusion of Telfer andO'Shea, and the omission ofGibson are the chief featuresof the Lions' team to meetSouth Africa here on Saturdayin the first Test of the four-match series

Telfer damaged a ligament in hisright knee in ihe second match ofthe tour and he has not playedsince. He was not considered fitenough to play against Rhodesiaon Monday. After strenuous prac-tice at No 8 today, he said thathe could feel nothing wrong withhis knee Nevertheless, it is askinga lot to expect him to play in aTest without match practice. Theselectors' desire to include him isunderstandable because he is thebest pack leader in the party.

The tight head prop position wasexpected to be filled by Hortonwho has been impressive in thescrums, whereas O'Shea missed thefirst three games of the tourbecause of illness, and refound hisvigour only on Monday against aweak Rhodesia side. It must bedoubtful whether O'Shea really isready for a Test

Strong caseGibson did not play well enough

on Monday on his return after anankle injury to warrant preferenceover John at stand off But therewas a strong case for playingGibson at Inside centre where heplayed in all four tests for theLions against New Zealand in 1966.Gibson, however, has not playedrecently as a centre so that thechoice of Bresnihan and Turner,both in excellent form, is logical

Among the other "doubtful "places, there can have been littleto choose between Savage andHinshelwood for the right wing.Savage at last has reached theTest team after a disappointingtour of New Zealand in 196B.Preference for Stagg over Thomasat lock adds reach at the lineoutsat the expense of set scrummaging.Similarly, there can have been littleto choose at wing forward betweenDoyle and Bob Taylor, the betterlineout man.

O'Shea dropped out of practicetoday with a bruised foot and wasreplaced by Horton, but the Lions'manager said there was no doubtthat O'Shea would be fit for theTest.

Kptze today withdrew from theSpringboks' team because of anankle injury, and he is replacedat tight head prop by HannesMarais. a former international

Derbyshire f ind hattinga stickybusiness at Kidderminster

CRICKET

By MICHAEL CAKEVBowling well in helpful condi-

tions, Worcestershire dismissedDerbyshire for 160 at Kidder-minster yesterday to obtain fourbonus points. Rain curtailed playwhen they had made 10 withoutloss in reply.

Batting was a sticky business allday on a slow pitch which wasdamp in patches. The ball turnedbefore lunch, sometimes stopped ,and occasionally adopted an evenheight. Booth, who knows tliisground of old, had his spinners onearly and profitably. The left-armGilford made one delivery hold upenough to catch Glbbs in frontand Smith—moving out to driveGriffith—play ed across instead olstraight. Booth doing the rest.

Afterwards, as the pitch dried,the quicker men prevailed, notablyHolder — Worcestershire's WestIndian recruit With an uidiarub-ber action and legs that wouldmake Joe Mercer anxious, he didenough at upwards of medium paceto suggest he may be an interest-ing proposition as wickets quickenup this summer The most substan-tial piece of Derbyshire battingcame from Page and Morgan, whoput on 54 in 115 minutes for thefourth wicket without exactly sug-gesting they were enjoying everyminute of it.

The lithe Brain made them worfcas hard as anyone and had barelyany luck during a 90-minute bowlin the afternoon. Early on Ormrod,at first slip, had to retire forrepairs after getting a hand in theway of 'a f ast-travefiing snick.

Morgan, who had been severelytested by a swinging yorker fromColdwell, eventually lost his oSstump to Brain , who then sawanother unintended shot from Pagefall short of wicketkeeper andfirst slip. After some three hours,during which he had rarely beenable to indulge in a shot off thefront foot, Page fell to Holder for45, bowled off bat and pad. Theremainder went quietly, Holder hav-ing a spell of four for 4 andfinishing with five for 21.

Morgan was unable to lead Derby-shire In the field , having straineda hamstring to join three otherbowlers on their injury list Worces-tershire had made 10 without losswhen rain ended play 55 minutesearly.

rathless progress •After three long days the

Amateur championship is tak-ing recognisable shape. But,saving the continuing presenceof Bonallack and Shade whoseprogress so far has beeninexorable, the outcome of theforthcoming rounds is in thelap of destiny. Of the last 32only 11 are current inter-national players.

