Wait To File Past

King's Coffin

LONDON, Feb. 13 (A.A.P.).

Neorly 15,000 people were woilingin the snow to poy their lost tribute

to their dead King when Westmin-

sterHall opened this morning.

Some waited through the bitterly cold

night outside the hall where the King's

body is lying in State.

The1 silent, shuffling procession of

mourners standing six abreast was already

about one mile long-much longer than at

the same time yesterday.

They moved slowly into the austere, his-

toric hall at the rate of 4000 an hour pastthe raised coffin guarded by soldiers and

'lit by six great candles.

Early indications to-day were that the

crowds would be greater than yesterday.

THEIR LAST DUTY.First to file past the collin to

day was Mrs. Olive Barnard (45]

a housewife from Cowley, nea

Oxford. Behind her were buainessmen,. ''many of whom faai

brought their wives and families

After passing the coffin they hur

ried to work. Bus conductresses

nuns, schoolgirls and clergymeiwere among the queue, all wear

ing some mourning emblem. Man]women left the hall with moisi

?j eyes.v "The Times" says that the fain!

rustle of'many feet on the car

peted stone and the noise ol

stifled coughs were the onlysounds that broke the silence aa

the procession passed down thc

hall on each side of the coffin.

The "Daily Telegraph"' sayi

that mep»Tmd* women ^oitrever**olourvana from^âlnïÂrt^every

country were there. At 20 minute

intervals the" procession passingthe coffin was halted so that the

guard could be changed.One of the Yeomen, toward the

end of his spell, fainted and TelLHe was quickly carried awav and

replaced."It wr- really nothing." the Yeo-

man said afterward. "It is a kindof hypnotism, I suppose, from

watching the passing feet all the

time."

As the people emerged from the

hall their numbers were recorded

by a counting machine nea* theexit. Many afterwards crossed to

Westminster Abbey to pray.

Mr. McEwen said that to datehe had no official knowledge ofany proposal to import New Zea-land butter to help relieve the

butter would still be.dearer thanAustralian butter, which the Gov-ernment subsidised by 1/1} per lb.

He said that there was sufficientbutter in the southern States atpresent to meet the -needs ofQueensland and New South Walesin the immediate future, but tharawas a risk that if it was releasednow there would be a completefamine later. Traders had to de-cide for themselves whether tnrelease it or not.

Mr. McEwen said exports of

butter from Australia had drop-ped to practically. nothing, andexcept for pastry batter none had.beor sent to the United King-dom since last November. In the?even months to the end ofJanuary, which included the peakproduction period in the southernStates, exports totalled barelysom tau

BRITISH REJECTION

OF US. OFFER

TO USE TESTING SITES

ATOM BOMB EXPERIMENTS.

WASHINGTON, feb. 12 (AJLP.).-The State Department said to-

day that Britain had rejected an

offer of the limited use of UnitedStates' atom bomb testing sites.

The department spokesman (Mr.Michael McDermott) said that fhaBritish and United States' tech-nicians had been discussing for the

past four months the possibility of

setting off a British-built atombomb and that the United Stateshad offered facilities r wi thin th»

limW bf the^securlty restrictions,

but the British had decided to use

Commonwealth facilities at leastfor the first one. Mr. McDermottsaid that be was unable to saywhere this would be.

Reuter's correspondent reportedthat when the United States atomicauthorities outlined the Atomic Seerets Act restrictions which would ba

imposed on the test with Ameri-can facilities. Britain decided togo ahead with nlans for a testwithin the Commonwealth possiblyin Australia or Canada.

BRITISH KNOWLEDGE

GROWING.A test with United States' facili-

ties could have provided Americanscientists with valuable informa-tion OQ the progress of the Britishatomic programme. Washingtonauthorities believe that Britain hasmade substantial progress in theatomic field and the United Statesscientist» now engaged on therapidly expanding atomic energyprogramme are convinced thatBritish knowledge could materiallyassist t*w"i

-,

It was felt that if Britain de-veloped her own weapons withoutUnited States' help, this would

greatly improve the prospects oleventual atomic co-operation be-tween the two nations. The mainstumbling block to atomic co-opera-tion between the United States and

Britain has been the opposition aithe United States Congress follow-

ing a leakage of atomic secrets taRussia to any sharing of American

weapons' knowledge with any otheination.

mediately began consultations withhis colleagues and the Partyleaders, on whether the adversevote called for his resignation.The Lower House carried the

motion by 91 votes to 84 with one

abstention. The motion, approvedat a Socialist Party meeting, de-

clared that they were deeplyshocked by the gesture, "whichwould be painfully felt by the

in the mourning by the British

nation of a King who had been

during the war a model of gal-

withdrawing its support of his

Government.

Political commentators believed

that the Premier might dissolve

the Chamber of Deputies, in whichthe Wafdists hold the majority.The crisis was prompted by week-

end disclosures about the riotingof January 26, "Black Saturday."in which the Press battled over

whether or not Fuad Serag .elDin Pasha, then Minister for the

Interior, was or was not mainlyresponsible.

Maher this morning receivedthe Wafdist Speaker of the Lower

House (Abdel Salaam FahmySomma Pasha). The newspaperscarried a statement to-day-"thechief of the army has informedthe Premier that the army per-formed its duty from the moment

' it was asked to Intervene.''

BROTHERSANDMORTHSLIKEY WINNB15

IN OPENINGFOURTHROUNDSERIES

Cairns "A" Grade Major Premiership

(By "Not Out")

On the opening dey in the first series of thefourth and final round of "A" grade fixtures on

Saturday, Brothers and Norths appeared to havereached positions which should enable them to

win from Rovers and Colts, respectively, and so

confine the tussle for the major premiership to

these sides, both of which were unbeaten in thethird round and who should have, after this

series, a substantial lead from Rovers and Colts,who are at present in third and fourth positions.

In scoring 386 for nine wicket

on the No. 3 ova). Brothers owemuch to the fine stand for 188 ii

the fifth wicket between Bill Allendori and Jack Boniface, two bate

men in Brothers long overdue fo

big scores in dub fixtures. Allen

dorrs 144 was a splendid inning!

a continuation of the form be strucj

in the Charters Towers carnival

when he scored 160 runs in thre

appearances. Boniface was run ou

for 83, In which he produced so tn

of the form which characterise)

his batting several seasons agcwhen he was tipped to develop int)

a prolific scoring batsman.

Possibly the most valuable to'

nings of the day was that playeiby JUn Wilson for Colts. Witl

wickets tumbling around bim thi

young left-hander compiled a con-

fident 77. which undoubtedly savechis team from total collapse ant

made Norths' task harder than wai

expected In the early part of thi

innings when their opening bowler!

were well in charge of the matchThe parts played by Stewie Hall

and Wally Strutton in helping tc

rescue Colts were noteworthy con-

tributions.

Few of the spin bowlers in thc

fielding sides could handle the con-

ditions resulting through showers

throughout the afternoon and ii

most cases were expensive. Th<

mediums of Charlie Armstrong, wbc

banded in probably his best per-formance for several seasons in

Cairns in this match, five for 69

and Norths' openers-Keith Crom«

melin and Dr. Westaway-weremost successful. Crommelin toot

took only -one wicket in 14 ove»

costing 23 runs, and Dr. Westawaythree for IS off 10 overs. As a

contrast, slow bowler. JohnnjDunstan (Rovers) bowled only eight

overs for 75 runs, no wickets, while

"Oscar" Olson took two for 74 off

12 overs.

Brothers were in trouble in the

early stages of play against Rovers,

when Armstrong bowled A. Boni-face, and Alf Blyton dismissed O.

Boniface and Q. Horwood in suc-

cessive overs. Hinsch in this

Innings came In fifth wicket down,

Cn unusual position for this well

recognised opener. With Bolton outfor 18 to Langtree, Brothers were

four down for 58. but AUendorf,who had opened the Innings, was

playing with much confidence in

this period despite bis team's bad

start.

The reliability of Brothers' bat-

ting strength was shown in the

partnership which followed between

AUendorf and Jack Boniface. The

latter had been having a lean run,but in this innings he came to

the rescue with a very solid knock.The long partnership ended whenBoniface was run out in attemptinga short run. He included threesixes in his last 28 runs. The

score then was five for 247 and

AUendorf was weU past his cen-

tury.

Brothers continued to force tb*

pace, but they again lost quickwickets after AUendorf went at 265.

m his 144 were five fours and foursixes. His wicket was the secondtaken by Armstrong, who claimed

the wickets of Hinsch, Dr. Morrisey, !

a. new player with Brothers, and

Ball, in the space of 13 deliveries,and compelled Brothers' last two

batsmen. Dr. Ross, also to new-

comer to Cairns cricket, and Welchto hold on until stumps. It is quita

likely that Brothers will continue

their innings next Saturday.j

Colts fared even worse than Bro-

thers in their commencemens

against Norths. Both Crommelin

and Dr. Westaway were right on

the spot, with the latter bowlingextremely well to dismiss O. Car

keet, O. Bowtell and A. Campbell

in the tint four overt, taree otwhich were maidens. Crommelin

made the score four for lt bybowling Carr, Colts' best batsman,who failed to open his account

Hail, who bas stood to Colts on

many occasions by bis typically de-fensive cricket, then helped Wilson

to "drag" Coito from toe' tifJilr"'THand although Hall got only 21 ofthe fifth wicket partnership of 67,be saw the score immeasurablyimproved. His wicket fell in Olson's

eighth over, a valuable staudCrokers Immédiat» dismissal left

Colts six down for S3, a disappoint-

ing position on the . number one

ground.The long uphill fight was taken

up by Wilson, facing a most awk-

ward situation. Strutton, regardedmore as a bowler than a batsman,but a player continually getting;useful scores, combined with Wil-

son again to hold Norths' bowlersout and improve Colts' score. The

partnership was broken when

Snars bowled Strutton for 38 with

the partnership worth 65 runs.

Holden helped Wilson to carry the

score to 175, when Wilson was

neatly caught and bowled byMunro, who two balls later foundWegert's stumps to end the inn-

ings. Holden hit a six and a four

in his 16 not out and Colts batted

one man short.Munro took the average with twa

for five, but on the day, Or. West-aways performance of three for 15

off 10 overs was considered tba

best bowling effort for Norths. He

and Crommelin bowled practicallyhalf af the 52 overs sent down by

Norths for a total cost of only 37

runs.

