Speaking at Melbourne University, Mr Hawke said: "There you have a strict statement not only of the existing high level of unemployment, but the fact that it's not going to get any better the foreseeable future. "We should remind ourselves of the fact that honesty is a word that has become dispensable in the lexicon of the Liberal movement in this country." Mr Hawke was debating "productivity and the Labour Market" with the Minister for Productivity, Mr Macphee. Mr Hawke said: "My plea to the leadership of this Government is to give us the facts.

Mr Peter Donald Holland, 31, of. Greenwood Place.

Harbord, said businessmen with money were able to pay to protect themselves. Mr Holland, who said he was former heroin user, named two people, Neville Kennedy and Trevor Wrigrjt, as having been the main suppliers of drugs in the northern beaches area. He said both of them were now in jail. Mr Holland was one of five people who appeared before the Commission yesterday on summonses to produce documents including bank books, cheque stubs and copies of income tax returns. The others were Mr Paul Erland Berg, of Dolphin Crescent, Whale Beach, Mr Robert John Matthews, of Barrenjoey Road, Palm Beach, Mr Gary Sidney Peters, of Warraba Road, North Narrabeen, and a witness identified publicly as Mr AH.

Mr AH told the Commission he was facing a charge of stealing. He claimed that police officers had given him money to "set someone up with drugs," but he had used the money to pay some debts. The inquiry resumes today. More Crown land blocks to be released A total of 163 Crown land home sites at Frenchs Forest will be of- fered for sale this financial year.

Walter Patrick Missingham, 24, martial arts instructor, of Panorama Crescent, Mount Riverview, pleaded guilty to the armed robbery of N. and S. Gunsmiths at Merrylands on March 7. Missingham also pleaded guilty to breaking, entering and stealing from the Springwood police station on January 29. Judge Cripps sentenced Missingham to seven years jail for armed robbery and two years jail cumulative for break-and-enter with a non-parole period of four years.

Mark Ronald Threlkeld, 24, teacher-librarian, of The Boule-varde, Fairfield Heights, pleaded guilty to the armed robbery of the Merrylands gun shop. Judge Cripps sentenced Threlkeld to six years jail with a non-parole period of three years. Police told the court that only half the 62 pistols and revolvers stolen from the gun shop had been recovered. The Crown Prosecutor, Mr A. P.

Dalgleish, asked Judge Cripps to take into account that the armed robbery "was not just for money." "There were 62 hand guns carefully selected and they could fall into the wrong hands in these days of violence and terrorism," Mr Dalgleish said. Judge Cripps said "Missingham had telephoned the Spring-wood police station and reported a false accident last January 29. While the police were absent from the station Missingham had broken in and stolen a police uniform, a service pistol and other items. The judge said he regarded Missingham as the prime mover in the armed robbery of the Merrylands gun shop which Missingham carried out while dressed in the stolen police uniform. Judge Cripps said Threlkeld had played an essential role in the armed robbery and was primarily responsible for disposing of the stolen guns.

Australian experts seemed to have been well ahead of Americans in recognising the dual problems of disparity and indeterminancy, he said.

In 1968, the Tasmanian Indeterminate Sentences Board had recommended to the Attorney-General that indeterminate sentences be abolished. The board recognised that indeterminate sentences resulted in expanded sentences and relegated to an administrative body the actual power to determine the time to be served. The board also recognised that such sentences caused adverse psychological effects on prison- 1:1 f. jredpe' tejlp Wt'j today's Sun! Proposed changes to the US Federal Criminal Code, now before Congress, will abolish wide variations in sentences for the same type of criminal offences, the US Attorney-General, Mr Griffin B. Bell, said last night.

The present code had produced unwarranted disparities in sentencing because it was based on the idea of rehabilitating prisoners, he said. Persons similarly situated had received different sentences for similar crimes committed under similar circumstances. The difficulty with the rehabilitative idea was that it was unrealistic, "Recent studies have demonstrated tii at our behavourial sciences do not know with any certainty how to rehabilitate prisoners, nor can they even provide a means of identifying a prisoner who actually has become rehabilitated," Mr Bell said. "If there is no way to tell when a person has become rehabilitated, there, is no reason in the first instance for sentencing him to an indeterminate term, with his release to be based on some fancied recognition of rehabilitation. "He might better be sentenced instead to a shorter but definite term." Mr Bell ers and their families' because of their inability to plan.

It also resulted in an atmosphere of bitterness and unrest because prisoners regarded the system as unfair.
