Wi fi NOTTINGHAM, July 16. Dennis Lillee and Bob Massie led England to the gallows at Trent Bridge and then watched Ross Edwards and Ian.Chappell tighten the rope around the country's cricketing neck. England is left trailing by a mammoth 283 with two days play remaining. By Tuesday afternoon, Australia should be one match up in this 51st Ashes series after being one down just over a month ago.

The dramatic about-turn has been due exclusively to Lillee and Massie who have carried MUIRFIELD (Scotland), July IS. "Supermex" Lee Trevino fought-off challenge after challenge by Jack Nicklaus to win the British Open Golf Championship for the second successive year. In one of the closest finishes in the 101 year history of the event Trevino shot a final 71 to finish with an aggregate of 278, one stroke ahead of Nicklaus. Britain's Tony Jacklin who had been in the thick of the fight, cracked over the last two holes and with a 72, finished third with 280. out the traditions of an earlier duo, Lindwall and Miller-England resumed on Saturday at 4 for 117.

They were back in the pavilion 146 minutes later with a total of just 189 runs. Lillee finished with 4 wickets for 35 and Massie 4 for 43 off 30 overs. Massie has taken 20 wickets in his first three Tes innings, and Lillee 16 from five. Australian batsmen Edwards and Chappell backed up their bowlers' success and took the score at stumps to 2 for 157. Nicklaus who has already won the U.S.

Open and The Masters equalled the course record with a final round 66 in his bid to overtake Trevino. He started the round six strokes down on. Trevino, made them all up with a string of birdies, only to drop a stroke on the 16th. For Trevino the win was worth about $10,700, but contracts in equipment and advertising are expected to bring him at least another $500,000. i Bob Massie and Dennis Lillee Lee Trevino with the Open trophy Economy get for recovery 1.1 I 111 i5 TTi 1 DUG SNOW CAVE WITH PAN, BUT FRIEND DIED WASTE Victorian students say it's a waste of money to build a fourth university and colleges of advanced education.

PAGE 4 Page index Treasury is optimistic: worst is over By GRAEME McDOUGALL in Melbourne and HUGH ARMFIELD in Canberra The Australian economy has "bottomed" and is ready to start recovering, according to the Federal Treasury.

But in a White Paper study of the economy, released early this morning, it says Australia still has two main economic problems: inflation, and the reluctance of people to spend. Its report coincides with a meeting in Canberra today of Federal Government ministers, who will begin framing the 1972 Budget an election year Budget which is expected to help poor people and low income earners, and boost public confidence. Their talks should last a week. The White Paper points out broad possible lines of action and the economic problems which have to be solved. It says the prospects of a return to a higher rate of growth in 1972-1973 are good, but it warns "of course, an overnight recovery from the modest growth experience of the past yean should not be expected."

A young skier dug a snow cave with a frying pan in a vain bid to save his companion from a blizzard in the Snowy Mountains last week. But when the skier, Greg Retallack, about 20, of Sydney, dug himself out through four feet of fresh snow his companion was dead. His companion, Graham Edenborough, died from exposure during the night.

oetallack then spent two nights in freezing snow and biting winds before he was rescued. He was suffering from severe frost bite ana shock when found by a rescue party who had been given the alarm by other skiers. Late last night he was in a satisfactory condition, heading back to Sydney. His ordeal began when with Edenborough and two other members of the Mac-quarie University Mountaineering Society he began a ski trip through the Snowy Mountains near Jindabyne. When the weather deteriorated, two returned but Edenborough and Retallack continued their ski tour.

The weather continued to deteriorate. On Thursday a blizzard swept the mountains. The two skiers were caught on open ground. Retallack, in a bid to save their lives, dug a snow cave a hole about four feet deep and 10 feet long. He used a frying pan and his bare hands.

Retallack helped Edenborough, who was weakening, into the cave. The two men lay there as the blizzard swept over them. Retallack' dozed only a few moments during the night but in the morning Edenborough was dead. During the night Retallack tried to keep Edenborough alive with his own body heat. In the morning, Retallack dug his way out through four feet of fresh snow.

"Basic to this is a necessary improvement in the rate of consumer spending." The Treasury economists say that while the estimates of consumption spending in the March quarter showed some improvements, no great weight should be attached to a single quarter's figures, particularly when they followed a preceding period of decline. They say that much of the explanation for subdued consumer demand could probably be attributed to consumer caution.

"Such action, coming on top of the delayed adjustment to income and price acceleration, would well have been among the more important factors at the root of subdued consumer demand. "Against this background it would seem that the get tout if troops had riot withdrawn by this afternoon. Community leaders drew up plans for evacuation and the Catholic Ex-servicemen's Association planned to take over four schools to accommodate the displaced families. It was on the Lenadoon estate that trouble broke out a week ago and resulted in the end of a 13-day truce called by the IRA. Since then at least 30 people have died violently.