SUNDAY'S GAMES HAMPERED

Worse conditions existed in Sun-

day's reserve grade games, the prograss of which was hampered byheavy showers throughout the

afternoon. No decisions have been

reached tn any of the matches, botthere is every chance of Norths de-

feating Watersiders on the numbertwo ground and Rovers winningfrom Colts- It looks as thoughRovers, co-leaders with Watersid-

ers, have an excellent chance in

this series to clinch a solid grip ot

the major-premiership and enterthe grand final

Scores were: Colts 131. Rovenone for 27; Watersiders 114, Norths

yet to bat; Brothers 155, Banks no

wickets for 10.Four Rovers bowlers shared tb"

wickets against Colts, with R.

Langtree taking three. Cliff Smith(34). topped for Coils and "B"

grader. Kev. Crathcrn, made merryfor 32, the only scores of note inthe inn in es. Sanders was the bats-man dismissed in Rovers, who re-

quire 105 more runs with ninawickets to fall, among whom are

dependable batsmen in James.Webb and Duff.

Arthur Strike was practically th«only batsmen in Watersiders tadeal successfully with the slows olArthur Spowart (six for 41) andErnie Wales (three for 27>. Olthe team. Strike (43). S. Britton(16). and J. McAulfife (14), con-tributed the only scores over ben.Four of Spowart's victims wer«

bowled.. Top score In Brothers was by

Laurie Boniface (37). followed biuseful knocks by T. Curtin (28),F. Skinner (26) and J. Leahy (23not out). Under very unpleasantconditions. Ron Kirkwood dismiss-ed five for 50. Banks', most usedbowler. Shearer (three for 42). waimost accurate throughout the 14

overs bowled by him. An appea'against the light ty Banks witttheir score 10 without loss endedplay for the dar.

"B" GRADEDue to the withdrawal of Bro-

ther's teams from the "B"' grade,the game between Freshwater andNorths was the only match in tbasecond last series played on Sun-

day. At stumps. Freshwater were

in a strong position, having losttwo for 76 in replying to Norths*score of 91. Any winning decisionreached by Freshwater means thatthis team would meet colts with

equal points in the next and finalseries of the major premiership. AsColts are already minor-premiers, it

world be necessary for Freshwaterto defeat them twice to rel'eve the

present holders of premiership hon-ours.

I. Barris' 21 was top score forNorths. Ernie Brown, the -captain,made 20. D. Hook 18, and M. Gra-ham 14. while three bowlers. J.

Bettany, P- Killoran and R. Franzi

each took three wickets. Fresh-water's reply was 76 for two. W,

BOWLS

I CAIRNS MASONIC. I

The only competition game

played during the last week-endwas the graded threes, which was

played on Saturday afternoon and

resulted in a win for W. Price, J.

Williamson and C. Willis, who de«

feated W. Francis (substitutingfor J. White), T. Williamson andW. Lindsay. 18-16.

This game, although played on

a very heavy green, producedsome very good bowls, with eitherside giving no more than one or

two away on each end.At the 17th end it looked as

though Bill Lindsay's team (who

were leading 15-13). would win,but at the next end Clarrie Wil-lis' team scored a three, and from

then,on went on to win with a

narrow .margin of 18-16.

Players for the graded threes

to play next Saturday at 2 p.m.are N. Guild, J. Franzmann, S.Richardson v. F. Holle, W. Jen-

sen, R. McFarlane; A. Peters, O.

Taws«, J. Shaw v. P. Kexilas, N.

marred the match against theCairns Bowling Club, which badto be postponed, Members nopeit will not be long before thepostponed match will be played.

On Sunday, February 24, thepresident (Mr. Jim Hing) will be

bringing bis bowlers from SouthJohnstone to play on the CairneMasonic green and club members

I SAILING I

FIRST RACK OF NSWUMBU

I <By "Centreboard.") I

On Sunday afternoon next. Feb»ruary 17, the first race of a seriesof three races for the valuableTom McDonald trophy will berun. Starting time is sat down

for 2J0 pm. and the race will besailed over the usual inside

courses Nos. 1 and 4.

About this time each sailing

season this trophy is- raced for,and all boats are out to take off

the trophy donated by the presi-dent of the Cairns Aquatic Club.Mr. T. McDonald.

Last-season Heathermae was th«

successful skiff to havs the honourof being presented with the tro-

phy. N.B.S. actually won theseries, but was unfortunate to bsdisqualified after finishing first in

the Ansi race and forfeited allclaims to the trophy.

NJLS. at present is sailing at

the top of her form, having won

the last two races she has started

in. Last Sundays win in the sec-

ond heat' of the Club champion-ship wat . credit to both boat andcrew. N.B.S. waa also successful

te the handicap event. So patronscan be assured that NJLS. will be

all-out to make amends for her

defeat in the series last season byendeavouring to win this season.

O'Meara IV (Chris Bolton) is

also a consistent performer this

season, and although well bock inj

the handicaps, always gives a

good account of herself. O'MearaIV finished second to N.B.S. inthe second heat of both the han-

dicap and championship event,and is still leading on points forthis year's club championship,having won the first heat.

Heathermae (G. Manning) hassailed remarkably well through-out the season and so far has fivewins to her credit, together with

'many minor placings. A winnerI cf this series last season, Heather-

mae will be striving to again nava

tbe honour of holding this trophy.Vinoma (Bill Tredrea) has come

good again after a bad start earlyin the season. Vinoma, over tho

last few Sundays, has always been

up with the leaders at the finish.The skiff is sailing well now andshould go on to a successful finish

of the season.On form. Vinoma looks to have

a great chance of taking the firstrace of this series next Sunday.The skiff which will prove a real

danger to Vinoma is Noel-ess-dee.skippered by Lindsay Joice. This

boat has not had luck so far thisseason and has not been creditedwith a win. Noell-ess-dee actuallywon a couple of weeks ago, butwas disqualified for a breach ofthe sailing rules. Noell-ess-deeturned in a grand race last week,after being away to a bad start,to get up to dead-heat for thirdwith Vinoma. Sunday's race

should be a duel between thesetwo boats.

Starlark (Hec Manning) was byno means disgraced last Sunday.Starlark was well up with the

bunch when they turned for homebut suffered a bad cut-off in thebreeze, which left her in a lull for

a- considerable period, losing all

chance of a place.

Nim (Firth Bolton) is rather

patchy at present. Nim was sec-

ond to NH.S. at one stage last

week, but what ground she made

up on the runs was lost on the

slog and at the finish was in front

of only one boat.

TE AINEE RACE

The trainee fleet will revertback to the series for the GeoHull and Cari Mellick trophiesSunday's race will be the second

race of a series of three" races forthe trophies. Starting time islaid down for 2.10 p.m. and willbc sailed on course 1 and 3.

Fourteen trainees will face thestarter. It is pleasing to note thatthe trainee fleet is steadily in-

creasing again. There should be17 trainees in the water shortly.

Xmas (J. Leary) was a winner

in thc first race of this series, andis now sailing at her top. Thesecond to Olympic in thc cham-

pionship last Sunday proved her

to be a class boat, even if an oldone. Olympic (Chris Bolton) is

at present master, of the trainee

fleet. Since this boat has beensailing it has had remarkable suc-

cess, and in light breezes Olympicis almost unbeatable. Dolphin(Tom Winkworth) is striking goodform and turned in a good race

last week for a second in thehandicap event. Joy-C (N. Joice)a new boat this season, in her

only two starts shows that she is

going to be a class boat shortly.Caroleen H (Dick Bolton), presentclub champion, could do no bet-

ter than a fourth last week, but

everyone has a bad day occasion-

ally. Torment (Merv Scholz)looks like striking form again.Linda (Miss A. Hodel) is due for

a win any day now, for she has

her boat sailing very well on thewind. Pirate went close lastweek and will do better. Flight.Fox and Lightning were hopelesslyout of it. A better race fromthese boats is expected next Sun-

day.Before declaring the meeting

open last Monday night, the com-

modore (Mr. W. J. Tredrea) askedall members to stand ind

observe one minute's silence as a,mark of respect to the late KingGeorge VI. On Sunday afternoonlast each skiff and trainee carrieda black pennant from the peak

I Malgl« atetaaee eraat at

Dsaniaa oa Saturday.

In seven Brisbane starts Amerybas won three times, been secondonce and third twice. At Ms last

appearance he was beaten by a

head tn a camera finish in theAustralia Day Handicap over ll

furlongs at Eagle Farm by Vcussoir. Amery carried 7.10 in that

race and has only llb. more for

Saturday's run. Previous to that

defeat he had come with a terrificfinishing run to win the 10 fur-

longs January Handicap at Doom-ben on January 12. He has been

a model of consistency, his three

runs before his Doomben victorygiving him a third in a nine fur-

longs Trial Handicap at EagleFarm, a win ia an Encourage Han-dicap on the same track and awin in a nine and a quarter fur-

longs Encourage Handicap at Bun-

damba. His main danger on Satur-day would appear to come from

Voussoir, Daasrae and the improv-

ing Carapooe.Voussoir, carrying 8.7. showed a

return to form by taking the Aus-tralia Day Handicap over ll fur-

longs at Eagle Farm on January

28. beating Amery by a head, with

Daaerae a neck away third. He is

top weight for Saturday with 9.0Previous to his Australia Day Han-

dicap win Voussoir had not runa place in four starts, his bestperformance in that period beingfifth in Amery's January Handicapat Doomben on January 13. Hehas been a hard horse to train

because of shoulder trouble, buttrainer Bob Glover with salt watertreatment and beach work seems

to have got him right again.Daaerae carried 8.0 in third place

to Voussoir and Amery last time

out and drops down 21b. to 7.12 for

Saturday's run. That third was hisbest performance for some time,but on his day he is a good class!

of middle distance performerCarapooe has done most of his

recent racing on provincial tracksand has won at hts last two starts.He took the mile Anniversary Han-dicap at Oxenford last week,

carrying 8.7, beating Pale Tip andSlr Canning, and won the mlle

January Handicap at Southport on

January 23 from Blue Lass and

Wahay with 9.0. His last metro-

politan run saw him finish second

last in Amery's January Handicapat Doomben on January 12, but

previous to that he was secondto Gay Craft in the 10-furlong New

Year's Gift at Eagle Farm on

January 1.

Among the lesser lights, JungleLaw. who won the 10 furlongs Trial

Handicap at Eagle Farm on Janu-

ary 29. should not be overlooked.

FLYING HANDICAP.

Dream, Had Easy and Fort Daylook the pick of the sprinters en-

gaged in the Flying Handicap to

he run over 7 furlongs less 83yards.