The defeats of Foster andOosterhuis, neither of whomcould command his best in thebitter afternoon wind, meansthat each quarter has one seedremaining. Carr, who won thefirst of IBs three championships15 years ago on that famousoccasion at Hoylake, succeededwithout anxiety this time ; andCosh despatched his victims infairly short order.

Carr is amid an interestinglittle company. This morning hemay need his finest against Brooks,a good strong swinger, who couldhave the beating of nun. Whoeverwins meets the winner of Vander-bush, one of three Americans stillalive, and young Philip Toussaint,of Belgium, who is doing splendidlyin conditions of which he haslittle experience.

In the tap of this quarterDurrant just managed to hold awinning lead against Poster, whohas not been able to assemble hisgame into a consistent pattern. Hewas three down when he won thefifteenth with two fine strokes andthe sixteenth, where he holedfrom 35 feet and Durrant missedfrom eight. Neither found theseventeenth green, a shrinkingtaTget In the rising wind; the holewas halved in four and so was thelast. If Durrant wins again hecould meet Meister, an American

Oosterhuis lost to a good golferin Lygate, the Ayrshire champion ;there is no mistake about that.When the wind freshened, blowingfrom the left hand coming homeLygate hit some splendid strokes,notably to the short fourteenthand the fifteenth , n ow a very longway. In the end he was down intwo from the rough at the six-teenth. At the time it seemedthat the match might have taken adifferent turn when Oosterhuis

took three putts with two for thehole on the ninth, but probablynot, for Lygate was the soundergolfer on the day. And after allOosterhuis has not had all thatmuch experience of seaside golf ona cheerless day. The morning hadbeen perfect with the breeze slant-ing over the course from thesun-dappled fields on the distantHeads of Ayr.

The kernel of the second quartermight be a match this afternoonbetween Shade and Hyde, who hasplayed smoothly through everyround, just as in the last quarterBonallack and Johnston, fromCanada, aie. likely to meet thisafternoon. This could prove to bethe most significant game of thenext two days.

Bonallack had command olFlaherty, whose driving wasuncertain, and afterwards he wonthe first five holes but Gorton, a

young Cheshire golfer, came backat him bravely and Bonallack hadto work a little. Johnston, anamiable golfer who gives theimpression that the game is not themost important thing in the worldto him, probably had the run ofthe ball in his match with DonaldSteeL The fourth, where John-ston holed a long putt and Steelmissed a short one, and the nextwhere Steel took three putts whentwo would have won may have hadan effect on events to come. It iscertain, however, that the Cana-dian is a high-class performer.

Some of the most impressivegolf has been that of Marks. Hiscompact, powerful swing has beenfinely controlled, he has propelledthe ball huge distances, and if heflights it high the impact of thestroke is so square and solid thatthe ball rarely deviates from theline. Furthermore his attitude isalways calmly positive.

Blair made only one real errorin the first eight holes, underhit-ting a delicate bunker shot at thefifth , but he was four down. Markshad won the second with a finepitch, the fourth with a perfectlong pitch and run, and healmost holed his tee snot to theminute eighth green.

Marks now plays llichael King,who again showed his composurein a tight finish in the morning.After a splendid start later againstBoston he seemed to lose concen-tration a litUe but regained it toexcellent eSect. He could giveMarks a hard and certainly anattractive game.

Lastly of the young, PeterTupling had a memorable day. Hebeat Strafaci, that faithful Ameri-can visitor who was playing in hiseighteenth British championship,at the nineteenth and then won areally fine match against Stockdalewhich was a great credit to both.Tupling, one down on the eleventhtee, played the last eight holes inone under par. On the last greenStockdale's putt missed by awhisker and Tupling rapped his isfrom six feet.

Durrant on his way to victory over Foster in the fourthround of the Amateur championship yesterday.

