Continuous Transfusion Continuous Transfusion Cabinet Support Growing For Macmillan From Our Staff Correspondent and A.A.P. LONDON, June -Support for the Prime Minister, Mr Macmillan, in the Profumo scandal is growing in the Conservative Party and the Cabinet. Political observers this will become apparent when the House of Commons debates the issue tomorrow afternoon (about midnight Monday, Sydney time). However, the conviction is growing that party and Cabinet support is conditional on Mr Macmillan's stepping down from office soon after the crisis passes. Strong Cabinet backing for Mr Macmillan became apparent yesterday the Health Minister, Mr.

Enoch Powell--a key the Cabinet crisis- -publicly supported him. Ministers and other key party leaders spent the weekend making speeches in all parts of the of Prime Britain in Minister. support Labour's "shadow" Cabinet held an emergency meeting last night in preparation for tomorrow's debate. Queues began to form outside the Houses of Parliament 48 hours before the debate was due to start. "A Respectable Interval" British newspapers are belief almost unanimous, in their will resign soon after tomorrow's debate and make way for a younger leader.

The politicai correspondent of the "Observer" says the Cabinet's unity has been assured by an understanding that Mr Macmillan will make way for a younger man. "In return for this unwritten understanding the waverers on the Conservative backbenches have undertaken to support the Prime Minister in the lobbies," the correspondent says. Boy Under A Truck Is Chirpy year old John Montgomery, of Bradfield migrant hostel, was running beside a refuse truck there yesterday when he slipped and fell under the dual back wheels of the six-ton truck. In Royal North Shore Hospital last night, police said, he was as chirpy as a bird. He has a fractured pelvis.

His mother said last night: "I asked him how he felt and he said, 'Oh, mummy, have "He said that when the wheels were passing over him he could not get his breath." June 17, 1963 rises 6.58, sets 4.52. 1.41 a.m., sets 1.45 p.m. Denison): High, 3.56 a.m. 4.50 p.m. (5ft 2in).

Let us look at it other way, then. If someone would buy that wasted surplus at the Sydney retail price of 114d a pint a gallon) it would realise more than £150- million. LOST THIRST. A major factor, as Column 8 pointed out on June 13, is the Australian's sudden loss of appetite for milk. Despite crack-a-bottle campaigns, the average Australian is drinking 10 gallons less milk per annum than he did eight years ago.

"If he had been more responsive to the board's blandishments," a dairying authority comments, "he would have drunk 10 gallons more instead of 10 less, and we would have no surplus milk problem." Russia's spacewoman will be entitled to wear these "wings" awarded to all Soviet cosmonauts. The gold-coloured badge has a globe in the centre showing a map of Russia and the Soviet flag with a sputnik possible that they will attempt a full-scale space rendezvous instead of merely approaching one another, as space "twins" Nikolayev and Popovich did in August. They came within three miles of one, another. Tass later reported that Colonel Popovich, on behalf of his fellow cosmonauts, sent "cordial greetings" to the woman cosmonaut, ing: "Now we have a space sister." "A happy landing to you. All your friends embrace you tenderly." The space pilots may try to "fly by wire" to manoeuvre their ships for a historic rendezvous, says United Press.

today (Sydney time) Colonel Bykovsky had completed his thirty-third orbit and covered more than 838,000 miles. He said he "remains fit. has an excellent appetite and is in good spirits," Tass reported. But there were indications the marathon space flight may be tiring the 28-year-old cosmonaut. Earlier Than Planned Tass said that Bykovsky, "after a day of hard work, went to sleep somewhat earlier than planned and slept calmly for about nine hours." Today, it said, he was feeling "very well." The cosmonaut, with "5 o'clock shadow" after 48 hours in space, was clearly seen again on television as Vostok 5 whirled over Russia.

Aware that he was on the screen, he waved a photograph of his baby son and wife before the camera. In Washington today the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said the United States had no plans to put a woman into space yet.

In a joint message to the cosmonauts, the Soviet Premier, Mr Khrushchev, 'said: "Dear Valentina Vladimirovna and Valery Fyodorovich: Cordial congratulations on the successful beginning of the joint space flight. "I wish you good safe flight and successful landing." In a reply to the Russian Prime Minister's message, Miss Tereshkova said: "Dear Nikita Sergeyevich: I am moved and deeply touched by your attention.

Very, very many thanks for your warm words and for your paternal care. I feel well. "From the bottom of my heart I thank the Soviet people for their good wishes. assure you, dear Nikita Sergeyevich, that the homeland's honourable task will be fulfilled." Miss Tereshkova and Colonel Bykovsky sent the following radiogram to Mr Khrushchev: "Have started joint space flight. Dependable radio communication been established between our ships.

"Australia now boasts The "Sunday Times" tical correspondent says: "Tomorrow's Commons vote will not settle the question of Mr Macmillan's future. "Some of his critics are prepared to support him now on the understanding that he will resign after a respectable interval." The "People" says Mr decision not to resign has saved Mr. Macmillan from an immediate revolt within his party.

At the end of tomorrow's debate, however, up 30 Conservatives will abstain from voting, it adds. Mr Powell, who was reported to be on the brink of resigning over the Profumo affair, said "I am convinced that from beginning to end of the Profumo affair, and in every aspect of it, the personal honour and integrity of the Prime Minister are absolutely unsullied."