Dream showed a return to form

last start when ehe made no mis-

take about the seven furlongsBribie Handicap at Eagle Farm on

January 26. She carried 7.9 that

day and goes up to 8.7 for Satur-

day's race. Previous to her EagleFarm win. Dream had had a suc-

cession of unplaced runs, her best

being fourth in the Flying Handi-

cap at Doomben on January 12.Dream also has been nominatedfor the February Handicap on Sat-

urday and that may race may be

preferred for her.Had Easy, carrying 8.2, was third

to Dream last time out, and with

only 31b. more for Saturday's run

has a definite pull in weights over

the Talking mare. Had Easy hasbeen a consistent galloper. He has

had 16 starts for seven wins andhas been farther back than third

only once.Fort Day, with 7.9. was fifth in

Dream's Bribie Handicap at hislast appearance and drops downllb. more. Previous to that failure

he was third to Had Easy and Tar-

red at Doomben on January 12, and

before that won thc Open Handicapover seven furlongs at Eagle Farm.

Ria warra makes most appeal of

the lightweight division. Last time

out with 7.7 he was third to Hallmaster and Mr. Standby in the

six furlongs December Handicapat Eagle Farm on December 29, andbe is well treated with a similar

weight in Saturday's sprint.

Known throughout the north of

England as "perhaps the grandesthorse that was ever foaled,'* the

mighty Blacklock is renowned for

an event in which he figured pro-

minently even though it took placeyears after his death. After the

horse had been buried some six

years, owner Prank Watt sudden-

ly decided to have the skeleton

dug up and re-assembled.Then he purchased a human skele-

ton and had it mounted on Black

lock's back. The gruesome pairwere then exhibited at agricul-tural meetings around th» country-

side, where the yokels stared in

amazement as a hidden string was

pulled causing the skeleton riderto snap his teeth at them.

. . . i

Athletes who complain about;the rigours of training would do,well to study the daily routine of

¡

the immortal Indian wrestler.Gama. From his boyhood Gamarose at four or five, did from 1500to 2000 bhaitaks, a sort ot deepknee bend, and a few hundred

dands or rhythmic press-ups. After

a brief rest, during which he would

eat a paste made from a pound of

almonds mixed with milk and

sugar, the day's work would begin.

First he would spend about an

hour and a half wrestling, then j

after being massaged he would cat :

a big meal and rest until bali past?

two. At this" time he did about.

2500 more dands and bha:t? :s.;

following this up by drawing a

plough or being harnessed, to a;Persian water wheel. The day'sroutine would then finish with a;run of two or three miles.

Some years before English speed-

way racing was held under its pre-sent rigid control. Jack Parkerwas competing at a meeting inExeter when he fell while well

in the lead. This left the second

man with the race well and trulyin his keeping, but on the third

lap he too fell in the same spotas Parker. Getting up he Wed torestart his bike, only to find that

a chain had broken. The two other

contestants in the race were mean-

while cruising round the track andthis was evidently more than

Parker could bear to see. With a

; grin he said to the rider whese

i

broken chain had lost him the: race, "'Here take this bike of mine! and you'll win yet." The rider was

. quick to accept the offer and rode

:to such effect that he got up on

the post to win. None of the trackofficials had witnessed the substi-

tution so they were quite preparedto declare the rider wbo had bor-rowed Parker's machine the win-

ner. Everything, however, was

eventually put right and the prize

money was handed over to the law-

ful winner.* . * .

GREAT NAMES TN SPORT:

Tommy Burns. Although he mayhave lacked the skill of the heavy-weight fighters who came before

and after him. Burns was second

to none as a personality. A French

Canadian, his real name was Noah

Brusso but he adopted the name of

Tommy Bums when he made his

first ring appearances in Detroitat the beginning of the century.After Jeffries retired from the

coveted position of title holder.Burns laid claim to the positionbut was not taken seriously.

Tommy then decided that the best

way to gain recognition was totravel the world and defeat each

national champion on his home

ground. After disposing of Bill

Squires, in California, Burns tra-velled to England where he easilydefeated Gunner Moir and Jack

Palmer. Then up popped JackJohnson. Burns, however, decided

that there was easier money to be¡

made elsewhere and refused tO|fight the negro. After victories in

'

Dublin and Paris, Burns came out,

to Australia closely followed by I

Johnson. After polishing off Bill'

Squires again and knocking outi

BUI Lang in two rounds. Burns'

found himself faced with the pros-

pect of meeting Johnson. This he.did at Rushcutter stadium on !

Boxing Day, 1908, when the Negro |

gave Tommy "his £6000 worth."j

as he put it. punishing the cham-j

pion unmercifully until the fight'

was stepped in the fourteenth. !

Burns seldom fought after that. ?

although he did once mest the

English champion Joe Beckett, de- j

voting himself to running a haber

dashery shop and then a public !

house before becoming a clergyman. :* * * . »

BUSINESS' INTJERESTSDISTURBED

(From our special représentât ve)

CANBERRA. Fe». 4.-There

heve keen futter angry ex.

chances between the Directorof the Associated Chambers ofMaaofactarea (Mr. Latham

I Withall) and members of theMenzies Cabinet. The prospect

I of Japan being admitted as a

member nation in the generalagreement on tariffs and trade

!

has been raining much con.

eera to Aastralian manufac-turers and with the approach,.f the debate in ParllanentOB the ratification of the

Japanese peace treaty thesituation is becoming mere

acate. Bat this ls not the onlything that is worrying businessinterests.

The Minister for Trade and Cus! toms (Senator Neil O'Sullivan) re-

cently stated that it had not yet;

been decided whether Japan would1be admitted to G.A.T.T., but in

! any case there need be no fearthat the Government would fail to

protect Australian industries a

I gainst any unfair competition.j

Some "mushroom andr non-essen-

tial industries" might perhaps suf-fer under the general agreement,but it would not damage cnyeconomically-based essential in-dustry.

In a spirited reply, Mr. Withallsaid the reference to "mushroomand non-essential industries" was

! most offensive to Australian indus-try as a whole, and pending a

I public statement from the Ministeras to the industries which came

¡

under that designation it could

only be inferred that he was "in

{favour of Australia being used asa dumping ground for the pro

j

ducts of the mushroom and non-

essential industries of Japan. Inpractical terms the Minister'swords mean that the lighter indus-tries of Australia, with .heir

[ valuable employment-giving andwealth-producing potentials, are

to be surrendered cheerfully to

Japan and that the Australian[taxpayers who have invested inthese industries and thc men and

: women who work in them are tobe thrown aside as of no account."

! "INSULTS AND AFFRONTS"

I In his latest Canberra Letter,

j

the Director of A.C.M.A. refers toa recent article in the "ManchesterGuardian" from which some ex-tracts were cabled to the Austral-ian Press. He says it is too stupidto be taken seriously except forone aspect-"it is largely composedof quotations from an Australianeconomist."

He quotes some "typical pas-sages" . .

. "How much better,argues Mr. Clark, if more Austral-ians had stayed on the land in-stead of being lured into factoriesby high wages and city amenitiesIt is an astonishing, indisputablefact that Australia emplovs smuch larger , proportion of itslabour forces in manufactures thanthe United States. Each rura:

;

worker, it is estimated, is pro.! ducing 50 per cent more than ht

was m 1938-39. but because o)shorter working hours and ineffi-

ciency at all levels there has oeer

hardly any increase in manufacturing output A first necessitythe economist would say, is to revise the Australian tarff schedulewhich shelters inefficient, high,cost manufactures."

Under the heading of "Los

Week-End". Mr. Withall proceeds"At the Summer School of Political Sconce, which held its annual jamboree at Canberra ove:the week-end, a parer given bjthe Minister for Labour iMrHolt) continues the vendett

against, the Australian mp.nufac

turing industry. The naper wa:

well in l'ne with the "Mancheste:Guardian" theme. Figures on in

dustry were of the similar ha'ftruth or less kind. The same discredited comparison was drawiwith U.S.A. industry, w'th th.

same criticism of the use nf man

power by secondary industry ani

?he same false picture .- labour

Istarved agriculturists,

i

? "The Governr-.ent will nay dearI ly for the current distortion of th

¡facts of industry and for the inI suits and affronts that are bein! constantly showered upon Austral

ian manufacturers. These diatribe

jagainst our industries will no

1 hoodwink the primary prouueer o

;the public. The recession in rum

1 industry is not related to an;'

expansion in manufacturing indus

try but is due to over-taxation an

price controls."

ANGRY MR. ANTHON Y

Now comes the Postmastet

General (Mr. H. L. Anthony) o

the scene. He accuses Mr. W.thaof Acing a "headline-hunter engajtag in dangerous sniping of thnational economic programme."

"Over-taxation is not a factoin rural recession any more thait is a factor in any other indui

try," says Mr. Anthony, who is

leading member of the Countr

Party. "In fact primary produce!enjoy tax concession not grantsto other taxpayers, such as til

modified averaging system, dedutions for* capital expenditurwater conservation, soil erosicmeasures and the like."

Befort the Menzies-Fadden Go'

ernment took office. Mr. Author

adds. Mr. Withall was "as loud i

anyone in crying out for a pri

gramme that would put the n;

Hon's economy on an even ke«after the battering it had taktfrom the effects of Sociaiisbut the type of propaganda he w;

now indulging in was only suitabfor the Sydney Domain.

Mr. Withall retorts that the Posmaster-General's protests in su;

port of "the so-called "Econom

Flan', which is no plan at all ba collection of conflicting theo

ies," will add to the general feiin g of apprehension in Australia

industry."The Minister's contribution

far to the Australian economy ai

to the cost-of-living problem," 1

says, "has been to double tcharges for stamps, telephonitelegrams and radio licences in

months, which surely is an a

time record of inflation. He c;

claim full credit for that He c

claim part-credit also for t

Budget of last year which,crippling and selective taxatic

brought food production virtuato a standstill. His denial that hi;taxation was the factor in nu

recession is in contradiction

statements made in the last fi

weeks by leaders in every sectiof primary production.

"His statement that the Chai

jhers of Manufactures had lo

advocated the very prog, ami

adopted is emphatically repudia!¡and is a wicked distortion. T

,

Chambers render GovernmetI both Federal and State, every p

sible aid in support of conatn

tive policies designed to expaall spheres of production, pmary, secondary and tertiary.

Iis precisely for that reason tl

negative and destructive imp! visations, which ore the comp!j

antithesis of approved electo; policies, very naturally must co

? un«*er review and criticism."

