(Mr. L. J. Haylen is the former Labor member for Parkes.) "It may be necessary for U.N. forces to take out nuclear plants from Red China and this could be effectively applied by the U.N.," Mr.

"In the debate on the Prime Minister's department estimates recently, he held the House up for an hour, and the Government eventually was forced to gag the debate, depriving members of opportunities to speak," Mr.

Whitlam said. "Members hesitate to interrupt him when he is making his exaggerated remarks." Mr. Whitlam said Mr. Uren and Mr. Hughes N.S.W.) had spoken twice on the subject of Malaysia.

Death of Racing Personality One of North Victoria's best-known racing personalities, Walter Bellchambers, died yesterday. He was 94. Mr. Bellchambers, who had a life-long association with racehorses, was recognised as an outstanding judge of thoroughbred horses. Over a long period many prominent owners sought his assistance in selecting yearlings at special sales.

He was possibly the oldest Boer War veteran in Australia. He went overseas in 1900 and on his return to Australia in 1903 settled in Colac, where he immediately became associated with racehorses. From that district he moved to Purnim, where he took over a hotel, but still I continued his interest in racing. Some years later he moved to Kerang, where he linked up with trainer Jack Bence and in 1926 transferred to Bendigo where he built up a fine record as an owner and trainer. Some of the outstanding handled by Mr.

Bellchambers were Ograb, prolific country cup, winner, the brilliant mare Jacasse, with Frances Tressady blood, and then Jacasse's son, Law Case, which won many races on country and metropolitan courses. lies so long as we continue to do what we have been doing successfully for the past 12 However, the Government had no right to intervene in profits, he said.