Dzajic accepts a centre from the left, beats Moore brilliantly, and his left-footed shot is far toogood for Banks. This was the only goal scored in England's European Championships semifinal

match with Yugoslavia in Florence last night.

From a Special CorrespondentParis, June 5.

Time waits for no man except,apparently, for Pancho Gonzales.This American giant, whocelebrated his fortieth birthdayfour weeks ago, put the clockback 19 years at the Frenchopen hard-court tennis cham-pionships here .today.

In 1949 Gonzales, then only Hi ,reached the semifinals of the men'ssingles. Today he repeated the featby oeating Roy Emerson, of Austra-lia, the holder, 7-5, 6-3, 3-6, 4-6, 6-4,in a match halted by rain over-night at the end of the third set

When Emerson levelled thematch by winning the fourth set,the centre court crowds weieclearly unmoved They wanted Gon-zales to win and made no eflort tohide the fact, All the doubtful callsfell in favour of the American, butit was sheer skill which gave himthe fifth set and ultimate victory.

He broke Emerson's service inthe firet game of this deciding setand hung on to his own deliverytenaciously till the finish. At 5'3,

with Emerson serving, Gonzaleshad a match point but netted abackhand. Then, at 5-4, the Ameri-can reached 40-love for three morematch points.

Two city airportsface disru ptionover pay dispute

BY OUR OWN REPORTERSGround staff at the municipally-owned airports at

Manchester and Glasgow are planning further industrialaction unless their wages and conditions are brought intoline with those enjoyed by employees of Government-owned airports.

' At Manchester, firemen have decided to join portersin a series of guerrilla strikes, and the airport may have to

close whenever the men stopwork. Mr Bill Heywood, theNorth-west trade groupsecretary of the Transportand General Workers' Union,said regulations requiredfire coverage whenever anaircraf t was moved. If therewere no firemen, therewould be no flights.

After a meeting yesterday, the340 members of the union's air-port branch decided to continuetheir policy of lightning stop-pages—six have takftn place inthe last fortnight—until anemergency meeting can bea r r a n g e d with Manchesterairport committee.

TVIuch better off'Mr Heywood said the men

were asking for parity withthose employed at Stansted,Gatwick. Heathrow, and Prest-wick, which were controlled bythe British Airports Authority.The BAA men were much better"off , especially for shift pay, andhad won more favourable wagesand conditions in an agreementdrawn up last October ; recently,they had also been given a 4 percent rise.

Mr George Harvey, the airportdirector, said that last week thenat ional joint council in Londonhad deferred discussion on themen's wages and conditions untilJuly 12. but Manchester wouldnow be ur ging them to bring thisforward.

Last week, the airport commit-tee gave a rise to a limitednumber of ground staff , but saidthe main wage structure wasfixed in London.

At Glasgow about 150 generalhands—porters and baggage men—last n ight called off anunofficial strike over a pay offer,to allow their union to putcounter-proposals to the. corpora-tion, and gave the city untilMonday afternoon to reply.

Britain todraw IMFcredit of£583M

By our Financial StaffThe British Government has

decided to draw out the $1,400millions (£583 millions) whichis available from the Inter-national Monetary Fund underthe stand-by arrangementsmade at the time of devalua-tion.

The new drawing, which isdesigned to give Britain moretime to pav off the enormousinternational debts incurred overthe last three years, wasannounced yesterday at the sametime as the Treasury reported afall of £11 millions in , thereserves of gold and foreignexchange.

The gold reserves dropped to£1,144 millions in May, after arise of £21 millions in the pre-vious month. The decline reflectsthe pressure which developed onthe pound during May. Rumoursof a revaluation of the Germanmark. Mr Cecil King's alarmiststatements, and the Frenchcrisis all contributed to theuncertainty.Repaying debts

The drawing on the IMF isto be used to repay outstandingshort-term debts to centralbanks. , It enables the UnitedKingdom in effect to meet thesecommitments without drawing itsgold reserves down any further.

The news had little effect onthe foreign exchange marketsyesterday. The pound ended theday at its best level of S2 38615in quiet dealings.

