Standing a portrait of Victoria's Arst Governor, Charles La Trobe, in the restored cottage in the Domain was Dr. John de La Trobe (right).

Dr. de La Trobe's greatgreat-grandfather was a brother of Governor La Trobe. Dr. de La Trobe, who lives in Hamburg, West Germany, was on a business visit to Melbourne when the National Trust, which restored and moved the cottage from its ori-' ginal site in Jolimont, heard he was in town and took him to the cottage. Dr.

de La Trobe is managing director of a German shipping Arm. One of his interests in Australia is the shipping of the Dame Pattie to America for this year's America's Cup. Born in Berlin, he is a member of the La Trobe family which went to Germany some centuries ago. Governor La Trobe's family went to England and another branch to America. Descendants.

The hole was an ingenious hiding place for small change and could hold Army apprentices, charged with illegal use of motor cars and with stripping the Balcombe army yesterday. Detective Roger squad, said he had interview with one May 25 at Frankston He said the defendant, Peter Godfrey Freckleton, formerly of Adelaide, had made a statement to the police describing details of the offences in which he had been involved.

Freckleton, who was before the court on two counts of ilegal use and 10 larceny counts, pleaded guilty to all charges. In the statement produced by police in court, Freckleton said: "We put the stolen stuff from the cars in a shed at the camp." Det. Reid said Freckleton had told him he discussed with another defendant, Norman Georges Holmes, and other apprentices, the question of going out to steal a car for some parts. They took car from Toorak and started it by joining two wires under the dashboard. They then drove it to Templestowe and on an isolated bush track stripped the car.

The parts in the shed for romained, two weeks until they were put on two apprentices' cars. The old parts were thrown into a creek, Det. Reid said. Freckleton, appeared before Mr. K.

J. Kean, SM, together with 27 other army apprentices on charges of illegal use and larcency of parts, worth a total of more, Police than allege $10,000. took place in the past 18 the offences months. The apprentices, all aged 17 and are on a total of 131 charges. Det.

David William Smith, also of the stolen car squad. told the court he interviewed a defendant, Ivan David Porteus. on May 6 at the Balcombe camp. He said Porteus admitted to him having been involved in four or five offences with other apprentices. Det.

Smith said Porteus them, stored the parts camp, a detective told Reid of the stolen car been told this in an of the defendants on CIB office. had told him that one night he was awakened by another defendant, Gerald Desmond Merton. Merton told him he and Phillip Gurran had stolen a Mini-Morris and had asked him (Porteus) if he could help strip the car. Det. Smith said Porteus told him he accepted and drove, the stolen vehicle to Reservoir, where he and Gurran stripped it.

Porteus, who is on two counts of illegal use and five of larceny, pleaded guilty. Mr. Kean also heard evidence against Garry James Holmes (a twin brother of Norman George Holmes) and Dennis James Dorling. Mt. M.

A. White, appearing for the five defendants, told the court his clients had been victims of group activities and although they freely admitted their moral weakness, could not be treated as common criminals. "They have been caught by the current of the stream and have not had the force to swim ashore to safety," Mr. White said. They and their families felt humiliated and dejected by the happenings.

"These boys come from families of undoubted repute, which makes these offences almost impossible to Mr. White said. Mr. Kean also heard charges against Douglas Charles Frost, Philip Gurran, Gregory Lloyd Cheshire and David Lewis Cockroft. He remanded one defendant to appear before the Children's Court on Monday, after his counsel had brought to the court's attention that the youth was under 17 when the offences took place.

Mr. Kean reserved his decision against all defendants and adjourned their cases until tomorrow. The hearing will continue today at.

Valued at $100,000 it will need only minor adjustments before being put to closed circuit use. Tests and training will begin immediately. Experiments in lighting, make-up, and color in set designs will be conducted, and seminars are planned for advertisers to show them the pitfalls and problems of advertising products in color. It is forecast that current package design may have to be altered to gain the best impact in color television advertising. It is estimated we may have color television transmission in 1970.

A senior director from Channel 0, Denis de Vallence, is at present in Hollywood studying the use of color in educational television. A technician. Mal Pichener, is studying color in Canada. All Melbourne stations have representatives either overseas or due to go later in the year. The new camera at 0, ordered some months ago, is an RCA unit from the United States.

It has been used for demonstrations in. Sydney in the past, two weeks. An event of a very different kind occurred at Channel 0 this week, when an 11-foot carpet snake died Ave minutes before snake. dancer Bernice Kopple was due to do her act in the taping of a Showcase programme. In true show business tradition Miss Kopple who dances in a leopardskin bikini and calls hers a "nature act" went ahead using a little snake she happened to have on hand and big Queensland cane toad.

Her act will be seen in the June 12 programme. She had obtained a hotwater bottle for her carpet snake as she said the 71- degree temperature in the dressing room where he was resting was not hot enough. The bit I like is the news that Channel 0 is to recompense Miss Kopple. But how More news of the remarkable Our World programme which will link 19 countries in a live satellite transmission on June 26. On Sunday, for four hours from 10 p.m., many of the participating countries are to be linked by COMPAC for a production conference.

Style of commentaries, the compiling of a master script, continuity and translation are among the things to be discussed. In Sydney, Australia's production team taking part includes the federal television director of the ABC (Mr. Ken Watts), Dr. Peter Pockley, producers and commentators. If you have enjoyed English comedian Peter Reeves on Channel 7's Mavis Bramston Show you can take a second last look at him at 9 o'clock tonight.
