Start Soon on Radar at Airport Construction of a building to house Tullamarine Jet-port's new 394,000 long-range radar unit will start soon, the Minister for Civil Aviation (Senator Paltridge) said yesterday.

The problems of country employment officers were discussed today by district officers of the Commonwealth Employment Service. The director of the Commonwealth Employment Service in Victoria (Mr. P.

J. Purves) said the main theme at the talks was problems of youth employment. He said emphasis had been given to the need to interest young people In the value of apprenticeships. seconas. cess or failure may be a provision that if one House accepts the redistribution proposed by the commission it will become law, regardless of whether the other House rejects it.

If the Government approves the redistribution proposal it would be certain to pass In the Legislative Assembly and become law. On the other hand the combined Labor and Country parties have a majority of one in the Legislative Council and they are are almost certain to defeat the move to set up an electoral commission. Introducing the bill, Mr. Rylah said there had been a tremendous growth of population in Victoria over the past 60 years. In 1906 the State had a population of 1,226,000 and 99 members of Parliament in both Houses.

Today the population was almost three million but there were only 100 members. Disparity Because of the heavy population movement since the last Assembly redistribution in 1955 there was a tremendously wide disparity in enrolments. The Melbourne electoral district had 14,400 voters and Mulgrave had 51,800. The boundaries of Legislative Council provinces had not been altered significantly for more than 25 years. The result was that Melbourne province today had 41,900 voters, compared with 240,000 in Southern province.

The Government considered it essential that the unreasonable anomalies in voting strengths should be rectified without delay so that the 1964 elections for bothaHouses should be conducted on a fair and reasonable basis. Two for One Mr. Rylah said the 32 seats in the metropolitan area proposed in the bill coincided with the area of the 16 metropolitan Commonwealth electoral divisions as proposed in the recent Commonwealth redistribution. The proposed intermediate area would contain a combination of inner country and outer suburban areas in which the vast majority of the State's growth was taking place. The quota of 20,000 voters for oountry rural electorates had been designed to reduce the average area of rural seats.

senator Paltridge said the Tullamarine unit would be used initially to control air traffic using Melbourne Airport. But it was being placed at Tullamarine to be in toe best position to control aircraft using both airports when Tullamarine was ready for use in 1867. Buy Fitzroy Slums A.B.C. is Told The A.B.C. should buy up some of the terrible Fitzroy slums instead of building a factory in an area reserved for open spaces, the Labor leader in the Legislative Council (Mr.

Galbally), said last night. TWO SAILORS from the home of big cars seemed impressed with this product from the other side of the Atlantic at the Motor Show yesterday.
