Mr. Maudling, 55, has found himself right in the middle of controversy not only because of his perfectly legitimate association with Poulson's firm.

During his time in Opposition between 1964 and 1970 he picked up directorships in at least seven companies from banking and investment to building enterprises. In itself, that sort of thing is not unusual for Conservative politicians who have lost office and preserved their influential contacts in and out of Government. However, Mr. Maudling has said pressures of work gave him little time to check the credentials of all those with whom he worked. In the Royal Navy, the focus is on allegations of catering frauds at the Portsmouth naval base.

Sixty ships and shore bases have been listed in charges against 64 people now on trial. And today 14 others, including three lieutenant-commanders, appear in court in Portsmouth in the same context. A fullscaie probe seems certain, whatever the outcome of the case, into the navy's entire catering system. In the police force, an internal investigation has already begun into suggestions of corruption among members of Scotland Yard's flying squad. There has been a series of convictions in the past year against individual police officers in various parts of the country.

However, yesterday a new problem blew up. Lawyers sent a report to a Parliamentary committee charging, among other things, police harassment of non-white immigrants, maltreatment of non-whites, framing non-whites on drug offences and perjuring of evidence against non-whites. The police have rejected these allegations as untrue. AAP.

The track finally went bankrupt and closed in 1965. The committee has been One man at the centre of the speculation is the Prime Minister's deputy, the Home Secretary (Mr. Maudling), not because he has done anything wrong in or out of office, but because of his past business links with collapsed companies.

These include the financial empire of American Jerome Hoffman, now in a New York gaol for fraud.

United States challenger Bobby Fischer, fresh from his first-ever victory over Russian world chess champion Boris Spassky, is tipped to even the 24-game title series in the fourth game which begins here tonight. Fischer, trailing 1-2, will have the advantage of white's opening move for the first time in the match. The unpredictable American missed white in the second game when he failed to turn up to play In winning the third game, Fischer gave a sample of his attacking brilliance and his flair for original moves.
