By Julian Haviland, Political Editor
Inflation, the factor which
decided the outcome of the last
four general elections and may
yet. deride this one, was brought
before the public by the
Conservatives yesterday, the
day it fell to an annual rate of 4
per cent, the lowest for 1 S years.
The hope of Mrs Margaret
Thatcher and the Conservative
leadership is that this single
statistic, the brightest they will
have to display between now
and polling day, will hide the
figure of more than three
million unemployed which
Labour continues to hold up in
every speech.
Although the 4 per cent had
long been forecast. Cabinet
ministers trumpeted its arrival.
Mr Norman Tebbit, Secretary
of State for Employment, said
that not even Labour could
pretend that it was not. good
news. Prices were now rising
less quickly than in most
industrialized countries, he
said, adding “especially those
which have socialist govern-
toents.*’
In case his message should
fail he went on: “There is little
doubt that, as France, a Labour
government here would soon
see prices roaring up. It would
be back, in the hands of the
international money-lenders,
skiing expenditure in another
Healey U-turn."
Mr Peter Shore, Labour
shadow Chancellor, was ready
with a dismissal, pointing our
that over the past three months
prices had been rising at an
annual rate of 7 per cent.
“Since Mrs Thatcher came to
power", he said, “prices have
risen by 54 per cent and, wi thin
this average, rents and gas
prices have more than doubled,

bunching of the Conservative
manifesto on Wednesday was
seized on by the Alliance and
the Labour Party as another
public sign that the Foreign
Secretary, who has often been
reported to have strained
working relations with the
Prime Minister, is oa the way
ontif the Conservatives win.
Mrs Thatcher was angry
about comments made by Mr
Pym in a trie vision programme
on Thursday night, when fas
delineated landslide victories.

The Prime Minister thought
that Mr Pynt’s comment
reflected the “natural caution"
of a former chief whip. He was
a member of that small club of
former chief whips who always
wondered how they would cope
hi the Commons with a large
majority of Conservative MPs.
Another questioner referred
to press reports that Conserva-
tive campaign managers had
warned Mrs Thafcer that her
“headmistress” attitude to
other ministers hi pnhUc was
liable to' dent . her . popular
image and give her a reputation
for bossiness. Reference was
made to the. incident with Mr
Pym on Wednesday. ..

Enterprise arrives on a breeze
The space shuttle Enterprise
arriving at Fairford, Glouces-
tershire. yesterday on its way to
the Paris Air Show. Enterprise
was given a 6,000 mile “piggy-
back” from California on a
modified Boeing 747 carrier
aircraft.
About 30,000 spectators
were allowed ihto the US Air
Force base to watch die Boeing
approach the runway from the
east and then climb away as the
wind changed to try a second
time.
Colonel Larry Griffin, one of
the pilots, said afterwards:
“Your English Breezes caught
us by surprise. We found on our
first approach that we had a
slight tail wind, so we climbed
away and came in from tike
other end".
Enterprise, which has never
flown in space, took off after
two boors to continue its
journey to Paris. The shuttle
will be back in Britain on June
5 and 6 for Stansted Air Show.
Pretoria car bomb kills 13 at
Air Force headquarters
From Michael Hornsby, Pretoria
bomb exploded in
the- heart of Pretoria during the
late afternoon' 'rash-hour yester-
day killing at least 13 people
and wounding 40 others. The
toll of dead and injured could
go higher.
The bomb went off at about
4.30pm in a car parked outside
the huge Nedbank Plaza build-
ing on Church Street, which
houses the headquarters of the
South African Air Force, in-
cluding the offices of Air Forces
Intelligence.
The South African Prison
services also have offices in the
building.
Standing amid the broken
glass and other debris linering
the street, Mr Louis Le Grange,
the Minister of Law and Order,
described the explosion, as, the
“biggest and ugliest" terrorist
incident since anti-government
violence began in South Africa
more than 20 years ago.
Mr Le Grange said that
although be did not yet have
proof there was “no doubt in
my mind" that the underground
African National Congress
(ANC) was responsible “for this
despicable act here this after-
noon."
Most acts of sabotage and
bomb blasts have been the work
of the ANC, but in the past the
organization has generally,
though not always, tried to
avoid civilian casualties.
Certainly, the death toll has
never been as high in any
previous incident.
Mr Le Grange said that
civilian and Air Force personnel
and other people in uniform
were among the dead, and that
“quite a number of them were
blacks".
After the explosion the entire
area tor several blocks was
sealed off by police and soldiers
with barbed wire-cordons.
Outside the cordons Pretoria
" was its usual placid self. Inside
it was like a Beirut street scene
at the height of the Lebanese
civil war.
The whole of the lower half of
the 13-storey Nedbank building
was shattered as were windows
and shop fronts on the other
side of the street One of the
buildings there housed the
offices of the Array Paymaster.
The area was littered with
strips of twisted metal and a
stream of blood had congealed
along the pavement. A scorched
and blackened engine block,
apparently from the car in
which the bomb was placed,
bad been hurled about 40 yards
down the road.
Outside the entrance to the
Nedbank building a shallow
crater and a few chunks of
metal marked the spot of the
explosion.
Vatican
Stays out
of Heim
dispute
By John Earle and
Nicholas Timmins
The Vatican yesterday dis-
sociated itself from the contro-
versial attack on Mgr Bruce
Kent, the general secretary of
the Campaign for Nuclear
Disarmament, by Archbishop
Bruno Heim, its diplomatic
representative in Britain.
But Mgr Heim responded by
saying that he stood by his view
that unilateralists were cither
“blinkered idealists", “useful
idiots", or consciously sharing
the Soviet ideology, and main-
tained thaL he was only
reflecting the Pope's view on
unilateralism.
After a week of discreet
silence on the controversy.
Father Romeo Pancrioli, the
chief Vatican spokesman, said
yesterday that Archbishop
Heim's action had been an
entirely personal initiative.
He was not authorized to say
more, he said. But it appears
clear from the length of time it
had taken the Vatican to
comment that considerable
em harassment is felt over the
issue, and it is considered
particularly unfortunate that
such a controversial stand
should have been taken by the
first envoy since relations
between Britain and the Holy
See were raised to the equiva-
lent of ambassadorial level 15
months ago.
The Vatican statement was
immediately welcomed by the
office of Cardinal Hume, the
Archbishop of Westminster. A
spokesman said: “This vindi-
cates what we have been saving.
Mgr Heim's statement was
made in his own capacity and
not in a formal capacity.
Mgr Heim, however, insisted
his views favouring multilateral
disarmament were in line with
the Pope’s. Speaking from a
clinic in West Germany where
he is recovering from an
operation, he said the Vatican
was right in saying the letter had
been his own initiative. “But
what 1 said is the same as whai
the Pope has said about
unilateral disarmament."
The pro-nunrio. who is 72.
said: “I stand by it all."
Mgr Heim said he had not
heard from the Vatican since
his letter became public. He was
still unwell and did not expect
to return to Britain for some
weeks.
Mgr Heim: Insists he shares
the Pope’s views
Soviet nuns stabbed
to death in Israel
From Christopher Walker, Em Karem
Mystery last night sur-
rounded one of the most bizarre
religious murders in the Holy
Land in modern times, the
killing of two Soviet nuns
stabbed to death in the bed-
room of their remote convent
situated in this village near
Jerusalem, birth place of John
the Baptist.
The murderc have caused
acute embarrassment to the
Israeli Government because the
Russian Orthodox Church, to
which the nuns belonged,
represents the only recognized
Soviet presence oa Israeli soil.
The Ministry of the Interior
immediately; .set up- a . special
police- squad to investigate -the
various macabre theories being
circulated.
Because of the Moscow base
of the so-called “Red Russian"
church, 'at which, the nuns
worshipped, there have long
been nncnh4rf gi nigti»ri rumours
of KGB links with some of its
followers living in Israel. The
Russian religious compound
where the stabbing took place
has also been the target _ of
attacks suspected of being
carried out by Jewish fanatics.
The most recent occurred
only three months ago when
there was an unsuccessful arson
attempt against one of the
buildings scattered in acres of
Russian-owned land.
The Russian Orthodox
Church has long been in conflict
with the White Russian Church,
which broke its ties with
Moscow after the Russian
Revolution and now has bases
in New York and Paris. For
some time, opposing wings
have been at loggerheads over
the ownership of valuable
property in the Holy Land.
According to the police, the
bloodstained bodies of the dead
nuns, a 68-year-old mother and
her 43-year-old daughter were
discovered early yesterday

Whitehall clash
over youth scheme
By Barrie Clement, Labour Reporter
Two official bodies are at
loggerheads over the payment
of benefits to scfmoUeavere
who refuse to take up places on
the Youth Training Scheme,
Milch starts in Sept em ber.
The Department of Health
and Social Security is adamant
that anyone who rejects a place
should lose unemployment pay
for the statutory six weeks and
suffer a possible 40 per cent cut
in supplementary benefit where
applicable.
But the Manpower Services
Commission, which is made up
of Hade unionists, employers
and government representa-
tives, is ingoing that young-
sters should lose their entitle-
ments only in exceptional
circ umstance s.
If the department wins the
argument, that would make the
scheme compulsory and in
conflict with the strong volun-
tary element which Cabinet
ministers claim for it.
In such circumstances the
Driver awarded £36,057
for near miss on line
A former train driver won
£36,057 damages yesterday for
the shock he suffered when he
though he had run down two
workmen on the line. The shock
caused Mr Cyril Galt, aged 55,
to have heart att ac ks , become
impotent and retire early.
He described in foe High
Court how he saw the men less
than 30 yards away as he
approached at 65 miles an hour.
“I could not believe my eyes. As
soon as I saw him I was so upset
I could not think for a minute.
“It was impossible to stop. It
was just a matter of blowing the
horn and hoping that they
would go away. I was six or
seven yards away when they got
out of the way. There was
nothing more I could do. I
thought they had had it. After I
got past, 1 felt horrible, I felt
frozen.”
Mr Justice Tudor Evans held
that British Rail was negligent
in not providing lookout men
and felling to take reasonable
care not to expose Mr Galt to
injury from nervous shock. He
ruled that in the circumstances
shock had been reasonably
foreseeable.
Of the men on the line he
said: "A moment’s reflection
would or ought to have shown

on-Trent was at a standstill
yesterday after more than a
thousand workers walked out
"in disgust” over plans to
introduce a seven-day- week
shift system.
The dispute arose when foe
management tried to ballot
workers on the new shifts and
the men refused to cooperate
because their union, .foe Trans-,
port and General Workers’, had
rejected the plan.
The company said foe men,
who are on a 24-hour stoppage,
were told in March that foe
shifts would be introduced, as
they already have been in two-
other departments.

TUC would almost certainly
reconsider its support for the
£900m scheme, which seeks to
find one-year places for up to
460.000 school-leavers
The TUC said yesterday that
foe "task group” which devised
the scheme considered that it
was unacceptable to force
unwilling young people into it
and that foe benefit rules should
be applied in that spirit. "It
would be a matter of concern if
there was any attempt by the
DHSS to change that ap-
proach”, the TUC said.
A spokesman for the depart-
ment said that a YTS place
would normally be regarded as
an "approved training place”,
and therefore a refusal to take
one up would mean statutory
penalties.
The Manpower Commission
pointed out that under the
previous scheme, foe Youth
Opportunities Programme, the
withdrawal of benefits "rarely
happened, if at all”.

It was not the only family

Haiiand and Wolftj the
Belfast shipbuilders, have told
subcontractors to buy materials
and start work on their part of a
£60m order from Union Inter-
na tionaTs Blue Star ' line for
four 10,000-tonne refrigerated
ships (reefers).
Hie order carries an option
for Blue Star to increase the
purchase to six vessels within
90 days.
The instruction can be taken
as confirmation that foe order
has been lauded by H arian d and
even if foe final contract
is not yet signed. -
It comes as a lifebelt for the
shipyard, which is already well
advanced with construction of
the last vessel on its .present
order book, and which ■ is'
shedding 700 more production
workers in the latest of a long
series of cutbacks.
The need to complete the
present outbade, announced oh
April 1 1, has delayed an official
announcement of the valuable
new order, and while this
inhibition is now fading as the
700 workers depart, it has been'
replaced by foe general election
campaign.
. Yesterday a company spokes-,
man said negotiations with Blue
Star and foe bankers were still
taking place, and official
-sources insisted that the final
contract had not been signed.
On taking tip Trie appoint-
ment on February i Mr John
Parker, Hariand and Wolff’s
new chief executive, said foe
Blue Star requirement was .the
only potential work around to
bridge the gap of about 13
months before the expected
upturn in world shipping
produced a spate of sew fleet
orders.
It is a view he has smee
repeated, but some - indication
that tile outlook is becoming
less bleak was given yesterday
when Belfast company an-
nounced nqtotiafa'dns on a
number of serious inquiries
“including potential business
from leading British ship-own-
ers whose representative is at
foe shipyard today discussing
new tonnage”.
It was made clear by a
spokesman that that did -not
refer to the Blue Star Line and it
is understood the ships under
discussion are -refined oil
product camera of about 80,000
tonnes.
At only 10,000 tonnes dead-
weight, the reefers will be
pigmies compared with the
260,000-tonnc crude ml earners
which the Belfast shipyard was
reequipped to build during tire
late 1960s and for which the
world market quiddycoflapsed. -
However, they will be rela-
tively complex ships, with a
high man-hoar content per
tonne.
The tractable for their con-
struction is understood to be
very tight, with deli very of foe
first vessel due before foe end of
next year, -requiring the ship-
yard to five fts subcontractors

ment feds it is politic to
disclose that it has got the order.
The trade unions are also
seeking work for tire yard. Mr

Probation officers are to
boycott two controversial mea-
sures in foe Criminal Justice
Act which come into force for
juveniles on Tuesday.
The ban comes after a
resolution at last October’s
conference of foe National
Associaltion of Probation Offic-
ers (Napo). neither to rec-
ommend nor supervise night
curfews and so-called "negative
requirements”, orders prohibit-
ing an offender from certain
activities.
Napo regards foe measures as
unworkable and fundamental
change in foe officer's role.
Mr Charles Fletcher, Napo’s
assistant general secretary, told
The Times that meetings had
been held nationally and locally
aimed at avoiding conflict in
foe courts. The association had
been explaining to the Home
Office and to foe judiciary foe
nature of its objections.
Both foe Home Office and
probation heads bad issued
helpful circulars, Mr Fletcher
said, reemphasizing foe need for
consultation and that magis-
trates should lake note of foe
probation officer's views.
Under foe curfew order a
juvenile can be instructed to
remain at home or at a specified
address for a maximum of 10
hours between 6 pm and 6 am
for up to 30 days. The court
must first consult foe sepervisor
about the likelihood of com-
pliance.
In a memorandum to mem-
bers this week. Mr Fletcher says
that oil behalf of foe. service
they should accept an order
made despite an officer’s ad-
vice. They should then pass it to
senior management for action.
Napo’s advice ■ to manage-
ment is to take foe order back to
foe court and ask -that foe
curfew or negative requirement
be struck out. Then membexs
would be happy to accept - -
This week Napo said that it
would advise management to
take back to court foe case of a
man placed on probation by
Bromley magistrates for 12
months with a condition that he
reside at a probation hostel and
be in by 9pra each evening.
Napo says foal in practice foe
sentence would bar him from
weekend leave and turn the
hostel into. a part-time prison.

day that it win begin a £99
Galwick-New York service ncxi
Friday as a challenge to the
Government to court electoral
unpopularity by stopping- it an^
in spite of a delayed decision by
the Department of Trade.
Mr Harold Parent, the
airline's head of operations, said
after a meeting with the private
secretary of Lord Cockfield,
Secretary of State for Trade,
that he had received assurances
that the service would go ahead
and that British government
permission was purely a for-
mality.
However, the Department of

in the United States courts.
In a High Court ruling in

plane manufacturers, McDon-
nell Douglas, are accused by
the liquidators of conspiring to
bring Laker down, and face
both grand jury indictment and
huge civil damages for alleged
offences against anti-trust
laws.
They deny the charge, and
the British Government has
objected to proceedings in the
United States in regard to
actions between British com-
panies. The United States
Government has refused to
withdraw its indictment, and a
further meeting is to be held
between United States and
Department of Trade officials
In London next week.
Yesterday's ruling said
there was no reason ^ why the
civil action should not proceed
too.
Mr Christopher Morris, the
Laker liquidator, said he was
pleased with the ruling.
Earlier this month a US
judge ruled that the case
should be heard there, mainly
because Britain, did not have
the equivalent of US antitrust
laws. It would be an injustice
to creditors not to have
recourse to US courts. Mr
Justice Parker ruled yesterday
that from the British point of
view there seemed nothing
unjust in allowing the US
action to proceed.
British Airways said last

viability and financial sound-
ness of the airline and the future
of the service.”
Mr Paretti said that People
Express, launched two years
ago, already had a stock market
valuation of $400m and in the
first quarter of this year had the
highest earnings per share of
any US airline.
He said that thousands of
applications to fly on the cheap
service wc being received
every day and the service was
absolutely in line with Con-
servative policy. “Your Prime
Minister is seeking re-election
on a platform of fostering
competition and our service is
right in line with that”, he said.
He attributed the delay to the
low fere of £99 which compares
with £210 by other carriers.
“When you put in for a higher
fare these applications axe quite
simple because you are playing
the cartel game", Mr Paretti
said.
As fares are paid on board,
passengers who book on Mon-
day will not lose money if the
permission does not come
through, Mr Paretti said. But he
was confident that it would, on
assurances from large numbers
of people whom be declined to

British Airways and British

grounds that there is already

that British-US agreements

juries and defendants, was
urged by Lord Lane, the Lord
Chief Justice, in Torquay
yesterday.
He told the annual confer-
ence of the Justices' Clerks*
{society that certain trials such
as big City fraud cases and
insurance swindles lasted six or
nine months.
“The reasons are partly habit,
laziness on the pan of advocates
who fail to see the point and
stick to it, and partly it grows
upon itself.
Another reason, he said, was
the complexity of cases.
Lord Lane said that possibly
the most attractive answer was
to have a judge with commer-
cial and criminal experience
sitting with two lay assessors.
They would have to give
reasons for their conclusions on
facts and those reasons would
be subject to review by a court
of appeaL That might in the end
produce a more just system.
But the chance of obtaining
the reform was remote. “There
are no votes in changing the
jury system, as there are no
votes in building more prisons.”

Stammering
security
guard is
dismissed
From Our Correspondent
Liverpool
A security guard who was
dismissed for stammering has
bad his case taken up by the
Labour Party in Huyion,
Merseyside, after he com-
plained to Sir Harold Wilson,
then MP for Huyion.
Mr Keith Gallagher, aged 25,
who has had a speech defect
since he was 12, lost his job
with Alsecure Guards after six
weeks, and was told he might be
reemployed if he could cure his
stammer.
But Mr Gallagher, who gave
up speech therapy sessions to
take the job as a patrolling
security guard, said: “I know
there is no chance of that
happening for at least five
yean”.
On May 5 he received a letter
of dismissal telling him his
speech impediment would af-
fect his ability do the job. It was
signed by Mr Ray Edgell. the
Manchester-based company's
personnel manager, who had
originally interviewed him for
the job.
“They knew full well I bad a
speech impediment,” Mr Gal-
lagher said. “My interview
lasted over an hour and a half
and I stammered quite a lot
during that How I speak has
got nothing to do with the job.
Mr Gallagher, of Hurst Park
Drive. Huyton. received his
cards from the Firm on Wednes-
day. “It seems there is nothing I
can do about it”, he said.
Mr Eugene Douglas, Alse-
cure’ s general manager, refused
to comment yesterday.

Top award
for artist
not an RA
By Christopher Warman
Arts Correspondent
The award for the “most
distinguished work in the
exhibition” at the Royal Acad-
emy of Arts' summer exhi-
bition, which opens next week
in London, has gone to Victor
Pasmore for his painting, “The
man between”.
It is only the second time Mr
Pasmore has submitted a work
for the exhibition, and he wins
the Charles Wollaston award of
£2.000.
The Johnson Wax award of
£5,000 for the “most outstand-
ing exhibit” was won by David
Tindle for his painting “After-
noon. Oipston". Elizabeth Bla-
ckadder won the £500 Pimrns

£100m flats for elderly
By Baron Phillips, Property Correspondent
A £100m expansion to
provide private sector homes
for the elderly was unveiled
yesterday by McCarthy and
Stone, one of the leading
sheltered housing companies.
The company aims at doub-
ling construction of retirement
homes by the end of this year
and creating 1,000 jobs. Mr
John McCarthy, chairman and
managing director, said work
will have started on about 1,650
flats on 35 different sites and
next year construction is ex-
pected to bran on a further
2,500 homes tor the elderly.
It is believed there axe II
million people over the age of
60 in Britain, yet few of the
main builders have attempted
to construct homes for men and
women approaching retirement.
McCarthy and Slone has
specialized in this area of the
market for the past seven years,
mainly in southern England.
The expansion means it will be
developing sites across the
country.
The company provides main-
ly single person homes with
communal services and a
resident warden. Average prices
are about £24,000, with some
costing £19,000 and others up
to £35,000.
The flats are sold on 99-year
leases and occupancy is restric-
ted to people over the age of 60,
but they can be purchased by
younger people on behalf of
parents.
Th Science and Engin-
eering Research Council said
yesterday that six or seven step
like the Son are forming within
dark dust clouds in the Earth’s
galaxy. .
The discovery was made
through the Iras infrared satel-
lite, which was also involved in
the detection of the new comet
that passed the Earth last week.
The new suns, known as
protostars, are no more than a
million years old. Astronomers
say they are similar to what our
Sun. was like during its early
stages of formation, 4,600
million years ago. They are
about 1,000 light years from
Fanh, a relatively short distance
in galactic terms, since our
galaxy covers about 100,000
light years.
Scientists believe that be-
cause the protostars are like the
early Sun, planets may be
forming round them. The new
suns are still enshrouded in gas
and dust and only a feint glow
was detected by the infrared
telescope on board the satellite.
In less than a million years it
may be possible to see them in
visible light.
Justice seen
in action
Eighteen magistrates and
lawyers from Venice, paying a
visit to a court in London
yesterday, saw British justice in
action outside it.
As they walked out of
Marlborough Street Magis-
trates' court the Italians found
the police had clamped up their
cars, parked on a yellow line.
£50,000 fine
cut to £5,000
A “deterrent" £50,000 fine on
Bernard Coral, former bead of a
London casino group, for
conspiring to breach the Gam-
ing Act, 1968. was reduced to
£5,000 by the Court of Appeal
yesterday.
Lord Justice Lawton said that
the offences which brought
Coral to court were stale, and
that London casinos had al-
ready been brought under
control by the Gaming Board
and police in the late 1970s.
There was no need for a
deterrent penalty and the fine,
imposed last year, was out of
line.
Rector cleared
of boy’s death
Mr Geoffrey Lester, the
rector of Bath Abbey, was
cleared of blame yesterday for
an accident in which Lee Nazer,
aged 12. died after his bicycle
ran into the path of Mr Lesters
car near the boy's borne in the
Paragon. Bath.
Mr Lester told an inquest at
Bath that the boy appeared to
lose control of his bicycle,
which left the pavement. A
verdict of accidental death was
recorded.
Lake District

The Forestry Commission
has rejected the offer by the
Friends of the Lake District to
buy its 370-acre estate at
Grassguards. in Dunnervale, in
the Lake District National Park.
The friends offered to pur-
chase the estate to try to prevent

Double rapist gets
two life sentences
Kevin Deterville, aged 19, a
rapist described as a “continu-
ing menace to women", was
given two life sentances at the
Central Criminal Court yester-
day.
The accused, who admitted
raping two women and inde-
cently assaulting a third after
escaping from custody, was told
by Mr David Tudor Price, the
Common Seijeanc “If and
when you cease to be a menace
to the public you m be
released”. „ . , ,
Deterville, of Chiswick Lane,
Chiswick, west London, _ had
pleaded guilty to what the judge
described as a “catalogue of
crime”, II offences, including
the two rapes, the indecent
assault and robbery on a third
woman and theft, burglary,
escape from custody and as-
saulting a prison officer.
The judge said probation
officers expressed apprehension
about an early release lor
Deterville, who they said had
shown no regret or remorse and
was a continuing danger to
women.
Mr Julian Be van, for the
. prosecution, said Deterville
raped his first victim on April -5
last year. The woman, aged 20,
was grabbed in a street in
Chiswick at 1230 am. He hit
her repeatedly, forced her to go
to a park and raped her.
The second attack occurred
on September 6. A woman aged
20 living in a ground floor flat
in Chiswick woke op about 1
am. Deterville was crouching
over her. She felt a lcnife
sticking in her ribs. He raped
her, leaving her in a “terrible
State”.
Deterville escaped from
Acton Magistrates’ Court on
September 22 after biting a
prison officer. He was arrested
while hiding in a back garden in
Acton after being seen climbing
out of a house.

ELECTION JUNE 83
Women’s polls # Royal postponement • Food price rises # Constituency profiles
Why the women’s vote
has taken on new
importance for June 9
The election win be very
much a women’s affair , anH hot
simply because it was can«t by
* Its Margaret Thatcher. In the
backrooms where the party
psephologists are now analyzing
the last decimal point of every
published poll - and the
minutiae of guile a few which
are carried out more discreetly -
it is being realized that the
voting predilections of the
female electorate are more
important than ever before as a
key to Downing Street
Women represent a slim
majority - 52 per cent - of the
electorate. The deserting of
Labour by women in the DE
socio-economic grouping -
widows on state pension, and
the wives of semi-skilled or
unemployed men - was an
important factor behind Mrs
Thatcher's victory at the last
election. Contrary to expec-
tations. they went with the
Conservatives, mainly influ-
enced. according to the poll-
sters, by the promise of the sale
of council houses.
The Tories hotly deny that
By David Hewson
there was any specific attempt
to target a particular group of
women in that election or in
this. Indeed, the question of
how the parlies shape their
campaign towards gaining the
support of key groups of the
population in one which few
politicians will tackle publicly.
Sarah Horack, who looks
after poll research for the SDP,
says, very carefully, that there is
a “perceived wisdom” that the
targeting of policies at specific
groups of volatile voters took
place in 1979. notably with the
Tories on council house sales.
“It is regarded as rather a
cynical exercise perticuarly
when you have someone who is
so Home Counties suburban
upper class as Mrs T hatch er
talking down to working class
women. “It is not an exercise
we would engage in.”
Joyce Gould, Labour’s assist-
ant national agent and chief
women’s officer, confirms that
the importance of the women's
vote has grown, and demands
more attention than it used to
receive.

“We’re getting away from a
male dominated society.
Women have different interests,
their whole lifestyle is different,
and their priorities are different,
and therefore we look to them,
as we look at every sector d
society, for support.
“The Tories certainly tar-
geted women in 1979, but they
can’t in Ibis election; the actions
of the Government have made
it impossible this time. The
Government’s record on
women is diabolical. Women
are no longer prepared to be
told that their role is to stay at
home and be a replacement fix 1
a social services system."
The- support from working
class women which helped Mrs
Thatcher into Downing Street
has waned marginally, though
the Tories are still 10 points
ahead of Labour among all
women, according to the lastest
MORI poll ftwnminiwfl the
breakdown.
But the exercise of
the female vote has been
immeasurably muddied by the
fact that women do not respond
to the tried and tested electoral
attitudes which affect men.
MORTs Mr Brian Goss-
chalk’s says: “Women are more
-interested in parochial issues,
such as schools, pensions and
social services. While men may
feel they know something about
defence policy, women tend to a
gut reaction against what they
view as militarist actions. This
was most noticeable HwHng the
Falklands campaign, when a
significantly lower number of
women supported foe task
force, and the focal point of the
Greenham Common protest
late last year when the polls
showed a distinct movement
among women - from Tory
support to Labour.
Both factors appear to have
run their course, and, according
to the pollsters, few- distinct
issues now divide men and
women.

Royal poll day visits called off
The Queen, who unlike some
of her predecessors, takes a
highly proper view of her
constitutional position above
politics, is taking no chances on .
election day. She has postponed
her planned visit to the South of

Aidingly in Sussex.
But not so the Duke of
Edinburgh, who intends to
proceed with his principal
public engagement of the day, a
visit to Cambridge University
in his role as Chancellor.
Other members of the Royal
Family are pursuing the safer
course of postponing, altering or
cancelling public engagements
for June 9.
The Prince of Wales was to

The Princess of Wales was to
have attended Founder's Day

must wait until the next day.

The Duke of Edinburgh does

vote for the first time in this

tinguished names appear this
time on the electoral roll for
Campden ward in the constitu-
ency of Kensington and Chel-

cess of Wales appears as 2685
on the register, and Princess
Margaret's children Lord Linley

It would be an unlikely break

Alliance takes over Thatcher’s shopping list
^Looking like a husband . and wife,
slightly dishevelled, who had just
rushed through a supermarket, Mr
David Steel, the liberal leader, and
Mrs Shirley. W illiams^ president of the
Social Democratic Party, arrived at
the Liberal/SDP Alliance press con-
ference in London yesterday with a
plastic bag; fall of groceries. Our
Political Staff writes.
They said they had chosen the same
items as those included by Mrs
Margaret Thatcher in May, 1979, in
her “shopping basket” that showed
the increase in prices during the period
of the Labour Government. Mr Steel
and Mrs W illiams wanted to shame
Mrs Thatcher into admitting that her
Government’s policies had been just as
disastrous for the housewife.
One by one, Mr Steel took out the
items: corn Hakes, in Mrs Thatcher’s
basket 37p, now 53p; a loaf of bread,
up from 29 to 47p; flour, up from.
27p to .39 ! £p; sugar, up from 29p to
46p . .- . -. And so he continued.
The total price, on the same basket,
of goods, was now £7.8p compared
with £4«87p in 1979. “The fact is that
foe price of foe total basket has risen
by 45p in foe pound ’since foe last
election”, Mr Steel said.
“So before anyone starts handing
out plandits for the Tory record on
inflation, we should remember that
today's 4 per cent rate of annual
increase compares irife^jf per cent in
the United States, 3L3 per cent' m
Germany, and 2.4 per cent in Japan —
and they all have lower 'levels of
unemployment than Britain, 4 * Despite
the pain of. more than force. mfl£on
unemployed, Britain still had * rate
well above that of many of her
competitors:
“Mrs Thatcher believes that fob
only way to cure inflation is by
continuing increases in naemploy-'
meat”, Mr Steel said. “That is not a
remedy we can tolerate.” :

The crash of 1985
warning by Livingstone
By David Hewsou
Britain feces a 1929-style
economic crash within foe next
two years whatever party was
tiie next election, according to
Mr Ken Livingstone, the
Greater London Council leader
(right).
“I think there’s a better
titan evens chance that the
crash will happen whoever is
in power.. If Labour is in office
when that hits ft foe
Government will have to go for
a complete re stru c tu r i ng of the
British economy, .but it will
still be a major task to sarrive
that sort of recession, coming
alter bring told things are
getting better we will see a real
collapse of faith in democratic
institutions.”
Mr Livingstone said his
belief was based on the
predictions of the GLCs
economists. “The Tories are
dearly getting the same advice
which is why they are going
for an early election. I think
Mrs Thatcher sees it as a real
risk herself, which is why
there are new powers for the
police in the C riminal Evi-
dence BiU which win imdonbt-
edly be introduced because
Mrs Thatcher will see a major
role for the police in maintain-
ing social order.”
The crash would be caused
either by a stamp in com-
modity prices or a callapse in
foe banking system' sparked
by the defaulting on loans of a
Third World cou n tr y , Mr
Livingstone said.
“The only way to survive it
would be to direct foe re-
sources you have u this
country to cashioh people from
foe impact In that sort of
crisis yon would have to say
flat the wealth that is being
created in Britain cannot be
invested abroad as the banks
and finance bosses choose, you
would have to direct that
investment into reb uilding
sections of our economy,
laying foe foundations for
economic growth , in the same
way that the Germans ' did
after the fast war.
“All those things would
help to mitigate that recession
and allow a Labour govern-
ment to introduce the sort of
economic restructuring which
tire Labour governments of the
1960s and 1970s failed to do. I
am saying effectively that the
crisis would force foe Govern-
ment to be radical and
socialist”
Mr Livingstone conceded
that the sort of action he
envisaged was not contained hi
Labour’s election manifesto.
“The manifesto is a pretty
favourable reflection of what
the consensus is with i n foe
party and the trade muons : at
the moment It dearly does not
allow for the sortuf economic
crisis which we may face in- foe
next two years.”