I These are cutting words a

taken in conjunction withA.C.M.A's protests against Atralia's participation in the G

ieral

Agreement on Tariffs s

Trade, are not calculated to add

the Government's comfort at

time when the Opposition si ab

to launch its attack against the

ratification of the Japaxese peacetreaty. We may be sure that Dr.Evatt and his followers will notfail to take advantage of the oc-

casion to win support from those

who are engaged in industries thatare threatened by the competitionof cheap Japanese goods.

RUSSIANS TURNING

TO TENNIS

MAT TAKE PAKT INDAVIS CUP

BUT HAVE A LOT OF WORKTO TRAIN

MOSCOW (A.P.).-The Sov-iet Union, «hick is fortinsahead in many sparts, is still

not makins mach progress iatennis. With thc Kassia BS

Biennial te take part in tass

sanuaer's Olympic Games in

Helsinki, one may be certainthat they also woola like to

take part in international ten-

nis competitiens

There is a feeling here that lt

may only be a mattsr of time be-

fore the Russians take part in the

Davis Cup. But a lot of work

must be done here before that.Tennis is not being developed

here to suit some people, says R.

Serebryakov, vice-p>esident of tbatennis section of the Central Houseof the Soviet Ann v. une of the big-

gest sporting groups."For several year» in a row no*,*'

he said in a letter to KomsomolPravda, "it is remarked after everyall-union tennis tournament that

the young players are offering no

serious resistance jto the masters,and that the number of young

players taking part in the game is

very small.**

He asked why this was, and then

answered himself. He said the

principal responsibility lies with

the Ail-Union Committee on Phy-sical Culture and Sports.

He charged the committee with

showing little concern for the de-

velopment of tennis.

NO TENNIS PLATERS

The All-Union Committee on

Physical Culture and Sports is tho

highest sporting body in the US.

S¿t.. and when such criticism is

îeveTed at it as bas been by Sere-

bryakov, some action is likely to bstaken.

The Soviet Army tennis sectionofficial said there are 3605 rated

tennis players who are regularlyparticipating in the various tennis

sections of the country's sporting

organisationsTo anyone this is not satisfactory

for a nation with approximately2CO.000.000 people who play nearly

every other kind of sport and play

welL

"There is practically no tennis in

the voluntary sporting societies of

the trade unions, the institutes and

the secondary schools," said Sere-

bryakov. "In a whole series of

cb'.asts (big administrative districts

of the country) there are no tennis

players at ail."

He made further charges.

"The heads of the committee and

the council of trainers (coaches) ar©

i doing no serious work even with

the crack team of the country.

"Many of the leading masters.

Fridland, Andreev, Lukirsky, play

a defensive type of game not

characifiristic of Soviet sportsmen.All this is known to the committee,

but pushing tennis toto the back-

ground, it is showing no concern

even for the leading sportsmen."The tennis official said 6ome of

the masters take the liberty of

violating sport discipline.

REFEREE INSULTED

''Thus," be explained, "thej lead-

ing tennis player of Tifus, V. Urae

vsky, grossly insulted a referee

after losing a match. Such cases

are not isolated, and they point to

poor educational work with tho

I

masters of tennis."

He ca'led on the Young Com

! munist League and physical cul

¡ lure organisations to extend assist:

ance in developing tennis among

children.

"Almost ail schools have play

groinds," he said, "but they are

built without tennis courts, though

it is not very hard to set up a sta-

ple tennis court

"There are many boys and girlswho want to play tennis, and if our

masters extended assistance to the

school children, success would be

assured."He also made a strong plea to

build more tennis courts in Moscow

and all over the cuontry-indoorones as weil as outdoor courts.

I

Patrick O'Donovan ia a corres-

pondent of the London "Observer"«ho has recently spent some tunein Africa and broadcast five talks

on bis experiences. In another

broadcast in the B3.Cs "London

Calling Asia" programme he des-

cribed Euston Station when a

party of overseas students arrived

in England. There are 10,000 of

these students in Britain, nearlyS00O of them from British territor-

ies, and O'Donovan said that the

officials who gathered to meet the

latest contingent at Euston were'

worried-looking men with lists in

their hands. They wore armbands

saying "British Council" (which ls

a non-official, non-political oigan

isation that maintains centres in

most of the great cities of the

world and whose function it is to

inform pe opie about Britain and

her culture). When the train

came in, filled with Africans carry-

ing amidst their luggage wicker

baskets of strange shapes and col-

ours that looked most incongruousunder the gloomy, soot-stained

arches of Euston, the Englishmenmoved among them and the friends

who had come to greet them, di-

recting operations and sending thenewcomers to a hotel.

O'Donovan reflected that it waa

only a few years ago that such an

organisation for students' welfare

came into being. Before then most

students arrived in London with

no idea of where to stay and many

of them, strangers lost in the vast

mass of brick and mortar that ia

London, were overcharged and

cheated. Now tba council, acting

as the Government's agent, has

taken over the duty of caring for

the students who will one day piaya leading part in their own lands.

After the first night at the select-

ed hotel they look after themselves

as any ether students in Britain

would, for the student populationof England alone is 60,000, and m

the great universities most of them

find their own rooms with the helpof accommodation committees. But

finding accommodation is mora

difficult for overseas than for home

students and the British Councilnow runs a fairly large organis-ation to see that such young peo-

ple are properly lodged and not ex-

ploded. It is the duty of seven

women regularly to visit lodgings

to report on prices charged, whe-

ther the students are allowed to do

their own cooking, as. so many of

them wish, and also what national-

ities the landlady likes to enter-

tain. If the landladies prove un-

suitable their names are removedfrom the register. Unfortunatelythere are still some who behave

badly and display stupid racial pre-

judice but their opportunities for

doing harm are being limited. O'

Donoval said, "But students are a

funny lot. It is the time in a

man's life when a little mental ex-

travagance, a little exaggeration is

permissible and healths. Students

ot all races are largely the same

in this respect and certainly some

of the overseas students are as ex-

treme in their ways as any Brit-

ish undergraduate, and I do not

tvilnk it. matters." Now the badold ways are being graduallychanged and most of the young

people are being cared for as we'd

as any of their own people coulddeslíe.

THE NATIONAL

PARLIAMENT

SATiABTKB AMD

ALLOWANCES

(From our special representative)

GAMBEBKA, Feb. S.-Tb«resort of the Committee whick

inquired into the nbject ofsalaries and allowances of

. Members of the NationalParliament, and of whick Btr.Justice H. 8. Nicholas wu

chairman, centains asase In-teres tins" observations on the

duties of Members of Parlia-

ment, their expenditure and

their needs, which vary ac.

cording to tbe aise of their I

electorates ana their distancefrom Canberra.

"The seat of government," it

is remarked, "has been fixed at

Canberra, a city in 1951 of ap-proximately 25.C00 inhabitants.The consequences of this provis-ion is that a Member of Parlia-ment is cut off from his profes-sion or business for at least halfof each year. Some Members suf-fer less than others, some canleave a business to a partner or

manager, but none has the oppor-tunity which is open to someMembers of a State Parliament ofestablishing an agency or a

branch or practising a professionin a centre of population. An-other consequence is that Mem-bers must live in a hotel whc. ¿

life is necessarily expensive, un-less they are fortunate enough tohave a house at Canberra. Theexpense is m>tieated by a living

I allowance, but the allowance fallsshort of the whole cost, even

though the Member may obtaintwo of his three meals at the Par-

liamentary dining room. A Mem-

ber is under additional expensefor which there is no allowance,except for travel, if his wifevisits him at Canberra. He must,as a rule, maintain another homein his constituency or in one ofthe centres of population.

"Some of the constituencies ex-

tend over many thousands ofsquare miles, in some instances

more than 100,000, so that a Mem-

ber who visits the different cen-

tres in his electorate and studiesits different interests, whetherfrom a sense of duty or from adesire to acquaint himself withthe needs of his electorate, or

merely from a wish not to lose his

seat, must incur heavy personalexpenses and occupy a great partof the parliamentary recess "in

political business."For air travel there Is an al-

lowance which, for Western Aus-tralia or Queensland in particular,is totally inadequate. Again, if aMember wishes to learn some-

thing of Australia outside his con

atituenucy, he mutt travel by air.and car for the most part at hisown expense.

"The payment of subscriptionsto charitable and sporting bodiesvaries very much with individual

Members. One Member who has

held his seat for over 20 years de-scribes the claims of sporting bod-ies as so much blackmail. Othersfelt able to discriminate. Thereare. we think, instances in which'a subscription by a Member doesadd to the status of a deservingappeal, but we have no doubt thatin a great number of instances thedemands are excessive and the r~sistance defective."

WHAT LLOYD OEOKGE SAID

The Committee quotes the re-

mark of Lloyd George when in-

troducing a proposal for the pay-ment of Members in tbe House ofCommons in 1911, that the sumshould be sufficient to enable a

man to live comfortably and hon.ourably, but not luxuriously. It

also refers to a recent statementby Mr. Menzies that, while publicoffice should not be a means ofprivate profit, it should not in-

volve such loss or financial em-barrassment as to make it diffi-cult for people without privatemeans to enter Parliament or sitin the Cabinet

The report continues: "From

another angle it has been said

that the salary should not be suchas of itself to be an inducementto men to enter political life, but

that it should not be so small as

to be a deterrent. We would addone general and one particular ob-servation. The general observationis that the aim of any recommen-

dation should be to obtain theParliament best suited to theneeds of Australia at the presenttime: and in the term 'Parliament'we include the Party room where,so we were assured, important de-cisions are taken and the plansof party leaders may bc modified

or reversed. The particular obser! vation is that the salary should be[such as to enable a young man,

a man who has to educate a fam-

ily, to take part in political life

and not to debar a man who. al.

though he may have fitted him-self to earn a living, has no pri-vate income of his own.

"We were impressed by the figures given us by Members in in-

terviews and in written state-

ments and the corroboration af

forded by official statistics. It

appeared from this and other ma.

terial that the nominal salary ol

allowance payable to a Membeiis tar in excess of the amount ac

tua Hy available for the mainten-ance of himself and his borne. Wi

reached this conclusion after takin» into account any privileges t<

which he may be entitled as I

Member of Parliament and the deductions from his assessable income at present allowed by thiTaxation Commissioner.