Prof. Briggs refutesclaim of militaryand industrial sav

BY OUR OWN REPORTERS

" All culture, all literature and art belong to definiteclasses which are geared to definite political lines," said aplacarded Thought of Mao Tse-tung next to a portrait of himin the junior common room of the University of Sussex, asthe Vice-Chancellor, Professor Asa Briggs, spent an houryesterday at a student meeting rejecting allegations that" the United States and British military-industrial complex "have a decisive say in the running of the university.

Professor Briggs said he was opposed to classifiedresearch at the university, and, as far as he knew, there wasnone. The university would , continue to accept grantsfrom the Defence Depart-ment and f rom trusts andfoundations for nonclassifiedresearch, provided no stringswere attached.

The meeting was called by theFebruary 21st C o m m i t t e e,formed after a demonstration onFebruary 21 in which red paintwas splashed over an AmericanEmbassy official in an anti-Vietnam war protest.

Professor Briggs emphasised:" You should ask what does theuniversity do, not what are thesources of money used to financefoundati ons." No research couldcertainly be without militaryapplications, he said.

Staff at Hornsey College ofArt voted last night to declaretheir b o a rd of governors" defunct "—and f a c e d thedanger of a breach with thelocal authorities, which have sofar reacted sympathetically tothe eight-day-old student " takeover " of the college.

" I am not defunct and I haveno intention of being defunct,"Alderman L a w r e n c e Bains,chairman of the governors, said.The 19 governors include 10members of Haringey BoroughCouncil and one from Enfield.

All-dav meetingAlderman Bains added : " My

colleagues represent ratepayerswho are contributing nearly £1Mpounds towards this college. Isthis defunct, too ? It is a ludicrousidea."

The all-day meeting showeditself as discontented with theart education offered at Hornseyas the students. Wath just twoabstentions more than half of the300 staff promised : "We willactively work with the studentsin the construction of a system ofcourses which give the studentsmore choice of activities andassures them of their education."

Since reporters were bannedfrom the meeting it was impos-sible to discover why the teachersrisked alienating the localauthorities — something thestudents have been careful neverto do.

The Hornsey student actioncommittee has had messages ofsupport from 24 technical andart colleges since it occupied thebuilding and demanded a revolu-tion in courses.

Second-year e c o n o m i c sstudents at the City of LondonCollege have decided to boycottexaminations beginning onMonday. These are internalexaminations, which do notcount towards the final degree.

A statement said that thestudents considered the examsa waste of time.

NEXT WEEK is Mental HealthWeek, when I suppose thatonce again those interested inthe problems of mental illnessand mental handicap will hopeto penetrate the variations ofapathy and hostility withwhich the general public treatthe subject. It is one of theodd features of our attitudesto health that while 50 percent of the sick in our midstsuffer from mental disorder ofone kind or another we devotemost of our sympathy andattention to the other 50 percent whose illness is physical.This situation is not helped bythe fact that many mentalhospitals are still housed inconverted lunatic asylums. OneI visited some years ago as »student in a forensic medicineclass provided my first realappreciation of what some ofour public institutions werelike in the days of CharlesDickens.

Some have overcome the physical' difficulties. One of the mostp r o g r e s s i v e psychiatrichospitals in the world is Dingle-ton Hospital at Melrose inRoxburghshire. A great deal ofmoney has been spent onmodernising the interior withPeter Womersley's imaginativearchitecture and design work.The result is. first, a pleasant

—place in which to carry outimportant work. The previousphysician superintendent wasDr George Bell, a pioneer ofthe open-door policy for psychi-:atric hospitals. His successoris Dr Maxwell Jones, one of.the architects of the "thera-peutic " concept Having visited:the hospital several times Iknew something of the theoryof this treatment : the creation;of groups of patients who worktogether with'the staff and holdregular meetings to discusseach other's problems. Yester-day I attended one of thesegroup meetings for the firsttime and was fascinated to seethe technique in operation

Outside life . '-THE GROUP first discussed ;the

case of a young man who hadtaken up a job on Mondayafter a spell in the hospitaland had "chucked it in " afteronly one day. Why did he giveup the job ? Would he take itup asain tomorrow ? Was hesimply retreating to the com-fort of hospital life instead offacing up to the realities ofthe outside world ? The youngman was slightly uncomfort-able.