Benn woos
elderly
voters
Mr Wedgwood Benn, in his
first campaign speech, yesterday
pnt forward plan to catch the
pensioners' vote and called for
an open education system.
Speaking to a Labour group
meeting at Bristol University, a
few rnfles from the marginal
Bristol, East, seat he hopes to
wizi, he outlined what he said
socialism "is all about”.
That included offering coal
free to the Central Electricity
Generating Board to provide
cut-price heating to pensioners,
and free television licences and
train travel for them.
He also criticized the edu-
cation system: “I do not believe
in the rubbish of “O" and “A"
levels. The whole idea of
education being a ladder which
gets harder to climb is a fraud to
ration out jobs."
Reselection
battle lost
Mr William Rees-Davies,
QC, who was dropped by his
Thanet North constituency
party last Sunday, yesterday lost
his high court battle for a
second chance of reselection as
a Conservative candidate.
Mr Justice Ca ufi e ld rejected a
claim by Mr Rees-Davies, a
Thanet MP for 30 years, that
the Conservative Association
for -the new Thanet North
constituency had acted illegally
in the way they adopted Mr
Roger Gale, a television
producer, as parliamentary
candidate.
Tories go north
Scotland's Conservatives
launched their election cam-
paign yesterday confident that
boundary changes have given
the party good opportunities to
tnVe several constituencies. Mr
George Younger, the Scottish
Secretary, said the party had not
flinched from difficult de-
cisions.
Post votes plea
Three hundred Stirling Uni-
versity students may be allowed
postal votes if a sheriffs court
allows the appeal by six
students against a decision by
Central Region’s electoral regis-
tration officer that they cannot

by £2 a week, single pe n si on s by
£1.45 a week, and a couple’s
pension by £225 a week, Mr

Tories leak Howe’s
cost estimate
of Labour promises
By Our Political Editor

Smith
The
Research Department yesterday
jumped the gun on Sir Geoffrey
Howe, Chancellor of the Exche-
quer. by "leaking" ah
Treasury costing of Labour's
manifesto promises which he
was saving for next week.
Sir Geoffrey, at the Conserva-
tives* morning press conference
ai Westminster, played the
traditional gambit of inviting
his opponents to say what their
plans would cost. It was a vital
issue in this campaign, he said.
Mr Michael Foot had said
that Labour's emergency pro-
ne to be launched in its
ludget would cost £1 lbn,
but that was only part of its
programme for a full Parlia-
ment.
If Mr Michael Foot and Mr
Peter Shore, the Shadow Chan-
cellor, did not publish by
alone would cost £28bn a year,
the briefing said, with about
£21 bn spent on reimbursing
shareholders in firms taken oyer
by the state and more than
£20bn on mtimripalizing pri-
vate rented housing.
Treasury officials were wary
yesterday about being drawn
into political argument and
would make no comment on
the figures. It was acknow-
ledged, however, that routine
work was in progress at tfae
Treasury as in other depart-
ments on the policy and
financial implications of each
party’s manifesto promises so
that the government machine
would be ready for any
coming administration.
But officials appear to believe
that the Conservative Research
Department's estimates are too

an open-air meeting started.
Mr Heath, asked if he was
at aO worried by Mr Foot's
presence, replied: “This is a
free counry; he can do what he
wants. He is entitled to have
his own meeting up there.
- "I do not want to hear what
he has to say, 1 have heard it
so- often before. There is
nothing new about it," he said,

began to attract some of the
crowd from Mr Foot.

Mr Foot's visit was to

‘Time Out’
may sue
Tebbit
The London magazine Time
Out is considering legal action
against Mr Norman Tebbit,
Secretary of State for Employ-
ment, over his reaction to its
story about a “leaked" report,
by the Central Policy Review
Staff on unemployment trends.
The story, which provoked a
political row on Thursday when
Mr Denis Healey, deputy leader
of the Labour Party. accused the
Government of “lying" about
unemployment, was strongly
criticized by Mr Tebbit in
statement issued through Con-
servative central office.
He said that Time Out’s
version of the "Think Tank
report was “grossly distorted by
selective censorship". After
pointing out an incomplete
quotation by the magazine, Mr
Tebbit added: “No more need
be said of the veracity of Time
Out hacks or their accomplice
Mr Healey."
Yesterday. Time Out claimed
that his remarks were "ex-
tremely defamatory" and an
attack on its journalists* credi-
bility and professionalism.
Mr Don Atyeo, the editor,
said that Mr Tebbit himself had
misquoted the report, and
added "Tebbit does not answer
any of the other allegations in
the article. In the circumstances
we have no alternative but to
place the matter with our
lawyers."
Mr David Rose, the writer of
the article, denied that he bad
assisted Mr Healey in any way,
or had any direct contact with
him.
UK wasting £lm a day
on EEC, Heffer says
Mr Heffer: Killing industry
Britain's £5, 000m trading
deficit with the other members
of the European Community
was destroying our industries,
Mr Eric Heffer, Labour’s
spokesman on Europe, said
yesterday. '
Britain was pouring £lm a
day into the EEC coffers, most
of which went towards a
wasteful and immoral common
agricultural policy.
Mr Heffer was replying to a
statement by Mr Douglas Hurd,
Minister of State for Foreign
Affairs, who said in an inter-
view with The Times this week
that Labour's plan to withdraw
By Our Political Staff
from the EEC would create
chaos in the steel, textile and
farming industries.
The Community's steel pol-
icy had resulted in a five-fold
increase in unemployment in
steel, Mr Heffer said. Textile
imports from the rest of the
Community had increased by
23 per cent last year and, under
the rules. Britain could do little
to reverse the trend.
“Gearing up this mess will be
the responsibility of the next
Labour government. It is a task
the Tories have nm away
from", Mr Heffer said.

Influence v control

Secretary, on Labours pro-

trol of the police: “1 am all for

something of irreparable dsw-
age to this country. You will, in

Just about every success '

Indeed, tbe quality and deter-

record of achievement. •’*

If the Conservatives win this »
election, as all the pofite*
snggest that they will, it will
be becanse they convey a modi _■
stronger impression than the
other parties of knowing ^
precisely what they mean to«
do. It is a style especially •
associated with Mrs Thatcher. ‘
Bat will the voters still be;
impressed with her strength,
and authority after another
three weeks of campaigning, or
might they by then find her :
very assurance grating on their
nerves? It must be one of tbe
principal objectives of the;
Conservative campaign to
guard against that risk.
From that point of view,
yesterday's press conference
was a success. Mrs Thatcher
gove a commanding perform-
ance. without becoming either
shrill or hectoring. Occasion-
ally the waspish sting was
evident, hot not more than may
be regarded as permissible to a
politician under the pressure
of critical questioning. She
dealt magisterially with Mr
Healey's accusation of lying
about unemployment, without
succumbing to what must have
been the temptation to become
involved in a slanging match
with him.
She even remembered on
one or two occasions to refer
questions to Sir Geoffrey
Howe and Mr Patrick Jenkin,
who were with her on the
platform. The desired im-
pression of a Cabinet of
colleagues might have been
conveyed still more effectively
if. after asking Sir Geoffrey for
his comments on one question,
she had not then chatted to Mr
Jenkin during Sir Geoffrey’s
answer. Neither they, nor the
party chairman, Mr Cedi
Parkinson, who was also on
the platform, thought of
chatting while she was speak-
ing.
One cannot yet be convinced
that the Conservatives will
avoid the trap of seeming to
rely too heavily on her as the
campaign progresses. Central
Office appears strangely reluc-
tant to publicize the activities
of ocher Cabinet ministers. It
is not possible to get their
speaking engagements for
more than three days ahead, a
practice which, if it is con-
tinned throughout tbe cam-
paign, will inevitably result in
media attention being focused
even more than it otherwise
would be on Mrs Thatcher.
A party that is consistently
well ahead in the polls always
needs to guard against the
danger of appearing to bask in
its own popularity. It has to
remain sensitive, even as it
feels itself to be cruising. to
victory, to the preoccupations
of particular sections of the
electorate. The Conservative
private polls, for example,
hare not been showing the
usual evidence of the party
having more appeal for women
than men.
That seems to be partly
because women are naturally
particularly worried about
unemployment becanse they
see the effects on family and
friends. More of them are
liable to fear the risks of
nuclear war. But another
surprising reason has emerged
why the Conservatives lave
not been doing quite so well as
they might have expected
among women voters: they are
not being given the foil credit
for the Government’s achieve-
ment on inflation. A number of
women have apparently felt
that the claims of dedinhw
inflation most be bogus be-
cause they do not find pikes
going down in the shops.
That ought not tn be a
problem beyond the powers of
Conservative publicists. But it

The implication of the
meeting-which resulted in a
letter being sent to the Polish
Parliament calling for an am-
nesty and the reinstatement of
the former trade unions-was
that Mr Walesa was trying to
broaden the opposition to
Government policies by talking
to both the illegal underground
and the formerly pro-Commu-
nist but now disbanded branch
unions.
Dr Geremek’s role in this
new strategy of Mr Walesa’s is
not entirely clear. He is viewed
by many observers as being one
of the most moderate of the
Solidarity leader's consultants.
Some Solidarity sympathizers
therefore think that the arrest of
Dr Geremel may be designed to
push Mr Walesa into a radical
corner, allowing the authorities
to brand him as an extremist

United States poised to
Washington (NYT) - India
has quietly expressed interest in
buying machine guns, mobile
howitzers and C130 aircraft in a
potential s 1 , 000 m sale of arms
from the United States, accord-
ing to Administration officials.
Such amove, after months of
secret talks, would mark a
significant step away from
India’s reliance on the Soviet
Union as its main arms
supplier. It would definitely be
a positive step in relatio n^ a
State Department official said.
India, seeking to diversify its
arms purchases abroad in recent
years, has bought Mirage
fighters from France, Jaguar jets
from .Britain and submarines
from West Germany. The
politically delicate discussions
with the US have involved a
wide range of weapons includ-
ing F20 Tigershark jet fighters.
The talks began after Mrs
Indira Gandhi.* the Indian
Prime Minister visited the
United States last year, officials
said, when President Reagan
directed his administration to
press for an arms relationship
with India. Officials of the
National Security Council and
the Defence Department have
played key • roles in talks, in
Washington and in Delhi
between Mr Harry Barnes, the
LIS ambassador, and Indian
military aides.
Officials close to the dis-
cussions said India's forces were
especially interested in baying
American weaponry, and had
observed and commented on
sales to India
Israel's military mastery and its
n* of American weapons over
the Syrians, with their Soviet
weaponry, in the conflict ifl
Lebanon last year.
Various possibilities have
been explored, ranging from
small arms to aircraft,” said a
ranking Defence D ep a rtm ent
official. “Nothing is dosing-
right now, but it may. The-
Indians have been talking to our
production managers."
Another official said India
had shown genuine interest in
buying 50-calibre guns, self-
propelled 155mm artillery and
Cl 30 transport aircraft, which
would ■ largely be used for
scientific teams ini the Antarctic.
India makes about 85 per
cent of its arms, including its
own infantry field gun. artillery,
tanks, trucks, some rockets acid
planes. It has largely depended
on - Moscow for the remaining
IS per cent, with the Russians
offering highly concessional
terms involving credits repay-
able in local currency. Moscow
is said to supply T72 tank*,
surface-to-air missiles, patrol
boats, anti-tank weapons and
electronic equipment.
The US has served as
Pakistan’s major arms supplier
but has never provided a major
flow of weapons to India. It
once sold weaponry there but'
cu t off those sales during India’s
wars with Pakistan in 1965 and
1971.
Senator Orrin G.' Hatch,
deputy foreign policy chairman
of* the Senate steering com-
mittee, said in the senate on
Thursday that a historic shift
was under way in US-Indian
relations brought about by the
strategic vision of President
Reagan and his advisers.
The steering committee, a
conservative group of 25 sena-
tors, is known to meet regularly
Mr William P Clark, the
‘National Security Council Dir-
ector.
Mr Hatch (Republican, Utah)
said that India's relations with
China and Pakistan has wanned
considerably and that foe
Reagan Administration is on
the verge of establishing a
balanced American relationship
with India and Pakistan fix: foe
first time in many years.
He said that Indian requests
to purchase equipment wall be
acted upon favourably by
Congress. There was bipartisan
support for such sales and many
conservative senators supported
foe effort to de-couple Mrs
Gandhi from her dose relations
with the Soviet Union.
It is known that Mr Hatch
recently sent an aide, Mr
Michael PiUsbury, to Delhi
twice to assure foe Indian
Government that there would
be considerable ' Congressional
support for foe arms sales
despite Mrs Gandhi’s friendly
ties with foe Soviet Union.

San Jos6 (Reuter) - Nicara-

Casulty figures were not

The spokesman said foe

battle for the seat of foe
European Parliament
Thousands of the thick white
stalks have been cut from the
soaking ground in the country-
side and marshalled in . the
kitchens of A La Charrne for
foe annual Euro-MPs dinner.
The dinner is a four-year-old
tradition established by the
near-legendary former mayor of
Strasbourg, M Pierre Pflimlin,
as part of his campaign to keep
all European Parliament ses-
sions in his city.
Thepartiamemarians are
rounded up in coaches and
driven out to. this, typical tourist
Alsatian village, with its black
and white houses -with carved
shutters and steep-tiled roofs.
M Marcel . Rudloff the
chosen successor of M Pflimlin,
welcomes all his guests to the
hi ue-and-white-striped tent in
the yard of the restaurant.
While foe band plays, the meal
is served.
First come china trugs shaped
to look like bundles of aspara-
gas. with foe steaming stalks
piled up inside. As they are
cmpliedand cleared away, foe
■ccond course amves-more
china trugs with more aspara-
pas. The chilled Pinot flows, the
noise and bonhommie rise and
the pink alsatian ham arrives,
s.-rved with a side vegetable-as-
paragas.
Former Nazi
saved by
Madrid judges
The bam is finished, but for
the hungry there are always
more-tings of asparagas. to pick
at. until the cheese-Snd-straw-
berry gateau arrives. *
M Rudloff does not dnquise
that this is all a bribe when he
makes the speech of welcome to
“this metropolis of the aspara-
gus”. This is the only place, he
claims, where such splendid
asparagus can be grown in such
quantities.
(It is. certainly different,
whiter, coarser, less subtly
flavoured than its Ew ^iM
cousin. But in the cause of
European solidarity, this is not
an opinion -which should be
voiced too loudly in HocrdL)
M Rudloff enthuses' on. The
asparagus . • epitomized the
springtime and is thus right for
Europe. In the argument over
where “this or that European
institution”' should be. il had to
be remembered that only in
Strasbourg could parliamen-
tarians really enjoy tins fitting
European symbol of youth and
hope:
The MEPs, who are known to
be flirting seriously with the
idea of transferring at least
some of their sessions ' to
Brussels, dap happily and lick
their fingers.
' For. all its inconveniences in
being divorced from the other
institutions of Europe, Stras-
bourg may not. be such a bad
place to meet after all -
especially in May.

Canada’s anti-spy unit
given Orwellian powers
From John Best, Ottawa
A stormy passage through
Parliament awaits a Bill setting
up a new civilian security and
counter-intelligence service in
Canada separate from the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police.
The long-awaited BtR, which
for foe first time would give the
country an agency with a
separate and precise mandate to
fight, espionage, sabotage, ter-
rorism, political violence and
subversion, has provoked
serious controversy.
Il will allow agents to open
mail, break into homes and
offices, tap telephones and plant
electronic listening devices.
Precisely such practices by
the RCMP security arm gave
rise to .a royal commissiofl
which reported two years ago. It
recommended -establishment of
the new security service, most
of whose members would come,
at foe outset, from foe ranks of
the police security branch.
The left-wing New Demo-
cratic Party has already vowed
to fight the Bill, describing iijs
"Orwellian”, while foe main
Conservative oppostkm has
expressed reservations. How-
ever, the Liberal majority can
be expected to prevail in the
end.
Minor law-breaking, -such as
registering at a hotel under a
false name, is covered by a
section which permits security
agents to ‘‘take such reasonable
actions as . are reasonably
necessary to perform 7 their
duties. - ”
However, an elaborate sys-
tem of checks has been written
into foe legislation. To begin
with, the intrusions would have
to be authorized by a judge of
the Federal Court.
A security intelligence review
committee, consisting -of three
privy councillors, will review all
activities of the service. It wfll
also hear conqriamts ' about
alleged abuses. . .
An inspector-general will also
be appointed to review the
acenev’s operational activities.
B Tb new - agency wfll be
forbidden to investigate any
group or indftridual solely on
the basis of participation in
-lawful advocacy, protest or
dissent”.
Mr Robert Kaplan, Solicitor-
General, told reporters that, the
new service win opera tejmd er
—one of foe most effective
control systems in the Western
world.”

Mitterrand on trade
but health row grows
No sooner had President
Miaerand s beleaguered
'joverninent begun to draw
s ° rae crumbs of comfort from
the best trade results for more
inan IS months, than it was
faced with a new potential
conflict
This is its proposal to charge
patients 20 per cent of the cost
of certain operations as part of
its efforts to balance the social
security and health insurance
fund.
The fund, with a budget this
year of 550 billion francs
(£47.000m) has accumulated a
deficit over the past two years
of around 15 billion francs, and
is expected to make a further
deficit this year of 5 billion
francs unless costs are cut or
contributions raised.
As part of its austerity
package, the Government an-
nounced in March a new levy of
I per cent on taxable income,
whose proceeds are intended to
go to the fund. But that will
only raise an estimated 1 1
billion francs. Further measures
are therefore needed.
The Communist Party in-
sisted yesterday that it would
never accept a fall in the level of
reimbursement, at present 100
per cent, for surgical operations.
The three main trade union
federations also described the
proposal as totally unaccept-
able. particulary coming on top
of the recent introduction of a
daily 20 franc charge for
From Diana Geddas, Paris
hospital patients, and the cut in
the level of reimbursement for
certain medicines from 70 per
cent to 40 percent.
The announcement that the
trade defeat in April had fallen
to 1L5 billion francs, compared
with an average monthly deficit
for the first quarter of more
then 8 billion francs, prompted
unexpected support for the
Government's austerity mea-
sures from M Yvon Gaaaz,
president of die CNPF, die
main employers' federation.
Such measures were inevi-
table, he said, because the trade
deficit had become a national
scourge. “Jacques Delors (the
Finance Minister) is right to
fight, as he has, against in-
flation; we are ready to help
him, " he continued. The
French people, and the unions
in particular, must now be
prepared to acoept a fell in the
purchasing power of then-
salaries.
His comments will do little to
ease the growing tension and
discontent among the unions
and the Communist Party,
however. M Pierre Juquin. a
member of the Communist
Party politburo, said earlier this
week that “the left will saw off
the branch on which it is sitting
if it does not maintain the
purchasing power of workers’
salaries".
M Juquin reiterated the
Communist Party’s increasingly
outspoken criticisms of the
austerity measures, saying that
“the sodal cost was rather high
for very hypothetical results”.
M Georges Marchais, the
party’s general secretary, has
insisted, however, that the
criticisms in no way mark a
change in the party’s attitude
toward its participation in the
government.
It is far too early to attribute
April's good trade figures to the
Government's austerity mea-
sures which were only an-
nounced at the end of March
and which are unlikely to start
bearing fruit until June. The big
drop in the trade deficit was
rather the result of an end to the
speculative buying by com-
panies in anticipation of the
March devaluation of the franc*
and of a fall in oil imports.
The May trade deficit figures
are likely to be higher again,
particularly in view of the
increase in the value of the
dollar which on Thursday
reached a new record high of
7.44 francs, up 13 per cent
compared to its mid-January
level of 6.60 francs; 40 per cent
of French imports have to be
paid for in dollars.
0 Defence programme: The
French National Assembly
yesterday passed on first read-
ing a five-year defence pro-

Japan risks Iraq bombs
and rebuilds in Iran
Tokyo (NYT) - After months
of negotiation, a Japanese
consortium led by the Mitsui
Company has reached an
agreement to resume construc-
tion on a S4 billion (£2.6
billion) petrochemical complex
in southern Iran. Work on the
project has been stalled since
September 1980, shortly after
the war between Iran and Iraq
began.
“We said we would start work
immediately." The Japanese
side agreed to resume the
project, which is in Bandar
Khomeini, despite the con-
tinued fighting between Iran
and Iraq. Previously, Mitsui
had said it would not send its
employees to Iran until the war
was over.
Since .then, the Japanese side
has maintained that unless Iran
assumed all additional costs for
the joint venture, it would not
resume the project. Last Mon-
day, a delegation from Iran's
national petrochemical com-
pany agreed in Tokyo to that
condition, Mitsui said this
week.
Iraq has said it would bomb
the project again if construction
were restarted. Iraq has attacked
the complex, which was . 85 per
cent completed, six times.
All afttitinnal fi nancial re-
quirements will be taken on by
Iran, a Mitsui spokesman said.
The agreement to resume the
petrochemical project was the
second accord reached this
week between Iran and Japan.
Also on Monday, Iran agreed to
sell oil to Japan at 20 to 50 cents
a barrel less than the $28 price
that the Organization of Pet-
roleum Exporting Countries has
established for Iranian ofl.
Anger rises
at killings
in Argentina
From Andrew Thompson
Buenos Aires
The death of two men in a
confused incident involving the
Buenos Aires police has fuelled
a wave of accusations and
protests.
Police said both men were
killed when they opened fire on
a routine police patrol on the
Pan-American Highway. $eor
Osvaldo Cambiaso, according
to officeals, was a former
political prisoner and left-wing
Peronist, while Senor Eduardo
Pereira Rossi was am ember of
the banned Montoneros guer-
rilla group who had returned to
the country secretly.
Human rights groups, politi-
cal parties, and relatives of the
men challenge this . account.

French medical students calling off strike
Paris (AFP) - French *
medical students yesterday
decided -to end their three-
month strike against govern- ..
meat reforms of medical
studies. Delegates with man-'
dates from 44' university
hospital centres met in Rouen,
and voted by 11,132 to 6,613 to
call it off.
About half the students
wanting to end the strike voted
for a halt yesterday while
others wanted to stop it next
Wednesday. But the delegates
rejected a draft agreement with
the government drawn up by a
group of five mediators.
The strike, which started in
Palis seven weeks after the
National Assembly had voted
through a reform of- medical
studies, subsequently spread
to die provinces, involving
most of tiie- nation's- 35,000
medical stndents.
The students were angered
by the introduction of a new
selective examination at the
end of the sixth year of studies
to. determine their right to
farther training to become
specialists.

Greek protest over Nato exercises
Greece lodged a strong
protest with Washington be-
cause mixed formations of
American and Turkish aircraft
taking part in Nato exercise
“Distant Drum” repeatedly
trespassed in Aegean air space
on Thursday.
Mr Andreas Papandreou. the
Prime Minister, declared that
the incident raised “very grave
political issues". He added:
“We hope the United States will
size up to its responsibilities".
Some Western diplomats saw
this as a veiled threat to break
off the current US-Greek
negotiations on the foie of the
American bases.
Greece, with responsibility
for air traffic control in the
Athens “flight information -
From Mario Modiano, Athens
region (FIR)", • which en-
compasses practically the entire
Aegean, wants an aircraft
entering this zone to submit
flight plans in advance. Turkish
militar y aircraft refuse . to'
comply.
and Turkish aircraft implied
American support for Turkey’s
Aegean claims.
The Greek Government
opted out of the Nato exercise
because “its scenarios does not
suit the national interest". In
fact, it refuses to join in the
manoeuvres because that would
entitle Turkey to roam freely in
Aegean air space.
Mr Yiannis Haralambopou-
los, the Greek Foreign Miniker,
protested to Mr Monty Stearns,
the American Ambassador here,
yesterday stating that infringe-,
menu of the Athens FIR by US
American sources said the
US never submitted flight plans
of military aircraft using the
Athens FIR antes they
crossed national air space. The
US could not accept a protest
since there had been no
violation of the catehiMied
practice.
Some Western diplomats in
Athens suggested that the Greek
Government's attempt to play
up the incident and create what
they saw as yet another artificial
crisis in its relations with the
United Stales, presaged devel-
opments in the current bases
negotiations.'

British Airways Board v Laker

British Caledonian Airways. Lid
v Same
Before Mr Justice Parker
[Judgment delivered May 20]
Mr Justice Parker dismissed
applications brought by British
Caledonian Airways Ltd and the
British Airways Board in the
Queen’s Bend Division claiming
declar a ti ons that they were under no
liability to Laker Airways Led in,
and injunctions to restrain Laker
from continuing, an anti-trust
action against them in the United
States.
The US daiin alleged that the two
applicants, together with four other
airlines. Pan American, TWA
Lufthansa and Swissair, and two
aircraft manufacturing corporations
in the McDonnell Douglas group ,
had all conspired to bring about the
financial collapse of Laker.
If successful. Laker would be
entitled to triple damages, totalling
more than S 1,000m.
The applicants contended that ft
would be both unjust and contrary
to public policy to allow the US
anti-trust action to p ro ceed.

Jonathan Sumption for the British
Airways Board; Mr Colin Ross-
Mtnxro, QC and Mr David

Airways; Mr David Johnson, QC,

MR JUSTICE PARKER said that
it imd always been rega r ded as of
great importance that there should
not be conflict between the courts of
one country and another. But there
w e re occasions when it might be
n^ n w Hm r y to restrain the pursuit of
proceedings in another country, and
allowance was made for that.
Ex parte injunctions had b een
granted to toe applicants, and they
remained in force pending the
determination of the-_ present
application. The applications were
probably unique in that the relief
was not sought on the usual basis
that toe opposing party could
equally well litigate in the UK.
The conspiracy chin could only
be pursued zn a district court in the
US. Accordingly, if prevented from
miraning ft there. Laker could not
pursuert in the UK or anywhere
«■)«!
jjjg backg round was as follows.
From 1977 the applicant*. Laker
and two US airlines in the anti-trust
action all derived their tight to
operate scheduled transatlantic
flight services from the fac t
that they were designate tfPfFr
ively by toe governments or ms
country and the US ux^** ™
called the Bermuda. 2
His Lordship read articles -(2), 3(1),
3(6) 11. and 12 of that agreement
ft Jas defcr that both govern-
ments had been closely involved m
!, 2 and 4 of toe US.Sbermaa Art
winch formed the basis of the laker
d fe^fc 8! dto
1981 when Dd«r was known to to
.mrve^finandai trouble, toe
applicants and the otlterd^ntianK
combination between tnem ww
two things to drive Laker oot of
business.
First they had dropped feres
although it was wholly uneconomi-
cal for them to do so. Second, tire
airlines had exerted pressure on the
McDonnell Douglas Corporation to
prevent a financial 'rescue operation
reaching fruition.
His Lordship referred to sections
412 (as amended) and 414 of the US
Federal Aviation Art 1958, under
which US air carnets were obliged
to file with the Civil Aeronautics
Board (CAB) a record of every
agreement with another air carrier
affecting air transport
Important features of the' anti-
trust action were that Laker, though
in liquidation, could institute and
pursue that action without affording
the defendants any security for costs
should it fail, because in that case no
costs could be reco vered. - -
Also,, there was no right of
contribution as between defendants,
so that if Laker was successful, ft
could enforce judgment one
defendant alone, who would not be
able to recover against any other
defendant.
Coming to* the law, the principle
authorities on the matter were The
Atlantic Star (11974) AC 436).
McShannon v Rockware Glass
([1978] AC 715), Castanho Brown &
Root (UK) Ltd 019811 AC 557) and
Smith Kline & French v Block (The
Times. May 17, 1982).
In McShannon, Lord Salmon had
expressed the issue on a broad basis
as follows: “The question as to
whether it should, be stayed depends
upon whether the defendants can
establish that to refuse a stay would
produce injustice. . ."
It appeared to his Lordship that
following Adams v Adams ({1971]
PI 88), the Atlantic Star case, and Re
Westinghouse Uranium Contract
(1 1978] AC 547), it might be
legitimate for the court to receive
statements as to government policy
tendered through the Attorney
General Tbe extent to which such
statements would be taken into
account would be limited, since it
was of tbe essence of the rule of law
that tbe rights and obligations of
individuals depended on taw and
uot executive policy.
Mr Peter Scon, on behalf of the
Attorney General had said that her
Majesty’s Government regarded the
government of the US as being in
breach of its obligations under
Bermuda 2 in allowing anti-trust
taws to be applied directly or
indirectly in respect of damage
alleged to have flowed from tariffs
approved under Bermuda 2, thus
undermining that agreement.
That dispute between the govern-
ments was being resolved according
to the dispute procedure.
His Lordship referred to the
Protection of Trading Interests Art
1980, which gave the secretary of
state wide powers. Sections 5 and 6
of the Act dealt with the
enforcement of foreign judgments.
Under section 5, no foreign
judgment was enforceable in this
country if it was a judgment for
multiple damages. That was aimed
directly at judgments in anti-trust
actions, and was not restricted to the
multiple part ofthem.
By Section 6, a qualifying
de fe nda n t in the UK could recover
that part of a judgment which
represented the excess over compen-
sation. ‘
‘ But sections 5 and 6 could pot be
regarded as a sound foundation for
any submission that an anti-trust
action baaed in part on: acts
committed outside the US by
En glish companies constituted such
an invasion of sovereignly that a
UK company engaged, in like
business should be restrained from
pursuing its claim.
In his Lordship's judgm e nt, the
applications by British Caledonian
Airways and the British Airways
Board could be shoni? disposed at
(1) Thiere was nothing in
Bermuda 2 to justify saying it would
be unjust to allow the action to
proceed. It was conceded that
notwithstanding Bermuda 2 a
common law action for conspiracy
could properly be brought. Hence it
oquld not be alleged that Bermuda 2
provided a complete code provided
its provisions were complied with.
Furthermore, even if it could, it
was inherent in the allegations that
the provisions of Bennunda 2 had
not been complied with. If there was
an agreement then it should under
article 12 have been submitted to
the CAB approval It bad not.
(2) Since, if there was a feres
agreement, anti-trust exemption
could have been sought and since
both applicants (a) carried on
business in tbe US at the material
time (b>while so doing were alleged
to have' combined with American
airlines in breach of anti-trust, (c)
had necessarily, in order to put the
alleged combination into effect, to
put feres before CAB for approval
and (d) also concealed from CAB
the existence of the - alleged
agreement, there was nothing uqjust
in allowing Laker to proceed.
(3) The submission that if .the '
anti-trust laws continued to operate'
it would be a derogation from the
grant by the US of rights under
Bermuda 2, was wholly unsustai-
nable, unless Bermuda 2 could be
construed as granting to the UK a
blanket exemption from ant-trust
actions against its designated airline
by othera-of fts d es ig nated airlines.
There was no basis on which it
could be so construed.
Regina ▼ Gibson (Irano)
Before Lord Justice Watkins. Mr
Justice Drake and Mr Justice
Beldam
(4) His Lordship was unable to
accept that there was any invasion
of sovereignty involved in applying
anti-trust taws to companies
carrying- on business in the US
under- Bermuda 2 in repect of then-
operation of such business even if
the greater part of what was
compl ain ed of took place outside
the US and in the UK.
It was inherent in the grant of
permission to operate in the US that
tbe designated airlines complied
with US law. . .
If at any time the secretary of
state were to consider that tho
application of anti-trust laws
damaged the e s s ential t rading
interests of this country he could
take action under section 1 of the-
Protection of Trading Interests Act
in respect of acts taking place
outside the US.
If and when such action was
taken it might weQ be that an action
by one UK company against
another could not be allowed to
proceed,. for such an action* might
constitute an. attempt to.' obtain
damages for doing that which was
expressly authorized under English
taw.
(5) Accordingly tbe attempt to
prevent Laker from proceeding
and the airline's anti- trust
action had to be allowed to proceed.