"LESS THAN THE BASIC

WAGE"

"It was suggested by some o

dur correspondents that a Mernber of Parliament is allowed som

deductions from his taxable income which are not allowed t

other taxpayers. A Member oParliament pays income tax o:

the same basis as other taxpayer)The deductions allowed to hil

represent the expenses which, ii

the opinion of the Commissioneiare legitimately incurred in earn

ing his income. (A detailed stat«

raent of the deductions allow«

by the Commissioner is set ol

in an Appendix)."It will be seen that we rec orr

mend thnt a Member be allowed

sum additional to the parliamertary allowance which is to be ta:

free and not subject to any di

duction, and which will superset)the amount previously deduct«

for expenses. We found that innumber of instances the amoui

available to a Member or Senateafter taking account of thc *:

penses necessarily or actually ii

curred in the performance o' h

duties was less than half h

nominal salary, and in some ii

stances was less than the bas

wage. This conclusion was resd

ed after à line had been draa

between those expenses attrfbu

able to a household or busin«and those attributable exclusive

to the Vluties of a Member of Pa

llameat"We found that the estimates

a Member of Parliament's fina;

elsi position, revealed in manythe letters sent In reply to si

advertisement, were errónea

and took no account of necessai

deductions: and over-estimated <

misunderstood the privilegeswhich a Member wat entitled, tl

found that a Member who hi

capital of hit own was frequent

I

=

compelled to trench on his funds

unless he had a substantial in.

come from some extra-parliamen-tary source. A Member who had

neither private income nor capi-tal would be hard put to it to

maintain even a most frugal stan

d¡»»-«1 of livirie."

The recommendations of the

Committee for a substantial in-

crease in the salaries of Members

of the Senate and House nf Rep-resentatives, and for special tax

free amounts according to certa'n

groups of electorates, have al

re;>rlv been published."We have borne in mind." th?

Committee states, "the dancer of

encoi»ragini» tht> so-called profes-

sional politician who may he de

'ln#d es a man who regards r

«eat In Parlament as a source of

livelihood and not as a means of

furthering a ccuse nnd therebv

serving his country. The dangerexists, hut in our njjirion «.its

"".»«rnitu^e bas been exaggerated. The professional politician Is nit

"kely to hr>ld his seat for long.

We think that amone candidate::

and Members the desire to serve

the rountrv or a cause is the dom-

inant motive for entérine" publiclife and tt>:>t almost all Members

have somethine to eonr-'bnte."

"Indeed, we echo the findings of

the New Zealand Commission that

the zest and interest of publicservice is one of the compensa-

tions for the small reward of a

parliamentary career."

POSITION OF MINISTEM

Considerable increases are pro

nosed in the emoluments .of the

Prime Minister and Other'Minis-ters, the Opposition leaders in

both Houses, the Sneaker, the

President of the Senate and

Chairman of Committees.

Mr. Justice Nicholas' committee

reported: "The Prime Minister of

Australia at present receives a

salary less than the manager of

one of the larger trading or manu-

facturing organisations. His pen-sion when he leaves Parliament,is approximately £400 per annum,

and recent history offers more

than one ''lustration of the gravedemands that office makes or is

likely to make oh his health. We

do not suggest that a Prime Min-

ister of Australia should have the

income of a successful physicianor barrister, or the manager of a

great business, but be should re-

ceive a salary which will enable

him to carry out th* duties of his

office with dignity, free from care

and without recourse to his sav-

ings. Further, he should not be

oppressed with anxiety for the

future of his family or himself."

Concerning Ministers generally,tb* report states: "Government

has become a business in almost

all its departments. Each Minister

is one of the managers of this

business, differing from a com

' mercial executive only in the un-

certainty of his position. He has

to travel throughout Australia,and sometimes to other countries.

In the majority of instances the

Ísalary

of-a Minister ls less thanthat of th« head of hts Depart.

FASHION GIANT IS

TINY WOMENj

NEW YORK (Af.).-A smtlsfac tory «hare of America's u tril-

lion dollars, a year fashion busi-

ness goes to a tiny woman with a

sparkling smile, who, despite her

miniature size of less than 5ft., is

known as one of the giants of New

York's garment industry.She is Adele Simpson, dainty,

petite and the equal of any two

fisted tycoon in Wall-street whenit comes to business acumen. Mrs.

Simpson, who runs a borne with

one hand and a colossal business)with the other, adds to her busi-

¡

ness sense an instinctive knowl-edge of what women will want to

I wear a year hence-and on this

talent has piled solid success and

fortune.

STYLE rSEVIEWS.

Showing her advance spring col-

lection to the nation's fashion

Press during a week of style pre-

views, Mrs. Simpson introduced

"crystal colours," a "new slant"'skirt and "taxi pleats,*' all of whichare destined to play an importantpart in American habits of dress,during the coming season. I

The crystal colours are delicate

pastels shown usually in shiny,

crisp shantung taffeta, forecast-

ing next summer's styles. With

them Mrs. Simpson shows crystal

beads in two colours, worn In-

stead of the inevitable pearlsand herein lies a trend alreadybeing feverishly copied by the cos-

tume jewellery industry.The "new slant" skirts have the

slishtest of flares and are lined

with taffeta, eliminating the need ?

for petticoats. Shown in both suitsI

and coat dresses in the collection,

they have a graceful and flattering !

line. I

"Taxi pleats" are set Into the

back of a slim skirt for the sim-1mest of reasons-to allow a womanto step into a taxi or bus or her

own car without splitting her skirt.

Also among the grand finale

showings of the crowded week was

Clair McCardelL idol of US. col-

len girls, who this year introduces

"old school tie" pedal pushers and

swim suits, these being satin-fared

cotton in regimental stripes of the

sober colours favoured bv loyal I

alumni of the "old school." i

I HERBERTON R.S.L. .

I ANNUAL MEETING !

HERBERTON, Peb. ll. - Tbeannual meeting of the Herbertonsubbranch oí the R.S.S-AJX A.vas held on February 10 at theclub rooms. Mr. W. Drysdale pre-sided. Proceedings commencedwith the time honoured ritual ofone minute's silence in honour offallen comrades. This was fol-lowed by one minute's silence inhonour of the late King, GeorgeVI. The meeting then picdged its

loyalty to Queen Elizabeth II.Mr. W. Drysdale welcomed a

visitor, Mr. J. Orrell, of the Cairns

j

Edge Hill sub-branch, and three;new members, Messrs. Eric Pox, H¡Jones and G. Goodwill Mr. Balfe

moved, seconded by Mr. Camp, jnr.,that military invalid pensioners bemade honorary members of thesub-branch. Carried. Messrs. S.Bates and A. Camp, snr., were thennominated as honarary members.

Mr. Drysdale, in his annual re-

port, drew attention to the factthat the membership fell from 60in 1850 to 45 for the past year. Adrop of 15 is a serious business and

! all should strive to keep feliow Dig-gers interested in the League and

I in what it is trying to do sufficient-

ly interested to become financialI members at least. He was afraid a

lot of Diggers took a very shortsighted view of League activitiesand failed to realise that only bykeeping strong could they improvethe lot of their less fortunate com-

rades. Indeed much had been don«in the way of pensions, repatri-ation, etc., but there were still alot of anomalies.

From the financial statement thecash position bad improved fromapproximately £26 to £70. The

?

sum of £80 was spent in gradingI

the ground set aside for a play-ground. Further work was stop

! ped because of no funds.I The sub-branch fought unsuc-

cessfully to have a footbridge over

( the Wild'

River. Apparently theywere the only ones who recognisedthe ever present danger to pedes-trians while the bridge was in its

present state.

PRESIDENT CONGRATULATEDThree unsuccessful attempts were

made to form a women's auxiliary.Mr. Pecer Kenny congratulated

Mr. Drysdale on his report, re-

marking that it was one of the bestpresident's reports he had heard

!

since the inception of the RSL.

Iafter World War L The president

?had given them a straight-forwardI account of the year's work in plain¡ English and was to be congratu'atted. Mr. Balfe supported Mr. KenI ny. He remarked that the loss of

Messrs. Morgan and Newton dur-

ing the year had been hard totake. The secretary-treasurer (Mr.C. Mitchell) then read the finan-cial statement which showed that

subscriptions had been £33/16/-;sweeps, raffles, etc., had raised£16, £11/8/- and £18/16/-; don-

ation, £3; Christmas hamper,£17/10/-; racking horse raffle,

£3/15/-; and the New Year dance,

£15 odd. Profit for the year came

to £31/12/5, talcing into account

£14/10/- depreciation on the

room- The account was audited byMr. R. V. Hohnke.

Mr. Drysdale remarked that theyi lost the services of their secretaryI treasurer (Mr. E. Camp) duringI the year but Mr. Mitchell had stepI ped into the breach and with his! usi:al efficiency was doing a splen-did job.

IThe election of officers then took

I place, with Mr. Orrell as presidingofficer. Mr. W. Drysdale was ap

Council. The meeting decidid to

vote for Mr. A. Farr as secretaryand Mr- Ray Saess as treasurer.

I Mr. P. Kenny was appointed as

¡delegate to the State Congress'with Messrs. Fox, Drysdale and

Balfe as observers. Mr. B. O. Balfe

;

was appointed as delegate to the

State Congress at Ayr.A long discussion on resolutions

for the agenda at the State con-

ference followed.

Mr. Balfe inaugurated a resolu-

tion that will have for its essence

the principal that all men injured

while wearing the Queen's uniformshould receive a suitable pension.

A local case ta which serioi s suf-

fering was involved was quotedThe district will be asked to send

nomination papers to sub-branches

the first week in December.

SCREENING OF MIGRANTS

Mr. Beeson suggested that some-

thing be done as regards the more

careful screening of migrants and

he quoted the troubles of America

in 1905 when she suddenly discov-

ered that far too many migrantsof different races were entering the

country and she had to reduce her

migrants to 50 a year. Mr. Beeson

made a short speech on the dan-

gers of Communism.Mr. Balfe said that screening

migrants was a difficult job. The

sub-branch had been bitterly dis-

appointed in the British familywhieh-they £ad- nominated for

Herberton since the family had

! made direct for Brisbane as soon

as possible. Of all the migrants'

nominated only one family had re-

mained in the North. The un-

desirables among the foreign mi-

grants were in the minority but

unfortunately minorities made th«

mest noise.

Suitable-resolutions will be fram-

ed for the conference. Another

resolution will urge contlnved and

determined' preference for soldier*

in all types of occupations.

his challenge cup at London's Shoe

gramme. Harry said that he was

following in the footsteps of bia

father, who was champion ftetn

1919 to Itt*. To gain his cup Harry

had to mend a pair each of man's

and woman's shoes. There was no

time limit for the work and when

it was judged there was a possible

award of 70 points for the man's

shoes and 65 for the woman's

wbich, although they have fewer

pieces in them, are really harderto do.

