OVER mm or jh LONDON, Tuesday. A man charged with poisoning eight people, two falally, said in court yesterday that notes alleged to be a diary of the poisonings were really the basis of a short story he intended to rite. The accused. Graham Young. 24.

said the notes were written in a day in the same diary style used by certain thriller writers. Mr Young was giving evidence yesterday for the first lime in St Alban's Crown Court on the sixth day of his trial on two charges of murder, two of attempted murder and six of administering poison. He has pleaded not guilty- The prosecution has alleged he killed two people at work and poisoned six others, and kept a record of his crimes in the diary found in his bedroom. Mr Young told the court: "The diary, as it were, was the exposition of a theory not one I seriously held, but a somewhat fanciful one which I out lined for my own amusement, although that is not a very apt word." Mr Young, who is alleged to have poisoned the lea and coffee of his workmates at a photographic firm, said that he was concerned to know the cause of an illness which had hit some of his workmates. Something which sprang to his mind "was the similarity between certain of the symptoms of certain types of heavy metal poi-sonine." He decided to elaborate his theory and take into account the conditions under which such a theory could come about.

But the British Army reported occasional shots aimed at patrolling soldiers, and in Londonderry, Northern Ireland's second city, troops fired on a man they said was about to shoot at them. The tense early hours followed a day of violence in which two soldiers and a policeman were killed. The last person to die was a soldier gunned down by a sniper in Belfast only two minutes before midnight. Another had been machine-gunned to death in Londonderry four hours earlier.

SAIGON, Tuesday. North Vietnamese troops fired nearly 2,000 rockets and mortar shells into Government mountain positions guarding the western approaches to Hue this morning. It was the heaviest shelling attack in the communist drive on Hue since Sunday and was coordinated with three were successful, no scientific purpose would be served by continuing the series. There were also reports at the time that the cancellation was due to technical considerations. This year's tests, according to well-informed sources, are said to continue from where the previous series left off and are designed to perfect miniaturisation of the war heads without which France cannot claim to have achieved full nuclear capability.

President Pompidou is committed to implement the late President de Gaulle's policy to give France an independent nuclear deterrent. The aim is to have five Redoubtable class submarines in service by 1978, each with missiles of longer range than those now developed and with thermo-nuclear warheads. The chairman of the Fr Parliament's Defence Committee. Mr Alexandre Sanguinetti, urged President Pompidou yesterday to ignore the protests and to tell the world: "I want a bomb, that's all there is to it." (AAP-Rcuter) planting a bomb in a bar. Soon after the men drove off.

the bar blew up. A bomb blast in the centre of Belfast touched off a fire in a gas main. The bomb, which left a pall of grev smoke over the city, destroyed all the shops in one block and shattered windows over a wide area. Another incident, poten tially even more disastrous for hopes of a lasting peace from the cease-fire, occurred when a stone-throwing battle between man Catholics and Pro teslants exploded into shooting. In the firing, which was reported to have come from the Catholic side, six Protestant men, two women and an eight-year old girl were hit, increase ing Protestant anger over what many of them already regard as a British "sell-out to the IRA." It gave even greater urgency to the task of Britain's administator in the province, Mr William Whitclaw, who must take advantage of the cease fire this week to cool down the tempers of militant Protestants.

The hard-line Ulster De fence Association (UDA)j is demanding that the; barricades of the so-called Catholic "no go" areas in Londonderry, where the IRA holds sway, must come down by this weekend to allow security forces to enter the areas on patrol again. Protestants have threatened to set up their own permanent barricades against police and troops unless the Catholic barricades are brought down. There have been hints from extremist Protestant leaders that the UDA men have been undergoing military training, and may move against the Catholic strongholds if the British Army fails to do so. But, behind the barricades in Londonderry, the start of the cease-fire, which the local IRA claimed was complete in the city, was marked by the battle-weary inhabitants with half-priced drinks in the bars.

Speculation grew today that France had suffered a setback in its nuclear test program because of a technical fault or was reconsidering its plans because of growing international pressure.

(AAP-Reuler) STREET, SYDNEY day that technical conditions were riglil for the nuclear tests at Mururoa Atoll, French Polynesia. The indications there were that the series would proceed in spite of protests from foreign Governments and reports that demonstrators were planning to enter the Pacific test area. A week has elapsed since France warned it was ready to start the new series of tests.

But no bomb has so far been exploded. A French Defence Ministry spokesman in Paris gave a curt "no comment," yesterday to inquiries whether France was reconsidering its plans. Defence and Foreign Ministry officials said that, as far as they knew, there had been no change in plans. An official said: "Only unfavourable weather can delay the tests. "We can think of no other reason, and in any case there is plenty of time ahead." The test period runs from June to September.

French officials dismissed as a hoax the plans by a group of Australian protesters to parachute into the Mururoa area. An official said: "We nfnu A bOttWn 1 ifkttlpijnt It liniiyiiiiH'iiiin dia said today that the Brahmaputra River and its 59 main tributaries had "gone berserk" after being swollen by heavy monsoon rains. The 500-mile length of the Brahmaputra in India had passed the flood danger mark. President Pompidou never took this scheme seriously a canular (hoax)." But the French Government is taking very seriously the mounting protests from countries bordering the Pacific. The French Ambassador to Peru, Mr Jean fham-bon, has been recalled from Lima for con-sulfations following renewed threats by Peru to break off relations if the tests went ahead.

He flew to Paris last week and the Foreign Ministry is still unable to say when he will return to Peru. Last year, the French Government curtailed its test program in the face of Peruvian threats to sever diplomatic ties. But the official explanation given then was that, as the earlier tests 500 DIE NEW DELHI, Tuesday.

The Press Trust of In Spassky hopes on Fischer REYKJAVIK, Tuesday, World chess champion Boris Spassky, of Russia, said today he hoped his American challenger, Bobby Fischer, would show up in time for their first match on Sunday.

Fischer failed to arrive at the world championship tournament site, in the Icelandic capital, as scheduled yesterday. "I don't know why he didn't arrive," Mr Spassky said. "Only commander-in-chief Fischer knows," he added with a broad smile. Mr Fischer's lateness was reported in New York to be the result of a stalemated dispute over lighting to be used during the televised matches. A friend, Mr Fred Cramer, said the American champion would play only under fluorescent lights.

Television filming demanded use of incandescent or tungsten-halogen lighting. Officials of the Icelandic Chess Federation said they expected the 29-year-old challenger tomorrow.