LORD JUSTICE WATKINS,
giving the reserved judgment of tbe

the defendants did not appear and
were no frepres ented.
In determining whether the
behaviour of members of a group of
youths, in toe presence of police
officers but no other members ofthe
public, was likely to cause a breach
of the peace, contrary to section S of
toe Public Order Act 1936, as
amended, the possibility had to be
considered of one of them, by his
behaviour, bringing about by
encouragement or incitement a
breach of the peace by others.
The Queen's Bench . Divisional

each of whom was charged, inter
alia, with an offence under section 5
of toe 1936 Act.
Mr Arthur Mildon, QC and Miss
LORD JUSTICE ACKNER said
that the is Marsh vArscott had

In tbe coarse of a reserved

some further gimtgHneg on the
manner in which Mareva appli-
cations, for the f reezi ng of assets in

The court decided to jjrani

• MR JUSTICE "MUSTOi-said’
jtutt -there- $ad been a . rapid' and
sint.** increase in toe number of '
applications for Mareva relipL most
of which ft was fair to assume were
successful
Bat defendants -had with increas-
ing frequency appeared inter panes,
pursuant to the liberty to apply
which always formed prat . of a
Mareva order, often with copious
evidence, applying for an order to be
varied or discharged.
In view of the problems gnrh
applications raised his Lordship had
thought ft useful to adjourn his
ju d g m ent into open court so as to
deal with two issues of principle, as
follows:
First, what probability of success
at the ultimate trial was toe pfainirff
required to demonstrate before an
injunction could proper l y be
granted or maintaine d?
Although the statements .of
Principle in the reported cases were
equally applicable to toe grant of an
injunction - ex parte, and its
maintenance inter partes, in practice
the judge was faced with two wholly
different situations.
At toe ex parte stage, given the
number of applications which had
to be dealt with outride sitting
hours, an- elaborate examination of
toe evidence was generally impracti-
cable:
Yet the damage done by the over-
hasty grant of an injunction mi ght
well, be . irretrievable, since an
application for the discharge of toe
injunction might come too tale to
save * defendant whose liquidity
had been abruptly shutdown.
The cross undertaking in damages
was of no consolation to a company
.which had been mined. Stricter
requirements might be required at
'toe ex parte stagp if the remedy was
- dot 10-bccomc oppressive. '. .
. H» Lordship then referred to 4
npmber of cases, including Pertomi-
QB 644) and ZLtdvA-Z
{The Times December
17; 1981:11982] QB 558), conclud-
ing that the strength of the plaintiff*
case was relevant in two respects:
(1) The pfain tiff must havea
of a certain strength before the
-question of granting Mareva relief
could arise at all (the threshold).
(2) Even vtoere 2 plaintiffs -case
reached the threshold,. fts jttrewg ft ' i
bad to be weighed in the hahinr»»
with other factors relevant to toe
exercise of the discretion.
Regarding the threshold, his
Lordship considered that- toe right
cou r s e 10 adopt was the - test a? a
good arguable case, in the sefise of a-,
case-wirich was more than bandy
capable of serious argument, and yet
not necessarily one which toe judge'
believed to have a better than SO per
cent chance of sbccess.
It was particularly important that-
the couit^ b paid not be drawn into a
premature trial of toe action rather
than a preliminary appraisal of toe
plaintiffs case, especially -where, as
u the present case, toe jarfies had
contracted for a determination by
sibrtratara, whose decision the court
should pot preempt.
The second issue -was: what type
of prejudice fry way of disripatiazurf
assets must the ' *
assess could p roperty be riearned m
await a possible judgment?
('jmmn themes could be-seen to
run through toe cases. It was not
enough for the plaintiff to assert -a
risk that toe assets would be
dissipated. He iwt to. demonst ra te
that by solid evidence.
What form the evidence took
would depend on the particular
cnc unw tancesofthe csac. bath had
to be there. •
Mere proof that toe company was
incorporated abroad, acc om panied
by the allegation that there were no

from those which it was sought to

The night Stokowski left
the Peanut shattered
Hie Saturday before Heartbreak
Thursday was a perfectly ordinary
concert-season Saturday. I mean we
saw the orchestra men that day, we
saw Marshall - and not one of them
said anything. They didn't know,
any more that we did, that our world
was going to end on Thursday. If
they had, they would have warned
us.
It Tuned that Saturday. It was
April but very cold, so when I left
the house alter lunch I was wearing
my old Girl Scout moccasins and
my himbeijacket, and along with the
brown papa- bag with my dinner
sandwiches in it I was carrying my
family’s automobile robe. We were
going to be sitting on line fin - Peanut
Gallery tickets from two in lbe
afternoon till quarter to eight that
night- and it wasn't going to get
warmer as the boors went by.
I took the subway down to Broad
and Walnut and walked the block to
Broad and Locust where the
Academy of Music was. The front
entrance was on Broad Street, but
running from the corner for half a
block along Locust Street dear to the
stage door and the Peanut Gallery
entrance, there was this long step
under a second-storey ledge. .If yon
got on line early, you could sh on
the step and wrap yourself in your
old camp blanket or your family’s
automobile robe, and yon were out
of the wet because of the ledge.
Whereas if yon got on line late - say
around four o'clock - the line would
be clear down to the corner. And
around the corner you had to stand
bolt upright and freeze to death on.
Broad Street, which was the coldest,
widest stre et in the entire city of
Philadelphia.
Looking up Locust Street from
the corner, I could see Fay and
Natalie, by themselves, way up at
the head of the step next to the stage
door. Nobody else was there yet. Fay
and Nat were best friends and they
were always first cm line and I loved
sitting next to them because they
knew Stoki better than the rest of us
did. I walked toward them, past the
big wall posters above the step with
"The Philadelphia Orchestra, Leo-
pold Stokowski, Conductor", and
the week's programme with a
streamer reading "Final Conceits of
the Season" plastered across the
bottom. 1 reached Fay ami Nat and
said hello and Fay said: “His box is
full tonight.”
The biggest speculative advantage
to being first on line was, yon might
get to sit in Stold's box.
His cab drove np to the stage door
at 7.30, 13 minutes before the
Peanut Gallery doors opened. He
would get out of it and stride toward
the stage door and the line would
scream HeUo - (nobody on line was
over 21) - and Stoki would wave
bade. But about every fourth
Saturday, he would glance at the
first people on line and hold up, say,
three fingers. That meant there were
three empty seats in his box for the
concert So the first three people
would get out of line and go around
to the front entrance and inform the
usher with great dignity that they
had been invited to sit in Mr
Stokowski’s box. Then they would
carry their paper bags and coats and
blankets up the grand staircase to
the parquet circle and deposit
themselves in the front seat of
Stoki’s centre box.
At 8.30 his other guests would
arrive, all got up in evening clothes.
One night it was Helen Hayes and
her femily. One night it was an
ambassador home on a visit.
Whoever it was just climbed over
our coats, blankets and handbags
piled on the floor and took the back
seats we left for them. We never
moved for anybody.
By six, it began to rain really hard,
and the second big advantage to-
being first on line paid off Marshall
came out. Marshall Betz was the
orchestra librarian, but along with
looking after the scores, he was a
sort of backstage factotum. He was
red-faced and beeefy and half-bald,
and he glared ferociously before
waving the group of us inside the
stage door with a stubby, brawny
arm.
“Now you go sit in the greenroom
till the house opens”, he bawled at
us. “And behave yourselves!"
We went into the greenroom and
left our handbags and dinner bags
there, and Fay, who always knew
where everything was. borrowed a
backstage flashlight. Carrying our
blankets and coats, we followed her
flashlight up the five pitch-black
flights of stairs to the pitch-black
Peanut Gallery, and then we more
or less felt our way down to the front
row and spread our blankets and
coats across the entire front row of
Stokowski conducts an ontdeor conceit in 1938. He died at his
Hampshire home in 1977 at the age of 95
seats, to save them for friends who
had had to go to the dentist or
shopping with their mothers, and
would get on line hue and wind up
way up at the back under the roof
otherwise.
When we go back to the green
room we made ourselves comfort-
able and had dinner. We were still
silting there at eight, when the
orchestra men began drifting in.
Some of foe first-desk men - tike
Charlie Gusikoff the first trombone,
and WUlie Kincaid, the flautist -
really liked us and they said Hetlo-
how-are-you. The rest of foe men
just looked at us and swore, in a
discouraged fashion. About ten past
eight, some second-violinist turned
to ns and said snappishly: “Do you
raind if I put on my other pants?”
and we left for the Peanut. For 20
minutes we stood scanning the back
of the house and shouting to friends
to come on down, we had seats
saved. Then Stoki walked out to the
podium and the house-lights went
down, and there was nothing alive
on earth but him and the music.
After the concert, we went across
to foe drug-store for milkshakes, to
give Stoki time to shower and
change and go home. Then we went
around to his bouse to serenade
him. He lived at 1716 Ritienhouse
Street, in a three-storey brownstonc
next to a comer parking lot. There
was an art shop on the ground floor
he had the two upper floors. We
would stand in the parking lot.
around at the side under his living-
room windows, and sing. After a
minute, a living-room window
would go up and Stoki would lean
out.
“How many of you are there?" he
would call down, fir there were six or
less, he invited us up. If there were
more than six, he would come down
and sit on the front step and talk to
us. That Saturday night there were
lOor 1 2 of us huddled in the parking
lot when he opened the window.
“How many of you are there?” he
asked. “Six", said Fay.
So of course Stoki said: “Go
round to the front and I'll press the
buzzer". Wc went around to the
front door, and we clambered up the
narrow, rickety steps while Stoki
stood on the landing - his thick
white hair straight up like a beacon
above foe navy shin and slacks be
had changed into - and counted us
with ins fingers and his lips. When
we got to the lop, he said: "Which is
foe sixth?” and we giggled.
“Mind the wires", he said (He
always had tangles of wires on the
landing , he was always experiment-
ing with sound equipment). He led
us into foe living room and threw
cushions on foe floor in a circle for
us to sit on. Then he sat. in a floppy
velvet armchair feeing us, and asked
how we'd liked foe Shostakovich,
and we started to talk. He didn't
talk, he listened. Lounging- in the
chair with his long legs stretched
out, he questioned every one of us
about our reactions to foe Shostako-
vich. his electric blue eyes fastened
on each speaker in turn.
Youth concerts were held every
fourth or fifth week; there were six
of them during foe concert season.
You had to be aged between 13 and
25 to buy a ticket, and foe Acedemy
held 3,000 people - and even -so.
there were always a couple of
hundred kids turned away. None of
us could afford regular concert
prices - $3 downstairs, $2.50 in foe
parquet circle and so on - except for
foe 50 cent seats in foe Peanut Well.
Stoki wanted every kid in town to be
able to afford youth concert tickets,
so he conducted for nothing and foe
orchestra played for nothing, and we
acted as ushers and wrote foe
programme ourselves and sold ads .
in it to pay for foe printing. So youth
concert tickets cost 75 cents
downstairs. 50 cents in foe parquet
circle, 35 cents in foe balcony, 25
cents in the family circle -arid 10
cents in foe Peanut, and a lot of
high-school teachers would slip

could go.

concert. We wanted an explanation.
We waited an hour ua the rain before
he finally -came out We asked him
why he was leaving us, why he was
going to Hollywood, of allplaces.
“We want to take music out of foe
concert hall”, he said, “and give it to
everybody. We have started to do
this by making phonograph records
and giving concerts on the radio.- But
there are countries where people
don’t have electricity in their homes.
They have no rcawd-playere and no

CTIm tinted, Utt
Just a local, violent, deceitful amateur
Mr Neil Macfarlane, foe Minister
for Sport (until June 9 at any rate)
has upset the football fraternity, an
easily moved body, with remarks he
made during a seminar on soccer
disorder at the Centre for Contem-
porary Studies.
Could it be, foe Minister asked,
foal directors’ thuggery and players*
greed were as much a part of soccer
mayhem as spectator violence? So
saying. Mr Macfarlane did not stay
for an answer, but streaked out to try
and get himself reelected for Sutton
and Cheam, and so was gone before
any toilet rods could snake his way
from that pan of the crowd
containing the likes of Mr Kenneth
Bates, the chairman of Chelsea, and
Mr Gordon Taylor, secretary of foe
Professional Footballers’ Associ-
ation. As foe folks at foe Centre for
Contemporaiy Studies like to say,
there is need for further research.
May I suggest, therefore, that if
and when Mr Macfarlane and his
heir or assignee return to foe soccer
question, that a Mr Martyn Bedford
and a Mr John Hyam be sent for?
Let us start with Mr Bedford, who
would be able to speak from the
perspective of a soccer referee who
once was refused his refereeing fee
by a club secretary, Mr Bedford's sin
had been to award a penally to foe
other team five minutes from the
end of foe match - at which point,
Mr Bedford, would point out, the
secretary's team was winning 18-0.
Mr Bedford kicked off thiy soccer
season with an intriguing article in a
bi-weekly local newspaper, lbe South
London Press. In this piece, he
discussed his experience of five
seasons and some 200 matches as a
referee of amateur football. Remark-
ing foal at park soccer level, a club
secretary is also usually a linesman,
Mr Bedford said: “If you ask him io
watch his own forwards, you can be
sure he will never wave his flag
again... and if you tell him to
watch the opposing team’s strikers
he will be miraculously transformed
into an RAF semaphore.” Mr
Bedford makes it clear that in foe
climate of skulduggery that pervades
south London amateur soccer, it
were folly to be otherwise.
He remembers one match where a
. secretary/] inesman altruistically
signalled that one of his own
defenders had failed to scramble the
ball off foe goal-line. Mr Bedford
duly awarded foe goal, whereupon
foe game was delayed “while my
linesman's team chased him across a
neighbouring pitch.” Mr .Bedford. 1
should add. decided to hang up his
whistle after disallowing a goal in a
cup semi-final which led to his being
chased across the pitch by eight
players, whom he escaped only by
locking himself in foe changing
rooms and then clambering out of a
window.
Let us now tum to Mr John
Hyam, who in any future seminar
on soccer disorder will testify that he
was once just such a corner-cutting
club secretary as Mr Bedford
describes. Mr Hyam was moved by
Mr Bedford's memoir to write an
article for a subsequent edition of
foe South London Press entitled
“Confessions of a Crooked Coach”.
Mr Hyam recalls one youth cup
final at which the winning goal was
scored by a player who had never
even seen the side for which he was
playing that very afternoon. He had
been smuggled in from another team
entirely after Radfietd's own top
scorer had been injured. The dub
went on to further glory by winning
an under-15 league game with a side
no member of which would ever see
15 again. The whole side had been
imported from another league.
“That Rad field won hand-
somely." Mr Hyam confessed, “was
only one surprise for foe rival
secretary. He later met most of foe
Rad field “teenagers” in a nearby
pub."" Presumably foe rival wished
he had thought of this wheeze first-
Mr Hyara's evidence would be of
considerable interest in any future
examination of soccer not just
because it confirms - Mr Bedford's
strictures (in spades). The real point
is that Mr H yam's revelations are
based upon ten. years' managerial
poltroonery which began m foe late
1950s - thus placing this particular
soccer disorder firmly in foe days
when foe professional players still
knew their place, which was in- baggy 1
pants, under zip-fastener hair-part-
ings and on. low salaries. -
Where what Mr Bedford and Mr
Hyam would have to say leaves Mr
Macfarlane. I’m not quite sure. The
minister may be right when he
opines that gold fever fuels soccer
madness, but given- what this former
referee and former club Secretary
have to say about what amateur
players and managers will get up to
for free. I'm not so sure.

that they, will still be able to do

In fed yon can search the length
and depth of Labour’s “suicide

find that guarantee. What you win
find is that “we will make sure
that public -borrowing is financed
through the financial institutions
and national savings," and this a
“National, Investment Bank” will
“pm new resources from private
institutions ... on a large scale into
our industrial -priorities”. They
must have burnt the -midnight oil
over that word “pm”.
So where does, all this get us?
WcD. first, whatever 'else exchange
controls might do they would not
stop, foe outflow of money from this
country, nor would they apply to
any other money..
Back in T97& you could not send a

Biamtz without -the -say-so of foe
Bank of England. Yet Denis Healey
had to hitch- a lift from -Heathrow to
the Treasury to catch foe pound

Exchange controls, in short, won’t
stop, the outward stampede of
overseas investors when foe markets
take fright at the performance of a
British government; nor can they do
anything about the propensity of.
imemanonal traders who get foe
wind up to pay bills eariy and delay
foe collection of their debts. All
exchange controls can do - and that
imperfectly in the modem world of
computerized communications and
international banking - is to restrict
foe outward movement of funds in
British ownership.
That in itself of course, is quite
incompatible with a “guarantee” of
unfettered freedom, for the pension
funds to place their money where
they think . they will get foe best
return. But let that pass. What,
happens to the funds they are not
allowed to invest overseas? Are we

There is a more fundamental

have been slashed away. in foreign
parts by British institutions which

jobs at home. For what would have

foe outflow not occurred?
- Over the lifespan of foe late
Parliament we chalked iip a current
account surplus of some £ 13,000m.
if there had not been a qpuntervail-
ing outflow of British m vestment
overseas, then, one of two things
would have had to happen: (a) wc
would have accumulated reserves
(which' would have meant that
instead of private businesses acquir-

return long after North Sea oil has
gone; the Rank of England would
have acquired a lot of US Treasury
bills): or (b) the exchange rate would
have risen to foe point at which
foreigners decided to take their cash
from London.
In neither case would a single
extra, job have been thereby
generated here at home. Indeed, had
the second route been followed, both
exporting and competing with
imported goods for domestic mar-
.kets would have been tougher. It is
foe ultimate irony that foe poli-

Look, no hand-out
Sometimes, picking my way gladly
through foe. variety of., pressing
duties which come between me and
foe typewriter (a plant to water here,
a picture to straighten there) I think
about Anthony Trollope. IfTroflope
didn't invent self-discipline, he
certainly patented it; sitting down to
write at six each morning with, in
front of him, the watch which urged
him to produce 250 words every 15
minutes.
. At 9 JO am. , having .completed his
daily 3,500 words, he got down, to
work - for the Post Office. Trollope,
foe patron of foe pillar' box, -was a
senior civil servant for most of his
adult life and resigned from the
service only in bis fifties, when he
fell out .with the Postmaster General.
.The loss of bis pension, was .no
great hardship.. He. had already
earned a comfortable standard of
living from a celebrated canon of
literary work - without favour of
subsidy, borsary, award, grant or'
even prize money. Trollope, like
most writers before the second half
of the twentieth century, never
imagined 'that his spare- time scrib-
bling was something which required
help from foe state.
1 was thinking again about."
Trollope this week while foe Irish-
Canadian movclist Brian Moore was
visiting Scotland to pick np an ’
unsolicited £3,000 from foe Scottish
Arts Council. Moore - and in no
way do I address my remarks ad
hominem - is foe sixth recipient of
the Nefi Gunn International Fellow-
ship, which is one of the SAC’S more
sensible handouts. - -
The -award is made every two
years partly to honour the memory
of a fine Scottish novelist (Neil
Gunn died shortly .before foe
fellowship was founded in 1972) and
partly to honour and bring to
Scotland writers of international
distinction. Over die decade Hein-
rich Boll, Chinua Achebe, Saul
Bellow, Ruth Praw er JhabvaJa and
Nadine Gordimer have held foe
fellowship and, with varying degrees
of grace, endowed foe Scottish
salons with readings and lectures.
Most have charmingly confessed
that until the award, they had never
read, a word of Neil Gunn, and
hurried to do so. None has yet
admitted they had never heard of
him. Some, like Brian Moore, have
adopted a complimentary - and
conscientious attitude to thof visit.
Others, like Saul Beflow, have
fulfilled the minimum requirement
- the Neil Gunn Lecture - and had
themselves a holiday. .
There is an argument for this
particular piece of taxpayers' patron-
age; or at least as modi of an
argument as exists for sending MPs
on fact-finding missions to Belize or
Botswana. The- exercise discourages
parochialism. But peritaps it should
serve another purpose. -
* Perhaps. . foe importation- • of
successful writers able to support
themselves without artificials aids
should offer a silent lesson to .all
those .British . poets. - playwrights.
novelists, critics and essayists whose
. work is underpinned by foe state
and who seem unaware that most of
foe world’s distinguished writers
pursued their craft on a part-time
basis, and rarely gave up other
employment until their works had
become profitable. -
AH foe great nineteenth century
writers had either full-time jobs or.
like Flaubert, private means to
support *heir efforts. Dickens is foe
supreme example of hectic industry,
at qne time editing four newspapers
while producing his marvellous
fiction on the side. Thomas Hardy
didn't give up his job as architect
until after foe success of Far from
the Madding Crowd, and Zola had
delivered Therese Raquin and a
-body of critksi essays before he
ditched his humble clerical work.
Even poets have worked, often
unglamorqusly. TJS. Eliot was a
- bank official and Philip Larkin is a
librarian. Bui more writers have
probably come out of journalism,
foe universities and teaching than
any other discipline. An academic
life, it is ass tuned, encourages
reflection and provides foe time;
journalism nurtures foe crude skills

HONEST MONEY
Prices have risen by four per cent
in the past twelve months
according, to yesterday’s an-
nouncement. At that rate of
inflation, prices will rise by 50
times in the next hundred years.
A five per cent annual rise would
give us an increase of 130 times
in the same period. Yesterday’s
rise was hailed as an achieve-
ment, which h is entitled to be as
the best figure for fifteen years,
and the best in food prices for
twenty years. However, by
historical standards of price
inflation in this country, a range
of between three and five • per
cent is still very high. Moreover
it is not a case of prices “coming
down”. They are not coming
down. They are still rising. They
are just rising more slowly; so a
four per cent rise, though
encouraging, is still not good
enough.
The election arguments about
inflation seem to have taken
second place to those about
unemployment. That may be for
two reasons. The first is that
inflation is a “blur” word. It is
not the same thin g as rising
prices, which may be caused by
inflationary factors but need not
be. Prices can increase for a
number of reasons. A sustained
rise in prices, however, which is
what we call inflation, is caused
by an increase in the supply of
money beyond the limits
achieved by increases in
production.
The second reason why poli-
ticians do not like to 'discuss
inflation is that it has political
causes, for which they are
responsible. They advocate poli-
cies which they know cannot be
paid for in real money, but have
not the courage or honesty to
admit as much. So they print
dishonest money instead.
It is easier, therefore, to ignore
the necessary discipline of coun-
tering inflation and to focus on-
the pain of curing an inflat ed
enconomy instead. It is easier to
indulge in special pleading for
particular victims, than to admit
responsibility for causing a
condition that, if not cured, leads
to a much more general malaise
afflicting all ages, and all sections
of society, not just those unem-
ployed people who are suffering
the side meets of the cure. The
idea that politicians have a
choice of policy between in-
flation and unemployment is
still peddled widely on election
platforms. The figures for the
past thirty years show that idea
to be as false as the original
deceit.
The Conservatives between
1951 and 1964 presided over an
average a nnual price increase of
3 l h per cent, with an average of
330,000 unemployed. The fig-
ures for Labour 1964-70 were 4'^
per cent: 500,000; for Conserva-
tives 1970-74, 9 per cent:
750,000; for Labour 1974-9, 15
per cent: I km; and for Con-
servatives 1979-83, 12.7 per
cent: 2.1m. That shows that it is
only too possible, indeed inevi-
table, to have rising inflation and
rising unemployment at the
same time. We now have felling
inflation without yet seeing the
evidence of falling unemploy-
ment. Nevertheless there is
economic -evidence of renewed
growth, both in Britain and
overseas. People in work have
also seen their living standards
steadily improve, while overseas,
in spite of an overall decline in
world trade, British exports and
Britain’s share have increased.
One can play about with these
statistics for ever without getting
to the heart of the matter. That is
that no economic system, and
certainly no democratic political
economy, can for long survive
when its currency, on which all
economic activity is based, is
itself unstable. An unstable
currency undermines society.
Without confidence that the
currency will maintain its value,
citizens cannot go about their
business with any certainty. The
future is unpredictable. Houses
cannot be bought and sold with
confidence. Holidays cannot be
planned. Children cannot be
provided for. Savings and
pensions become almost
hallucinations.
These may seem to be only
bourgeois values which are
threatened by such instability.
But it should not be assumed
that the search for a decent
competence is the exclusive
prerogative or ambition of the
middle classes. It is something
which inspires all members of
society. When politicians pursue
policies which undermine a
stable currency they are subvert-
ing all society. It is like loosening
the cement in the brickwork of
an old and precious building.
Rising prices are not just an
abstraction to be argued about
by experts. They hurt us all,
since inflation is a form of
taxation without representation.
It is based on a deceit at the
heart of the body politic. In a
free society that is not just a
question of practicality, as might
be supposed from Listening to the
arguments on the television
screen. It is a question of
morality. Every British banknote
carries the words: “I promise to
pay the bearer on demand. 1 ’ That
promise has been broken as
much to the unemployed as to
those in work. It is time it was
kept
DECOMPRESSION PAINS
Before the military coup of 1 980
Turkey had something like a
two-party system. Political life
was polarized between the con-
servative Justice Party of Mr
Suleyman Demirel and the
social-democratic Republican
People's Party of Mr Bulent
Ecevit But neither was able to
gain an overall majority. Nor
could their leaders agree to work
together. This was one of the
reasons for the paralysis of
government and the descent into
anarchy and bankruptcy which
preceded the coup.
The generals who took power
at that time, having pushed
through their own constitution
and obtained popular ratifi-
cation of it last November, have
now allowed new political par-
ties to be formed in preparation
for elections in November of this
year. The old parties and all their
leaders are banned from politics
for ten years. Four new parties
have been formed under the new
constitution this week, and a
fifth is expected next week.
But already President Evren
and his colleagues are finding
out what so many authoritarian
would-be liberalizers have found
before them, from Louis
Napoleon to Sadat’ liberalization
does not work, indeed does not
mean anything, unless you let
people do what they warn rather
than what you want
Of course no Turk in his
senses wants to go back to the
situation of September 11 1980.
but at the same time many of the
components of that situation,
and among them the RPP and
■ JP, were the expression of
genuine opinions and forces
deeply rooted in Turkish society.
Mr Evren, by virtue of last
November’s vote, is president
for seven years under a consti-
tution which (like the French)
allows the president to appoint
the government but requires that
, the latter enjoy the confidence of
an elected parliament. Such a
system works smoothly only if
there is a strong majority party
seeing eye to eye with the
president on the main lines of
policy. Mr Evren wanted it to be
a centre party led by his former
fellow-general, Mr Turgut
Sun alp. Mr Sunalp was first off
the mark, registering his
Nationalist Democracy Party at
the Interior Ministry on Monday
after a well-publicized meeting
with the President last week. But
even before that party was
officially announced, things were
going on unofficially which i
moved the president to express
his displeasure in strong terms.
Caucuses of former leaders and
members of the old parties were
being held to discuss tactics and
to decide behind which, if any, of
the new parties they would throw
their weight
If the former parties and their
leaders were as thoroughly
discredited with the people as
the regime's rhetoric implies,
such goings on would be of little
significance. Why then was the
president so incensed that he
threatened to postpone the
elections if this sort of thing went
on? Presumably because he
knows or suspects that the old
politicians are still influential
enough to swing votes one way
or the other.
It is generally assumed, for
instance, that without the whis-
pered support of Mr Demirel the
Nationalist Democracy Party
will stand little chance of gaining
popular support. So Mr Demi-
rel’s decision (common know-
ledge, .even though officially
-unmentionable) to sponsor the
rival Grand Turkey Party, foun-
ded yesterday, may prove the
coup de grace to the president's
scheme. Indeed, there is even a
danger that his attempt to
impose a preconceived party
system will actually produce a
more fragmented political spec-
trum than would otherwise be
the case.
Meanwhile universities have
been crippled by a sweeping
ideological purge, a dis-
tinguished editor is in prison for
reprinting an article published
legally twenty years ago, a retired
ambassador feces a long prison
sentence for forming a peace
association and the correspon-
dent of an American news
agency is being refused a pass-
port (having been beaten up in a
police station when he went to
apply for it). None of this
matters very much to the
majority of Turks, who are still
deeply grateful for civil peace
even if many of them have taken
a cut in real wages. The generals
know how to administer martial
law. It is as they advance
towards democracy that they are
going to be embroiled in contra-
dictions.
WHEN THE LAW SUPPOSES
In his Hamlyn lectures this
week. Lord Hail sham called for
fresh thinking about the drafting
and interpretation of statutes.
His timing could hardly have
been better. The tide of judicial
complaints about the difficulty
of understanding modem stat-
utes is rising fast. Last week Lord
Lane, the Lord Chief Justice,
criticized the convoluted state of
the legislation governing driving
offences and pointed out that it
would be very surprising if
judges did not make mi sta k es in
this branch of the law. A few
days previously Lord Diplock,
the senior Law Lord, echoing the
views of Sir . John Donaldson,
Master of the Rolls, criticized the
lack of clarity in the legislation
gove rning industrial relations.
These are serious matters. The
rule of law, which is the
foundation of any parliamentary
democracy, depends not only on
people accepting that they
should obey the law, but also on
their being able to find out what
it is. If even the judges are
having difficulties, there is real
reason for concern.
Can laws be written for the
man in the street? Modern
society is so complex, and the
social policies involved in legis-
lation so finely tuned, that in
most cases this can be no more
than a pipedream. If the dream
were ever to be realized, it would
soon turn out to be a nightmare,
because the laws would have
! been drafted in such' general
terms as to give an unacceptably
wide measure of discretion to the
courts.
How can the present short-
comings of modem legislation be
ovecome? Some of the symp-
toms of the disease are more
easily treated than others. In last
week’s case, for instance. Lord
Lane pointed out that driving
while disqualified involves
considering no less than two
statutes, four sections and three
schedules. One way of remedy-
ing this kind of evil would be by
ensuring, as far as possible; that
where a statute needs to be
amended this is done by re-
enacting the whole statute, or
complete parts of it, m amended
form, so that the rules can all be
read in a single document
Another irritant is our legis-
lators 1 present habit of bringing
different bits and pieces of a
statute (sometimes even differ-
ent parts of the same section)
into force at different dates, none
of which are specified in the
statute itself.
The fundamental problem is,
however, much more intractable.
It is the style of legislative
drafting itself Statutes have
become too long, too detailed
and too turgid. Sometimes the
gobbledy-gook is so extreme that
examples are published in the
press for readers' entertainment.
They are hot so amusing,
however, for those who have to
understand the law, and ' for
those whose every-day decisions
depend on its meaning.
To some extent the judges
must share responsibility with
the draftsmen for the unsatisfac-
tory style of modem legislation.
They have in the past tended
from time to time to adopt an
over-literal enterpretation of the
words of a statute, sometimes at
the expense of its purpose. This
has led the draftsmen to draft in
ever-increasing detail, to cover
every possible contingency, for
fear that otherwise foe courts
will declare that something
which was plainly intended to be
included in the statute has been
left out If there is to be a change
in legislative style,, the draftsmen
will need the full cooperation of
the courts.
What seems to be needed is
some movement on both fronts:
(a) a broader style of legislative
drafting on die one hand, and
(b) a somewhat more purposive
approach to statutory, interpret-
ation by the courts. As Lord
Hailsham has pointed outin the
present jungle of statute law it
would be an imprudent judge
who did not take into, account
the m a in ' legislative purpose of
an Act, and the political and
social context in which it was
passed. It is probably inevitable
that greater simplicity in legislat-
ive drafting will confer a greater
discretion on the courts in
mtepreting statutes, but there is
no alternative if the law is to
remain accessible to the people.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Television’srolein
the election
From Dr Brian Harrison
Sir, I wonder whether you are right
to say (May IS} that the party
leaders* presidential or “personal-
ised” general election campaign
dates only from 1959 and originates
with television? It was prime
ministerial success in war that
enabled Palmerston, Lloyd George
and Churchill to dominate the
general elections of 1857, 1918, and
1945. respectively, and it was
campaigning zeal plus an exciting
issue that elevated Gladstone to
such heights in 1868 and 1 886.
And, as Joseph Chamberlain in
1900 and Lloyd George in January,
1910 show, one does not even need
to be a party leader to gain such
prominence. Indeed, a party leader
may sometimes think it best to
advertise his “team" at an election,
as Harold Wilson did in October
1974. Some elections - 1895, 1906
and October, 1974 - have not been
presidential at aU.
Of course television capitalises on
political excitements, but it is only
the latest among several media
developments whose political im-
pact has been exaggerated: radio, the
popular press and the public
meeting all provoked similar com-
ment in their day.
Much more important than any
linear and technological trend as an
influence on campaigning style is
surely the more fluctuating impact
made by the combination of
personality, policy and circumstance
- whereby the poKtican applies his
traditional skills to the mind of the
voter.
In 1868 this combination proved
the salvation of one bad speaker,
according to Bagehot the candidate,
when asked to explain his success,
replied “oh, when I do not know
what to say, I say ’Gladstone’, and
they are sure to cheer, and I have
time to think".
Yours faithfully.