"As for their feet being small,"

said Harry scornfully, ''they're get-

ting bigger all the time !" a tact

he attributed to flat, loose-fitting

shoes.

Harry is so experienced tn bte

trade that if someone brought him.

INGHAM NOTES

RIVER POLLUTION

INGHAM, Feb. ll.-After a. per-iod of clean water in the Hero^rtRiver-it was the cleanest tnat it

has been for years-pollution was

reported to have recurred last weekand the A LP. and Coamber ofCommerce immediately drew atten-

tion to the incident. Replying tothc A.L.P., the Minister for Mmes(Mr. W. Power) said that report*from Mt. Garnet showed no efflu-ent had been discharged from the

property since January 2. How-ever, heavy rains hi the periodJanuary 20-22 presumably carrieddown sludge from the discharge on

January 2 and camed the pollutionmentioned. The Minister added ba.was proceeding against the com-

pany far the discharge on January2.

NO HOUSING TENDERS

The Housing Commission did noe

receive any tenders for the con-

struction of nine dwellings in Ing-ham, and it was ascertained thatcontractors did not care to acceptthe responsibility and risks thatpresent day uncertainty of suppliesand other difficulties entail. How-ever, on the recommendaxipn of thelocal CPS. (Mr- T. Foran), the

Housing Commission has agreed tuconsider individual tenders and it

is understood that contracts for at

least three dwellings are likely tobe negotiated and the construction

of these will be under way shortly.

TO-DAX** ISSUE

TEN PAGES

TO STABILISE DAIRYING.

The importance of the dairyindustry, both from the

national economic and the

domestic nutritional view-

points, justifies a very close

examination of the whole

Structure so that it can bebuilt on a lasting basis. Atthe moment there are indica-tions that the industry is not i

so placed, and its decline

should be a challenge ta

leaders of the industry ag

well as Governments. The si?

point stabilisation plan pub-lished yesterday deserves the

very closest consideration.

Tbp representatives of thefanners' organisations sub-mitted these plans for a new

longr-tni-m stabilisation schemeto the Commonwealth Gov-ernment. These could be an

important contribution towardthc raising of output so that

thc position of a possiblede-

cline of exports to vanishing

point may be avoided.

Any person who would sug-

gest that a fair price ia not

the keystone of the arch

ia seriously miscalculatinghuman nature. At the same

time there are many who alsor understand that it is not the

only stone in the arch and

other factors have to be con-

sidered as well as price. Forfar too many years the indus-

try was depressed, moré or

less compelling the exploita-tion of family labour. That

this was necessary must be

taken as a reproach to beshared by the community as

a whole.

To-day some progress has

been made toward giving Shedairy farmer a reasonable re-

turn for hi* capital invest-

ment and his long hours of

labour, even though machines

torday have taken some of

the Iaboriousnesss from them.That these prices have not

stimulated production to copewith the rising demand sug-

gests that price is not every-

thing.

When it was first intro-

duced the five-year stabilisa-

tion scheme, which ends withthe eurrent season, was wel-comed by farmers. It guaran-

tees a return equal to the cost

of production and it was ex-

pected to have boosted pro-duction figures by reason of

the fact that the farmer

would be free of the price

and market worries. Figuresprove that it has not brought

about any building up of

herds or the improving of

pastures.The reverse ia the case.

Since 1943 there has been a

decline in Australia of 86,000head of dairy cattle and

Department of Agricultureoffloials, taking the whole

industry, are quite satisfiedthat th er 2 is more scope for

pasture impiovement and fod-der conservation by those

produoinc «ur butter, cheese

and milk.

Disappointment eoiid also

be expressed at the overall

butter fat pyoduetiou in the

indnstry. If in New Zealand

average production can be

brought to 270 lb. a eow there

is obviously room for im-

provement in yield in Aus-

tralia where the figure is only150 lb. Individual farmers,

may ba able to give very goodreasons why they are unableto improve their productionand many of the reasons re-

late to finance and labour andmaterial supplies. The indus-

try must ba considered as a

whole, however, »nd it seems

clear that the system of

guaranteed costs is not thecomplete answer as it is ob-

vious that these must be com-

puted on an industry-widebasis and cannot always be

equitable individually. The

result is unevenness, since

coats in say North Queenslandmust vary considerably from

those in Victoria with shorter

transport and other import-ant factors. They also varyfrom farm to farm withoutthe question of efficiency

entering.It may be advantageous to

bring, new blood to the indus-

try. The Government, throughits migration policy, could

help. Experienced hands from

recognised dairying nationssuch as Denmark and Holland

may have a contribution that

could help in the process of

changing the production trend

from down to up.

The problem must be faced

promptly before further de-

clines occur and to preventthe position being reached in

which not only might Aus-

tralia be unable to helpBritain out with her supplies

of dairy products, but she

might be compelled herself to

look to other producing coun-

tries to provide Australia's

people with their require-ments of a vital food.

CYCLING T

MOSLEY HAS INITIAL WIN*.

(By "Sprinter.")

Racing was held last Fridaynight at Parramatta Park and a

newcomer to the sport in R. Mos-

ley, gave a really classy exhibi-

tion in the mile handicap,j

which he won. Starting irom thej

limit mark with three others he

took the lead from the outset and

riding hard all the way never

gave middlemarfcer. Keith Wild-j

man, or scratch man, Bill Attree,

any hope of catching the leadingj

bunch. At the end of the third

lap, Corkfl], Snrthj and Kidnerrushed past the -experienced rid-

ers and opened up a big lead in

the Anal lap. However, Mosleywent after them and finishing twoto their one smothered them over

the final 50 yards. Incidentally,

Mosley was handicapped by the

heavy wheels he was using.

Bon Clauss continued his win-

ning sequence with a four-event

victory. In all races he was

pressed by Barry Thompson in

the straight but was never in any

danger of defeat.

Bill Attree won the i-mile han-

dicap in great style from thescratch mark. Catching the field

at the conclusion of the last lap,he dashed to the lead immedi-

ately and never afterwards looked

like losing. The continental

scratch race provided a greatmatch between Keith Wildmanand Bill Attree. Halfway throughthe race it looked as if Wildman,who was leading well on points,-would win. However, in the finalsprint he collapsed completely andwas beaten out of a place. Attreewon the final sprint, which car-

ried double points. He beat Wild-

man by 21 points to 13. GilbertKidner rode well to gain third

place with eight points.

A match race between KevinMoss and Mick Gauci over one lapsaw Moss lead Gauci home by a

> length and a half. Another matchj

'

race was held between lady cyclistPat Sands and Roy Attree over I

ene lap, with Attree giving 40

yards start to the girl. It was a

very exciting event and Attree

proved a little too good, winningby a length. At the next meetingto-morrow night week a challengerace will again be held betweenthis pair.

For some time now the board baabeen seeding supplies ol pork to

Townsville to relieve the acut*meat shortage Olen. Stating thisyesterday, the secretary of th*

board (Mr- A. G. Chamberlain) taMareeba, said that the only reasonthe board had been able to send aomuch pork to Townsville was thefact that sales in Cairns bad. ia.

creased.In January. 149 carcases of

Tableland-bred pigs were slaught-ered at Mareeba, packed to ice iawaggons and sent to TownsvilleThey averaged about 85 lb each.

However, the board was com-

mitted to supply Ciims and Innis-fail and only surplus supplieswere being sent to Townsville,said Ur. Chamberlain. It depend-ed on she intake of pork how longthe board would bt able to eon»

tinue thesesupplies to Townsville.

At the moment the intake was

"not too good," he added.During the severe meat short-

ages in Cairns they had been ableto meet every requirement of

butchers, but since the introduc-tion of frozen mutton and lamb,the demand for pork had faUtnconsiderably.

This decrease could also be attributed to the fact that therewere now fewer distributors in

Cairns, with Wrotham Park anda few small butchers closingdown. Mr. Chamberlain said.

ANOTHER JOB-nrriMO

TEST.

NEW YORK (AJ>.). RI

?f-ra waa weall Hke ta

kaew haw yew wai lt tata a:

Jab have easther «eal far tart-

ine yaeu It ia called a tu-acra-;-ea tal -árdale, a aa tale- ait.af aaiitliaj designed ta draw a

atetare af yew aer-aatlty wit*

answers.

Hs author, Ia. L. Thurston, Pro-fessor of Psychology at the Uni-

versity .of Chicago, tested bothnormal and abnormal persons for

many years. He found there weraseven main factors of temperamentwhich make up personality.

He said how you register tnseven areas will fairly well showhow you will flt a Job. Thosefactors are bow active you are,bow vigorous, impulsive, dominant,emotionally stable, sociable and

reflective.

Professor Thurston* discountsthe value of IQ. (intelligence

'

quotient) tests. He stresses ratherthat the individual's personality,

or temperament "profile" is muchmore valid.

"Mental endowment should notbe the sole criterion of an em»

ployee,". he advises. "Instead, by

drawing a temperament profile ot

him, the worker can be matchedto the Job much more carefully.

. "And if the temperament profile,the intelligence test and the apti-tude test are combined, there is a

three-dimensional approach toworker placement which' is prac-tically unbeatable."

"

VS. FIRMS TRYING IT.

80 far about 300 C.S. firms vareusing "Professor Thurstone's per-sonality test" in Job allotting.Among them are a large mail orderhouse, automotive firms, educa-tional institutions, insurance and

banking houses, and metal and¡woodworking industries.

The schedule was used experi-

mentally for four years before itwas published.

Of the 140 questions, 20 are as-

signed to each of the seven per-sonality factors. Bach factor ia

scaled from very high to very low.with your own score determiningwhat division you fall into foreach factor.

You have a choice of yes. un-

decided, or no in answering each

question.H you score high in the active

area you probably work and move

rapidly. You are restless if com-

pelled to remain quiet. You like

to be "on the go" most of the time.

You usually speak, walk, write,drive a car and work rapidly, even

when these activities do not "de-

mand .speed.

.A nigh rating in the vigorous

factor indicates, you like physicalsports, hand work and the use ot

tools, and outdoor occupations.On the impulsive scale you prob-

ably score high if you make de-

cisions quickly, enjoy competition,and can move readily from one

task to another. The decision toact quickly is independent ofwhether you move slowly or

(active factor), feebly or strenu-

ously (vigor factor) to put it intoeffect.

Workers who SCOT* high in do-

minant characteristics probablyfeel capable of taking initiative and

responsibility, enjoy public speak-ing, promoting new projects, per-

suading others, or organising socialactivities.