Catholics on the western edge of Beflast threatened to abandon their homes en masse today unless British troops pulled out of an area they had occupied by force. The threat was made by people in the Lenadoon Estate, scene of a fierce battle on Thursday night when 700 soldiers moved in to relieve beleaguered army post.

The troops ended up by occupying a group of streets on a hillside from which Republican gunmen had poured down continuous fire on to the post. Since then the troops have established a presence all over the area and many residents have already left. A clandestine Catholic radio yesterday called on Catholics to BELFAST, July 16. Thousands of Roman Catholics were streaming southwards to the Irish Republic today as mounting violence carried Northern Ireland nearer to the brink of civil war. Early reports put the number of fleeing women and children at 5000.

They said tearful farewells to their menfolk at Belfast's main railway station before leaving for the safety of Dublin. From there they were being transferred to special reception centres set up in hospitals, convents and schools elsewhere in the country. Three weekend deaths raised to 32 the number of people killed since the collapse of an Irish Republican Army ceasefire seven days ago and to 440 the toll for almost three years of political pick-up in the economy now in prospect would be most effectively strengthened through a further recovery in consumer confidence." One of the principal means of boosting consumer spending is to provide more money to people who will spend What they get rather than saving it. People in this category include pensioners, low income earners and people with large families. The Cabinet will this week look at a number of proposals aimed at helping these people, including lifting pensions, reducing income tax for low and middle income earners and increasing child endowment.

The White Paper stressed that demand management policies alone could not be fully effective in dealing with all of the factors which had led to excessive inflation in recent times. It pointed out that pressures on labor costs in the arbitration area had become much stronger in the past year or two, and had been exerted on many fronts. The Treasury was strongly opposed to union claims for increased annual leave and for a 35-hour working week. It said that if ithese claims were granted they would have, "costly and irreversible effects on unit labor costs, and hence on 'Moreover, wage increases granted ui cases other than national wage cases have recently been a more important source of wage costs ithan increases-granted in national wage cases themselves," the White Paper said. In view of the Treasury statements It is likely that the Government will further step up its opposition to the 35-hour week and also to collective bargaining tactics.

The U.S. Secretary of State (Mr. Rogers) indicated yesterday that the United States was ready to resume secret peace talks with North Vietnam. Mr. Rogers said the U.S.

Government was "somewhat encouraged" by the attitude shown by Hanoi at the formal Paris peace talks which reopened last Thursday. The Secretary of State reviewed the Vietnam situation during a one-hour meeting with President Nixon here yesterday. The meeting came shortly after North Vietnamese Politburo member Le Due Tho said in Paris that he was ready to resume secret meetings with presidential adviser Dr. Henry Kissinger if the U.S. had something new to offer.

Asked whether Dr. Kissinger would go to Paris or whether there would be any secret meetings with the North Vietnamese, Mr. Rogers told a press conference: "We are prepared to have any kind of diplomatic activity which holds out promise for success." He said he did hot attach much importance to Le Due Tho's "something new" condition for resuming secret meetings. Mr. Rogers said what was important was what was said privately between the two sides.

In PARIS, authoritative sources say the North Vietnamese now in the city for the resumed Vietnam peace talks have been making discreet inquiries about the possibility of a victory by Senator George McGovern in Amreica's Presidential elections next November. The Senator has pledged to pull out all U.S. troops in three months if elected President. Whitlam pledges some free travel wasting-hangups while you dial, wait and wait nor 1 wrong numbers.

"The date on which the shorter working week is introduced will depend on the Government being satisfied that a reduced working week will achieve its proper objective and not merely result in an increase in regular overtime," he said. "To reduce standard hours for the sole purpose of increasing overtime is a prostitution of a cause which deserves to be better understood and respected." Mr. 1 Cameron criticised the distinction between the standard hours worked by physical and clerical The physical grades employed In the Commonwealth Public Service and those whose work was the most arduous worked 40 hours a week, whilst most of the clerical grades worked only 36 hours, he said.

Half to two-thirds of the employes in the Commonwealth Public Service are blue collar workers. Mr. Cameron also pledged a Labor Government would: See its immigration programme was finely tuned to the needs of the labor force. Adopt a scheme of adult apprenticeships.

Whitlam) said at the weekend. He. said a Labor Government would take over the Victorian and NSW rail way networks and probably those in other States as well. Addressing an NSW Labor Council seminar on Australia's rail crisis, Mr. Whitlam said the off-peak free travel system could be financed through Commonwealth grants to the States.

The grants would be on condition that they were passed on to urban public transport authorities to provide free off-peak travel. POST TODAY FOR Tax loophole closing CANBERRA.