Press reports on Israeli war conduct
Holding the line
From Mr Stanley Lees
Sir, I am pleased that Mr. Gower
(May 16) has drawn attention to
British Rail's plan to quietly close
the spectacular Car lisle-Settle line,
probably within 18 months. The
official reason is that the magnifi-
cent 24-arch Ribblehead viaduct is
now structurally unsafe and four
trains daily do not justify the
restoration costs. The unofficial
reason suggests a policy of planned
neglect
As far back as 1967 BR knew
from survey reports that the viaduct
needed restoration. Instead of
starting while the project was of
manageable size, the decision was
made to quietly run the line down,
culminating in the withdrawal of the
direct passenger service between the
west of Scotland and the north
Midlands.
The long-term strategy must be to
develop the line as a revenue earner
for the area. There are several
private steam railway companies in
the north who require to redefine
their role. Instead of being custod-
ians of railway heritage, they need to
come together in an entrepreneurial
way to work the line. The experience
of the Ffestiniog railway shows what
can be done.
If these bodies can unite with
some local authority support the
prospects of preserving a unique
piece of history are good. It is asking
a lot from voluntary bodies, but they
start off with an asset far richer than
money - staff committed to the
organization and believing in what
they do.
That is something which cannot
be claimed by our most profitable
institutions, or British Rail.
Yours faithfully,

The Denver Boot
From Mr Roderick Parker
Sir, Motorists in London who park
illegally now risk having then cars
immobilized by the police with
wheel clamps. Necessary although it
no doubt is to further deter
offenders, I wonder if it is the best
approach. Apart from the sheer time
involved for the traffic wardens and
police in attaching (and one hopes
eventually removing) the clamps,
there is a veritable array of
accompanying paraphernalia, in-
cluding special “Clamp Unit” police
vans, specially printed stickere for
the offenders’ windscreens etc.
Before this vastly expensive
exercise is repeated across the
country, would it not be better to
look into l in k i ng the payment of
parking fines with the road fund tax
computet?
Switzerland has done this for
years. No road fend tax disc for next
year until you have paid all
outstanding fines — very sim ple
very effective.
Yours faithfully,
RODERICK PARKER,

May 16.
From MrD. A. R. Williams
Sir, l a my simple way, I had
assumed that lhe purpose of parking
restrictions was to prevent obstruc-
tion of the highway.
As parking fines seem to mean
little to so many, can someone tell
me how the interests of the public
are served by ensuring that an
obstruction remains is place?

May 18.
From Mr William Frankel
Sir, .As the source of the words you
quote in your leader, “Friends
beyond the need”, (May 161, 1 hope
you will permit me to comment on
the selective quotation and the
polemic you construct on that
foundation.
The context of the quoted phrase
is important. What I said, in
opening the symposium on “The
media and the Lebanon war" of the
Institute of Jewish Affairs, was:
No other event since the creation of the
State of Israel has so exercised the
consciousness of Jews throughout the
world as the war m Lebanon. Various
opinions are held as to its necessity and
the manner in which it was conducted.
But on one issue there is virtual
unanimity and that is that Israeli actions
were vilified and distorted by the
Western media: that the case for Israel
was not presented at all or misrep-
resented.
[ fail to see any grounds for
inferring from these words, as docs
>our leader, that I am an apologist
for the Begin government. In fact, I
have opposed many of its policies,
as reference to a number of articles 1
contributed to your columns
between 1977 and 1981 will
confirm. It is surely contrary to your
own normal standards of discussion
to attempt to deflect criticism by
impugning the bona tides of the
critic.
M the symposium strong criti-
cism of your coverage of the
Lebanon war was expressed. Rather
than replying to any of the specific
criticisms that have been made, your
leader casts aspersions on those who
have made them.
Your leader writer seeks to justify
your coverage of the Lebanon war
by claiming that similar criticisms
were published in the Hebrew press.
The justifiable and informed criti-
cism in those newspapers ought not
to be employed as a white sheet to
cover some of your own reports and
comments which were neither.
Regrettably, the tone and language
of your leader compound the earlier
offences. It is false, irresponsible,
prejudicial and highly offensive to
describe Jewish critics of the media
as “expatriates". It reveals perhaps
more than was intended that this
term should be applied to a group of
British citizens.
Your comment that “Israel's
apologists in the WesL f i.e.. the
critics of your Lebanon coverage)
suggest that it was Israel which was a
greater victim than the thousands of
innocents who died” is also
unwarranted. Nothing remotely
resembling this suggestion was
uttered at the symposium, nor am 1
aware of its expression by any
responsible Israeli or Jewish source.
It grieves me lo write in this
fashion to a great newspaper with
which I felt privileged to have been
associated. But I cannot refrain from
responding to a statement of
editorial opinion which departs so
seriously from accepted standards of
journalism and constitutes, lo apply
your own words, “a collective slur'*
on the majority of the Anglo-Jewish
community.

From Dr A. I. Miles
Sir. Writing as an expatriate and the
director of an intensive care unit in
an Israeli hospital during the war in
Lebanon, I must disagree with your
editorial (May 16) defending your
Beirut reporter's coverage of that
event.
I. too. did not agree with that war.
I despise Sharon and his policies and
I know at first hand that war is a
terrible thing. On the other hand, to
report the Lebanese conflict simply
from fee point of view of fee
casualties and destruction brought
about by the Israeli aggression
without reference to fee antecedent
history, blurring the fact that
Lebanon and Beirut had been
devastated and raped for years prior
to fee Israeli invasion by fee PLO
was deplorable.
Deliberately to use descriptive
terminology previously reserved for
Nazi atrocities, was to display a
prejudice which I found deeply
offensive.
Repeatedly and sickeningiy to
describe fee Sabra and Sbaatila
massacre as though it were commit-
ted by Israelis, when fee perpetu-
ators are Arabs still running free in
Gemayel’s Beirut was not only
dishonourable but also a clear
incitement to racial hatred in this
country, against those British citi-
zens you have chosen to call
"expatriates”.*
Sincerely.

Naturalization cost
From Mr Roy Tindle
Sir. The All-Party Home Affairs
Committee have recommended cuts
in fee level of fees charged for
naturalization and for registration
for British citizenship. They have
observed feat the Home Office
stands to make a profit of £6m
through the charges currently made.
There is a justifiable assumption
feat the making of profits is hardly
relevant to such an activity and that
costs should not be a deterrent to
those who wish to become British.
For those in full employment,
earning reasonable salaries, perhaps
the charges may be regarded as
reasonable. However, fee ethnic
minority groups from whom such
applications will come, are suffering
more greatly than most from
unemployment. There is no sup-
plementary benefit payment made
to such people for this expense. The
issue is compounded when one
considers fee plight of refugees. By
fee act of fleeing their country of
nationality they have become
stateless wife all fee connotations of
insecurity feat that word involves.
Consider fee 16,000 refugees feat
were admitted to this country from
Vietnam. These people were granted
resettlement status in Britain; feat
is. it was deemed that they would
have no opportunity of returning to
Vietnam and therefore they have
been allowed to remain in Britain
for an indefinite period. Yet when I
asked fee Home Office about fee
possibility of free acquisition of
citizenship 1 was told feat this would
be too cosily and feat it would
occasion an increase in charges to
other applicants.
Statelessness should be abhorrent
to any civilized community. If
people are to remain in Britain
indefinitely what reason can there be
for denying them a simple guarantee
of security? Perhaps this recent
report and the forthcoming general
election may give cause to our
elected representatives to think
again.
Yours faithfully,

Labour Party unity
From Mr John Chapman
Sir, James Curran’s article, “The
message Foot must get across” (The
Times. May 11) contains certain
inaccuracies. Mr Curran asserts that
“since late last summer, Tony Bean
has been urging party unity io
anyone who will hslea," and goes on
to allege feat “the principal grass-
roots organization of fee left fee
Campaign for Labour Party Democ-
racy, belatedly followed Benn’s lead
and has pressed for an honourable
peace since last October."
To set fee. record straight: The
party unity initiative was first
proposed by CLPD's Secretary,
Vladimir Derer, to fee 198) CLPD
annual general meeting. He was
backed by the majority of fee
retiring CLPD executive committee.
Vla dimir Derer stated: “Most
Labour supporters and members are
aware of fee dangers of disunity to
fee party’s electoral prospects*, they
realise feat any Labour government
is preferable to continued Conserva-
tive rule. For this reason they are
anxious to see the re-establishment
of a degree of party unity which
would make Labour a credible
alternative to fee Tories."
He further argued feat “it is
important that those who fought for
constitutional reform should be the
ones to initiate moves that would
make unity possible."
Nearly all of Tony Benn's closest
associates in CLPD opposed this
proposal and helped to vote it down.
Having forced CLPD to shelve
party unity for 12 months, these
Benn supporters launched a cam-
paign in the left designed to discredit
Vladimir Derer and those who
shared his views.
It is true feat Tony Benn urged
unity later at fringe meetings at fee
1 982 Labour Party Conference.
However, when the retiring CLPD
executive committee submitted fee
proposal for party unity to the 1982
agm, those who bad the personal
nomination of Tony Benn for fee
new CLPD EC opposed it.

Sound and fury
From Brigadier Sir Gilbert Heath cote
Sir, Why is nothing being done to
control the increasingly intrusive
noise from motorcycles? Often it
seems they are ridden with fee sole
purpose of making as much as
possible.
Not long ago the country was up
in arms about two or three daily
flights by Concorde; more recently
Parliament’s time has been taken up
with the effects of larger lorries on
our roads. But anyone living near a
main road, as well as your columnist
Joanna Lumley (May 4) will agree
that neither of these cause as much
irritation or discomfort as fee
vicious blare of a hard-ndden
motorcycle. . . . .
The contrast is heightened when
one knows that the former are going
about their business whereas fee
single rider howling through his
ceare, often late at night, seems bent
only on making his presence felt
How well he succeeds!
There are laws about creating a
nuisance and others about pollution
and surely noise in this form is
pollution at its worst There arc
methods of measuring noise levels.
There is also evidence in your own
pages (December 8. 1982) of fee
damaging effect of heavy traffic
noise on hypertension.
Surely it is time feat fee Minister
of Transport devised a means of
testing and controlling fee exhaust
noise of fee motorcycle engine?

Hooked on the fly
From Mr John Hewish
Sir. Before a new myth is created,
may I counter Stewart Tendlcr
(“Saturday", May 14) that fly fishing
was “once fee sport of (he few”. In
the West Country, Wales and
Scotland (many regions in the
North, too) any boy with a few
shillings for his first split-cane rod
and a friendly neighbouring farmer
could fly fish for brown trout
No doubt fishing on dreary
reservoirs for soggy form-bred
rainbows is fast becoming the sport
of the many, alas!
Yours faithfully,

Paying for air
travel injury
From Mr Bernard Wood
Sir, Expressed more simply. Pro-
fessor Bin Cheng’s view (May 19) is
fet fee liability of an airline should
be absolute and unlimited, regard-
less not only of whether it was at
fault but regardless also of whether,
someone else was a fault. This is not
a proposition feat is appealing to the
airiines.
Whilst the idea of “channelling
liability to fee operator may be
appropriate in very special circum-
stances, such as in fee case of fee
manufacture of nuclear energy, it is
not so in relation to air carriage,
where other indentifiable parties,
such as manufacturers, air traffic-
control authorities and operators of
other aircraft, against whom rights
of recourse would not necessarily be
available, might be responsible for
fee damage suffered.
Although British airlines and
regulatory authorities have led the
way in voluntarily accepting higher
levels of compensation than those
provided for in fee Warsaw/Haguc
system fee concept of “airiine-shop;
ping" on fee basis of fee “best buy"
in this respect is questionable. There
is far more merit in constructing an
international system of liability
which is comprehensive, consistent
and reasonably fair in its impact on
passengers and operators alike.
On April 18, 1983, fee Ix^al
Committee of ICAO (International
Civil Aviation Organization)
adopted a resolution (by 34 votes in
favour and none against) which,
while recognising the benefits that
had been derived from fee Warsaw -
/Hague system, strongly urged all
member stales to ratify the “Mon-
treal protocols", which modernise
and simplify fee system and raise
fee levels of financial liability.
The British Government and
British airlines have keenly sup-
ported these proposals. Although
they have faced determined oppo-
sition in fee United States, princi-
pally from a very articulate pressure
group within fee legal profession,
there is every reason to hope that
they will be introduced widely
throughout the rest of fee world.
Yours faithfully,
BERNARD WOOD.

From Mr J. W. Woloniecki
Sir. Professor Cheng (May 19) may
well be right in saying that a system
of liability without fault to compen-
sate passengers for injuries sustained
in air travel would save the airlines
money in fee long run. However. I
doubt if it would save the passengers
money.
Airlines, even I like lo think in
my innocence. British Airways, arc
in business to make a profit The
costs of higher compensation and of
making provision for liability
without fault would inevitably be
passed on to the passenger ip the
form of higher fores. At present the
intending passenger is free to
choose: be can pay for his own
insurance, or pay more lo “fly fee
flag”, or he can take the chance of
recovering too little, or nothing in
the event of an accident.

John XXIII and Pentecost’s spirit
Twenty years ago, throughout
Eastertide, Pope John XXIII lay
dying. His bed had become, as
he put it, an altar. He lasted
until Whit Monday, June 3,
1963. when he died at 3.43 pm.
It is rather strange to notice
how holy people die on an
appropriate feast-day: Teilhard
de Chardin on Easter Sunday;
Paul VI on the Transfiguration;
John at Whitsuntide. One
theory is that, having reached
their favourite feast, they “let go
in the Lord" and so, in a sense,
choose their death-day.
In Pope John’s life and
spirituality Pentecost was the
central feast because, as every
preacher says, it is the birthday
of the church. In his retreat in
Istanbul in 1940 Archbishop
RoncaHi, as be then was, quotes
this sentence of St Robert
Bellanninc: “Among those
things which have been' re-
vealed to us, we have hardly
Ipythmg greater, or from which
we - may better discover the
greatness of God . . . than ' the
founding of the church."
But his sense of file ceentrali-
ty of Pentecost reaches much
farther . back, .in fact to his
seminary days. On the eve of
Pentecost in 1 899 he was
chosen to deliver a homily on
the theme of “Mary in the
Upper Room”. He began: “This
place, the seminary, which
invites us to prayer and study,
becomes the upper room itself.
We who live here are the new
apostles who, renewing the
miracles of the first Pentecost,
will bring back the scattered
flock to the sweet embrace of
the Good Shepherd, Jesus."
It was no more than a
stylistic exercise, a dummy run,
not meant for outriders. But
already at 18 he secs apostolic
work as “renewing the miracles
of the first Pentecost". That was
to be his prayer for the council
60 years later. “Renew thy
wonders in this day, as by a new
Pentecost".
So it was not in the least
surprising that he should use
each Whit Sunday between
1959 and 1961 to announce the
next stage of the preparatory
work for the Second Vatican
Council. He believed that since
the Holy Spirit had brought it
into being, the Holy Spirit
would preside over its unfold-
ing. “It is”, he said, “from the
spirit and doctrine of Pentecost
that the great event of the
Ecumenical Council takes its
substance and its life.”
Pope John, of course, got his
idea of the church as the
perennial Pentecost from tra-
dition. A more immediate
source of inspiration was the
I t alia n nineteenth-century
writer. Alessandro Manzoni,
best known for his novel The
Betrothed. But Manzoni also'
wrote poems, and Pope John's
favourite was the one about
Pentecost. It is all about the
“renewing ■ Spirit" who con-
stantly “rejuvenates” the
church.
An old man himself, he
shared Manzoni's prayer that
the Holy Spirit might “temper
the confident talent of impetu-
ous youth” (Hans KOng per-
haps?) and “adorn the white
hairs of those who seek
holiness" (maybe himself?).
Manzoni filled out the doctrine
of Pentecost for him, turned
what tends to lade into an
abstraction into a vision, a
practical utopia.
Living for 20 years among the
Orthodox Christians in the East
also helped him to appreciate
Pentecost. The Holy Spirit is at
the heart of Orthodox theology
and piety.
In 1944. the darkest year of
the war, in his cathedral of the
Holy Spirit in IstanbuL he
preached on “the grandeur of
the perennial Christian Pente-
cost, as feet and doctrine”. His
congregation was a mixed bag
of Greeks and Armenians,
Syrians, Germans, Italians,
Vichy and Gaullist French.
Thinking of that beleagured
and divided community he
said: “We like to stress the
differences with those who do
not profess our faith; the
Orthodox brothers. Protestants,
Jews,. Moslims, believers and
non-believers”.
1 Bui, he went on, too much
emphasis on one's own religious
or national tradition turns the
world into “one of those iron-
age villages where every house
is a fortress, and people have to
live, among their ramparts and
fortifications".
In 1983, as in 1944; the image
remains as vivid and applicable
as ever. But Christians, he said,
could not rest content with iron-
age surliness. “In the light of the
Gospel and the Catholic 'prin-
ciple, this is felse logic. Christ
came to break down those
barriers. The central point of his
teaching is charity, that is the
love which binds us to him. the
first born of many brothers”.
It is not difficult to see that
everything John tried to do as
Pope was already implicitly
contained in the 1944 sermon in
IstabnL There are those who say
he was a naive holy old man,
who did not really know what
be was doing. Don't believe a
word of iL
He had a vast experience of
different people and a deep
knowledge of Christian tra-
dition. not as the dead hand of
the past but as something living
and vibrant. He drew upon it to
state the simple but far reaching
principle: when we say that
Pentecost is the birthday of the
church, we mean that 1 it is the
feast of brotherhood in the ever-
present, ever-active Holy Spirit.
And the Spirit brinj^ that
quality called in Acts parrhesia,
courage in speaking out.

OBITUARY
DR EUOT SLATER
Eminent psychiatrist of
wide interests
Dr Eliot Slater, CBE, one. of
the most eminent of British
psychiatrists, died of a heart
attack on. May IS at the age of
78. The rigorous standards of
his research, 'and fire high
quality of his textbooks, greatly
-influenced the post-war devel-
opment of psychiatry in Britain
and other countries. .
Eliot Trevor Oakeshott Staler
was born on August 28, 1904.
His father, Gilbert, was at one
time profe ss or of economics at
Madras; his mother (n£e Oake-
shott) was a Quaker. He was
educated : at Leighton Park
School, Cambridge University
and . St . George’s Hospital,
London. First interested in
neurology, he saw the need for a
neurologist -to have psychiatric
experience and in- 1931 joined
the staff of the Mandsley
Hospital, taking leave to study
psychiatric genetics in Munich,
Berlin and Sweden. -
At the outbreak of the Second
Worid War he became clinical
director at Sutton Emergency
Hospital. His experiences of
acute' ' psychiatric casualties
there led to the publication of
Physical Methods of Treatment
in Psychiatry (with William
Sargant), a book which, by
outlining the value of short and
.simple treatments, ’gave great
encouragement to a new gener-
ation of psychiatrists. ..
After the war, Slater became
Physician in Psychological
Medicine at the National
Hospital, Queen . Square. He
was there from 1946 to 1964,
but his psychiatric interests
were now dominant. Psychotic
and Neurotic Illnesses in Twins
(with James Shields, 1953)
established him as a world
authority - on psychiatric gen-
etics. His textbook Clinical
Psychiatry (with W..- Mayer-
Gross and Martin Roth),
written in the clearest style,
provided, a _ common-sense
empirical account of mental
disorders, in marked contrast to
tire psychodynamic schools.
Now m- its fourth edition, it is
still widely read and has been
translated into many languages.
‘ Slater bad hoped to bead a
new academic department of
psychiatry at the National and
was much disappointed when
the plan was rejected by the
other senior staff But his
resignation from that hospital
gave more time for other
interests. From 1961 to 1972 he
was editor of the British Journal
qf Psychiatry which grew to
become one’ of the world's most
respected psychiatric journals.
Slater was director of the
Medical Research Council Psy-
chiatric Genetics Unit at the
Maudsley Hospital from 1959
to his retirement. , The Genetics
of Mental Disorders (with
Vakrrie -Cowie) appealed in
1971, and he made important
contributions to tire study of
delinquency, hysteria, and the
relation between schizophrenia
and epilepsy. Many distinctions
came his way. He was a
member of the- Royal Com-
mission on Capital Punishment
(1949) and was Maudsley
Lecturer in i960. In 1966 he
was appointed GSJS. A selec-
tion of his writing, together
with an autobiographical
sketch, was publi shed' in 1971 as
Mind. Matter and Heredity.
' Slater was a polymath, with
interests for beyond his pro-.
Sessional concerns. A trustee of
the, Shakespearean Authorship
Trust, he was awarded -a PhJ>
degree for thesis (done after his
retirement) era a .statistical
word-study, of the authorship, of
foe play Edward in. He made a.
statistical* study of chess open-,
logs, ■ published a. volume of;
poems and had ah-exhibition of
his paintings. '•
Essentially a biologist, he
became occupied with nature'
conservation. But although he
saw man as one of the animals,
he had a Quaker's sense of
human worth; -and, as a
member of die Euthanasia
Society, was concerned . to
promote the idea that people-
should be allowed lo die with
dignity r for he had learnt from
his parents, her said; to see death
as a friend and deliverer.
• Slater’s first, marriage was to
Lydia Pasternak, -whom he met
in Munich- in 1934; they had
four chUdren.-The marriage was
dissolved; he is survived, by his
second wife, Jean.
ALFRED FABRE-LUCE
Alfred F&bre-Luce, the right-
wing writer and controversia-
list, died in Paris on May 17,
the day after his 84th birthday.
A supporter of Marshal Pi tain,
and a consistent opponent of
General de Gaulle, he gave
eloquent and highly individual
expression to a constant current
in French intellectual life.
Bom in Paris in 1899, the son
of a prosperous banker, Fafare-
Luce came from the traditional
French, haut-bourgeois Right.
He was briefly a diplomat, but
spend most of his long working
life . as a journalist, essayist,
polemicist, and writer of more
than 40 books.
The first volume of his
Journal de la France (1941) was
an apology for Pdtain, whom he
saw as the saviour of France’s
honour - and of her well-being
- under the Nazi occupation.
But he was never really pro-
German and in the second
volume (1943) he came to fire
defence of France’s Jews,
criticizing Vichy’s anti-semitic
laws as. well as the German
seizure of the unoccupied zone
of southern France. For this he
was briefly imprisoned by the
Germans.
At the Liberation, his well
known Pfetainist sympathies
won him a longer spell in j ail,
this time for collaboration. His
dislike of de Gaulle, dating from
1940, later flowered into a
passionate hatred which he
expressed in an incisively
vitriolic literary style. His book
Haute Cow (1962) was a
political novella in which de
Gaulle went on trial for treason
and an abuse of his powers as
President. The book was seized
by the police - it is still banned
in France to this day - and
Fabre-Luce himself went on
trial for it, on the charge of
“insulting the Head of State”.
He was round guilty and fined a
nominal 1,500 francs; he then
announced that he would burn
the book on the Piflic de la.
Concorde, pout liquor over it
and try to eat it
Hostile to de Gaulle's policy
of granting freedom to Algeria,
Fabre-Luce wrote two books
defending the cause of Algiri
Francois. For all this, he was
no conventional right wing
figure. During the May, 1968
uprising he expressed support
for the left-wing radical, Pierre
MendCs- France, another
staunch opponent of the
General. Later in the 1970s he
rallied to President Giscard
d’Estaing, to . whom he was
distantly related by marriage.
Fabre-Luce wrote several well
known biographies, of Talley-
rand and D. H. Lawrence,
among others, and books that
pleaded various humanist and
libertarian causes including
voluntary euthanasia. He was
quirky and wilful provocative,
yet patently sincere in his
crusades for individual liberty.
Urbane and cultivated, for
more than 60 years he was an
assiduous frequenter of the
smart salons of the Parisian
beau monde.
He leaves a widow nee
Charlotte de Faucigny-Lucinge,
and two children.
DR PRIDI PHANOMYONG
Sir Andrew Gilchrist writes:
. May someone who knew Nai
Pridi (sometimes known as Dr
Pridi Phanomyoog) for nearly
50 years add a few words to
your obituary notice of this
remarkable but unfortunate
Thai statesman.
Pridi was a sincere democrat
and was never in any doubt
where the best exemplar of
democracy was to be found. His
pro-British stand during the war
is well-known, but It should be
remembered that even before
the war he had been made
G.GM.G. by . the British
Government, a recognition of
the civilized way in which, as
Foreign Minister, he had nego-
tiated the termination of the
extra-territorial rights in Thai-
land which Britain still enjoyed.
From the outset of fire Far
Eastern war, Pridi began to plan
against the Japanese invaders,
using the designedly innocuous
Regency post to which he had
been appointed by his rival,
Held Marshal PibuL as a base
for a wide-ranging resistance
movement. Contact with this
resistance movement was estab-
lished first by British and then
by American secret para-mili-
tary organizations, . with the
threads running back to SEAC
in Kandy. As Mountbatten
himself put it “It was a unique
relationship because a Supreme
Allied Commander was ex-
changing vital military plane
with the head of a State
technically at war with us
He never fruled us.”
Thus it was that Thailand,
which under Pibul had entered
the war on the wrong side,
emerged from it under Pridi on
the right side, a factor of
enonnous importance in the
progress of oreiered prosperity
on which Thailand now em-
barked.
But it did so without Pridi,
and not invariably by paths
which Pridi would have chosen.
His enduring contribution to
That history had been made.
Pridi was overthrown by
domestic adversaries when he
was on the peak of his powers.
His long exile first in China and
then in France began when he
was 48, and he was S3 when he
died. Though it was natural that
he should regret lost oppor-
tunities, he was never embit-
tered, securely confident that
his name and his ideals .would
not be forgotten in the country
of his birth.
In times of turbulence and
danger, Pridi showed himself
both a brave and a gentle man;
and his widow Phoonsuk is
a woman whose qualities
matched his own.
Sir Norman James Watson,
Bl, who died on May 19, at the
age of 86 was the second holder
of tbe baronetcy created in
1912. In the First World War he
joined the King’s Royal Rifle
Corps, was attached to the RAF
and served in France; in the
Second World War he was again,
with the 1 RAF is the Volunteer
Reserve.
A Fellow of the Royal ■
Geographical Society, in 1934
he organized an expedition in
British Columbia to traverse,
using skis, the greatest group in
the coastzange, the W*
massif, about 200 miles
Vancouver. Hb other main
interests included aviation and
forming, and he was for many
years chairman qf an aircraft
rtlftnnfhftfnring company at
Heston.
MR KENNETH
PONTING
Authority on
wool
Mr Kenneth Ponting who
died on holiday in Spam on
May 12 was a foremost
authority on the history ofQK
.of the country’s oldest indus-
tries, woollen textiles. He had
the unusual advantage
combining scholarly standards
with a long practical experience
in industry.
He was born in January,
1913. in Trowbridge where ms
father had an interest in the
firm of Samuel Sailer Ltd. After
starting in their mill he became.
in turn, .dyer, desi gn er, and
managing director. Meanwhile
he had also pursued his
historical interests to tbe extent
of writing his History of the
West of England Cloth Industry’
and the Wool Trade Past and
Present. After the takeover of
the firm in 1965 he retired from
business and in 1968 b ec a m e
Director of the Fasoid Research
Fund which bad been set up by
■Eric Pasold to promote work on
the history of textiles.
For 15 years Ponting ran the
Fund, almost single-handedly,
with a skill, enthusiasm and
'‘dedication which excited the
admiration of all who knew
, trim. Many people did know
him for he became the authority
to whom all turned for advice
on the historical techniques and
practices of the woollen indus-
try. He travelled and lectured
widely; was joint-editor of
Textile ' History, and wrote
numerous articles and books
including Leonardo Da Vinci's
Drawings of Textile Machines
.and (with D. T. Jenkins) The
British Wool Textile Industry,
1770-1914.
He also found time to write a
dissertation which won him the
M.Litt degree from the Univer-
sity of BristoL Yet wool was by
no means his only interest He
enjoyed good food and wine (on
which he was knowledgablc
■without being a wine bore); was
an - expert on the history of lawn
tennis (in his youth he had been
an above-average player); and
his babbling conversation was
as. likely to turn to poetry or
parish churches or historic
houses as to wool-spinning or
knitting frames. With his wife,
Isobel, he was a delightful host

and, more recently, in Bath.
MR J. S. MAYFIELD
Mr John 5. Mayfield, a noted
book collector, author and
librarian, died at Bethesda,
Maryland, on April 26 aAer a
brief illness.
Mayfield was known in this
country as well as in file United
States both as a collector of
books and manuscripts and as
one of the most knowledgeable
men in the field of 19th and
20th century English and
American literature. At tbe time
of his death he had not only
farmed the greatest private
collection of books and man-
uscripts by and about the poet
Algernon Charles Swinburne,
.but was widely acknowledged as
an authority on Swinburne’s life
and works, about which he
published a stream of articles
over a period of about 30 years.
Mayfield's devotion to the
poet was of mythic proportions.
In October, 1977, he announced
the acquisition of his 101st copy
of the first edition of Swin-
burne's Atlanta in Calydon, an
enterprise undertaken in order
to disprove the statement of
Thomas J. Wise, a notorious
bibliographer, in his bibli-
ography of Swinburne, that of
the first edition only 100 were
printed. Not for Mayfield the
pedestrian compilation of a
census! He was also wont to
send his friends in the Swin-
burne faith presents such as
Tee-shirts primed ^Swinburne
Still _ Lives”, or jig-saw puzzles
bearing the poet's well-known
features.
As a collector Mayfield was
distinguished by his unfailing
courtesy and helpfulness 10
scholars, whether learned edi-
tors or enthusiastic undergrad-
uates. His collecting career was
dominated by the belief that
books and -manuscripts were the
raw materials of scholarship,
not nuggets lo be hoarded; In
recent years he was quoted
often in the press in the United
States as an opponent of the
concept of collecting for invest-
ment, a practice he deemed
restricted to “avaricious idiots".
Several institutions both in
this country and in America,
among them the British
Library, were indebted to
Mayfield, for his donations of
books and manuscripts. He was
an active member of tbe Grolicr
Club in New York, of the
Rowfent Club in Cleveland,
Ohio, and of the Authors’ Club
in Washington, D.C He was a
founding member of the Man-
uscript Society in 1948, and was
a long-time member of the
Bibliographical Society of
America.
Mayfield was born in Merid-
Bosque County, Texas, in
1904, and was educated at the
University of Texas and Sou-
tlrem Methodist University
After service in the Navy during
the Second World War hi
« tMn »* * foe Civil Service.
From 1961 until his retirement
m .1971 he was Curator of
Manuscripts and Rare Books at
Syracuse University, where he
was aboednor ofthe Courier , a