The stable person can remain

calm in a crisis, relax in a noisy

room, he cheerful, and disregarddistractions. Interruptions when

concentrating do not irritate him.

Neither does he fret over dailyroutine.

j

If yon rate well on the sociable]

area, likely you enjoy company,!make friends easily, and agreeable,

co-operative, sympathetic. 1More or less opposite to (be

social factor ls the reflective. A

high score here indicates you pre-fer to work alone, you are quiet,

you like work requiring accuracyand fine detail. You would pre-fer to deal with theoretical rather

than practical problems, would

rather plan a job than carry lt out

SOME EXAMPLES'.

What does all that make you?Well, here are some examples as

Professor Thurstone suppliedthem:

If higher on the social scalethan the others you should fit as!

a sales person, a receptionist, or

wherever you come in contact with

lots of people. If high there andalso in the dominant, area youwould show promise as a sales

executive.II selling ls you inclination and

you are active and vigorous youcould tackle door-to-door work

with indicated success.

The predominantly vigorous per-son would be aimed at machineor manual jobs, at foreman if alsodominant and sociable, at research

supervision if also high in domin-

ant traits as well as reflective.

If you are active, emotionallystable, but rank low on the *m

pulsive scale you have character-

istics making for success in im-

portant jobs that require Judg-ment.

HAS AMTARCTICA

ANY ASSLTS!

Is thara say real .wealth ta I. the Aa larc tic, ar ara the re-

ports af tsrsc casi, tspper aast

ether auaersl aapasUe fsaadthere seen wishfal thinking?

Much has been written on this

subject, with Ian tas Lie stories ap-pearing In popular magazines,while others ret ute the possibilit-ies entirely ana say that potentialAntarctic wealth is simply a mytn.

The only nope for returns of a

commercial nature from the Ant-arctic come from minerals andmineral deposits. There is nothingin the air that can bring any re-

turn, lhere ia nothing in- the sea

beyond whaling expeditions alreadycarried out, while there is no son.no humus or possibility of agri-culture. That leaves only the ex-

ploitation of the rocky crust withIts possible deposits.

Antarctica is roughly 5,000,000 to

6.000,000 square miles. Of tula,mare than 90 per cent, is coveredby a vast continental ice sheet

possibly two miles thick in some

places. This would restrict min-ing and prospecting with the usual

devices to anywbem but on the

rim. Even this ls spread out in anarrow - strip or In patches along

¡the coast m places accessible fora few weeks each year.

lt hag been «suggested that tbaIce cap could be melted by atom

i bombs, but this bas been rejected.

¡Apart from the colossal cost ot

the venture, if it were possible, theamount ot Ice on the cap whenmelted would' raise sea level some

70 to 80 feet. This would iloodmeat of the cities built near sea

level such as London, New York,Sydney and Los Angeles. To blaston a small scale is Impractical be-cause there is no certainty that

deposits woUd be found in that

particular area being blasted.

FOUND COAL DEPOSITS

Australia's Slr Edgeworth Davidfound a coal deposit In the Ross

Sector with seams 15 to 18 mileswide and 1000 miles long. This is

probably the world's laxgost unworked coal seam, but it is doubt-

ful whether it could be workedeconomically. The coal is not of

the best quality. Other Australianresearchers with the expedition ofScott and Shackleton some 40 years

ago found deposits of iron, copper,,and molybdenum, but these depos-

its were not in sufficient quantit-ies to make them commercially at-tractive. These deposits do not.lead us to suppose that they are

the only ones down there. If geo--'

legists could wander on the naked

Antarctica chances are that depos-its comparable with those on anycontinent of a similar bind mass

would be found.

But apart from the cost of min-

ing in the area is the problem ot

transport. The Antarctic lacks the

possibilities of air bases as ar»

used over the North Pole because

while the North Pole is a shortcut to large population centres,there are no wealthy populationcentres in the Southern Hemi-

sphere, and routes would be fromnowhere to nowhere.

The greatest interest the Antarc-tic ho'ds for us is for weather ob-servations. Weather predictionsdown there for more' than 13hours in advance are worthless.

Fliying, except in October and No-

vember, is harazdous down there,weather can whip up very sudden-

ly. One hundred million yearsago. the Antarctic wss not the des-olate continent we read of to-day.Its climate was not only warm, itwas tropical and a veritable Gardenof Eden flourished there. There

always have been active volcanoes

hi the region, and erowth of flora,and fauna was prolific.

The exploration of the Antarcticwill not be attempted for manyyears, in regard to ita potentialwealth to those countries whichhave territorial rights, but when-ever science does reveal the assetsof the region, it does not seem

likely that we will be disappointed.

FARM BOY PAINTS

BEETLES

NEW ITALIAN SCHOOLOF AST

ROME (AJ».).-Severine- Guidi.

an li-year-old Italian farm boywho likes to paint beetles, is the

founder of a new Italian school of

art that is winning critical raves.

Paintings and drawings by Guidi

and h-s followers sold well in a

Rome show.

They also brought nods of ap-

proval and words of praise fromnoted elder artists, among them

writer-painter Carlo Levi.It all started in a country school,

between the Apennines, the PoRiver and the Adriatic, in the áan

tarcangelo farmland. It is a pnmarv school, whose building was

destroyed by war. The children

had their lessons in a barn. Later,the Government built a new school

This is a tiny pink building with

red. tiles and green windows, wherethe children arrive after walkingfor miles

ibetween hedges full of

flowers and beetles. They ran

after butterflies and caught beetles

which they Drought in match

boxes, to show their teacher and

to ask him for the insects' names.

They write compositions, like

most children.One dav "Enrico Raggi, a nine

year-old, ^rote, "When x come to

school frqpi my home and walk

among the hedges in. lossom I

often stop, I could almost laut

.... so/beautiful the colours are."The teacher. Federico Moroni,

said: "Why don't you try to paintthe colours?"

They did. It was fun-and everyone of the ten pupils, developed

a taste for elaborate designs,

mostly plants, snails, and beetles.One of his paintings which at-tracted attention in the Rome

show was entitled "The Dead

Lizard." It showed the creen bodyof a lizard surrounded by hun-

dreds of different kinds of beetles.

A scene he had seen in a ditch.Severino explained.

Severin« was much impressedby bicycle races. He ca: tod?several episodes of the one wbich

bad attracted his attention.

The problem for teacher Moroui

was to get paper and water col-

ours for his art school. He wrote

to friends and received free de-

livery from a nearby paper railL

During his summer vacation,Maroni came to -Rome with a

small suitcase and a large roil

containing the drawings and paint-

ings of his pupils. Two galleriesturned him down, but the Chi

Razzi Art Gallery accepted his

buncb ot paintings.The director of the painting sec-

tion. New York-born ArtoninoVirduzzo, who has lived here for

the past 20 years, organised the

show. Artists and tourism flockedto visit it. The show ls movingto Florence where a fresh bunch

of paintings will be' on displayfrom February 15 to 29. Moro.ii

will not have to worry about

getting enough watercolours,brushes and paper for his pupils.

I Of the original 78. paintings,. 5U

[were sold in the first week of

[show in Rome.

aiKfraiua'nf caantriac, tha ravaaua tramail in Kuwait is entirely the penenal incarna af tha rular.

Even before the new agree-ment, the rapid development ofrich oil deposits in Kuwait was

bringing great changes andbenefits to the people. In thepast few months-the output ofoil in Kuwait has increasedfrom 17 million tons a year toabout 36 million, and an outputof 40 million tons a year shouldbe reached in the near future.With this increased income.Sheikh Abd ulla is expected to

embark, on a more ambitiousprogramme of welfare schemesdesigned to help his people intheir struggle against poverty,illiteracy and disease.

Many development schemeshave already been instituted bySheikh Abdulla. Ont of hisincome he provided for the con-struction of a water distilla-tion plant with a capacity ofone million gallons a day;power stations; schools, in-cluding a boarding school to

provide higher education afterpupils leave the present free

elementary schools; State hos-pitals, dispensaries and a tuber-culosis sanatorium. Many ofthese development and welfareschemes are only just underway, but with the new agree-ment the prospects of a betterlife for the average Kuwaiti

have considerably improved.As an example, provision is

made in the new agreement forincreased facilities for trainingKuwaitis locally and in Britain,as well as for enhancing the

part they can play in oil

operations.Ä few years ago Kuwait was a

little-known territory with no

budget. Today, with SheikhAbdull&'s progressive ideas andthe oil company's expert workin the oil fields, it is rapidlybecoming a prosperous modernState.

A. few years ago these boys were shepherds in the desert. Todaythey are learning to man the rigs of the Kuwait Oil Company,which is abo training their fellow countrymen to be welders,

fitters, mechanics and painters.

i One of thefirst steps taken in the welfare Urogramme was the building of a

\ State hospital in Kuwait. A health committee headed by the Minister of\ Health, Sheikh Nisf Yousef Nisf (2nd left), meets Dr. E. Parry, NUS.,

FJi.CJ. (3rd left), once a week to discuss routine matters.

Enthusiastic about the drive for education, Abdul Aziz Atiqi, a

Kuwaiti who has been teaching for over 30 years and is headmaster

at a progressive school in the village of Fahaheel, finds time to givehis vutnls his individual attention.

IS VYSHINSKY LOSINGfflS PUNCH

PARIS (A.P.)-There is a widespread feel-

ing among United Nations people that Andrei Y.Vystnnsky is losing his punch, both physically and 1politically. Some delegates profess to believe thatthis may be his last General Assembly and that he

may be succeeded before too long by his first

deputy. Andrei A. Gromyko.i There are three good reasons,'these delegates point out, for theold fire-eater, Vyshinsky, to beslowing down physically:

1

tl) He is 68 years old and hislast years have been full of tur-moil in international relations.

(2) His temperament He justcannot stop going. His aides say

they have tried to get him to re-

lax. He insists, however, on tak-

ing a heavy amount of work andhe does more than any other inhis delegation, young or old.

(3) He is a sick man and hasbeen for some time, lt is said on

good authority that he suffer

from diabetics. In addition, he issusceptible to colds and has

coughed more than usual at this

assembly. He was away from hisMoscow office for months last yearbecause of what was reported tohave been a heart condition.

His physical condition is such

that he no longer is allowed totake long plane rides. He came tothe Paris General Assembly bytrain from Moscow.

rOLITICAL STANDING

There are three reasons, dele! gates also point out, to back uptheir feeling that he ls slippingpolitically. .

