A man wanted for questioning about the missing Beaumont children spoke to three people near Colley Reserve at Glenelg on 'Wednesday, the day the children disappeared.

The U.S. Atomic .11 Energy Commission is working on new and ---O- game time continuing to reduce mass production of boarding houses, landlords and employers.

The NSW 0 Government will amend a law to enable doctors to use growth hormone extract to treat undersized children." State Cabinet approved this yesterday following a recommendation from the Minister for Health (Mr. Jagoj.

The law to be amended is the Corneal and Tissue Grafting Act. This act now permits removal of eyes and other parts of the body from a dead person but only for grafting 'into the body of a living person. This may be done sqon after the donor's death or at some more convenient time. The eyes and other pants of the body taken from the dead person may be stored for such use. But the law now does hot permit the processing of the parts taken from the body of the donor.

The amendment will per mit this, Big demand The Premier (Mr. Askin) said after a Cabinet meeting yesterday that there was a considerable demand throughout Australia for human pituitary tissue. He said'ic was used to extract growth hormone for treatment of certain typesef under-sized children and far use as a fertility measure in certain cases of female sterility. ff The potential source of supply of the growth hormone extract was from the body of donors who indicated before death that they would permit the removal of pituitary tissue after death. A Health department official said the main purpose of the amendment to the law would be to permit the processing of the pituitary gland to extract growth hormone for the treatment' of dwarfism.

This appears to be another part of the "new, improved Minuteman HI" inter-continental ballistic missile referred to by the President in his budget message as being in the stage of procurement.

Three children were with him when he approached a middle-aged woman and an elderly couple sitting on a bench on the tore-Bhore and asked: "Have you seen anybody messing around with our clothes? Our money has been pinched." This important new development, in the week-old search for the children came to light yesterday afternoon when detectives Interviewed the middle-aged woman at her Glenelg home. The woman, who is married, told police that the man fitted the description given by four other people who had reported seeing the man who-she said was "definitely" Australian, with three children in the same area on Wednesday. "It was Arnna" Of the two girls and a boy with him, she was positive the younger girl was Arnnna Beaumont, seven. She was not sure that the others were Jane, nine, and Grant, four.

To detectives working around the clock at search headquarters at Glenelg, the woman's Information is valuable in corroborating the story of a 74-year-old woman who saw the children frolicking with the same man only minutes earlier on Wednesday. It also supports statements by three other people who saw a man and the children in the same area. Police last night appealed to. the elderly couple to whom the man also spoke to come It was the only important development in another day of non-stop inquiries by baffled detectives. Fourth search Earlier yesterday, about 30 police cadets with members of the police emergency operations group, started searching sandhills at North Glenelg and West Beach for the fourth time.

After several hours of combing bush and rubbish-covered sandhills behind beach shacks and further nonh, they left the area empty handed. Police are reluctant to discount the possibility that the missing children met with an accident, and consider the sandhills the most likely place for an accident to have occurred. They appealed yesterday for public help finding a man whose behavior pat making her fourth visit to Melbourne for a nine-day nightclub engagement, admitted to being more conventional In dress than Miss Shrimpton. "After all. you may as well wear shorts if you're going to wear dresses four inches above the knee," she said.

Miss Bassey was delighted to have arrived in Mel-; bourne for the first evening of 10 o'clock closing and said she would celebrate it last night. "I love your weather and beer," she said, "and it's good to be back." Although this is her seventh visit to Australia, she has no plans to settle here permanently.

CLUB In Its annual report for 1984-65, released to growers this week, the Australian Wool Board says the wool research trust fund will be depleted to a "dangerously low level" by mid-1967. "For the present: research programme to continue, and any further expansion to be undertaken, further, funds will have to be found," the report continues. According to the report the research fund stood at 6,900,000 ($13,800,000) on June 30, 1864. A' year later It was reduced to 6,600,000 ($11 mil pay a research and promotion levy of 2 per cent, of the, gross value of shorn wool sold. This totals 7,250,000 ($14,500,000) a year, and Is brought to 12,600,000 ($25 million) by contributions irom i the Commonwealth Most of this is used to Bay Australia's contribution to the International Wool Secretariat's world wool promotion drive.

It Is expected that any move by the Australian Wool Industry Conference to Increase the research levy will meet strong grower tip-position, Drought difficulties and disappointment at the outcome of the marketing referendum have prompted many growers to consider means of reducing the existing levy; In a foreword to the report, the chairman of the board (Sir William Ounn) said production research would assume increasing importance as the years go by. After wool marketing reform, productivity increased production associated, with greater profitability was the next major issue facing the industry. Sir William said 1964-65 was the first time the IWS had been able to promote and develop wool on a fully effective scale. The aim of the IWS programme was to create trade and consumer confidence in wool as a fibre and break the influence of declining synthetic fibre prices. "Signs that the new IWS programme is achieving its aims are already evident although as yet they are not being reflected in the auction room," he said.