;MayfieUi is survived by his

interests, and oftin ac-
companied him .on his literary

21-27 MAY 1983 A WEEKLY GUIDE TO LEISURE, ENTERTAINMENT AND THE ARTS
From wildly exotic
to extraordinari ly
ordinary, the Chelsea
Flower Show is the
supreme exhibition
of plant life.
’s darling buds of May
. _ MBwAtwrwns
Anthony Hnxley, a
veteran of the event,
previews next week's
sixty-second show
The Chelsea Flower Show is
one of the great institutions and
pleasures of the Engii^ year.
More than thirty annual attend-
ances have turned it into a kind
of impressionistic tableau in my
mind, but 1 can still recall some
of my feelings on my very first
visit
In 1949. 1 had just joined the
staff of the weekly magazine
Amateur Gardening and I knew
something about the plants and
gardening but virtually nothing
about the horticultural industry.
In May. the editor marshalled
his leant each of whom was to
write up a section of the show. I
was very apprehensive and
totally unprepared for its
magnitude, the great double row
of various stands that greets the '
visitor at the main entrance, the
vast marquee around the
corner, and what was within iL
What extraordinary plants
were there - plants I had never
dreamt of! What familiar plants
grown to incredible size . and
perfection! What gardens - the
rock gardens most awe-inspir-
ing with their huge rocks, which
one could hardly believe had
not been there for years yet were
to be dismantled after the show.
It seemed impossible for me
ever to come to terms with the
diversity of garden plants and
■ their cultivation. I wandered in
a daze till one of my colleagues
reminded me that we had to
piece the show report together
by that evening.
From the first, then, I had a
vested interest in the Royal
Horticultural Society’s Chelsea
Show, and a privileged one, too.
1 was able on press day to see it
in its most perfect, new-minted
condition, without the crowds.
Chelsea continued to be a mine
of horticultural knowledge,
especially as time went by and I
began to know the begetters of
that knowledge, the growers and
nursmymen as well as all those
horticultural cognoscenti who
come on press day to take part
in the meetings of the RH5
committees, judging exhibits
and triants.
This great show has been held
in the grounds of the Royal
Hospital since 1913 with inter-
ruptions from two world wars;
this year’s show is the sixty- ,
second. It is the present
culmination of shows held since
1827. at the Society’s original-
gardens at Chiswick, its second ■
garden in Kensington, and then
in what are now called the
Embankment Gardens near
Charing Cross.
Following an international
horticultural exhibition co-
sponsored by the RHS and held
in the Royal Hospital grounds,
the RHS took over on a regular
basis and in 1913 the first
"Great Spring Show" was held
there, starting a cordial relation-
ship which continues unabated.
A hundred years of hybridization: Three of McBeans most
famous and complex orchids . Above: Highland Velvet
(Mihonia) which originated in Central America
Orchids are a man's best friend: Ray Biltoa, owner of McBeans in Lewes, East Sussex, with some of his 8,000 plants valued at £160,000
with the society leasing the
show area for 40 days each year.
In 1913 a marquee of some
three-quarters of an acre was
erected; today the marquee
covers three acres and a half,
one of the biggest tents in the
world. Under this giant spread
of canvas most of the stands are
from nurserymen, naturally
enough. ' for one must always
remember that the basis of
Chelsea is commercial - how-
ever far flowers seem removed
from commerce.. Many of these
firms are small ones, often long-
standing family businesses.
Some exhibits are collective,
like the huge display always
created by the National Farmers
Union,, combining vegetables,
fruit, cut flowers and ornamen-
tal pot plants - a unique piece
of traditional staging. The
National Association of Flower
Arranging Societies is usually
there, parks departments mount
positive landscapes Eke a recent
lakeside mill; there are collec-
tive displays from horticultural
and conservation societies and
further joint groups from
abroad, mostly st a ged by hbrti-
■culiural co-operatives like those
of Belgium and Colombia.
Amateurs have their place,
too. Last year, for instance, we
had a large exhibition of rare
ferns from a well-to-do amateur
whose hobby is plants, who has
previously excited admiration
with tropical species, some
hardly known botanically, col-
lected' in travels all over the
world. In contrast there was a
tiny exhibit of north American
lewisias from an amateur alpine
specialist. Both, incidentally,
gained gold medals.
All these exhibits, large and
small, are assembled like some
great rectangular jigsaw,- so that
the really determined can walk
along every gangway and make
sure they see everything. But
stands are arranged very much
at random in terms of plant
content. One might walk by an
array of giant begonias and
delphiniums, one of bizarre
cacti garnished with exotic
epiphyllum blooms, a woodland
of huge-flowered rhododen-
drons. lilies, tropical and indoor
plants.
From South Africa, there
may be the unbelievable,
artificial-looking proteas and
-their kin; from the Bahamas,
the bizarre heli comas, gaudy in
red and yellow; then, perhaps,
sinister carnivorous plants
alongside roses, pinks, irises,
alpines. strawberries almost
everything one can think o£
Stands of orchids are usually
ranged ' alongside each other.
Thousands of plants make
orchidophiles drool, and rep-
resent hundreds of thousands of
pounds in value.
The lime is late May but ‘
there will be February snow-
drops and aconites, summer
lilies and annuals. Behind the
show lies' months of prep-
aration, weeks of carefully
orchestra led forcing and retar-
dation. It is a major exercise to
create a Chelsea stand, assemb-
. ling the material in the best pos-
sible condition, transporting it,
setting out the plants and any
props, and maintaining it for
the show's four pubEc days. It is
not only cut blooms that begin
to look past their best by Friday
- many of these are replaced
midweek - but shrubs like
rhododendrons: the dust and
: stuffy atmosphere take their toll
of these too. .
To the east and south of the
marquee two roadways are
fringed by gardens. These days
costs have" forced the simplifi-
cation of the rock gardens -but
there . is usually one good
example complete with cascad-
ing stream. The rest are
immensely varied. Most echo
the aspirations of the average
small-scale gardener, and de-
monstrate the possibilities of
DIY with summerhouse, green-
house. pergola, terrace statuary,
pool and fountain - sometimes,
perhaps, they have too many
features, and the more success-
ful are those showing some self-
discipline. Sometimes these
practical layouts are enlivened
by some exotic fantasy. or food
for thought provided by a plot
demonstrating herbs or wild
flowers, a cottage garden, and
one recent carefully thought out
layout for wheelchair-bound
gardeners.
Among a good deal of ‘'hard
landscape”, planting is usually
contrived just to create maxi-
mum display in the show's
short span. But this is surely a
reasonable artifice; a planting
which could be seen to provide
for other seasons would not
catch the eye in this- week of
May.
The marquee exhibits seem
as elaborate and certainly as
painstaking as ever they were.
When i first went to Chelsea
some of the biggest eye-catchers
were from the great seed firms
who had made their fortunes
supplying seeds for Victorian
bedding schemes: their displays
had stocks and antirrhinums,
for instance, five feet tall,
reflecting incredibly expensive
preparation during the previous
months. Annuals are more
limited these days and of a size
more easily attainable.
One great turning point came
perhaps 20 years ago when the
Continental co-operatives first
came. Their methods of staging
were an absolute revelation at
the lime, and nurserymen
became aware of new possi-
bilities in handling plant mat-
erial. These days some of the
staging seems based simply on
the desire to do something new,
and sometimes borders on the
absurd: but such exhibits create
amazement rind amusement
and are a desirable foil to
beautifuL natural-seeming
groups of perennials or the
annual artistic masterpiece of
colour blending of house plants
from one great nursery. Some
firms are unaffected by change -
one or twd, I believe, have not
altered their display appreciably
in 30 years!
Chelsea is not a competitive
show in the sense of having
prizes for the best camellia or
set of turnips. But a range of
awards is made bv the RHS
committees. Nurserymen and
garden designers regard these as
very important: a gold medal is
a real seal of excellence, and
sometimes the society has
recriminations over awards
<onsidered too low. The RHS
Council members sit late into
the night on Monday making
sure that committee awards are
regarded by all as equitable.
The horticultural experts I
mentioned earlier have always
been integral to Chelsea. But -
certainly up to the 1939-45 war
- a lot of other visitors.

those days Lhe orchids had a

these rich people passed their

Chelsea is still a great annual
event, and the fact that royalty
comes to view at the end of
press day gives it much prestige:
but nowadays socialites would
resent the crowds; it is much
more everyman’s show.

year they are to show the
ihtmuuum hybrids, anew
i of rhododendrons which, I
ct, will be an outstanding
ss. Laid out as they are
other ericaceous plants,
shflnid offer many ideas.
Green house-plants, set off by
colourful plants, will be the
centre piece of the Belgian
■ show, one of many international
■ stands. They will include speci-
mens of the weeping fig Ficus
benjamins and the indiarnbber
plant Fiats elastica. The very
large-leafed Ficus beagalensis
will dominate the exhibit. The
Belgians, who are plant experts,
believe the green. plant will take
over as the most popular indoor
seller.
A walk around Hflliers of
Winchester's stand will offer a
view of almost every plant there
is in the woody range. Rhodo-
dendrons and azaleas will
provide most of the colour, bat
the yellow foliage of such plants
as Robinia Frisia is as good as
any flower. -
- Bressingham Gardens, of
Diss, Norfolk, will exhibit dwarf
'and slow-growing conifers.
Their stand is always distinc-
tive because of its colour and
form, expertly used. It also
invariably features new and
interesting plants - but take
your notebook as some of the
names are tongue-twisters.
" Roses in bloom will be at
Chelsea in great numbers.
There are always one or two new
varieties malilBg their debut.
One that has taken my eye is
Beautiful Britain, a cross from
Red Planet and Enrorose. It has'
orange-scarlet petals and has
been selected as the rose of the
year. A rival, however, will be
the rose, so far unnamed, which
won the president’s inter-
« national trophy id* the Royal
National Rose Society last year.
It is displayed by Mattocks.
There is keen competition
among designers for com-
missions to lay out the various
gardens. Most of them are
sponsored and are built to
embody a theme. The interest
' they arouse can readily be
ganged by observing the ani-
mated discussions they provoke
among the visitors. The Sunday
Tima this year is to feature a
perspective garden by Roger

Turner, while Paul Temple wfl]
be exhibiting one with a
Japanese influence; its aim is to
reflect peace and tranquillity -
no mean feat so near the traffic
on the Thames Embankment.
The concentration in one area
of gardening sundries enables
the show to be of considerable
help to the public, who can
compare qualities and prices of
goods offered by the m*w>
suppliers. Representatives of
fertilizer manufacturers, for
example, will be on hand to
answer questions.
Chelsea also makes easier the
difficult task of selecting a
greenhouse from the many and
varied types available. Talking
to salesmen on die stands about
the relative merits of wood or
alloy can help to decide which is
the more suitable for specific
purposes or sites. On view, too,
will be Europe's new lean-to
greenhouse, the Viscount three
sizes of which are sold in kit
form.
Finally, let me add a word
*bout a stand which always
beckons me - the Flson’s
exhibit of greenhouse fruits and
regetobles: tomatoes, cncnm-
Peppers, melons, auber-
gines, marrows and pmnpkins-
■Smpsrbly grown, the plants are-
m foil fruit and ripe, and there
are to be 82 varieties this year,
whatever the weather, they will
be a joy to behold.

V J I for the past 170 years the
administration has been in
tnghsh and the conversation in
Creole or French. To the west is
Madagascar, some 500 miles
awa\\ and to the east there is
nothing but the Indian Ocean
until you reach Perth.
Port Louis. mountains
covered in green rising high
above it, must look a good deal
belter from the sea than it does
on foot. And it was from the sea
and the approach to Port
Louis's harbour that visitors as
diverse as Charles Darwin,
Joseph Conrad and Sir John
Pope-Hen nessy, the most dis-
tinguished of the island's
Governor-Generals, got their
first view of Mauritius.
Almost no western tourists
now give Port Louis more than
the courtesy of a half-day tour
to pay their respects to the
stuffed dodo in the museum
behind the esplanade r unning
up from the harbour, and
perhaps, if they have a smatter-
ing of ornithological kno wledge,
a similar obeisance to the
equally extinct solitaire bird
from the neighbouring depen-
dency of Rodrigues. They will
have landed at the airport of
Plai sauce on the opposite
corner of the islan d and
dispersed to their beach hotels.
No one stays in Port Louis
any more, although Mauritius's
first hold. The National is still
standing, a fine building in
colonial style and possible for
lunch. The Opera House, too,
remains in existence, strictly
amateur nowadays - Pavarotti
has yet to cancel an engagement
there.
In the middle of the Chinese
quarter is the main mosque,
cool and airy with a noble and
ancient mango tree within,
incongruous perhaps until it is
remembered that the Chinese,
who came to Mauritius as
pirates and stayed on as
gamblers and bookmakers, have
taken over large chunks of Port
Louis. They are much in
evidence in the market by the
harbour, where the fruit vege-
table and clothing area is
mercifully separated from the
meat department and - the
abattoir across the road.
Whether looking for kaftans
or cutlets, it is as well to keep a
firm hand on your teak-roll in
the bustle: it is always crowded.
Close by the market is a long
road given over to human
ailments; doctor’s surgeries and
chemists alternate on one side
of the street while general stores
are confined to the other. A
reminder, possibly, of the
malaria which once attacked the
town.
Early on in the British rule, it
was reckoned that Pent Louis
was no place for passing cool
judgment and the Governor's
Residence was accor ding ly
established at Le Reduit, on the
far side of the ring of mountains
which arches around the town.
Visitors and supplicants, as well
as official papers, were brought
by a single-track railway which
now, alas, is no more. Few
colonial governors have so fine
a bouse and estate: a long tine of
camohor trees leads to the front
door, while behind, the garden*
stretch away to a pinnacle with
an observation post over the
confluence of two rivers whose
valleys are inhabited by tribes
of monkeys and the white flash
of the paifie en queue, or Indian
Ocean tropic-bird; beyond is the’
Indian Ocean proper. Gardens
and public rooms can be visited
on working days under escort

tob did the late Shah of Iran,
although his property, fenced
off and abandoned, carries all
the sadness of his dynasty.
Ten 1 mites down the road - .
yes, Mauritius measures in
miles - is Curepipe, where
much of the commercial tile of
tte island goes on. Shopping is a
good deal more comfortable in
this mountain climate than it is
in Port Louis, but also a shade
more expensive. Those who
reckon they have spent suf-
ficient rupees (about Rsl8 to
£1) can go for a free look at the
Trou'aux Cerfs, an imme nse
crater at the edge of town and a
physical reminder of the vol-
canic past.
Quantities of tourists to
Mauritius will probably never
make the road to Le Rfeduit and
Curepipe. They may well be
content with their beach hotel
and perhaps the sight of a ‘
mongoose skittering across the
road through the fields of sugar
cane which form a skirt around
almost the whole island. Mon-
goose . . . Kipling . . . Riklri-
Tiklri-Tavi . . . nice furry
creature that lolls shakes? Well,
not nice according to the
zoologists and ornithologists
who have been trying to rescue
some of the fast disappearing
wildlife of the island. To them
the mongoose is probably the
most destructive of many
destructive animals introduced
to Mauritius.
It has certainly been partly
responsible for the virtual
disappearance of the pink
pigeon, a pretty, -flufly and over-
friendly bird with a prediclec-
titin for certain types of seeds in
midsummer which have much
the same effect on. ft as powerful
hash has on humankind. While
the pink pigeon is on cloud nine
the mongoose comes up and
eats its eggs. Three of the 10
rarest birds in the world are
found on Mauritius, with the
echo parakeet and the Mauri-
tian kestrel joining the pink
pigeon. In Europe an en-
dangered species is likely <o be
numbered in thousands; here it
is numbered in tens. Two men
are striving id preserve them..

shman, has an aviary cum-
b reeding centre sponsored by
the Mauritian Government,

Jones, who arrived with what
he describes as “a human-fix-
ated peregrine falcon”, has had
considerable success with breed-
ing the pink pigeon; so much so
that a colony are going to be
released in the Botanical Gar- '
dens of Famplemousses near
Port Louis later this year. Equal
rewards are coming from the
Mauritian kestrel: in the course
of a morning I spent with Jones, '
and a cageful of tropical bars
(fast disappearing in Rodrigues)
two kestrel chicks emerged from
their shells, putting the. known
world population up from 14 to
16, at least for the time being.

and luxurious Tousserok, which
has its own island,-tte He. aux
Cerfs, was less welcoming, but it
happened to be in the middle of
a- take-over bid while I .was
.there and has now been
acquired by Southern Sun,
owners of tit St G£ran. In a
lower price bracket, consider
tire Pirogue .-(west coast) Of the
Trou anx Biches (north-west).
Mauritius is blessed with
fertile soil and the fruit and
vegetables are way, way above
the quality normally encoun-
tered in tropical islands.
Stick to rum-based cocktails
(Green Island is the best of the
local rums) at R&25-35 in the
hotels, which is cheaper “than in
those Happy Hour bars spring-
ing up in south London. ■V
bottle of Green Island in a store
is about Rs47. Wine is dear and
mainly Smith African, whisky
prohibitive, but Gtibey's gin is
made under licence and so is
Kronen burg beer.
Restaurants - and there are
quite a few scattered around the
coast - have modest prices, and
oe sure to try tne contemn, a
type of tcrevisse which gets its
sweet taste from the water
swishing around the sugar cane.
Every- other bar seems to be
called The Paul et Virginie after
Benaadm de St Pierre's novel,
which aH the hotel bookstalls
carry. Actually, it re-reads very
wen despite the ineffable good-
ness of almost all the characters;
add St Piexre was scrupulous
about his topography, as anyone 1
driving, afotund the island will
find out. Bat don't hire a car.'
which is expensive; instead,
take a taxi at Rs300-400 a day.
The cynics point out that the,
most important event in Mauri-'
tian history, the death of
Virginie^ never happened and
that the national bird, the dodo,
is extinct. And no one has ever
forgotten that . Queen Victoria
addressed one of her letters to
“Mauritius. British West In-
dies”. But non-cynics will find
it one of the most fascinating
islands in the Indian . Ocean
w-iih far more to offer than mere
snorkelling and coral strands.

Before you go to Greece for the
first time. read, at the very least.
Book II of Thucydides's The
Peloponnesian War. Everything
will make much more sense if
you do. Buy the best guide-book
you can find.
The “golden age” of Athens
refers to the time when Pericles,
statesman and general, ruled the
city and its allies 1461-429 BC).
He took the money contributed
by the Confederacy of Delos
and intended for the reconstruc-
tion of the Athenian fleet, and
used it to rebuild Athens to the
glory of Athena Parthcnos. the
virgin goddess.
Between that time and the
present, which included almost
400 years of neglectful Turkish
rule, the city became little more
than a ruined village. Turner
painted the Acropolis in 1822.
•"Tis living Greece no more”,
lie said.
After the War of Indepen-
dence. Otho. a Bavarian prince,
was elected King, and many of
the architects of the first
official buildings were either
Bavarians or Danes. Apart from
the Acropolis and the surround-
ing ruins, Athens is a modern
city.
People say that it is not what
it was. Inflation and a general
lack of prosperity show them-
selves plainly. The caies in
S> magma and Kolonaki are less
smart and less crowded than
Direct flights by BA or Olympic
Airways El 99 (PAX, which means
that you must stay at least one
Saturday night Tickets are valid for
three months). Cheap flights (from
as little as £99) have strings
attached, such as specific flight
they used to be. Traffic and the
pollution it brings have already
restricted the use of private
cars. At intervals smog de-
scends.
Nevertheless. Athens is still
one of my favourite cities, i
always stay ai tbe same modest
hotel where the porter affects to
know me. 1 feel at home at
once.
i love Athens mainly for the
quality and brightness of it*:
light, wbich gives sharp-edged
shadows graded to almost
nothing. I love the city too for
its handsome old men. selling
pistachio nuts, sponges, or
lottery tickets flapping in the
wind; and for those hermit-
crabs who inhabit the little
kiosks w'hich provide every-
thing. including a public tele-
phone.
1 love, too. the few remaining
streets of the old Plata. on the
north-west side of the Acrop-
olis. Here the strangest things
arc on sale, and there is always a
cool church to rest in; or a cup
of coffee, or a glass of ouzo to be
had in some shady garden or
square. Or maybe there is a
liulc roof-top lavema where
they will serve you with a grilled
red mullet, a delicious fetta
salad and a glass or two of thin
white wine. "But". I hear you
say. “we didn't come to Athens
for this". No, no, of course not,
dates and periods of one or two
weeks.
The National Tourist Organization
of Greece, 195-7 Regent Street,
London W1 (734 5997) publishes a
useful booklet on how to get there
by air, raa, coach, private aircraft,

Ernest Been, though rather large

NAME
but the general atmosphere
must not be missed.
My advice is to get to the
Acropolis as soon as the gates
open. Once inside use your
eyes. Photograph if you must,
but look for all you are worth.
You may wonder why the
Parthenon looks so perfectly
right, so squarely and firmly
placed. The curious thing is that
it is not square, nor are any of
its apparently vertical lines truly
vertical. There is, in fact, not a
single straight line in the whole
building. The refinements pro-
vided by the designers serve to
correct the optical illusions of
sagging and bulging that are
common to normal buildings.
The precise variations were
measured by an Englishman,
Francis Cranmer Penrose
<1817-1903), who was an
astronomer, architect, and poly-
math of the first order, who
rowed three times for
Cambridge, and invented a
machine for drawing spi rals.
If you have an inquiring
mind you will need more than
one day to see the incomparable
buildings of the Acropolis and
its surroundings. Do not do it
all at once. Alternate your visits
with one of the many one-day
tours which make Athens such a
convenient centre. Guides tra-
vel on each bus and I have
found them charming and
competent, but highly posses-
sive- A word of warning here.
Museums close on one day a
week and whole sites on some
national holidays. I have found
the tour companies, perhaps not
unnaturally, somewhat reticent
about over-advertising this.
There are sightseeing tours of
Athens itself that help with the
topography. If you go out of the
city, many of the tours take the
best part of 12 hours.
Although Delphi would
always be my first choice, there
is really more sense in visiting
Mycenae first. This tour will
include Old Corinth, mainly a
Roman ruin of great interest,
and the superb 1 7,000 seat
theatre at Epidauros; with a call
at charming seaside Nafplion, it
makes quite a day.
Mycenae, the Cyclopean-
walled hill-top city, never fails
to give me the shivers, whatever
the weather. From here Aga-
memnon and his Argives set out
to “settle scores with Priam” at
Troy: only to be murdered on
his return by his wife Clylcm-
nestra and her lover Aegisthus.
Heinrich Schliemann, the
German archaeologist, who had
previously dug at Troy, found
some tombs just inside the Lion
Gateway here. He supposed
them to be royal and found a
gold death mask, which caused
him to send the famous
telegram; “I have gazed upon
the face of Agamemnon”.

Dramatic, but the mask is now
thought to pre-date Agamem-
non by at least 300 years.
A visit to the National
Archaeological Museum follows
naturally on your day at
Mycenae, and the unbelievable
treasure found by S chlieman n
will then have a greater impact.
There is, however, a great deal
more to see in this splendid
museum.
A savagely constructed motor
road cuts the journey time to
Delphi by almost half, but even
so you really need two days to
see the site and museum
properly.
The Sanctuary clings to the
mountainside, dramatically
poised above a chasm- lined
with olive trees leading to the
distant sea.
It is well worth the climb up
the zig-zag Sacred Way to the
temple of Apollo, home of the
Delphic oracle, and thence to
the theatre. Look at the view
while you get your wind, then
press on to the Roman stadium
hidden in the trees above.
I have mentioned only two of
the many one-day tours; there
are several others. Furthermore
you can usually arrange stop-
overs. The companies also list
many short tours of up to four
days by land, sea and air.

THE TIMES 21-27 MAY 1983
Summer in Switzerland Advertisement ream™
of Swiss travel
IN 1863 Mr Thomas Cook, "the
excursionist" gathered a flock of
64 ladies and gentlemen ter the
first ever organized trip of
Switzerland and the packaged deal
vvas bom. "With cheap tickets to -
the Mont Blanc" It cost a total of
£19-17-0 and lasted 21 days.
By our standards it sounds more
like an endurance test, guests
hB«ng to rise at sunset to make an
early start, riding in uncomfortable
coaches on rough and toilsome
roads.
But then the Victorian traveller In
Switzerland must have been
extremely tough; age only has to
look et photographs of ladies
crossing glaciers in a crinoline to
marvel at their courage. The
conquest of the Matterhorn two
years later was another
momentous event to captivate the
world. A group of eight British
climbers led by Edward Whymper,
starting from Zermatt, beat their
Italian rivals in a race to the top: But
the joy of victory was short-lived. -
On the way down a rope snapped,
precipitating four of the members
to their death. There was a lengthy
controversy about the rope which
strfl persists today.
By (he turn of the century, Swiss
todays were all Hie rage, with
sumptuous hotels, vast Edwardian
palaces on the lakes and In the
Alps. Fashionable society, held
court among .the rocks-Sr
Edward Cassel, the mllHoriarre
banker, built bis own baronial hall
on the edge of the Aletsch Glacier,
where with a staff ofl 2 he ~ • -
entertemed the rich. Everything -
guests included -had to be
brought up by mule from MSrei,
4,000ft befow. The \fflla Caasei is
now Switzerland's first educational
centre where people can attend
five day courses on alpine flora, •
geology, forestry and game. '
Swiss hotel pioneers set a new
high standard of hotel keeping that
has never been surpassed. One
was, Cesar Rite, whose name
became a synonym for quality and
perfection although he was fired
from his first job as a waiter at the
Hotel Couronne et Post in Brfgue,
being told that to succeed in
business one needed flair.
Alexander Seiler at the Hotel
Monte Rosa 'm Zermatt used the
conquest of the Matterhorn to
promote his unknown village and
put rt on the map.
The rise of St Moritz was another
lucky chance, a backward hamlet
when Johannes Badrutt in 1 866
made his famous bet invtting
guests to spend the winter there; if
the sky was overcast he would
refund their fare. A perfect wfatier
of course and the scene for St
Moritz wa« set, Today his
'descendants sBOjtmfheT’alaca,
which dominates^ towa With its
glittering social fife it Is an oasis of
wealth. But things are not the
same, the Swfos have become
more democratic and much less
stuffy. ,
With the opening of the new
Furka-OberaJp^ Tunnel last year ft is
now possible to take the Gaader
Express between Zermatt and St
Moritz on every day of the year.
Switzerland is a kaleidoscope of
awe-inspiring views and
nwnuments of its past Not always
as peaceful as believed, the Swiss
first defeated the Habsburgs and
then in 1476 the Burgundians
yycome Duke Charies the Bcrid.
A boat tr|p linking the lakes of
- Murtan, Neuchate! and Bienne,
without a change of ship, takes one
to these sites.
. BieJ/Bionns Is officially bMingua!
m German and In French. Jean-
bacques Rousseau loved the lake,
finding refuge on the Isle of St
Pierre which he never wanted to
teave. The atmosphere is quits
extraordinary, romantic and
serene.
Swftzsrtand Is so varied, spots
Rke St Saphorin, lapped by the Lac
Leman, the sky and water merged
in celestial blue. The Valley af
BregagRa is a paradise apart, with
SogBo and the Palazzo de Sails, a
Renaissance castle with afl the
original furniture which is now a
splendid hotel.
Borne, the capital, is dazzling
with eye-catching fountains of
medteval knights, banked high
with flowers.
Schaffhausen on the Rhine -
frequently thought to be German -
is a stagB set with Its resplendent
oriel windows and colourful
facades.
Basle which spans a history of
2,000 years beginning with the
Romans, has an ethereal quality to
which artists and thinkers like
Erasmus of Rotterdam were
instinctively drawn. The Kunst
Museum, housed in a modem
building, was the first museum,
opened in 1662, but already then it
Incorporated an earlier collection
which Hans Holbein the Younger
had helped to select '
For a travel trade view I
contacted Barrie Browne of Swiss
Travel Service, Ware,
Hertfordshire, specialists of
Switzerland. Mr Barrie, whose firm
recently topped the poll In a survey
of Package Deal Operators
undertaken by Which? Magazine,
said; "Holiday bookings to
Switzerland show a 4(3 per cent
increase, with the Bernese
Oberiand stilt as the favourite
holiday centre. Average one week
price now across aH seasons is
under £250 and indudes
accommodation in good class
hotel, half board, scheduled return
flight, transfer in Switzerland and
Swiss holiday ticket entitlteg one to
a 50 per cent reduction on the
Swiss transport network".
Swiss Travel Sendee offer a choice
of 28 resorts and 90 hotels.
Swissair has now introduced the
new Airbus A 310 on the London-
Zurich routs to be foflowed by
LondorvGeneva in June. It means
that holiday makers can travel to
Switzerland in the comfort of a
wide-body jet One can also
combine holidays with a special
language course, a fist of which is
obtainable from foe Swiss National

IN THE GARDEN
Clematis - a wall flower that
sits it out all year
For anyone who wants to cover -
a trellis or wall, or .to introduce
some climbing colour into the
garden, the clematis is one of
the first plants to consider. This
is a big family; containing a
wide variation of types besides
the large flowered forms- most
often -seenin gardens.
Clematis flower from spring ■
through autumn, according to
variety, , so by careful selection it
is possible to have something to
see in the garden almost:
throughout the year.. All .var- .
ieties require 'a cool root run;
some. 1 -are more- touchy, than,
others, :but as a • mattery of
course, : make sure the roots 'are
not exposed ~to the heat of the
sun for long periods. Although
cool -moist, soil - is ideal, -the
placing of a flagstone or even a-
planting of dwarf shrnbs will go
a long way towards sheltering
the root system firom heaL
Container-grown plants, are
the usual way of buying
clematis- and these can be
planted at almost any time.
However, I prefer, to plant at
some time during the dormant
season and get modi the best
results in September or April. '
Clematis macropebala ■
Make sure the plant is firmly
planted; try to ensure that the
top of the root ball is about half
an inch lower in the soil than
before.
-Regular pruning is necessary
to prevent the 1 plants from
becoming too big and untidy,
but ‘different groups require
different treatment. Jackmanii
and VUicella types are best cur
back 'hard; remove almost - all
the growth made the previous
season about ■ mid-February.
Fatehs, Florida and Lanuginosa
are-best pruned after flowering
by cutting back the flowering
shoots dose to the old wood.
Varieties to look for are Ville
de Lyon (J), which is a carmine
red; Jackmanii (J), which has
violet purple flowers and is very
striking; and Madame le Coul-
tre (L), with white flowers. All
arc summer flowering. -Species
well worth trying ind ude C
montana and Ynontana rubais,
both very vigorous and spring
flowering, with white and rosy
flowers respectively and- C
tangutica, which flowers in
September, when its yellow
pendant blooms cover the plant
— cut it hard back to
framework. C armandii has
sweetly scented white flowers in
April and needs a warm wall; C
macropetala Markhams Pink
has soft pink flowers in May,
and needs no pr uning ; C
bdkarica produces yellowish
white flowers early in the year
OU a plant which is not over
vigorous.
There are about 250 different
forms of clematis so these are
merely representative. Plants
cost about£3 eaefa-

the Lyric as a home base where
they will play three times a year
(once in the Studio). Their
brilliant adaptation of A Hand-
fi* 1 of Dust played there to full
houses in November.
Despite Rnzzante’s intermit-
tent excursions into high-flown
parody, the predominant style is
earthy, direct, often vulgar - the
plays are written in Paduan
dialect - hot with a vein of
natural imagery rtwf reminded
Alfreds of Irish speech. “It’s a
very fresh voice; it’s as if yon
can hear him, over four and a
half centuries, saying TPs like
that. He deals in the great
perennial topics: money, sex,
survival. Particularly survival.
The peasants endure plague,
war, famine; but they go on.”
The four chosen plays, which
have some similarities of
character and incident, have
been condensed and welded
together. In each play, Alfreds
explained, the situation gets
tougher - so bad that the only
hope of final happiness has to
be brought by a splendiferous
angel appealing for faith. **1116
acting style is naive, much more
immediate than English people
are used to - not easy to play. In
England we’re used to subtext;
we don’t always say what we
mean. These characters look at
each other eye to eye.”

duction will be a similar

Drink
Traditional British tipple that
is ripe for revival
Guessing the correct identity of
Brown Snout, Sfack-ma-girtile,
Somerset Redstreak and Knot-
ted Kernel would probably
stump every Mastermind con-
testant The answer is that they
are all traditional rider apples.
And while these old varieties
together with the rough, raw,
cloudy farmhouse ciders or
scrumpy that every termer’s
wife made from windfalls and
damaged fruit, are rarely see n
today, the cider industry is
enjoying a renaissance.
Not only have rider sales
doubled in the past decade, but
last year cider notched up a
hefty 20 per cent increase on the
previous year - virtually the
only area of the depressed
drinks trade (apart from white
wine) to show any increase at
alL
This rider revival may well
have followed in tbe wake of the
Campaign for Real Ale, and the
belief that returning to tra-
ditional English tipples is a
good thing. But I suspect that
shrewd cider drinkers have
discovered that rider is not only
slightly cheaper than beer but is
also several d eg r ees more
alcoholic, making it the most
alluring alternative to wine.
It is difficult to pinpoint
exactly when rider was first
fermented but tbe Celts have
always been associated with this
drink and Celtic mythology is
full of refe re n ces to cider and
the apple tree, which they
considered sacred; so although
the French would have us
believe that our rider-making
skills crossed the Channel with
the Norman conquest, the truth
is that rider had been made in
this country ever since the first
apple crop was gathered - and
that was long before the
Romans arrived, let alone the
Normans.
Mind you, cider was always
considered a rustic, homely
brew until the Hundred Years
War when French wine became
scarce and the gentry had to fill
their glasses with rider instead
of wine. But it was not until the
•late nineteenth century that the
wild yeasts that caused violent
and unpredictable fermen-
tations were isolated and fine
riders rather than scrumpy were
widely available.
Today cider is made princi-
pally in the West Country, in
Herefordshire and Gloucester-
shire. as well as in Somerset and
Devon, and to a lesser degree
Norfolk and Kent, with the
three major companies of
Buhners in Hereford. Taunton
in Somerset and Coates Gay-
mem based in Somerset and
Norfolk, carving up most of the
rider market between them. But
scrumpy is still made on
hundreds of different terms in
every rider county and my
schooldays in Kent were con-
siderably cheered by kegs of
local scrumpy.
The finest ciders come from
apples that are classed as
bittercweets; high in tannin and
low in arid, and prized for the
traditional, foil flavour they
impart. One of the finest and
most traditional riders I know,
made exclusively from bitter-
sweet apples, is Buhners No 7. a
magnificent extra dry still cider ■
launched in die 1890s only a
decade after this firm was
founded.
No 7 is often re fe rr ed to as a
connoisseur's rider - a mislead-
ing phrase, for this gutsy amber-
gold rider is full of appde
flavour, and, apart from a
somewhat rustic dry finish, is I
think actually rather easy to
drink. No 7*s low sugar content
(less than 0.3S per cent) mnV»«
it ideal for diabetics. (The half-
pint nip retails at SOp and is
available from off-licences.)
Another fine English rider,
made from Cox’s Orange
Pippins and Bramleys, that has
quite a following within the
wine world, is wine merchant
Robin Don’s delicious Elmham
House still, medium dry vintage
rider, made and bottled in
Norfolk. The ’81 is the vintage
currently on sale and its pale
straw colour plus a fresh apple y
character and an unusually high
alcohol content for cider -
around 8 degrees - means that
this cider tastes curiously and
remarkably just- like an English
wine but is. I am assured, made
exclusively from apples.
E l mham House cider does
apparently take on a much
more pronounced rider charac-
ter after a year or so of bottle
age. but few of us I suspect will
be able to resist pulling the cork
on this elegantly liveried cider
long before then. (The ’81 is
available direct from Hicks &
Don, Park House, Elmham,
Dereham, Norfolk, £1.58. Har-
rod’s, Knigh tsbridge, London
SWI, stock the ’80 for £1.75.)
As France still produces more
cider t han we do it is only fair
to mention one of their
spa ri di n g Normandy ciders that
are a good foil to the still
traditional English ciders. One
of the best is La Cidraie. a
naturally sparkling cider from
the Cideries Reunies at Le Theil
in Normandy, whose handsome
gol den- orange colour and fresh
flowery apple .fragrance and
taste really is very good indeed.
But ma ke certain you buy the
dry sparkling cider, for the
sweet and medium sweet
versions are not as good.