(1) His terrific mistake ofscornfully laughing at the Westernarms limitation proposals fromthe platform of the General As-sembly. This shdckcd a numberof delegates, even the professedneutrals, who said humour on sucha serious subject was out of place.

(2) His added mistake, a =horttime later, in tossing aside theWestern proposals as not worthyof consideration and offering intheir stead a rehash of Soviet pro-posals already beaten down oyGeneral Assembly votes after soi.emn debate.

(3) His slip of the tongue whenhe apparently lost his temper andsaid the four American aviatorsforced down in Hungary "receiveddue attention from our borderauthorities and I hope that dueattention will be given them byour military and judicial author-ities."

The word "our" meant Soviet

control to everyone who heardhim. It appeared that Vyshinskywaa openly admitting and bragg-ing that the Russians were run

nine the Hungarian show

Vyshinsky later tried to wriggleoff that hook by saying he was

speaking generally and that hewas referring to another plane in-cident, but no amount of explan-ation was able to wash out theverbatim record of bis fiery. In-temperate speech in the political

committee.

Vyshinsky uses sarcasm too. as

he did in hitting back at a speechby Stuart S. Carson. Minister of

Justice of Canada. He called Car-son "Garcon"-the French word

for "boy" or "waiter.'*

Vyshinsky took a calm attitude

during the closed meetings of the

Big Four sub-committee on disarmament. When his proposals

were defeated in Political Commit-tee and neared defeat in the As-

sembly, he changed signals andmade what appeared to be some

concessions on the point of givingatomic inspectors more freedom in

every country including Russ -.

But the trick in this proposal,several delegates pointed out. was

that he .wanted the assembly tcapprove a moral declaration bann«

ing atomic weapons and the de? ~

gates refused to do it

"

?.:

. -./ .

The whole thing went over tothe Disarmament Commission forstudy there in the coming moaths.

Delegates who have watched thevarious manoeuvres of Vyshinskyduring this assembly speculatethat he feels he must take back!to Moscow some concrete achieve-

j

ment. All of his propositions- so

far have been voted down or *

shunted aside for other consider- i

ation with one possible exception. !

and that may be the slip strip ofj

bacon to place before Stalin.

That was the resolution in which'

the Assembly recommended that¡

the Security Council hold a high-|

level meeting whenever the coun-

cil feels that such a meeting wouldbe useful. A high-level meetins is

one attended by Foreign Ministers

or Chiefs of State of the membercountries on the council. Such a

meeting has not been held in the

U.N.

Vyshinsky originally proposedthat the Security Council hold

j

such a meeting, technically knownj

as a "periodic" session, without de- ?

lay, and that its first considerationbe what it could' do about helpingend the Korean tn. ce talks "sue- .

cessfully. I

The West refused to take thatj

resolution because of the open at-

tempt to bring the Korean annis- ]tice issue into the veto-ridden

j

Security Council and because'

it

would upset the negotiations in

Korea. So the West drew up a|counter-prpposal: the resolution,

finally approved by the Assembly,for meetings whenever the Councilfelt the time was ripe. Korea was

eliminated completely. Vyshinskyvoted for this resolution and the

I Russian bloc referred to it as a

i somewhat "truncated" Soviet pro

I posai.

Vyshinsky and his delegationhive been active in entertainingother delegations and have been

esDecially solicitous of the Arabs,

who. in turn, have courted Ru->sian support in their quarrels with

Britain.

LOSS OF CONTACT WITHj

SUBMARINE.

MELBOURNE, Feb. 12.-Badconditions and poor visibility

Forty-eight minutes after the

NOTES AND NEWS FSOM

THE K.A.C.Q.

ANOTHER SLUG FOR THEOVEB TAXED MOTORIST

Coming on top of. a rise in tho

price of petrol, road users are

seething with resentment at thaState Government's 50 per cent,increase in vehicle registrationfees, says a R-A.C.Q. spokesman.

Farmers and all other ruralworkers to whose livelihood motor

transport is essential, are espec-

ially moved to protest against this

eavy addition which is regardée,as an indexensibis sectional tax.

Likewise, the tradesman andsmall business man and otherswho depend on road transport,object bitterly to another jump in

living costs. The people generallymust suffer the inflationary ef-fect of this unre: sonable imposi-tion.

Road users are already the most

heavily taxed section of the com-

munity. They rightly want toknow why they have to pay more

in Queen.=!and than in any otherState or New Zealand.

Actual figures of particular car

types for comparison are:

In New Zealand the flat rat«?

In West Australia, a huge pri-

mary producing State in which

conditions are comparable to

Queensland, some car registrationfees are less than half theamounts charged .by the Queens-land tax-hun£ry Governments- --

MOTORISTS TAX BUTT

Motorists could only set theiria* -s grimiy while they were the

butts of special class legislation,oi a etieral and Stata Govern-ments, an R.A.C.Q. spokesmansaid in commenting on the decis-ion of the State Cabinet lo in-

crease motor vehicle registrationin Queensland by 50 per cent.

Legislative bodies always turn-ed to the motorist for money whenit was urgently needed, but theylet the roads starve, he said.

If the £200 million taxed frommotorists had been spent on roads,as was intended when the petroltax was introduced, Australian

roads would have ocen arnon;; thebest in the world instead of theworst.

Registration fees, they said,should be nominal, sufficient onlyto carry the book-keeping cost.

The motorist would resent be-

ing singled out to carry this gross-

ly unfair additional burden.

WRINKLES AND GADGETS

R_A.C.Q. engineers suggest:When removing a spark plug

check the gasket. It deteriorate::with age and becomes coated withcarbon. Renewal from time totime will prolong the life of the

spark plug by keeping it cooler.

Ignition trouble may be avoided

by keeping all connections from

battery to distributor clein andsecure, and making sure that the

all-important earth connections

are not missed.If it can be moved sideways

about one inch, the fan belt is

correctly adjusted. Test at the

point midway between the fan

and crankshaft pulley.The economical fuel consump-

tion speed is 30-35 m.p-h. Tramp-ing on the accelerator or sudden

braking and speeding-up are

wasteful habits.

Brake hoses should be checkedregularly, both from the safety

angle and expense. Perished or

c-acked rubber should be replac-ed.

When lubricating door hinges'.3c tne oil can soaringly and move

the door to and fro to get theoil through the bearing surfaces.Lack of oil causes wear on the

hinges and the door to sag. Hingewear can a'so cause rattles,squeaks and ''drummingT of the

New Tough

Federal LawWASHINGTON (AP.) -

There is rising hope tedaythat a new ana teach Federal

law igalast narcotics peddlinghas hatted the alarming- np

sarge In teen-age addktioa te

drugs in the tT.S.

For more than two years, a

growing number of teen-agershave been dragged into the slaveworld of narcotics that has trap-

ped some 50,000 addicts in the*

country.But in the past two months, U.S.

Narcotics Commissioner H.J. Ans

linger reports, there has been a

decline in juvenile narcotics ad-

diction. The number of youngstersbeing treated as addicts also has

tapered off.

It is the brightest news that hascome out of the battle against thcdread habit in many months.

Ansiinger gives credit to a new

Federal law-signed by President

Truman last November-increas-

ing the penalties for violation of

the narcotics and marihuana laws.The new law fixes a. minimum

prison term of two years and a

maximum of five for the first

time violators. It bars suspender1sentences for those convicted a

second time. It increases prisonterms to a possible 20 years forthird offences.

_ ,

GOVERNMENT'S FIGHT!

i

Ansiinger has been directing the !

government's fight against the

narcotics traffic for years. He is

convinced that tough Federal and

State laws-strictly enforced-will

do more than anything else to

frighten peddlers, and drive the

dope trafiic from the pavementsof America.

Ansiinger is supported in these

views by Federal Judge Guy L.

Fake of New Jersey who has had

long experience in dealing with

narcotics addicts.

Judge Fake contends thekindest thing a judge can do for

an addict is to sentence him to

five years detention-time enoughto shake off the craving for the

drug and develop a new mental

outlook.

And he favours stiff penaltiesfor the peddlers.

Fortunately, the nation has beenalerted to the menace and the

size of the narcotics slave-world.

Education programmes are beingconducted in schools and churches

and civic centres in some cities to

give teen-agers a hint of the dan-

gers in narcotics.

City. State and Federal agentsare making narcotics peddlerstheir special targets. The United

Nations is trying to get agreementamong its members on the control i

of narcotics manufacture and ex- I

port Investigations have spot-lighted the situation.

There is no known cure for

narcotics addiction-except a de-

sire within the addict himself towant to be cured and enough will

-power to keep away from drvgç.But that desire and will is not

strong enough in most cases.

That is why the fight goes on

against the underworld which

has enslaved SQ many men, women

and children with its evil traffic.

There are more than 7000 is-

lands and islets in the Philippinesgroup, with a total land area of

115,600 square miles.

State's Rural HoldingsShow A Decrease

While the number of rand holding» in

Qiieensland decreased for the season enejad March31,1951 by 64 crimp-red with the 194840 icuon,the «venge area a holding rose from 1861 acres to9666.

ThtH figure» art given in a report on rural

production by the Government Statistician whoadds that fer the year returns were received fi mn

41,499 rural foldings which occupied 3J9.606.000acres of land

Tba total area ef all n?rai hold"ina» mada up 83.8 per cant ot the

' whole area of the State, the bal-ance of 1641 par cant consisting of

, towna, lafcei and rivera, land osadfor mining and other miscellaneous

purposes, oublie reserves and

roads, and a small amount of un-

occupied land.The smallest holdings were in

Moreton Division, where therewera one-quarter of th« State';total number of holdings, theil

average area being £05 acres. T-«

largest holdings wera in Peninsula

Division, whare they averaged, 308.431 aeras each.

In tba western division, thi

average holding consisted of 100,000 aeras or more, while holding!in tba farming divisions of Down!and Mackay averaged about 17M

aeres, and ia Maryborough about

1000 acres.

' CAUSE OF SIZE VARIATION

The marked variation in th«size of holdings in different areat

is due to the differing intensifie)> of use to which the land can bi

put. This is reflected in the small

variation In the number of .>er

sons resident of each holdingwhich for the whole State averag

. ed 19 males and 2.0 females a

holding* The only significant de-

parture from the average of 4!persons a holding was in the west

, ern pastoral areas where th«

number of residents on each hug«holding averaged between six and

seven, and in the Peninsula when

» it averaged eight. In MoretonMary borough and Dow s, th«

average number of residents i

holding was 4.4 in each division

although tba average size of hold

. inp were 305, 1003 and 1744 acre!

respectively.
