Mr Hans Halm and the 13-year-old schoolgirl who had been missing since April 1980 were allowed three hours together in the presence of a New Zealand social 'worker. For Mr Halm, a Melbourne businessman, it was a moment of great happiness but for Kim it was a strange and somewhat strained meeting. As Mr Halm had anticipated, she was unsure of herself. "It was a relief at last to see her and know that she is well and happy.

She has grown up info a tall slim girl and if anything her looks have imprdved," Mr Balm said by phone from his Auckland hotel. The meeting in the social worker's office was the climax to a three-year search for Kim since her mother, Mrs Patricia Halm, took the girl from their home in Hawthorn. Investigations into Kim's whereabouts had led police to a religious sect in the Dandenong ranges led by a former nursing sister, Mrs Anne Hamilton-Byrne. Both Mr and Mrs Halm were once members of the sect and other members had helped the mother leave the country. Since then Kim and her mother have been living in Auckland under an assumed name.

Mrs Halm has also obtained an interim custody order from the New Zealand family courts, as had Mr Halm from the Australian Family Court Yesterday's meeting was set up after discussions between solicitors representing Mr and Mrs Halm on the condition that its whereabouts was kept secret and the social worker was present at all times. Afterwards Mr Halm said he had confined his conversation with the girl to light chit chat "I didn't want to upset her by asking her to make any decisions about me," he said. "It is too soon. We'll talk about that when we get a little closer. I have to let her take the lead so I am not going to push her into any hard questions at the moment" Mr Halm said that he was hop ing to see Kim a few more times before he returns to Australia: "Perhaps we will be allowed to go for an outing together." He would not be bringing Kim home with him.

Once he had returned legal discussions would continue to decide what happens. He said that if Kim wanted to stay In New Zealand with her mother he would accept her decision but he would seek an arrangement to see her at regular intervals. "Meanwhile we will try to keep up communications between ourselves by writing and by tele-: phone. It will take a much longer time than these few days to get to know each other the way we did before," he said. 1 4ae thing which does seem that the mam game ragged encounter, and coach Kevin Sheedy is tfed to have written met- Kim Halm: missing since 1680 ff his graining room walls iLnJajg to that effect.

It remains uncertain when they will return. Mr Bond's optimism has, however, been catching at the home of the challenge, the Royal Perth Yacht Club, where a massive party Is planned for tonight: (where the race begins at midnight, local time) and seems more than likely to continue until a result Is known. A planned end-ef-seasen formal dinner has been cancelled and extra champagne ordered for the loso members expected to attend. A specially engraved mounting is already Installed at the club (Just In case, they say) and all over Perth, people are.

planning Cup parties and festivities not unlike New Year's Eve in recognition of what one suspects is seen as a West Australian rather than Australian challenge. gay wine sellers ALP moves to avert preselection threat From MICH Bit GRATTAN CANBERRA, The ALP national executive yesterday intervened in both its Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory branches to overturn decisions on preselection. It also made it clear it would not tolerate any threat to a Federal Minister's preselection. The executive reversed an ACT branch council decision last week to call preselections immediately for two House of Representatives seats and two Senate places, after a complaint from more than 70 ACT branch members including the Education Minister, Senator Ryan. It also withdrew endorsement from the candidate selected for Arnhem in the NT which is 70-80 per cent Aboriginal and endorsed instead an Aborigine, Mr Wesley Lanhupuy.

The former candidate, Mr Bob Handmer, was endorsed by the executive for the winnable seat of Berrimah. The ACT complaint came from the Moderates in the branch after some heavy-handed tactics by the local Left-wingers, who control the numbers. The branch council last week closed the books for voting in the preselection to maximise the chances of getting support for a Left candidate on the preselection for the seat of Fraser, which becomes vacant because the present member, Mr Fry, is not standing again. Senator Ryan's supporters claimed that the move to call nominations for both Senate spots at the same time could lead to the Minister being challenged for the number one spot a claim the Left denied. The ALP national secretary, Mr Bob McMullan, said yesterday the executive had considered the ACT branch council had acted "precipitately and inappropriately" and in a way that did not give all potential candidates an equal chance for the Fraser seat Mr McMullan said the NT intervention had been felt necessary because "action was needed to redress a situation where the party doesn't have adequate Aboriginal Merchants will not have to pay Li ByROYECCLESTON Liquor, merchants claimed yesterday that the wine licence fee set in the State Budget would cripple many of them because the Government had made it "retrospective to mid-1982.

Several retailers told 'The Age' that the increase would send the weaker merchants broke and force others to sack staff. Merchants' concern stems from the fact that their 1984 licence fee, due in December this year, will be assessed on the new rate, even though it is calculated on liquor purchases made in the 1982-83 financial year. The president of the Retail Uquor Merchants Association of Victoria, Mr Bruno Scarcella, said that many merchants would "go to the He said It was unfair to increase the fee long after the wine on which the assessment was made had been sold. The State Government yesterday denied that the Increase was unfair or retrospective, but retailers claimed It was a question of definition. The State Government expects to make $10 million a year after increasing the licence fee from 9 per cent of the value of wine purchased by retailers in a financial to.

20 per cent. Mr Phillip Murphy, of Dan Murphy Cellars in Prahran, said some retailers would be unable to pay the licence fees which become due on 31 December. "I've had phone calls all day from people (liquor merchants) saying they Just won't be able to pay," he said. Mr Murphy said his own fee, had increased from an expected $400,000 to He said there was no way the increase could be made up simply by increasing the price of wine, as claimed by the Government He said the Government's suggestion that sellers increase wine prices by 10 per cent was stupid, and more likely to reduce turnover and therefore a seller's ability to pay the fee. The managing director of Duke and Moorfield, in North Melbourne, Mr Roy Moorfield, said: "It's going to be catastrophic.

We will have to look at staff levels that is the first way to save costs." tne mil amount of the fee In December. Most of them will take the option of paying the fee over four quarters, beginning in December this year, and ending in September 1984. A Government spokesman said that retailers would be able to afford the increased fee easily if they immediately Increased prices by 10 per cent But the spokesman admitted this would match the increase only if the retailer intended to pay quarterly. Retailers claimed that the Government imposed an interest charge on quarterly payments of about 10 per cent which was due in full with the first instalment. Meanwhile, the Minister for Health, Mr Roper said public hospitals in Victoria would face cuts of 1.S per cent in funding after the State Budget Mr Roper said the two per cent cut foreshadowed for all Government departments before the Budget had been met in the health area by a combination of cuts, re-allocation and special revenue measures.

Jack Newton, with his son Clint and daughter Kristie, after leaving the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney yesterday. The golfer spent nine weeks in hospital after losing his right arm and eye in an accident at Sydney Airport on July 24, when he was hit by a propeller. Mr Newton said he had lost almost 19 kilograms "including my arm weight" since the accident. "The doctors told me the propeller my brain by about three-eighths of an inch," he said.

Mr Newton said he would make a decision about his future early next year after his rehabilitation and one more operation on his bowel. One priority after leaving hospital yesterday was to have a round of a different kind at the hotel over the road. His wife, Jackie, commented: "It will do his morale Heavy construction projects hit by the recession kOED CARE AND CANBERRA.