Laissez faire holds back
growth of laser disc
Whither Laser-Vision? It is a
year «nce Philips launched the
video disc system in Britain and
the company is the first to
admit that so ter tbe response
has fallen weQ below expec-
tations. Optimism that this
state of affairs will change in the
next 12 months is based partly
on making the system more
attractive by expanding the
range of programme titles and
also the prospec t that rising
prices of cassette recorders will
make disc players better value.
Certainly LaserVitioa,
though technically impressive,
needs some sort of special boost
if it is to establish itself as a
popular alternative to cassettes,
which have had the crucial
advantage of several years’
start.
The mam advantages
claimed for Laser Vision are. the
superior sound and picture
quality of the discs over
cassettes and tbe relative cheap-
ness of the software. The discs
cost £17 to £18 and although
cassette prices have been com-
ing down, many are still in tbe
£40 to £50 bracket
Furthermore, since the disc is
“read” by a laser beam there is
no surface «nd lmtilm a
cassette it win not wear out
With the picture and sound
sealed in a plastic rrmring, ft
in any case, more robust- than, a
tape and almost impossible to
Since Laser Vieon is still
fairly new, there is every
prospect that the prices of both
discs and players win -come
down in real terms. At the
moment, the ■ standard disc
player sells at £399, or about the
same as a comparable video
casette recorder. .
Laser Vision was . launched
with only 50 programme titles;'
there are now 170, and Philips
plans to have 300 to 400 in the
catalogue by the end of tire year. -
This will still be a small
selection when set against the
total of 4,000 titles, available
on video cassettes. . .
Philips maintains, however,
that only 10 . par . cent of
programmes account for. the-,
bulk of business and it is in.
these flam the catalogue will
concentrate. Already the reper-
toire includes a good selection
of feature films, from Kagemu-
sha to The Sound of Music, as
well as popnlar music, sport and
documentary.
. There are two types of disc
active play which lasts for 36
minutes per side and long play,
which gives an hour each side
and is mainly, used for feature
films. On tire shorter discs it is
possible to reverse, speed up or
slow the : action and freeze the
frame; buT these facilities are
ndt available on the long play
variety.
A small irritant; compared
with the cassette, is that the disc
has to be stopped and turned
over, like a gramophone record,
once ks playing . time has
finished and any film lasting
more than two hours wifl spread
over at least twq discs.
The disc player, though larger
and heavier than the standard
VCR. is easy to use and the
H aims about sound and picture
quality are justified. It is a
.firmer and sharper picture than
is provided by a cassette, if not
quite up to tbe standard of the
best televirion reception; sound
is also better, particularly if
played ‘through a stereo ampli-
fier,
■ What LaserVIskm cannot do
is. to record and this must be
one of the strongest arguments
against it. In one survey, 70 per
ceat of people said. their main
■reason for .acquiring a video was
to- •• record television pro-
grammes and if this is generally
true a disc system would appear

Action replay of films that missed
Now and again video provides
the o pp ort un ity to see films of
interest that bandy surfaced in
the and one such is
Brian de Palma’s first feature.
The Wedding Party. Made in
the 1960s white be was still at

De Palma has established
himself as a director of stylish
horror, with films film Dressed

ding Party is, by contrast, a
zany comedy; boasting early
sc r e en appearances by Jill
Qaybmgh and Robert de Niro,
it shows a young film maker
exhilarated by Ms m edium
Joining the Videofonn list is
The Last Tycoon, a film of
man y talents (Kazan, Pinter, de
Niro, Mitchum) that was
savaged on its initial release in
1976 but may be ripe for
reassessment. A’ video viewing
of Milos Forman’s 1971 gener-
ation gap comedy. Taking Off
(CTC), will be interesting in
another sense; to establish
whether the film is too rooted in
its era to strike chords in the
1980s.
The new CBS/Fox video
releases include John Boor-
man’s science fiction fantasy
from 1974, Zardoz, and Werner
Herzog’s 1977 version of the
Dracula story, Nosferatu the
Vampire, with Klaos KinskL Of
more recent vintage is Mai
Zetterling’s uncompromising
study of borstal giria, Scrubbers
(Thom EMI).
Now that Tngmar Bergman
has - apparently - retired from
film malrii^ his WOlk can be
judged as a whole, which makes
video issues particular
valuable. There are two this
month from Longman: Summer
with Monika, mate in 1952,
and Scenes. From a Marriage.
Thom EMI is patting out the
second part of the Andrzej
Wajda trilogy, Kanal, with its
sombre account of the Warsaw
uprising. There is more popular
fare in The Sunshine Boys
(MGM/UA), the Neil Simon
comedy about two old vaude-
ville artistes played by Walter
Matthau and George Bums; and
one of the best of the Sergio
Leone spaghetti Westerns, Once
Upon a Time in the West, with
Henry Fonda uncharacteristi-
cally cast as a psychotic killer
(CTC).
Tbe CIC label also has a gem
from 1964: Don Siegel’s film of

The D’Oyly Carte company
died because it tried to remain
completely faithful to the
original stagings of the Gilbert
and Sullivan operas without
performers good -1 enough to
make the works alive and
exciting to new audiences. Tbe
recent stage revival of The
Pirates of Penzance has shown
that it is possible to produce a
hugely entertaining show, close
to the spirit of Gilbert and
Sullivan without slavishly fol-
lowing their every word, note
and step.
Video ought to be able to
provide a compromise between
the dead Savoy and the vibrant
but perhaps over-innovative
New York extremes of in-
terpretation. This series of 12
operas - recorded specially for
video - tries, largely success-
fully, to balance the conflicting
demands of fidelity to the past
and the need for a new spark.
The production budget for
each opera was Sim and a great
deal of imaginative effort went
into designing and building tbe
sets, which allow the action to
escape the constraints of the
theatre stage. The orchestra is
no less than the London
Symphony.
But S12m is a lot of money to
recoup, and the series must
therefore be acceptable to
American audiences. The att-
empt to do this takes two forms:
employing a sprinkling of
“name” stars not normally
associated with opera, let alone
G &. S, and getting Douglas
Fairbanks Jnr to introduce tbe
works and provide brief half-
time commentary. Mr Fair-
banks is less than illuminating.
Casting for reasons of fame
rather than proven talent for the
rather peculiar demands of G &
S has its risks, not least that of
introducing an imbalance in
works which rely crucially on an
integrated equilibrium of per-
formance. When the gamble
pays, however, the results can
be marvellous. Vincent Price as
the softy villain Sir Despard
Murgatroyd in Ruddigore is a
joy. Joel Grey (the master of
ceremonies in tbe film Cabaret)
is Jack Point in The Yeoman qf
the Guard, and W illiam Conrad
(the fat television detective
Cannon) is the Mikado. Closer
to home, Frankie Howexd
appears in both HMS Pinafore
(Sir Joseph Porter) and Trial by
Jury (the learned judge) but is,
perhaps, too idiosyncratic a
comedian to slip easily into
Savoyard mould. Keith Michefl
is in three of the operas
{Ruddigore, the Gondoliers, The
Pirates of Penzance) and does
not quite come off in any. In
particular, his modem major-
general is a disappointment
The directors of some of the
operas have indulged in silly
camera tricks and other gim-
micks. In Iolanthe the song
sending Strephon to Parliament
is accompanied by a pastiche
newsreel film, in black and
white, of Strephon at the
hustings in the 1920s.
It would have been helpful to
have a resonte of the plot and a
full cast list with each enzyme
On the whole, though, the
series is to be recommended.
Action flows well, the camera-
work is usually strong and the
set pieces are wittily presented.
Singing and acting are of a high
standard and the ensemble
playing is admirable.
Precision Video’s The Yeo-
man of the Guard is an
adaptation of the City of
London Festival production,
filmed at the Tower of London
itself The excellent cast is led
by Tommy Steele as a moving
Jack Point.
The same company has
brought oat HMS Pinafore by
the D’Oyly Carte. With the
benefit of so many of Gilbert
and Sullivan’s best known songs
it can hardly go wrong, despite
wooden staging and variable
singing. It is spirited and
predictable (which is what tbe
purist desires) and no oppor-
tunity to ham is wasted.

pre-1945). Seeker and Warburg

lavishly illustrated auto-
biography.
Man took his first document
lary photographs in the trendi-
es of the Western Front in 1915
but did not become a pro-
fessional until 1928, when he
produced picture stories fiSr
German magazines.
The photo-essay, telling' n
story with the camera rather
than the pen, and with pictures
taking preference over words on
the pnhlished page, was virtual-
ly unknown in England when
the magazine Weekly Ithutrated
was launched in July, 1934. In
the early issues Man's pictures
filled many of its pages. Their
subjects - London streets at
night,' reading room of the
British Museum (Man's were
the first photographs taken
there), children. at a school in
Devon -• provided pictures
which captured the atmosphere
and character of the people and
places they depicted.
Weekly Illustrated was soon
overtaken . by Picture Post,
which employed . a similar
formula. More, than half the
photographs in the new period-
ical's first issue off 750,000
copies were by Man. This
magazine demonstrated to the
British public the potential and
scope of picture stories about
everyday things presented on
the page with an imaginative
flair that demanded attention.
Bat Man’s subject matter was
never confined to the documen-
tary. His interests ranged from
por traiture to fashion and the
theatre. His photographs of
artists at ease in their studios
(Sutherland, Braque, Hockney
Matisse) are among his finest.
He was fanldess at choosing
the precise moment to press the
shatter. One of his most famous
photographs, that of Mussolini
in the vast auditorium he used
for an office, was shot on
Impulse as Man entered the
room and he knew hnmediately
be had . taken . a picture that
could not be unproved upon.
Man was as good with people
. on the streets as with politicians
or artists. IBs fairly recent
reportage photographs of Chiri-
co In the cafe in Rome possess
the freshness and amity which
we observe in his work of 50
years ago. This is because
throughout his career he has
r emain ed true to his basic tenet,
that a photograph most speak
for itself, free from any text.

Saints #liv<e after 50 years

The outstanding event of the
Almeida Theatre Spring Music
Festival will be the British
Pnrraifrre, a mere half-century,
after its first American perform-
ances in 1934, of the -Virgil
Thomson/Gertrude Stein opera.
Four Saints in Three Acts (May
26-28). The composer wanted to
write something about the lives
of the saints, the librettist
something about Spain, .and
they put it together in 1 927-jjS.
The Almeida Theatre wflj
offer staged concert perform-
ances, with costumes, lighting:
and some movement . .. 'As
owners of the recent complete
recording (Nonesuch 79035)
' wilj know, this scote’s moving
simplicities, its' ’convincing
naiveties, aro. star joyously,
enchanting^ alive. ' .
Four 'Saints is also of Interesl
for its oblique anticipations of
the so-called “minimalist” .. or
“systems" compositions of
Steve Reich, Philip Glass and
others. Such music is rep-
resented at the festival by The
Lost Jockey (June 7). Taking
their name from a Magritte
painting, this group was formed
in 1980 by six keyboard players
to perform works by Glass,
Reich and others, but the
ensemble has. grown to more
than 30 and they now have their
own music.
Also of note are the "Com-
bines and • Laminates” pro-
gramme by AMM (May 24), a
group whose improvisation
“admits all. sounds", and the
appearances of Alterations with
Mischa Mengelberg (June 8)
and Lol Coxhill (June 9).
Founded in 1977, this ensemble
works in soul, reggae, R&B.
rock, chamber music, and, the
press release says, “the trashiest
pop". (Almeida Theatre, 1

impressive control yesterday as they,
captured the remaining nine Essex
wickets to complete a thoroughly
deserved victory. It kept alive
Sussex hopes of reaching the
quarter-final round in the Benson
and Hedges Cup. with everything
dependent on their game with
Hampshire at Hove on Monday.
Essex failed to mount the
challenge that might be expected
from an unbeaten side, but they are
already assured of a place in the last
eight. They resumed needing 16Z
from 43 overs bat Pringle was the
only batsman to suggest that Sussex
might be extended.
Accurate bowling by Grcig and
Barclay imposed a tight rein on
Essex in the first hour and three
remarkable pieces of fielding by
Parker finally tilted the game
towards Sussex. Gould was given
the Gold Award for his batting on
Thursday by the adjudicator. Alec
Bedscr.
Grrig dismissed both overnight
batsmen, Hardie and McEwan,
when Essex resumed at 47 for one,
during a spell in which he took two
for seven in six overs. Barclay,
flighting his off-breaks cleverly, had
two for 12 in eight oven at the other
end.
With successive balls Barclay had
Fletcher leg before and Phillip held
at mid-on by Parker, who look a
spectacular, leaping catch to his left.
Soom aflerwrds Parker threw down
the stumps at the bowler’s end
direct from cover as Pom back up to
far.
When Turner mistimed a drive to
cover, Essex were 111 for seven
from 37 oven and in the middle ofa
crisis. David East defended soundly
as Pringle unfurled a series of firm
strokes, leavened with two reverie
sweeps against Waller’s left-arm
spin that each brought three runs.
When be reached 30, and the score
136, Pringle was dropped offbarday
at deep square leg but two lofted
fours against Greig in the same over
kept Essex in the hunt.
Another astonishing pick-up and
throw by Parker, though ended the
eighth wicket stand. David East was
slow to set off for a single when the
ball struck his pods and Parker at
short fine legagain hit the bowler’s
slumps direct from more than 30
At lunch Essex needed 42
im seven overs but Pringle drove
a high catch to long-on in the
afternoon's second over and Lever
was run out trying to snatch a single
from a leg-bye.

Worcester, match abandoned
And so it §oes on, the storms
getting if anything heavier and more
frequent. In conditions announced
as being unfit for fim-dass cricket,
Worcestershire and Northampton-
shire tried at New Road yesterday ta
get in a game in the Benson &
Hedges Cup, but it was no good.
They managed only 21.4 overs
before the ram mocked their efforts.
The one point which went to each
side as a result of the abandonment
leaves four of the five counties in
Group B with a chance of qualifying
for the quarter-finals of the
competition. Everything depends on
today’s matches. Should it be
possible to play them, between
Gloucestershire and Worcestershire
at Bristol and Northamptonshire
and Scotland at Northampton.
Play started yesterday at 11.43,
with Worcestershire put in. By the
end of the eighth over thvy were 12
for five, Mallender having taken
three wickets and Kapil Dev two.
The pitch was not difficult, just
awkward. Mali under’s first ball kept
low and had Weston leg-before. In
the same over Paid was well caught
at first slip. Kapil Dev then bowled
Onnrod with a break-back and King
threw a stroke better suited 10 a
sunny Bridgetown day.
When D'Oliveira went, caught at
the wicket there seemed a chance
that Northamptonshire might even
beat the elements. But at 22 for five.
By John Woodcock, Cricket Correspondent
there was a 20-mimuc stoppage and
as soon as play resiana£ Hum-
phries. then four, survived a sharp
chance to backward short leg off
Kapil Dev.
With Neale, Humphries was
helping to pull Worcestershire
around when the first of two heavy
storms caused the match to be
abandoned. No sooner had a 10-
over scramble been scheduled to
replace it, starting perhaps ax 5 pm.
than a veritable cloudburst washed
it out.
It was good to see Mallender
bowling successfully - he was a little
disappointing Iasi season after
starting so well in 1981- and it is
always a joy to watch KapO Dev.
After six Test matches in die West
Indies, finishing barely a fortnight
ago, he called in at Northampton to
play a one-day game for them before
flying on to Bombay to help choose
India's side for the Prudential
World Cup. Now he is back again.

CARDIFF: match abandoned.
Glamorgan (I pi). Surrey dpi).
I believe it was Lord Harrington,
in the 1980s, who dreamt he was
speaking in the House of Lords, and
woke up lo find be was. [ was
reminded of this by the early Surrey
balling yesterday.
They still seemed unsure whether
they were awake, or in a morpbean
twilight. This is not a criticism of
the batsmen, just an explanation. So
rarely have they had a bat in their
hands in real contest this season
that they could be forgiven for
thinking it was all a dream.
It must be said for Glamorgan,
however, that they had woken to the
alarm clock, sounded by their new
captain, Selvey. He and Nash made
the ball swing, under the heavy
skies, and Suney. after winning the
losv batted languidly.
Clinton was Icg-bcforc in the first
over. Butcher and Smith progressed
uncertainly on a pitch which was
slow but of doubtful bounce. Smith,
trying 'to shake off caution, had a
heave at Nash and was leg-before at
IS. After 16 overs, the score was
only 36.
Selvey brought on Lloyd, of
whom. one still thinks as *Tbe young
off- spinner”, although he has taken
more than 200 wickets 1 for
Glamorgan, and was born ax Neath
30 years ago. They grow their plants
to last at Neath: more stubborn
leeks than lovely, ephemeral
daffodils.
Lloyd bowled well, but it was
Nash who got the next wicket.
Butcher leg-beforc at 49. Nash
bowled his quota through, and
finished with 2 for 21. Neither
Knight nor Howarth looked at ease.
Knight was caught at the wicket off
Rowe, who also bowled off-breaks,
at 68.
Then it rained, but only for 10
minutes. All morning the clouds
bad lain ominously about, and the
ground was already so soaked that it
only needed another storm to send
us home. We dodged it that time.
Lynch and Howarth be^n to put
the Surrey inning s together, and
played some brave strokes. At 133,
Wilkins, fielding from his own
bowlin, ran out Lynch with a
splendid throw after Howarth had
sent Lynch back.
The score bad reached 142 in the
45th over, when Wilfred Wofler
appeared on the pavilion balcony. I
have written about this Cardiff
balcony before. It has a large sign
saying that you may not sit on h nor
stand on h, and there is, I
understand, a terrible Welsh curse
upon anyone who transgresses.
Wilfred, never a superstitious,
man, hauled a chair out of the bar,
and jumped himself in it, Uu
the sign.

BOURNEMOUTH: Hampshire (2
pis) beat Minor Counties by six
wickets.
Perhaps it was the unaccustomed
hot sunshine at Bournemouth but
Hampshire made hard work of
scoring 169 for their second Benson
and Hedges Cop qualifying victory
against Minor Counties. They won
by six wickets in 47.5 overs, but
were struggling early on when
Gree nidge was bowled by Davis for
13 and Smith was caught behind off
Pont for 0 with only 1 8 scored.
Turner was third out at 42 before
Jesty and Nicholas (16) added 34 in
15 overs. Good varied bowling, on a
slow pilch, kept the scoring down
until Jesty cut loose with strong
drives to complete 50 in 29 overs
and 1 13 minutes. With Pocock, 50
was put on in I i overs and the fifth
pair, driving strongly with much
confidence, steered their side to
victory with seven overs to spare.
Jesty’s unbeaten 76 contained
nine fours in 159 minutes and won
him his seventh gold award. Pocock,
after three successive noughts, hit
six boundaries in his 43 not out
Osman made counties* top score of gp

Captains upset at umpires’ decision
Middlesex's Benson and Hedges
Cup * match against Combined
Universities was abandoned by the
umpires. Ray Juiien and Nigel
Lewis, when they took a brief look
at the sodden Lord's ground
yesterday. But the decision to rail it
off as early as 9.15 am upset the
captains, Mike gatting and Steve
Henderson, who expected to be
consulted first.
Gatting, the Middlesex captain,
and Henderson discussed with Alan
Wright, the Middlesex secretary,
and Col John Stephenson, the MCC
secretary, whether the umpires had
acted correctly. Mr Wright said;
“Although the umpires* decision
seemed the right one. in view of the
conditions, the captains were not
consulted or informed. Mike
Gatting even thought a 10 overs a
side game might have, been possible
later in the day. Wc have been
searching the laws to see if a
contravention of rules was made by
the umpires."
Neither Ganing nor Henderson
would comment. Middlesex took
one point from the game, as they did
when their match with Glamorgan
was washed out at Uxbridge on
Wednesday. This ensured their
qualification for the quarter-final
round. A win for Universities could
have kept them in contention for a
qualifying place.
With their home match =» gnin*i
Scotland washed out. the weather
seems to have put paid 10
Leicestershire's chances of progress-
ing. Two of the county's four
qualifying games have been spoiled
by rain, and their striking rate does
not look sufficient to see them
through to the quarter-finals
Leicestershire will suffer under
the rule that says their efforts in-
restricting Gloucestershire to 59 for
one off 27 overs during a void
match last weekend will count
towards the overall striking rate.
Leicestershire's captain. Roger
Tol chard, said: “It’s all been soul-
destroying really, but I remember
one year wc went on and won the
Benson and Hedges Cup by going
through from the qualifying stage on
the striking rate, but this year it
looks as if we're out.
“It’s bad luck, but these sort of
i hinge have a habit of levelling
thmselves out in the course of a
season and. hopefully, when our
luck changes, well be in there uyin-
to win something else".

Southgate trounce French champions in fine start
From Sydney Frisian
The Hague
Southgate.
Amiens —
-5
..0
Southgate made a heartening start
in their attempt to regain tins
European dub championship by
trouncing the French champions.
Amiens, on a superb artificial turf
pitch here yesterday.
Although plagued by fitness
problems, Southgate prospered by
concentrating on high-speed attack
along the flanks ana by being in
readiness to receive the hard centres
despatched from these areas. Three
goals scored in tins manner
suggested that a lot of practice bad
gone into perfecting the ploy.
Vigorous tackling and some
strong running, particularly by
Batchelor, sent Southgate into iheir
stride. The French, who were well
fortified at the back, resisted
stubbornly until the 22nd minute
when a dash down the left by
Thomas and a centre by Batchelor
led to a well taken goal, the lunging
stick of Moulton putting the
finishing touch.
Amiens responded by forcing a
short corner which summoned
Owen to make two smart saves
before Southgate took play again to
the other end, their anxiety being
relieved when Thomas was on hand
to make contact with a free hit from
the right by Moulton, in a flash the
ball landed in the net.
Early in the second half Moulton
was replaced by Wesicott, who soon
began to make deep inroads into the
French defence. Picking up a nice
pass from the left by Batch dor, he
came near to a score. Then, in the
14th minute, Thomas scored almost
on his own. At that stage Amiens
looked a well-beaten side, their
attacks having been retarded
because of the immobility of their
aging centre forward, Chapon, who
was eventually replaced- Their
gloom deepened when Batchelor
scared the fourth goal in the 16th
minute, sutning an attack himseU
and scoring offSpray’s return pass.
Towards the end Southgate
earned their seventh short comer
when Batchelor was tripped outside
the circle, but Craig's shot was well
saved by the goalkeeper. Then,
almost on time. Westcott scored the
best goal of the match, brilliantly
diverting a centre from the right by
Wallace into goaL i
The only (dots on Sombgsie’s
performance were two yellow cards,
one given to Spray for hitting the
boll away after the whistle was
blown, and the other to Kerly for
questioning. Continental umpires
are excessively strict on these issues
and Somhgaie mast learn to curb
the impetuosity

Clerc the
first
victim of
new rule
From A Special Correspondent,
Rome
A funny thing happened on the
way to the Foro Italico. My bus
driver, annoyed by the constant
attempts of a waspish Fiat to
overtake him, squeezed the tiny
yellow bug into the stone wall of the
Cone (Thalia. Later yesterday, Jose-
Luis Clerc, the Argentine who is
seeded second here, tried to buck
the Italian Open and was merciless-
ly squashed for him impudence.
Gere was given a harsh double-
dose of punishment tnr being ejected
from the quarter-finals of the singles
after foolishly walking off court
during a doubles row on Thursday
evening and he must find what
solace he con from the thought that
his infraction will undoubtedly find
its way into the record books.
Never before has a -player been
automatically defaulted from a
singles event after walking off ooun
during a doubles match. Only this
year has a rule been introduced
which allows such a penalty to be
imposed.
Clerc walked out after he and his
partner. Pablo Anaya of Peru,
became embroiled in an argument
with their opponents, John Ale-
xander and John FitzGerald of
Australia.
The relevant rule reads: “A player
must complete a match in progress
unless he is reasonably unable to do
so. Violation . . . shall subject a
player to a fine up to 33,000. In
addition a violation . . . shall subject
a player to immediate default and
shall also constitute the major
offence of 'aggravated behaviour 1
and be subject to additional
penalties.”
Clerc will appeal but the case
holds out all kinds of possibilities
for the long overdue dean-up of the

The -Agoentine claimed that his
rivals were wasting so much time
chewing the rag that the sweat was
drying on his back in the chill of
Roman dusk, aggravating an old
injury.
After a prolonged press- confer-
ence, at which uerc complained
that double standards were being
applied over the rules. Kurt Nielsen,
the men's International Professional
Tennis Council supervisor, said that
he would announce a fine to be
imposed tomorrow. If the fine is
severe, Clerc may also be suspended
and consequently be could be
prevented from appearing in the
Davi$ Cup tie against Italy in Rome
in July.
Clerc walked off court, he said,
because he was worried about his
back in view of his singles match the
following day. But he admitted he
had never read the rules.
Mr Nielsen said he had no choice
but ■'to default Clerc. “It does not
indicate a new tougher attitude by
officials towards players**, the
supervisor said.

Miss Durie’s play flops
again in same theatre
From A Special Correspondent, West Berlin
For the second successive year Jo her fcmguahe. at times of frustration,
let a lot to be desired. In the event,
Dune lost a match she was expected
to win with ease at the German
Open in West Berlin yesterday. A
year ago the British No 1 was beaten
by Duk Hee Lee, of South Korea,
ranked 40 places below her in the
world. Yesterday she fell to Pam
Casale. of the United States, ranked
61, at the same stage and on the
same court of the Rot- Weiss Tennis
Club here.
The patience and concentration
Miss Dune showed throughout this
week vanished as she was beaten 6-
2, 6-1 in just an hour and four
minutes. Muss Durie, aged 22,
played badly from the start of the
match, losing the first three games
and failing to hold her service in two
of them, and she never really
improved as her more adventurous
all-caun game let her down.
Striking ground strokes over the
haviing and volleying into the net
were the morm. as opposed to the.
rarity they should have been, and at
one stage. 1-2 in tire second set, she
made four consecutive errors from
weak second service.
Miss Casale, who now plays the
top seed. Chris Lloyd, in the
quarter-finals, was more -than
fortunate to finish the match and
the umpire, John Relf gave her only
one warning for an “audible
obscenity”. Presumably, he felled to
hear others. Another warning from
the tournament referee, who was
not at conrtside, would have led to
her being defaulted. Miss Casale
kept quiet after that warning and
survived.
The defending champion. Betti na
Bunge, of West Germany, also
moved into the quarter-finals with a
convincing 6-2, 6-4- victory against
Carling Bassett aged 15, of Canada.
She now feces the unseeded Kathy
Horvath, of the United States.

# Regina Maraikova, formerly
Czechoslovakia's top woman tennis
player, is playing again after serving,
seven months of a three-year prison
sentence for dangerous driving. She
was released on February 15 after a
pardon from ftesidem Husak.
According to Jan Kokal, the
Czechoslovak Davis Cup captain,
Mrss Marsikova is unlikely to rqjoin
the world circuit until the beginning
of next year.
Me Enroe still undecided
John McEnroe, the second seed
for the French Open men's singles
championship, which starts on
Monday, is a doubtful starter
because of a shoulder injury,
Philippe Chattier, the French
play. Chattier said at the draw for
the championships;.
In principle McEnroe will play.
But his doctor has advised him that
be may have problems with his
shoulder if he plays to win, and if he
wants to go to Wimbledon, Chattier
said.
McEnroe. 24, had a frustrating
time last year, losing his Wimbledon
singles crown to compatriot Jimmy
Connors and generally felling to
recapture the form that has made
him the most exciting player of his
generation. This year however, he
has been back to his best, although
bis on-court outbursts have ma*y
him increasingly unpopular.
Connors, who has entered the
tournament on a wfld card, has been
seeded No 1, after originally saying
that at 30 he was too old to play on
day.

ATHLETICS
In search of Helsinki
Hugh Jones continues his come-
back arid his striving for the vacant
marathon triace in Britain's team for
the world championships in Helsin-
ki with a 10- mile read race in
Switzerland this afternoon. Jones
has been Britain's leading road
runner for the last two years, but a
series of injuries following his
victory in the 1982 London
Marathon have restricted his
performances.
But the selectors, who have
already nominated Mike G ration
and Geny Hclrne, (he first two in
this year's London Marathon, and
Joyce Smith, Glynnis Pe nn y and
Kaifa Binns for August's world
championships, wisely left the last
men's place open for Jones to
attempt to prove his- fitness.
Jones won his first half-marathon
in almost a year in east London
three weeks ago. but a hard course
and high winds kept his time well
below his best. In today's race in
Berne, he takes on the Swiss runner,
Markus RyfTcl, who won last year
when Jones was third. Julian
Goatcr. another leading British
runner who has been suffering from
injuries this winter, is also
competing. If all goes well for Jones
today, he intends * to seek the
Helsinki qualifying time of 2hr
I7min in the Stockholm Marathon
on June 4.
The domestic trade and field
season has begun gently, with the
first modest peak to come the
following weekend with the UK
Dosed Championships in Edin-
burgh. But elsewhere, not least the
United States, the first world
championships season has opened
dramatical] y. Carl Lewis;- the man
most likely the break the "unbea-
table’' 8.90 metres long jump of Bob
Beamon, has come within .01 see ot
breaking another world record set at
the Mexico Olympics in 1 968.
He ran 9.96scc for 100 metres last
Saturday, and Jim Hines's 9.95scc,
set at altitude which helps the so-
called explosive events, looks in
jeopaxdy. Also in California, Tom
PetxanofT ended 20 years of
Scandinavian and East European
hegemony with an outstanding three
metre im p rov e ment on the wprld
javelin record, taking it to 99.72m.
In Bucharest, just one centimetre
was sufficient for Anisoara Custnir
to break the women's long jump
world record of 7.20m, set by her
compatriot, Vali Toncsco last year.
Thai record looks like staying in
Romania.