New leadIT IS possibly in the field -.of

mental health more than anyother that the tripartite divi-sion of the National HealthService is seen as an abomina-tion. Hospitals in tie Scottishborders are giving a l°ad-''intrying to break down thebarriers betweeu hospitals, localauthority health and social ser-vices, and general practitionersan d by and large the threedivisions are . .cooperating.Indeed, with encouragementfrom the Scottish Home- andHealth Department" and -theRegional ~ Hospital - Board,- aBorders' Health and SocialServices Consultative Commit-tee has been set up as a proto-type of the organisation whichmight follow a new NationalHealth Service Act to replacethe qne now 20 years old.

If the patient stays at homeand merely travels as an out-patient for treatment thisplaces greater demands on acommunity in general and thefamily in particular, especiallyin the case of mental illnessor handicap. To what extentwill the community face this ?Do we tend to steer clear ofpeople with a history of mentalillness and avoid the familieswith a mentally defective child ?

Last Sunday afternoon we enter-tained a group of 10 youngadults who are ' mentallyretarded to tea in our home.They live with their ownfamilies and my wife ' takesthem weekly as a class at anoccupational centre.

Steel union leaders yester-day issued a thinly veiledthreat of industrial action ifthe British Steel Corporationreversed its decision not torecognise separate white-collarunions for the steel industry.

They warned Mrs Castle,Secretary for Employment andProductivity, that if the Cleri-cal a n d AdministrativeWorkers Union and Mr ChveJenkins's Association of Scien-tific, Technical and ManagerialStaffs were recognised indus-trial relations in the industrywould be damaged.

As ,a result, CAWU is to con-tinue its series of one-day tokenstrikes and ASTMS is to con-sider plans for prolonged stop-pages at selected plants. It hasalready called union meetings oncompany time on June 12 as ademonstration.

Under intense pressure fromthe manual unions, the State-owned corporation has agreedthat white-collar workers will berepresented nationally only bythe existing manual unions.

By our own ReporterUnion officials representing

power-station workers at Age-croft, near Manchester, willmeet representatives of thestation management on Fridaynext week to discuss unrestamong the 500 employees aftera decision to reduce the hbourforce.

They will call for a re-etamina-tion of the policy, which is beingapplied to all stations in theregion, before the unrest spreadsto the other 59 stations in theNorth-west. The Central Elec-tricity Generating Board has saidthat any leductions will beachieved bv " natural wastage "—retirements and resignations—not by dismissals.

The main unions concerned—Transport and General Workers,Electrical Trades, and theGeneral and Municipal Workers—understand that a reduction of20 employees at each of theNorth-west stations u theobjective. This, it is claimed,is already causing some disloca-tion at Agecroft. particularlyamong shift workers. Thesituation has come to a headthere first because severalemployees have left and have notbeen replaced.

The station workers hav ealready said they will considerstrike action if the rundown ofthe labour force is not stopped.The problem may also be discus-sed today at a meeting of thej oint industrial council.

Social workers in Manchesterare urgently appealing for morefamilies to take in babies wait-ing to be adopted. They saythat rising illegitimate births aremaking it increasingly difficultto find enough temporary fosterhomes in the area, and antici-pate an acute shortage thissummer.

The Manchester Board forSocial Responsibility, a Churchof England body which makesthe appeal, expects the problemto become most serious in 'thegreater Manchester regions. Thebabies are usually fostered forabout six weeks shortly afterbirth. This prevents seriousemotional u p he a v a l s whenunmarried mothers care fortheir babies until adoptions canbe arranged.

Last year, in EnglanO andWales, there were more than63,000 known illegitimate births.The Manchester diocese dealtwith about 1.125 cases.