In search of a trendy straight jacket
Leisure wear for all the family,
you will oot be surprised io
learn, is here to stay; and
children, according to the trade,
will forever be in blue jeans -
the most serviceable garment to
be invented since the jumper.
If you and your pre-lee nage
daughters are followers of
fashion you will also know that
pastels are “in'’ this year and
that no female from five to 50
should be without baggy jogging
suit, blouson jacket, straight-
necked top and easy shoes in
“palest pink, lemon yellow,
softest blues and greens with a
touch of turquoise thrown in" -
according to one fashion
pundit.
Mothers will probably also be
asked to purchase at least one
“very traditional dress in floral
print or muted candy stripe -
tucked, smocked, waisted, be-
ribboned".
Boys will be wearing simil ar
clothes (apart from the dress)
but in “stronger" colours - lots
of grey. red. blue, white, khaki.
And according to the Junior
Man section at Harrods. seer-
sucker is the hot fabric for 1983
■ and anything sporting zip-out
sleeves.
Buyers at Marks & Spencer
and Harrods lell me that
children are becoming increa-
singly demanding about the
clothes they choose to wear.
Gone are the days (did they
ever exist?) when they wore
what you told them to or
thought suited them. In their
wake has come a generation of
little girls who want to look
“just like mummy" (Marks &
Spencer) or “like their big
sister" (Harrods) and of boys
who “if they are fashion
conscious - and more and more
are - look for definite names
and styles and will not accept
substitutes” (Harrods).
None of which actually is
new. if mummy is half-way
pretty, daughter has always
tried to emulate her (witness
those dreadful bikinis worn by
little girls years before they have
anything to cover). And as any
parent who has tried to palm a If
a substitute fix’ a Lonsdale trade
suit or Coq Sporrif football
boots will know, children are
often every bit as snobbish
about labels as their elders.
Fashion-consciousness, if it is
there at all. usually starts soon
after the child has learned to
talk. Sometimes a refusal to
wear a particular garment can
be put down to the f 2 ci that it is
uncomfortable - too tight,
“scratchy", too many buttons -
but as often it is simply the
result of genuine dislike. (Cast
your mind back and I guarantee
you will remember at least one
dress, jumper, pair of trousers
that you loathed for no rational
reason except perhaps that it
was. however slightly, out of
style.)
Most children are ultra
conformist: they want to look
like their peers (and for you to
do likewise) and anything that
singles them out. unless it
provokes envy, is shunned. So
the poor boys who still have to
make tbeir wav to prep schools
wearing knickerbockers or the
girls whose mothers turn them
out looking like Ovakinies
(there are still some about) may
develop a tough carapace to
shield them from ridicule - and
will also probably acquire
massive inferiority complexes.
There are of course excep-
tions - the children who do not
give a fig what they wear and
those whose eccentricity of
dress amazes you. 1 knew one
little girl who for three-and-a-
half-years would wear only
football boots and would froth
at the mouth if forced into
anything else. She turned up at
her father's first major one-man
show (he is a painter) in a Laura
Ashley number, complete with
straw hat - and of course the
football bools. And stole the
show.
Another eight-year-old equal-
ly determined to wear what he
likes is a* far greater embarrass-
ment to bis parents (a late
1 960s' pot-smoking couple)
when he insists on wearing a
suit, tie and waistcoat even to
go shopping. “He looks like a
ventriloquist's dummy and his
friends think he's really goofy.
but what can I do?" wails his
mother.
The answer is. not a lot -
unless she is prepared to do
battle and enforce her will, as
another friend does with a 12-
year-old daughter. The latter's
fashion sense is strong but
completely at variance with her
mother's. “1 may be ruining her
psyche, but I'll do anything -
bribe, steal or hide the offending
article and if that fails threaten,
rather than go out with her
looking a mess.”
1 suspect that this mother has
many supporters. And that
most of their children will be as
fashionably dressed this year as
they allow. But before you
condemn your son’s pink hair
and tramp trousers, or your
daughter’s ra ra which reveals
far more of her over-chubby
thighs than you deem attractive,
ask yourself what you were
wearing when you were young.
Beehives and winkle pickers
possibly, or minis so short that
your father told you you would
be arrested, or worse- But that
was a long time ago - and when
you are young, anything, includ-
ing fashion, goes.

The constituents of the average
ploughman's lunch axe only too
familiar: cheese, pickle, crusty
bread, a token salad. Luckily
the new British film called The
Ploughman's Lunch offers far
more novelty. This is the first
cinema film by the stage and
television director Richard Eyre,
and the first cinema script by
the award-winning writer lan
McEwan.
The film also opens the
production schedule of a new
company, • Greenpomt Films,
formed largely by talents ex-
perienced in tele vision - direct-
ors Christopher Mnrahan, John

writer-director David Hare;

growth of the scientific ap-
proach to botanical study. “The
Discovery of Nature”, as the
show is felicitously called,
opens on Wednesday at Eyre &
Hobhouse, 39 Duke Street St
James's, London SW J , - and
closes on June 1 7.
It is especially appropriate
that it should be beld at this
venue, as Eyre A -Hobhouse are
known for their interest in the
work which Indian artists did
for British patrons, and some of
the most stunning botanical
drawings now known to us were
done in the late eighteenth and
early nineteenth century by
Indian draughtsmen working
for British patrons. A few of
these drawings are to be found
in the show, and there is also a
. spectacular series of sheets

Collecting/botanical drawings
Where art adorns a science
under European supervision.
Skilful as these Oriental
artists were, it is perhaps
necessary to emphasize that the
scientific depiction of plants is
jn fact a wholly European
invention. There is no prece-
dent for it in either the Indian
or the Chinese tradition, even
though so-called “bird and
flower” paintings play quite an
important pan in the history of
the Chinese school, from Sung
times onward.
In Europe accurate represen-
tations of specimen plants and
flowers began to be made long
before the whole matter of
botanical classification was
settled. In seventeenth-century
Holland an important source of
patronage was provided by bulb
dealers and nursery men, who
wanted to advertise their wares
- chiefly tulips and carnations.
Some of the early drawings
included in the show seem to
fall into this category.
It was Linnaeus who changed
the chaos botany was in to
order. His system of classifi-
cation was based, on the
arrangement of sexual organs
inside the flower, and be
provided plants with two Latin
names, one of which denoted
the larger group to which it
belonged - the genus - while the
other designated a sub-group -
the particular species.
One of Linnaeus's most
important collaborators was a
young German draughtsman
called Georg Dionysius Ehret
The show at Eyre & Hobhouse
contains a group of unfinished
drawings or sketches by him,
one inscribed “This specimen I
received of Sir Hans Sloane,
1747”.
Equally fine is a group of four
drawings on vellum by the
French artist Pancrace Bessa,
born in 1772 and one of the
chief followers of Redoubtfe. He
eventually became' the official
painter to the Music d'Histoire
Nature lie in Paris. These four
drawings, all of them ravishing-
ly decorative, have .an ex-
tremely grand provenance —
they were given by Charles X of
France to the Duchesse de
Beni, and then passed to the
collection of her sister, the
Empress of Brazil.
The most spectacular items
in the show, however,- are
undoubtedly the superb sheets
by early nineteenth-century
artists. Part of their attraction is
that they depict exotic species -
the Coral Tree; the Musk
Mellon, the. Tree Peony - but
even the style seems to strike a
subtly exotic note. Somehow
the way in which the- specimen
is arranged on the ;page, the
rhythm of leaves and stems and
flowers and ftuit, make one
immediately certain, even with- .
out consulting the catalogue,
that these cannot be by a
European hand. One can-find in .
this fad (I certainly do) l a kind'
of backhanded proof that the
best botanical drawings do
continue to be art - the
aesthetic - impulse is never
completely subordinated.
Fine botanical drawings are'
now rising rapidly in price. At
Eyre & Hobhouse prices' begin
at about £350 and rise td about
£7,000.

Chess
Home-made prodigies of the board
There seems to be a recurrent
feature in the lives of young
chess prodigies; that of learning
how to play through watching a
relative, often rather or an
uncle, play the game.
The four-year-old Capablan-
ca learnt chess through watch-
ing his father play a friend, and
the story is echoed by that
relating to the Russian chess
genius Garry Kasparov, who
picked up chess just by watch-
ing his parents at the board.
The story came to light in an
inteview with Kasparov by the
Russian master Vatnikov in the
April issue of Schack, an East
German magazine that specia-
lizes in Russian chess. Appar-
ently, Garry was all set to go to
music school, but once his
startling skill' was revealed - he
was able to supply the solution
to a chess problem that had
tormented his parents for hours
- he was sent to a chess club .
instead. Kasparov regards this
as his first chess success. His
further progress is legendary.
Asked by Vatnikov what he
had wished to. achieve in the
Interzonal tournament at Mos-
cow he replied, -“My aim in
every tournament has always
been - the same; to play good
chess”.
“Is it of any particular
importance?”: Vatnikov went
on, “that you already have to
meet grandmaster Alexander
Belyavsky m the quarter-finals*
of the Omdidates?” “Of course,
from the point . of view of
preparation! Belyavsky is a very
strong 'opponent, but even
before the- draW X thought ft was
much the same, whomever'.!;
met first”, ■'
Asked, whom be thought he
would meet if he beat Belyav-
sky, Kasparov replied that it-
depended on the result of the'
match between Portisch and
Korchnoi and in that match he'
was reckonihg on a win for the
Hungarian grandmaster.
- If however, Korchnoi were
to come through successfully
then he, Kasparov; could point
to his win with the Black pieces
over Korchnoi in the 1982
Olympiad at Lucerne. The
semi-final match w31 in feet be
between Kasparov and Kor-
chnoi, and the odds must surely
be on Kasparov. His play
against "Belyavsky in the quar-
ter-finals was very, convincing.
Here is how he won. the ninth
and final game of the march.

By Oht Financial Staff
Massey Ferguson's United

part of the Canadian-based
worldwide Massey organiza-
tion, is set to return to profit
this year after two years of
heavy losses.
The board of the United
Kingdom company, which has a
turnover of £609m a year, said
that as a result of a £390m
rcfinacing package' agreed 1 for
the Massey organization, the
British group should return to
profit during the year.
This follows yesterday's
announcement of pretax losses
of £35.4m in the-. 15 months to
January 31. The figures include
extraordinary costs associated
with the reorganization of the
business including the redun-
dancies which followed the
closure of the Massey factory at|
Knowsley in Cheshire.
The results were also affected
by poor trading conditions!
despite an end to the four-year
decline in United Kingdom
tractor sales. Massey's UKI
tractor sales were up by 33 per|
'cent compared with 1981 which
restored the company's position
as market leader, while sales of]
industrial tractors increased by

The offer will straddle the

The group announced that
for the year ending last March it
increased its pretax profits from
£51. lm to £63.3m. an improve-
ment of 24 per cent. But
substantial extraordinary items
of £28. 2m which related mainly
to rartionalization costs, helped
to reduce profits attributable to
shareholders to £3. 3m.
Mr Hogg, who pointed out
that in the past three years the
British workforce had fallen
□early 40 per cent to about
50,000, said he thought that the
worst was over as far as
restructuring went but it was
too early to say this with
confidence.
The improvement in pretax
profits arose mainly from better
productivity in Britain, where it
traded against a background of
unchanged volume sales and of
costs rising faster than selling
prices.
Trading profits in Britain
rose from £18.5m to £35. 5m,
but profits overseas fell from
£51. lm to £45.8m. The severe
recession in the shipbuilding
industry had an adverse effect
on the group's International
Paint offshoot, where pretax
profits fell from £29.9m to
£24. 6m.
Mr Hogg said that “underly-
ing conditions favour us more
now than for some time past: if
they persist they will give us a
welcome boost along the road to
improved trading perform-
ance".

has lifted furnishing sales and
the rest seems to be coming

but this reflected stock prob-

situation is now improved
allied to lower interest rates and
the improvement should con-
tinue to show through in the

The board emphsizes that the
profit improvements have been
achieved in a difficult year for
retailing. Part of the attack on
operating costs has “shop in

operators and a growing num-
ber of interna! specialist com pa -

increased efficiency, the board
says.

Markets stores to Linfood at
separate meetings on June 10.
Mr ' Monk originally att-
empted to takeover the whole of
Fitch Lovell by mounting an
£87m takover bid last October.
The bid was referred to the
Monopolies Commission and
Fitch announced a separate deal
to sell Key Markets to Safeway
for £34.8m.
Mr Monk eventually topped
the Safeway offer. He said
yesterday that the potential of|
Key Markets under Linfood’s
retailing management justifies
the offer.
In a letter to Linfood
shareholders he indicated that
Linfood’s retailing activities
generated United Kingdom
sales of £46 6m and pretax
profits estimated at £11.5m in
the year to April 30. These
profits would be the major force
in contributing to pretax profits
of £16.5m for the year.
Last night, Safeway declined
to comment on whether
intended to renew its interest in
acquiring Key Markets before
the June shareho] derm ee tings.
Trident merger referred
By Our Financial Staff
The shares of Trident Tele-
vision fell 7p to 79p yesterday
when Lord Cockfield, Secretary
of State for Trade, announced a
widely expected decision to
refer its planned £50m merger
with P leasu rama for investi-
gation by the Monopolies and
Mergers Commission.
Pleasurama’s failure to disen-
tangle its complex relationship
with Grand Metropolitan, was
dearly an important factor in
the decision. GrandMet owns
nearly 30 per cent of Pleasura-
.ma's shares and the two
companies also have a joint
interest in two London casinos.
The three groups would
together have 1! of London's 18
casinos and about 60 per cent of
the total ‘drop’ - the amount of
money exchanged for chips.
Yesterday's decision followed
the advice of Mr Gordon
Borne, the Director General of
the office of fair trading.
Chairman complains of too much talent
ICl problems ‘are our fault’
By Jonathan Davis
Mr John Harvey-Jones, the
chairman of ICI, is pinning
responsibility for the company's
problems over the Iasi few years
firmly on the failings of its
talented - even ovenalented -
management.
“I think that this company
has take n a disproportionate
share of British management
talent for a great many year, and
not turned in the performance
that the talent should have
achieved." he ays in an
interview with The Director
magazine, published yesterday.
“That is partly because we
have had too many people, and
having too many bright people
is almost worse than having too
few. People may stop things
happening rather than start
things happening.
-We have had very able
management. It therefore, we
havcrailed to perform -and we
have - that says something
about the leadership, the direc-
changes since he took over as
chairman were geared to im-
prove the efficiency of the
board.
“I come from a military
upbringing and background and
one or the things that was
drummed into me as a boy was
that there are no bad troops.
There are only bad leaders."
Top management at ICI had
been cut by a third in Mr
Harvey-Jones’ efforts to shorten!
the company's excessively long!
chain of command.
Mr Harvey-Jones says that
most ICI management have
spent most of their lives in the
company, and have little con-
bow other companies run
organization of themselves. We lendtothink
that the way we do things is not
only the best way, but the onlv
way."
Mr Harvey-Jones says that
fluctuations have in
three years become the most
important factor governing
ICI S investment decision mak-
ing,
Harvey-Jones: “too
many bright people 1 *
lion and the
these people.”

Move to oust Sturla director
Shareholders of Sturla Hold-
ings, the finance group whose
shares were suspended in
March, are being asked to
support Mr Robert Knight, the
company's chairman, who faces
fraud charges, at an extraordin
ary meeting on June 9.
Mr Knight, who is banned by
court order from the premises
of the Sturla finance group, is
proposing tbar Mr David
Britton, the managing director,
should be removed from Office.
He also proposes that Mr
Roger Peters should be
oppointed a director in his place
and that Mr Clive Hamtiton-
Mudge should be appointed to
the Sturla board.
The proposals are in direct
By Andrew Cornelius
contradiction to an earlier
resolution from a group of
shareholders supporting Mr
Britton, to the affect that Mr
Knight should bere moved from
the board.
Mr Britton is running the
Sturla business in the absence of
Mr Knight and Mr Mosie
Hochenbach, the finance dir-
ector. who has not attended
recent board meetings.
Mr Britton said last night he
was pleased shareholders would
have the opportunity to sort out
the company's problems at one
meeting.
Share dealings in Sturla were
suspended pending announce-
ments on the ompany's long
overdue figures, boardroom
changes and a loan relating to a
property development in Spain.
The company’s affairs are
further complicated by police
charges which have been lev-
elled agsinst Mr Knight on two
counts. He has been charged
with conspiring to defraud
financial institutions and given
conditional bail, and separately
charged with conspiring to
defraud Sturla Holdings and its
shareholders.
A court order barred Mr
Knight from attempting to
remove Mr Britton as managing
director, and from attending the
company's premises, before
shareholders had been given a
chance to vote on proposed
board changes .at an extraordi-
nary meeting.
Bid hopes boost Dunlop shares
Shares of Dunlop Holdings,
the loss-making tyre manufac-
turer. surged to within a whisker
of the year's high yesterday as
the stock market braced itself
for a full bid from the Far East-
Heavy buying of the shares
for the new stock exchange
account saw them close 13p

By Michael Clark
buyers this week, tilling the
share price from Monday’s
opening level of 53p. At 76p,
the group is valued at £109m.
Gafar Abdul Baba's Pegi
Multi Purpose is being hotly
tipped as the most likely
candidate to make a bid. Only
last month he spent £I3.5m
increasing his stake from 16.7
per cent to 26 per cent.
Dunlop has always main-
tained it is on the best of terms
with Pegi, which had increased
its holdings only to consoldate
its position in the group.
But with profits collapsing
from £54m to a loss of £7m in
the past five years, the group
looks an easy target for a bid.
The last net asset value showed
a figure of 1 72p a share, but to
this must be added debts
totalling £400m against share-
holders funds of £2S0m.
Meanwhile, there was also
heavy new time support for
shares of P & O, one of the most
famousnames in shipping,
which continued to scale new
heights while awaiting the
expected bid from Trafalgar
City Comment
Assessing
the value
of assets
Growth or assets? It has
long been a bone of
contention among inves-
tors, whether It is more
profitable to follow com-
panies on the Stock Ex-
change that have proven
success or those with
dramatic if problematical
potential for recovery.
The combination of high
share prices, promise of
economic recovery’ and a
spate of takeover bids has
sharpened the argument.
The recession has
proved yet again what
many people tend to forget:
assets are worth what they
earn and a closed-down
factory is probably worth
less than the land It sits
on.
Translating this into
stock market terms, there
are quite a few companies
standing at a considerable
discount to their “net asset
value”. On the other hand,
in a bull market there are
plenty of market favourites
whose profits have grown
throught the recession.
While speculators arc
jobbing in and out of the
market before the election,
corporate men are running
their desk top computers
over companies with high
book asset value, poor
trading performance and a
depressed share price.
BTR's bid for Thomas
Tilling, Trafalgar House's
move on P & O, and
Hestair's bid for Duple
International are just hree
examples of what the
victim companies wonld
call “‘opportunist” bids.
But what are markets for?
Before the BTR bid Tilling
shares were standing at
I23p, and quite apart from
the share offer share-
holders are now offered
225p cash.
Those who keep their
assets intact will be highly
geared for recovery in any
economic upturn. But more
bids are likely to turn up
before then.

Overseas trusts
Savings
Why the rich are set
to run for their
bolt holes in Bermuda
a deal has been completed in
i he last few weeks which ties up
the assets of one of our most
famous tilled families in a
Cayman Islands Trust.
Fear that a Labour govern-
ment might introduce prohibi-
tive raxes of tax and the return
of exchange controls was The
motivation behind the move.
And there are many others who
will follow suit before the
election.
People who move iheir
money abroad, and those who
make' the arrangements for
them to do so. are more than
usually reticent about their
activities.
However, virtually all the
large firms of i and
accountants ccn ’ .» with
a Cayman Isiui.. ,.,:i or a
similar arrangement in the
Bahamas. Bermuda or the
British Virgin islands.' It is
relatively simple to do. The
merchant banks offer a similar
service.
Generally speaking, the tax
advantages of moving money
into an overseas trust are
minimal, though they may well
become greater if a more
stringent tax regime is intro-
duced in the United Kingdom.
The appeal lies in the
freedom to invest your money
where and how you please,
without penalty, and with the
benefit of low local taxation.
The example of what has
happened in France, where
tough exchange controls have
been introduced by the Mitter-
rand Government and investors
have no freedom to move
capital abroad, is sufficient to
prompt many United Kingdom
investors to run for cover.
Advisers say it is not worth
setting up an overseas trust
unless you have at least
£100.000 of free capital which
you are not going to need in the
foreseeable future.
It can be done for smaller
sums, but the annual manage-
ment charge, usually 0.5 to 1
per cent of the trust's value and
in some cases a minim um of
£750 a year, make it an
expensive exercise for sums
under the £ 1 00,000 ceiling.
Initial setting up costs are
about £1.000. though it may be
more if property is involved.
There will also be investment
management charges of about
0.5 per cent.
Two crucial decisions have to
be made. Where will the trust be
based and who will be the
trustee?
The Channel Islands and the
Isle of Man are generally
regarded as not being suf-
ficiently remote from the
United Kingdom or a left wing
government, which could use all
its weight to lean on hie islands'
governments to facilitate re-
patriation of United Kingdom
residents' funds.
The Cayman Islands, the
Bahamas. Bermuda Liechten-
stein and Switzerland are the
favourite bolt holes of the rich
and trusts based in these
countries are believed to be safe
from the clutches of govern-
ments.
But it is important to have a
trustee who is not susceptible to
any overt or covert pressure
from a British government The
offshore subsidiaries of United
Kingdom banks might succumb
to such pressure, or alterna-
tively the parent bank, to save
itself embarrassment or sanc-
tions. might sell off its offshore
subsidiary, and you could end
up with an unsatisfactory
trustee.
American banks tend to be
thought of as less than ideal
because of their huge presence
in the United Kingdom, their
interdependence with its banks
and the ease with which life
could be made difficult for them
in London.
In Bermuda most of the
trustee business finds its way to
Bank of NT Butterfield and
Son. which also has a branch in
the Cayman Islands.
In the Bahamas. Bank of
Nova Scotia is one of the more
popular trustee banks and the
Canadian banks generally pick
up a lot of this business.
Roy West Banking Corpor-
ation, a subsidiary of Royal
Bank of Canada and National
Westminster Bank, is based in
the Bahamas and has a neat,
off-the-peg trust available.
Minimum investment is
S 50.000 (£32,258). The disad-
vantage is that investments are
restricted to Roy West funds, or
bank deposits.
Anyone who wants to tie up
their money in an overseas trust
should lake professional advice
- but there are plenty of
advisers in this field and it is
not necessarily difficult or
expensive.

A nest
egg for
the early
bird
It is never too early to begin
saving, or for adults to start
young children on the road
towards good financial manage-
ment.
Many parents and other well-
meaning relatives like to give a
baby a nest egg for the future,
and as children grow they
usually want to save for
holidays, sports gear, clothes, or
to pursue their favourite hob-
bies. National Savings is one of
the most popular forms for
these relatively small sums and
can provide an investment
facility for most needs, what-
ever the financial circum-
stances.
As most children are non-
taxpayers, the investment
account of the National Savings
Bank is an obvious medium in
which to invest money for a
child. Interest is credited in full,
without deduction of tax at
source, and the rate of return
has always been highly competi-
tive. The present rate is 10.5 per
cent.
Accounts for children under
seven can be opened by a parent
or relative, with as little as £1.
As withdrawals are not nor-
mally allowed until the child
has turned seven, the donor can
be sure the money will stay
safely building op interest.
Children over seven can open
accounts. One month's notice is
required for withdrawals, and
this can act as a curb on over-
hasty encashment.
If deposits in the account are
a gift mom parents, as distinct
from other sources, any interest
over £5 is aggregated with their
income for tax purposes^

I nternational Growth Fund is Fram-
lington’s out-and-out capital growth
fund, investing sxngle-mindedly for capi-
tal appreciation on a world-wide basis.
It is a good choice for 1983*4: it con-
centrates in the United States but has
rite flexibility to shift the emphasis
elsewhere.
At present, 67% of the fund is inves-
ted in North America, 14% in the UK
and 18% in the Far East
■ The fund was . formed in October
1976. Since then .the price , of units has
risen 736% compared with 249% for the
FT All-Share Index.
Over the five years to 1st May Inter-
national Growth Fond was the best per-
former of the 36 international . funds
monitored by Money Management
magazine, turning £l, 000 into £4,005.
On 17 th May the offer price was
139.4p (Accumulation units 152.6p).
The estimated gross yield was 0.48%.
Income distributions are on June 15 and
December 15; but since the fund aims
purely for capital growth accumulation
units in which the income is reinvested
are recommended
The price of units and the income
from them can go down as well as up.
' LUMP-SUM INVESTMENT
Units can be bought using the coupon
or by telephoning 01-628 5181. The
minimum investment is £500. Units are
allocated at the price ruling when we
receive your order. There is a l%% dis-
count for orders over £15,000.
Applications are acknowledged and
certificates normally sent within 42
days. Units can be sold back at any .time;
payment is normally made on the day
we receive the renounced certificate.
MONTHLY SAVINGS
You can also invest by monthly direct
debit. The mmirmifp is £10 a month.
For £100 a month or more there is- a
bonus of 1% extra units.
Units are. bought at the offer price
ruling on 5th of each month. .Net
income is automatically reinvested for
you, using accumulation uniti Certifi-
cates are not issued, but every six
months you axe sent a statement of your
account and a report on your fund. -You
can cash in your plan at any rime ;
receiving the full bid value of- -the
accumulated units. ;

tion and send it to us with your cheque.

Specialization
the way to
Take care with ‘all-in’ cover
mElWuTi
Specialization has been all the
rage in the investment trusts
over the past few years, and the
old general trust has gone right
out of fashion. Their share
pnccs have wilted with neglect,
unless there'*** the prospect of
a bid or a unitization proposal
to put a bit of lift; back into
them.
in many cases the neglect was
justified., Too many trusts have
been run for too long to produce
a comfortable living for their
managers and an indifferent
performance for then 1 share-
holders; and too many still are.
However, among those that
have been slighted there are
some . that do not deserve such
treatment. Not only have they
fulfilled their own objectives -
to produce ’“Growth In capital
and income'’ - they have also
done better than many of the
highly fashionable and highly
priced specialists.
The table shows.- sis invest-
ment trusts that come into this
category. Each is the son of big,
old fund in which you might
expect the managers ' to be
asleep on their feet. Each of
them is selling on a discount
which reflects the market's
prejudices: it is well in excess of
the 28 per cent average discount
for general trusts, never min d
the 26 per' cent discount for
mists in general. Each of them
has a better than average record;
each has shares in which, it is
easy to deal: and - for anyone
who wants a lockaway invest-
ment - each of them looks like a
very good buy.
Alliance and Second Alliance
are run by the same' manage rs,
an independent company in
Dundee with an independent
view of life and investment
They bought very heavily into-
UK blue chips a couple of years
ago and have done very weD out
of the decision.
Foreign & Colonial is run by -
the management group of the
same name and has made out of
the r ad ical ' experiment in
currency management Philip
Hill has dime well out of UK
blue chips, Scottish Mortgage
(part of the Baiilie Gifford
stable) out of their US equiva-
lents and W han (which is
m a nage d by Henderson) out of
new technology ventures.
On a five-year view ah. of
.them have outperformed most
of the other general trusts, and
many of the' specialists. Of
course none of them is likely to
'produce the sort of ranm*ip g
performance that technology
specialist Independent has
come up with the past five
years: but then none of the
other technology specialists has
managed to match that either.
For those who tike to back
their own judgement by buying
the specialists, the AITC is
about to produce a welcome'
innovation. From next week it
wib be categorizing the trusts
that its members run by
specialization rather than by
management group as at pre-
sent. That should make it. much
easier to see at a glance what
trusts specialize in what areas. -
For the real enthusiasts the'

*by Wood Mrefcanzio •
The old insurance joke about
the policy covering you for
everything except what you are
claiming for could hardly be
truer in the case of Miss
Rosalind Potts, a student at
Magdalen College, Oxford.
Just before Easter she went
into travel agents Oxford
Student Travel and asked for a
package insurance policy to
covex her for a short holiday in
Paris. The travel shop was busy
and the assistant was anxious to
sell the policy.
Miss Potts read quickly
through the small print. “What
does it cover?” she asked.
“Everything”, came the reply,
so she handed over her
premium of £530 and took her
policy. ■
In Paris she had all her
money stolen. She went through
all the right motions, informing
the police of the therft and, as.
soon as she got bade to England,
put in a claim to the insurers,
Norwich Union.
To her surprise, her claim
was refused on the grounds that
the policy did not cover money
_ only personal effects. “But
there IS' nothing in the policy
expansions -to say that money is
not covered”, she pointed out.
Indeed, the assistant at
Oxford Student Travel seems to
have suffered the same miscon-
ception since be had confirmed
that “everything” was covered.
Miss Potts’s mother was., so -.
Incensed at’ Norwich ' Ijaion’s
refusal to pay that sbe wrote to
us on behalf of her daughter..
We took up the- matter-' with
Norwich Union which. has now
agreed to make an “ex gratia”
payment of £50.
Norwich Union concedes
that money is not specifically
excluded. And, in fairness, this
policy, put together by Accident
and General Insurance Brokers,
is not a standard Norwich
Union policy, box one devised
by the brokers which Norwich
Union agreed to underwrite.
But Mss Potts’s experience
- highlights a number of import-
ant insurance issues. Fust, bow
many thousands of these poli-
cies have been sold to unsus-
pecting students who believe
that they are covered fra loss of
money?
Mr Courteney Heath, of
Accident and General, has no
sales figures but confirms that
“probably half a dozen” univer-
sity student unions sell the
policy.
Second, consumers were
recently criticized by the In-
surance Ombudsman for not
taking^ enough, trouble to find
out what cover, was provided by
travel ’ poScies. But even when
they, do read the policy terms
and conditions, as Miss Potts
did, details of cover and
exetationsrare not necessarily
dear.
The British Insurance Associ-
ation confirms that the standard
package travel policy sold by
most of its member insurance
companies includes cover 'for
money. “It is very rare for a :
policy to make no mention of
money at all.” says an officiaL
The student travel specialist,
Endsleigh Insurance, says that
its 'standard student package,
does. nor cover loss of money- -
but this fact is stated quite
clearly in the list of exclusions.
What is Accident and Gen-
eral’s reaction to this? “Money
and travellers cheques are
always quoted separately from
personal effects,” says Mr
Heath. Would it not be useful
then to point out that this
particular policy did not cover
money?
“No 1 don’t think it would be
□sefoL If you go io those lengths
there would be no end to the list
of exclusions.” is the unhelpful
response from Mr Heath.
Norwich Union takes a much
more realistic view, is con-
cerned. . that holidaymakers
should not be misled and- says
that it will be looking into the
wording of this particular
policy, conceding that it could
be mismierpreted.
A third issue is whether
holiday insurance be sold by gj
unqualified personnel 'in travel “
agents: We cheeked out Miss’
Potts’s claim that she bad been
told die policy -covered her for
. money. .
“What ; does it cover?”
“Everything,” came the instant . .
reply. “What about money?” ?
“Oh well, it doesn't cover that
but. no policy covers money.”
Incorrect information again.
It is clearly better - that
holidaymakers -have insurance
cover of some sort rather than
no cover at ah
.But if a travel policy is to be
sold by mm-speciahst sales-
people, through ordinary retail
outlets, then the terms and
conditions should be capable of
being understood by even the
most financially naive cus-
tomer. It is not good enough for
the Insurance Ombudsman to
criticize holidaymakers for not
reading their policies, if the
policies -themselves, are vague,
unclear and foil to make any
mention of such obvious items
as money.
Finally, any. student who
bought one of these policies and
has had a claim for lost money
turned down should get in
touch with Norwich . Union I

INVESTORS' NOTEBOOK • edited by Sandy McLachlan
WALL STREET
Fears boost the case for gold
Gold bullion and shares have
more or less recovered from
their collapse in February, but
the excitement is restrained.
The signals, as always in this
touchy market, are contradic-
tory.
There is the expectation that
the bullion price will rise from
its present 5440 an ounce to
about S500 by the end of the
year. But this gain is likely to be
offset by rising mining costs and
the appreciation of the rand
against the dollar.
The case for a gold 'price
increase rests heavily on two
factors; inflation and fears
about the health of the world
financial system. One influen-
tial school maintains that
attempts to revive economic
activity will unavoidably accel-
erate the rate of price increases.
It points to persistent high real
interest rates of 4 to 6 per cent
as evidence.
To a certain extent, of course,
the argument depends on * the
currency of the investor. If the
gold price is tracked in Special
Drawing Rights, it was much
nearer to its high in February
than it was if measured by the
dollar price of S503. The
inherent rise in the price of gold
suggested by the SDR denomi-
nation should by a warning to
those anticipating a sharp dollar
rise later this year.
The almost complete absence
of speculators or boarders from
the present gold market is one
of its distinguishing character-
istics, and a major change from
the pattern of the late 1970s and

early 1980s. But while the
mining houses- profess not to
like the sometimes violent
swings in price caused by
speculative demand, they might
appreciate a little price stimu-
lation at the moment.
The South African mines,
particularly, axe suffering from
costs still rising by about 15 per
cent annually and, ironically,
the strengthening of the rand
against the dollar. Their results
in the June quarter will reflect
these influences.
At the same time yields have
fallen remarkably.
The resolution to the con-
undrum lies - as always with
gold - in the primitive psy-
chology of the market If there
are sufficient fears about the.
future, -justified or not, the gold
price will -go up.
For the moment, however, the
strategy is to stay with high
quality mines such as Driefon-
tien, Kloof; Vaal Reefes and
Western Deep Levels - and
watch the gold price with eagle
eyes. *
Gilts
The most notable thing to say
about the gilt-edged market this
week is that it has -done
virtually nothing. Few of the
ra^jor investors are prepared to
take a view of developments on
this side of -the Atlantic with
still more than two and a half
weeks to go to the election; and
there is considerable uncer-
tainty as to which way the US
interest rates are likely to go.
The latter is probably the.
most important factor. The
Republican-controlled Senate
has thrown- out - albeit by just
one vote - the latest Reagan tax
cut proposals on the grounds
that they might fuel inflation.
This is familiar ground: mone-
tarists versus pump-primers -
but with the checks and
fraianrre which exist in the US
political and financial system’ it
is difficult to predict just what
will happen next.
The London equity market
has been much more fun. The
word fun is used advisedly,
since although the market has
recovered its -nerve to the tune
of a 20-point-plus improvement
on the week, this has been
achieved on a low volume.
Again it seems that no one is
prepared to make any substan-
tial move - in front of the
election: the jobbers have been
more active with their blue
pencils <h»ri they have on their
books.
That, .-of course, is special
situations apart The takeover
bandwagon is gathering mo-
mentum fuelled by the sews
that Trafalgar House has an-
nounced a 5 per cent share stake
in P & O. -Predictably Trafalgar
will sot Jet on as to whether this
is a prelude to a full, bid - but
the whole market is -expecting
just that.
The mammoth d evelop ment
of the week was KIR'S in-
creased bid for Thomas Tilling
to a United Kingdom all-com-
ers* record of £664m. T illing is
still resisting strongly.

Mexico, fallowing a process of
argument which, if it were adopted by
a town council's housing committee,
would alm ost c ertainly end up in the
courts. Yet FIFA’s autocratic body are
beyond independent judgment or

FIFA yesterday allowed a US
Soccer Federation delegation includ-
ing Henry Kissinger, to travel here
from America to make a bid for the

more millions than even FIFA have

at their command.
As the Mexicans departed in an
orgy of self-congratulation one Ameri-
can - not Kissinger - muttered: “It is
absurd that they can take decisions of
this magnitude behind closed doors,
without malting an equal assessment
of aB bids. They have got away with it
for too long. Now they’ve got it
coming to them".
_ Both Dr Kissinger and^ the Cana-
dians, led by Jim Fleming, formally
wished Mexico well but the Cana-
dians issued a state ment saying: “We
regret the failure of FIFA to send its
sub-committee to all bidding coun-

Bach delegation were allocated 30
minutes. Canada, after 25. were
abruptly warned by Havelange: “You
have five minutes". Mexico followed.
Four of their six members were from
television. They were out in under
eight minutes or, as' a Canadian
observed, just about the time required
to shake hands with .the 20 members
of the executive committee.
In went the entourage led by
Kissinger, who had arrived by private
plane at 5 am. Havelange, prolonging
the insult, allowed the United States

seen to have been doomed weeks, if ’ s important that justice be done hour, dun
weeks, —
not months, beforehand. The ridicule
and insults to which Cana da were
equally subjected may prove -to have
been unwise, not to say unintelligent
To have utterly rejected the 50-
minute plea by Dr Kissinger, Pele and
the US soccer vice-president Werner
Fneker - to be granted not the finals
bat at least an inspection of facilities -
has deeply angered several Americans
on the sidelines of the charade which
took place yesterday who, at the touch
justice
and that it appears to be done. For
such a universal event it is encumbent
upon decision-makers to inquire and
to assess first hand the. nature and
capacity of all potential host nations."
The events of the day were little
short of farce, as improbable as
Charley's Aunt, but sadly predictable.
They cul mina ted with Joao Have-
lange, the FIFA president, announc-
ing: Mexico's appointment within 35
minutes of the concluskta of the
during which Dr Kissinger said
that the American case rested on its
merits, not on criticism of Mexico:
that there more young soccer players
than baseball playerrs in the United
States: and that where there were two
equal candidates the country which
had not previously staged the World
Cup. let alone done so 13 years ago,
should receive the competition.
Pele, in an emotional speech said:
“I have tom up my notes and am
speaking to you from the heart. I am a
child of soccer. I honestly believe that
the game urgently needs something
new, a fresh free, because everywhere
the game is under pressure from other
interests, from tennis, basketball and
so on. There is nothing new for the
game in Mexico or Italy. If Brazil, mv
own country, was a candidate, I
would still say stive it to the United
States because it is there that the game
can expand and gain fresh impetus."
But someone in the meeting said
that the committee looked at the
greatest player the game has ever seen
with bland, unfeeling eyes, as if be
were no more then a commodity, like
zinc or barley. Many of us bave long
known that FIFA have scant regard
for footballers, otherwise how could
they allow such abysmal refereeing,
such craven subservience to the
demands of television?
While the US delegation were in
the conference room the Mexicans
outside were already busy dismissing
the first-round grouping of matches
for 1986. Their president. Rafael Del
Castillo Ruiz, having been seen arm-
in-arm with Guillermo Caned o, the
Mexican member of the executive,
confidently stated: “We only needed
one minute. Our offer was the best.
The only one to satisfy FIFA
demands.” . Long before FIR. Vs
official statement tequila cocktails
were being prepared in the hotel lobby
for public celebration .
Harry Cavan, the FIFA vice-
president, having stated publicly
beforehand that he believed the
subcommittee were wrong not to have
visited all applicants, was embar-
rassed by the “unanimous" an-
nouncement: that showed where his
vote had gone, though he claimed he
had insisted on the losers being
informed of the vole before the
announcement. “Nice of you to let us
know you'd shot us, Harry" Canada’s
Minister of Sport R. J Perrault, said.
Kissinger: ruled offside
Hermann Neuberger. chairman of
the World Cup organizing committee,
who hopes lo succeed Havelange, not
only claimed that secret voting was
not undemocratic bat made great play
of the alleged failure of the US to
meet the March 1 1 arbitrary deadline
with their presidential and financial
guarantees. But as Phil Woosnam, of
the North American Soccer League,
said: “If that was the point on which
we failed then there was never any
point in our being here."
Canada and America each pro-
duced elaborate, documented bro-
chures of 90-odd pages. It was learnt
yesterday that Mexico's bid for the
- most valuable sporting event on earth
consisted of six foolscap sheets. That
suggests to most people that the
World Cup was never really pul out to
lender. Dr Kissinger diplomatically
insists: “We will not engage in any
criticism of FIFA's action" but from
the way his aides are talking 1 do not
think FIFA have heard the end of this
one.

“Rangers are at their best when they

hardly been revived this season and
perhaps the most difficult task of
their beleaguered ma nag e r, John
Greig, has been to restore morale
following the abysmal defeat by
Celtic at Ibrox last week. The result
could not have come at a worse time
for Rangers because, despite their
lamentable season, they had been
showing improved form.
However, to those who feel
Aberdeen have only to turn up to
win, Greig says: “Aberdeen are a
tine side but they are not invincible.
They are not machines and that was
shown when we beat them 2-1 at
Ibrox only a month ago”. Certainly
Rangers are furious at being
summarily dismissed by almost the
entire country and if the artistry of
Cooper, Belt and Russell is allowed
to flourish today they could turn it
into an engrossing contest.
Aberdeen's power and confi-

Wimbledon. His absence
through, suspension, which was
confirmed in the High Court on
Monday, significantly weakens
the case for their defense. It was
already open to' cross examin-
ation. Now it looks threadbare.

Brighton’s experience and
slender hopes rest on the tripod
of the sturdy Grealish and Case
and the more gentle and artistic
Smith. Much also depends on
the performance of the energetic
Robinson, their leading scorer,
but recently he has led an attack
whose ammunition has explod-
ed with all the ferocity of a
leaking water pistol.
United, by comparison are
embarrassingly rich in experi-
ence and talent. The lone
problem for their manager, Ron
Atkinson, was to fill the gap left,
by Coppell on the right. After
Robson, probably the most
complete all-rounder in Europe
who was crucially absent in
March, will take that role.

Jacklin establishes
a grumpy mood
for his celebration
By John Hamessy, Golf Correspondent
Tony Jacklin broke a huge log
jam on the second day on the Car
Care Plan golf tournament yester-
day. A 12 fool putt rolled obediently
home op the 18th for a score of 69,
one under par, and a two round
iota] of 1 34. He thus nosed ahead of
six other players sharing the same
elevated position of five under par
either in the club house or on the
course.
It ought, you might think, be a
moment for general jubilation and
mellow recognition of the difficult-
ies involved in preparing golf course
thi« year, but Jacklin used the
occasion, instead, for an attack on
several fronts. Why, be asked play
the first low tournemants in the
north? Why, in any case, play them
in different courses? And why not
prepare them more conscientiously?

Sussex hopes of reaching the
Quarter-final round in the Benson
TOdHedges Cup. with everything
dependent on their game with
Hampshire at Hove on Monday.
Essex failed to mount' the
challenge that might be expected
from an unbeaten side, but they are
already assured of a place in the last
eight. They resumed needing 162
from 43 overs but Pringle was the
only batsman to suggest that Sussex
might be extended.
' Accurate bowling by Greig and
Barclay imposed a tight rein on
Essex in the first hour and three
remarkable pieces of fielding by
Parker finally tilted the game
towards Sussex. Gould was given
the Gold Award for his batting on
Thursday by the adjudicator, Alec
Bedser.
Greig dismissed both overnight
batsmen. Hardie and McEwan.
when Essex resumed ai 47 for one,
during a spell in which he took two
for seven in six overs. Barclay,
flighting his off-breaks cleverly, had
two for 12 is eight overs at the other
end.
With successive balls Barclay had
Fletcher leg before and Phillip held
at mid-on by Parker, who took a
spectacular, leaping catch to his left.
Soom afterwrds Parker threw down
the stumps at the bowler's end
direct from cover as Pont back up to

When Turner mistimed a drive to
cover. Essex were 111 for seven
from 37 overs and in the middle of a
crisis. David East defended soundly
as Pringle unfurled a series of firm
strokes, leavened with two reverse
sweeps against Waller’s left-arm
spin that each brought three runs.
When be reached 30. and the score
1 36. Pringle was dropped off bare lay
at deep square leg but two lofted
Touts against Greig in the same over
kept Essex in the hunt.
Another astonishing pick-up and
throw by Parker, though ended the
eighth wicket stand. David East was
slow to set off for a single when the
ball struck his pads and Parker at
short fine legagain hit the bowler's
stumps direct from more than 30
yards. At lunch Essex needed 42
from seven overs bat Pringle drove
a high catch to long-off in the
afternoon's second over and Lever
was run out trying to snatch a single
from a leg-bye.

Nice weather for ducks
as the batsmen suffer
By John Woodcock, Cricket Correspondent
Worcester: match abandoned
And so it goes on. the storms
gening if anything heavier and more
frequent In conditions announced
as being unfit for first-class cricket
Worcestershire and Northampton-
shire tried at New Road yesterday to
get in a game in the Benson &
Hedges Cup. but it was no good.
They managed only 21.4 oven
before the min mocked their efforts.
The one point which went to each
side as a result of the abandonment
leaves four of the five counties in
Group B with a chance of qualifying
for the quarter-finals of the
competition. Everything depends on
today's matches. Should it be
possible to play them, between
Gloucestershire and Worcestershire
at Bristol and Northamptonshire
and Scotland at Northampton.
Play started yesterday at 1I.4S,
with Worcestershire put m. By the
end of the eighth over tb*y were 12
for five, Mallender having taken
three wickets and Kapil Dev two.
The pitch was not difficult, just
awkward. Mollrader’s first ball kepi
low and had Weston leg-before. In
the same over Patel was well caught
at first slip. Kapii Dev then bowled
Ormrod with a break-back and King
threw a stroke better suited to a
sunny Bridgetown day.
When D'Oliveini went, caught at
the wicket, there seemed a chance
that Northamptonshire might even
beat the elements. But at 22 for five.
there was a 20-minute stoppage and
as soon as play restarted, Hum-
phries, then four, survived a sharp
chance to backward short leg on
Kapil Dev.
With Neale, Humphries was
helping to pull Worcestershire
around when the first of two heavy
storms caused the match to be
abandoned. No sooner had a 10-
over scramble been scheduled to
replace it stoning perhaps u 3 pm,
than a veritable cloudburst washed
it out.
It was good to see Mallender
bowling successfully - he was a little
disappointing last season after
starting so well in 1981 - and it is
always a joy to watch Kapil Dev.
After six Test matches in the West
Indies, finishing barely a fortnight
ago. he called in at Northampton to
play a one-day game for them before
flying on to Bombay to help choose
India's side for the Prudential
World Cup. Now he is back again.

Surrey’s sleepwalkers
By Alan Gibson
CARDIFF: match abandoned.
Glamorgan (I pi), Surrey (Ipt).
I believe it was Lord Hanington.
in die 1980s. who dreamt he was
speaking in the House of Lords, and
woke up lo find he was. I was
reminded of this by the early Surrey
batting yesterday.
They still seemed unsure whether
they were awake, or in a morphean
twilight. This is not a criticism of
the batsmen, just an explanation. So
rarely have they had a bat in their
hands in real contest this season
that they could be forgiven for
thinking it was all a dream.
It must be said for Glamorgan,
however, that they had woken to the
alarm clock, sounded by their new
captain. SeJvey. He and Nash made
the ball swing, under the heavy
skies. and Surrey, after winning the
toss, batted languidly.
Clinton was leg-before in the first
over. Butcher and Smith progressed
uncertainly on a pitch which was
slow but of doubtful bounce. Smith,
trying to shake off caution, had a
heave at Nash and was leg-before at
25. After 16 overs, the score was
only 36.
Seivey brought on Lloyd, of
whom one still thinks as "the young
ofT-spinner". although be has taken
more than 200 wickets for
Glamorgan, and was barn at Neath
30 years ago. They grow their plants
to last at Neath: more stubborn
leeks than lovely, ephemeral
daffodils.
Lloyd bowled well, but it was
Nash who got the next wicket.
Butcher leg-before at 49. Nash
bowled his quota through, and
finished with 2 for 21. Neither
Knight nor Howarth looked at ease.
Knight was caught at the wicket off
Rowe, who also bowled off-breaks,
at 68.
Then it rained, but only for 10
minutes. All morning the clouds
had lain ominously about, and the
ground was already so soaked that it
only needed another storm to send
us home. We dodged it that time.
Lynch and Howarth began to put

BOURNEMOUTH: Hampshire (2
pis) beat Minor Counties by six
wickets.
Perhaps it was the unaccustomed
hot sunshine at Bournemouth but
Hampshire made hard work of
scoring 169 for iheir second Benson
and Hedges Cup qualifying victory
against Minor Counties. They won
by six wickets In 47.5 overs, but
were struggling early on when
G ire nidge was bowled by Davis for
1 3 and Smith was caught behind off
Pont for 0 with only 1 8 scored.
Turner was third out at 42 before
Jesty and Nicholas (161 added 34 in
15 overs. Good varied bowling, on a
slow pitch, kept the scoring down
until Jesty cut loose with strong
drives to complete 50 in 29 overs
and 113 minutes. With Pocock, 50
was put on in 1 1 overs and the fifth
pair, driving strongly with much
confidence, steered their side to
victory with seven overs to spare.
Jesty ’s unbeaten 76 contained
nine fours in 159 minutes and won
him his seventh gold award. Pocock,
after three successive noughts, hit
six boundaries in his 43 not out.
Osman made counties' top score of
36 and with Riddell put on 49 for
the sixth wicket to take the total to
168 for nine.

Captains upset at umpires’ decision
Middlesex's Benson and Hedges
Cup * match against Combined
Universities was abandoned by the
umpires, Ray Julien and Nigel
Lewis, when they took a brief look
at the sodden Lord's ground
yesterday. But the decision to call it
off as early as 9.15 am upset the
captains. Mike gatting and Steve
Henderson, who expected to be
consulted first.
Gatting. the Middlesex captain,
and Henderson discussed with Alan
Wright, the Middlesex secretary,
and Col John Stephenson, the MCC
secretary, whether the umpires had
acted correctly. Mr Wright said:
“Although the umpires' decision,
seemed the right one. in view of the
conditions, the captains were not
consulted or informed. Mike
Gatting even thought a 10 overs a
side game might have, been possible
later in the day. We have been
searching the laws to see if a
contravention of rules was made by
the umpires."
Neither Gatting nor Henderson
would com men L Middlesex took
one point from the game, as they did
when their match with Glamorgan
was washed out at Uxbridge on
Wednesday. This ensured their
qualification for the quarter-final
round. A win for Universities could
have kept them in contention for a
qualifying place.
With their home match against
Scotland washed out, the weather
seems to have put paid to
Leicestershire’s chances of progress-
ing. Two of the. county's four
qualifying games have been spoiled
by rain, and their striking rate-does
not look sufficient to see them
through to the quarter-finals
Leicestershire will suffer under
the rule that says their efforts in-
restricting Gloucestershire to 59 for
one off 27 overs during a void
match last weekend will count
towards the overall striking rate.
Leicestershire’s captain, Roger
Tolchard, said: “It’s all been soul-
destroying really, but 1 remember
one year we went on and won the
Benson and Hedges Cup by going
through from the qualifying stage an
the striking rate, but this year it
looks as if we're ouL
“It’s bad luck, but these sort of
things have a habit of levelling;
thmselves out in the course of a
season and, hopefully, when our
luck changes, we’ll be in there toyin'
to win something else”.

A firnn y thing happened on the

driver, annoyed by the constant
attempts of a waspish Feu .to
overtake him, squeezed the tiny
yellow bug into the stone wall of the
Corse dltalia. Later yesterday, Jose-
Luis Qerc, the Argentine who is
seeded second here, tried to buck
the Italian Open and was merciless-

Qerc was given a harsh doable-
dose of punishment by being ejected
from the quarter- finals of the singles
after foolishly walking off court
during a doubles row on Thursday
evening and he must find what
solace he can from the thought that
his infraction will undoubtedly find
its way into the record books.
Never before has a -player been

John McEnroe, foe second seed
for the French Open men's singles
championship, which starts on
Monday, is a doubtful starter
because of a shoulder injury,
Philippe Chattier, foe French
federation president, said yesterday.
McEnroe has booked his flight ami
hotel but has not decided if he will
play. Cha trier said at the draw for
the championships.
In principle McEnroe will play.
But his doctor has advised him that
he may have problems with his
shoulder if he plays to win, and if he
wants to go to Wimbledon, Cha trier
said.
McEnroe, 24, had a frustrating
time last year, losing his Wimbledon
singles crown to compatriot Jimmy
Connors and generally failing to
recapture foe form that has made
him foe most exciting player of his
generation. This year however, he
has been back to his best, although:
his on-court outbursts have made
him increasingly unpopular. .
Connors,wbo has entered the |
tournament on a wild card, has been ;
seeded No 1, after originally saying i
that at 30 he was too old to play on

Joyce Smith, Giymtis' Penny and
Kath Bin ns for August's world
championships, wisely left foe last
men's place open for Jones to
attempt to prove his- fitness.
Jones won his first half-marathon
in almost a year in east Loudon
three weeks ago, but a hard course
and high winds kept his time well
below his best. In today's race in
Berne, he takes on the Swiss runner.
Markus Ryfld, who won last year
when Jones was third. Julian
Goater. another leading British
runner who has been suffering from
injuries this -winter, is also
competing. If all goes well for Jones
today, he intends ‘ to seek the

on June 4.
The domestic track and field
season has begun gently, with the
first modest peak to come foe
following weekend with foe UK
Closed Championships in Edin-
burgh. But elsewhere, not least foe
United States, the first world
championships season- has opened
dramatically. Carl Lewis;- the man
most likely the break foe “unbea-
table" 8.90 metres long jump of Bob.
Beamon, has come within .01 sec of
breaking' another world record set at
foe Mexico Olympics in 1968. -
He ran 9.96sec for 100 metres' last
Saturday, and Jim Hines's 9.95sec,
set at altitude which helps foe so-
called explosive events, looks in
jeopardy. Also in California. Tom
Petranon ended 20 years, of
Scandinavian and East European
hegemony with an outstanding three
metre improvement on the wprid
javelin record, taking it to 99.72m.
In Bucharest, just one centimetre
was suffideut for Amsoara Cusmir
to break foe women’s long jump
world record of 7120m, set by her
compatriot, Vali Tonesqo last- year.
That record looks like staying in
Romania.

referring to Rosberg’s almost
uncanny car control when con-

which is reminiscent of «h p? of the
late Jocfaen Rindt and Ronnie
Peterson.
The Belgian driver. Thierry
Boutsen, making his formula one
debut in the second Arrows
previously driven by Chico Sena,
made an excellent start securing
eighteenth place in the 26-car line-
up and his drive for the remainder
of the season has been confirmed.

ing narrow-angle cylinder beads and
a number of magnesium castings
which have provided a further
weight-saving over the lighter DFY
engines first seen in the French
Grand Friz last month. Fuel
mixture problems yesterday pre-
vented the engine's foil potential
from being revealed and Albaretto
is only seventeenth in the list of
qualifiers.

Chris Amon.
The new'look dram takes in only
part of the original course, two legs
of which are now joined by an
undulating and twisting section of
challenging curves. These have been
designed with great inmiim im to
retain the traditional appeal of Spa
as a real test of driver ability but
without the unacceptable dangers of

The almost unanimous view of

yesterday should be capable of
improving considerably given an-
other opportunity on a dry circuit.
Another convert to turbo power has
been confirmed with the announce-
ment that the Ligier team win us?
Renault engines next year. Bm there
is more than a ray of hope on the
horizon for the nsers of non-turbo,
three-litre engines. Apart from thc-
fact that no refoeuing will be
allowed next year, the maximum'
fuel allowance will be reduced from'.
250 to 220 litres, with a further!
reduction to 195 litres in 1985. This-
suggesis that the tubos will have to-
be detuned to around 5S0bhp, by
which time the three litre engines
should be giving similar power.

United States. He loves nothing
better than a long, tough stage race,
and he could win the Milk Race,
which starts in Bournemouth
tomorrow morning with a two-mile
timetriaL
This is the eighth time that the
Americans have competed in the
round Britain race. They have little
to show for their efforts, other than
a stage win at Blackpool in 1975 by
Dave Chauner, and an overall
fourth place in 1978 for George
Mount, one second behind Bob
Downs. Grewal. aged 22. has the
ability to finish ahead of Downs,
who, at 28, leads the Great Britain
axnanteur team for the last time.
It is on the climbs in the Famines
and the Yorkshire Dales during the
second week that Grewal. and his
American co-leader Andrew Ham-
psten, hope to make the decisive
moves. At 6 ft 2 in and 10 st 7 lb.
By John Wikokson
Grewal is a natural dxmber. He
comes from mile-high Denver,
Colorado, and his father is a
Pakistani Sikh. Jagit Grewal
(pronounced grey-wall).
When he was 19. Grewal went to
Belgium for a year 10 learn racing
the hard way. He has since twice
finished second on the Tour of
Chile, swapping pace in the Andes
with the top Colombians- He and
Hampsten again showed their worth
in the Alps last Sepetmber during
the Tour de FAvenir. Sich
experiences will stand them in good
stead in the Milk Race, which has a
much more open aspect this year.
The Commonwealth Gama road
race champion, Malcolm Elliott,
disa pointed in the recent Scalink
International, but a win last Sunday
in the Lincoln Grand Prix had
confirmed the good form that
should see him winning the first
yellow jersey tomorrow.
The 1.057 miles race, which ends
in Blackpool on June 4, will not be
dominated by the all-conquering
Soviet team, who declined the
invitation. The Great Britain,
professional team could takeover'
their domination they have a wealth
of experience, going back to the
1968 Milk Race, when the team
captain. Sid Barras, as an amateur,
finished fifth. He has the brains to.
guide to success. 15 years later, the
younger legs of Tony Doyle and
Sean Yates.
Doyle was an excellent second in
the Scalink race, and is again
confident of a good performance.
Yates, who beat Doyle for (he 1982
British pursuit title, is in his second
season as a Continental pro-
fessional. but bis muscular build
may be too much of a handicap in
the northern hills. Other names to
look for during the next two weeks
are Poland's Szczepkowski and
Mokiewski (fifth and seventh in the
1981 Milk Race). Johansson, of
Sweden, Blum, of Switzerland, and
Rottier. of West Germany.

BOOK REVIEWS
Clear exposition of
rugby fundamentals
By David Hands
It was probably just coincidence
that, shortly after the end of the
international championship, two
instructional books on the prin-
ciples and appreciation of
football should reach the
Perhaps someone was
me something. In point
is exactly what Don Rutherford is
trying to do in International Rugby
for Players, Coaches and Spectators
(Heunemann, £5.95).
Mr Rutherford, a former England
and Lions full bads, now the Rugby
Football Union's lechnicaJ adminis-
trator, is a ‘modern’ in what many
people consider an organization
bogged down by tradition. Yet be is
sumcienly at home with the history
of the game to quote John DanieLL,
an England selector Grom 1913 to
1939 and nicknamed The Prophet 1 ,
on the principles of selection which
still hold good. Since selection has
been such a bone of contention this
season it is worth an aide memoir
on the basic truths of the job.
It is also significant that his book
begins with the impact of television
on the game. There can be no doubt
that the spread of rugby's popularity
throughout the world has happened
because of televised representative
mwtrhwi- equally there can be no
doubt that much of what is bad in
the game receives widespread
exposure »»ri that therefore a prime

int of fact that growing children m the for corners
of the world, but it cannot ignore
them for much longer.
Great player
I doubt if Gordon Brown claims
to be one of the great thinkers in
world rugby, such as those who
gathered in Cardiff for the Welsh'
centenary in I9SO-8I, but he was
certainly one of the great players of
his day. He has joined the ranks of
the professionals with the publi-
cation of Broon from Troon (Stanley
Paul, £6.95) and those locks in New
Zealand with the Lions this summer
would do well to read his thoughts
on what they are likely to find there.
Brown, who won 30 caps for
Scotland and played in eight
internationals on three lours for the
Lions, ran the gamut of New
Zcaiaxnd rugby, from top (in 1971)
to bottom (in 1977) and fitted in an
unbeaten tour to South Africa in
1974. The lineoul pra rices before
leaving Eastbourne is 1971 were

understand the points Mr Ruther-
ford is making but it must help, by
its dear exposition of the enormous

give a greater understanding to the
armchair viewer.
Unique event
A unique book is The Principles
of Rugby Football, based as it k on
papers delivered at a unique event,
the Welsh Rugby Union’s centenary
conference for coaches and referees,
with the strings drawn together by
John Dawes (George Alien and
Unwin, £9.95). The exercise itself
look place over 10 days and one of
the most interesting parts of the
book is the appendix which quotes
the recommendations made by the
c o nfer ence to the WRIT which, if
approved, were to be referred to the
International Board.
It was recommended that the IB
sbonkl bold similar world confer-
ences on a regular basis and that the
board should establish ‘a formal

countries are considered to be

Surety that is no legacy for ah

players have a dilemma over
whether to play became of injury
the decision should be taken out of
their hands as quickly as possible.
Most of the time the major problem
is getting tiie players to talk about
injuries they are carrying... few
players are capable of malting a

prediction that the inflation rale
would be reduced to below 4 per
cent, Philip Webster writes
from Wadebridge.
But she said that could only
happen if a Conservative
government was returned on
June. 9. That could result in a
further strengthening of the
exchange rale, and inflation
being kept down,
on the exchange rate."
Mrs Thatcher was speaking
during a busy first afternoon's
campaigning in north Cornwall,
buoyed by the publication ealier
of the inflation figures.
Mrs Thatcher admitted that
there would be an increase in
inflation in the autumn, but
added that it would be tempor-
ary, because the underlying
trend was down. It might be less
than expected because of the
unproved exchange rate.
The future of the 41 barrels
of Dioxin-contaminated Seveso
waste remxined undecided , last
night. The waste, which was
found on Thursday in the
village of Anguflcourt-le-Sart
near St Quentin, was taken in.
the early hours of yesterday
morning under a heavy armed
escort to the military camp of
Sissonne.
At a press conference in
Paris yesterday, Mr Andrt
Fntterknecht, the technical
director of Hoflmaim-la Roche,
the Swiss owners of the
devastated Seveso chemicals
factory near Milan, said that
the company had been “de-
ceived in good faith" by
Manessmann, the West Ger-
man company, to which the
disposal of waste had been
consigned.
“Manessmann is a first-
class company. No one else
wanted to take charge of the
dioxin waste. We therefore had
to accept the secrecy that. they
asked of ns as to the desti-
nation of the waste; it was
question of take it or leave it,”
Mr F nt terknecht said.
He went on to apologue to
the French authorities -and the
public on behalf of his company
for having given them false
information based on the facts
provided by Manessmann. "We
will onrselves take charge of
the transport and: incineration
of die waste, which poses no
technical problems", he added.
Mr Giuseppe Reggianf,
dioxin specialist for Hoffi i' in-
la Roche, said soon after the
discovery last March of the
“disappearance" of the toxic
waste, it was enclosed in plastic
sacks, covered with a protective
substance, and then hermeti-
cally ‘sealed in the drums. They
presented no danger for an
unlimited length of time
The drums have been stored
since last September in a
disused abattoir and, according
to the Mayor of Anguflcourt-le-
Sart were all in good condition
when they were found.
M Barnard Paringamc, the
manag in g director of Spelidec,
the Fredk firm which was
subcontracted by Manessmann
to dispose of the waste, was
still in prison yesterday where
he has been detained for the
past seven weeks on technical
charges. His decision to reveal
the wheraboots of the waste is
expected to lead to his release.
The examining magistrate eh
tiie case said yesterday that he
would decide on Tuesday
whether he should be set free.
M Paringamc lawyer said be
had not spoken before because
he believed it was “his duty and
his honour” not to break the
Tndidonce of his client.

Frank Joimstm’s campaign trial
Land girl Thatcher, the
fisherman’s friend
Mra Magnet Thatcher, she
who opened her 1979 cam-
paign by fondling lor the
cameras a new born calf in
nwalL On hand to advise, be
consulted, and provide warn-
ings, was Mr Denis Thatcher
(remember “If we don't look
out, we’ll have a dead calf on
our bands”, his famously wise
counsel on that first day four
years ago).
We had left Gatwick on the
first flight of Mrs Thatcher's
campaign aeroplane. Her
mission was to hit targets in
north Cornwall, a constitu-
ency token by the Conserva-
tives from the Liberals in
1979, and ver marginal. Her
war aim was to lay waste her
moderate enemies' major
Country, before turning her
attention, after a lew days, to
Labour’s centres of industry.
Forty-five minutes later she
landed at St Mawgan, was
swept through the idyllic lanes
by coach to Padstow harbour,
and- peered into a tank full of
live lobsters.
They scrambled and they
slapped at one another. And
that was only the television
camera crews. Campaign ten-
sion and excitement were
already high, even at this early
stage, for Mrs Thatcher after
her late start, was out in the
country campaigning at last.
She revelled in the task.
A man in overalls briefed
the Prime Minister, by the
tankside, on all she would ever
need to know- about lobsters.
She contrived to look rather
more interested than she
would he were it, for example,
a Cabinet exposition by her
Foreign Secretary. She then
peered threateningly into the
tank- Her husband was un-
doubtedly wary. Perhaps he
was musing: “If we don’t look
out, we’ll have a dead lobster
on our hands.”
The Prime Minister moved
off through the throng. Soon
she was presented with a
lobster which had been dead,
tv some other hand, for
-several hours. She hdd it
before the cameras. She
moved towards the quayside.
There she. met a fishe rman
with a red free, white hair.
sailor’s cap, blue jersey and
richly impenetrable Cornish
accent. Here was perhaps an
actor hired by the Cbmish end
of die British-Tourist Board.
He held up, at the request of
the photographers, a huge
dogfish for prime minsterial
inspection, one of those fish

She would recognize that
much-loved visage anywhere.
It was Mr William Whiletaw.
She gazed at the-fisb fondly. -

Minister seems to be part of
Her husband, too. was
mensely popular. When, per-
haps wearying of the metee, he
would retreat to the fringes of
the crowd, be would be
instantly recognized and ac-
claimed. Perhaps he is the
quintessential Englishman of
our time. “You look after her,
won't you?" they often cried.
"Of course", he replied.
We descended on Trdyll
Farm, near Wadebridge. Ever
prudent, she emerged from her
coach in her green wellies, and
strode purposefully towards a
piece of agricultural equip-
ment in a field. Whh her scarf
and those wellies, she re-
sembled a land girl in a
wartime Picture Post doing her
bit for Britain.
From the sticky field, there
arose a most rural stench. As
Mr Michael Foot would argue,
Mrs Thatcher was leading us
into the mire. Some of the
camera crew got bogged down.
“Come on, come on**, she
urged. Everyone was laughing.
Everyone, inducting her, knew
it was ridiculous, and none the
worse for that Her husband
fefl bade. He produced a
typical Derrisism: “There’s no
pleasure or profit in this.**
Wading out of the field, she
entered a bam containing
cattle. There were no vulner-
able calves. The beasts were
huge. Denis was relieved.
“They look fairly well grown ,
that lot”, he was heard to say.
The reduction of inflation to four
per cent is a “resounding success for
foe policies and commitment of Mrs
Thatcher", says foe Daily Express
“Even Mr Michael Foot must find
that foe pound in his pensioner’s
pocket goes reassuringly further."
The Daily Mail finds it “surpass-
ing strange" that Mr Francis Pym
should state that he does not believe
there will be a Tory landslide, and
that such a landslide would not be a
good thing anyway. If that is the way
he is dunking, perhaps he should
leave the Cabinet and agree to
become Speaker in the next House
of Commons, the paper adds.
The Daily Mirror leader also
concentrated on Mr Pym’s remarks.
"If Mra Thatcher wins the election
then one thing is certain; Pym’s No.
I for foe chop!"
