GM-H broadens range of Gemini cars Talks on Torres Strait treaty continue By PETER HASTINGS Australian and Papua New Guincan officials spent yesterday discusing fisheries arrangements in the Torres Strait proposed protected zone, as part of talks between the Australian Foreign Minister. Mr Peacock, and his PNG counterpart, Mr Ebia Olewale. The talks will continue to the end of the week.

At present the areas of agreement, yet to be formally concluded by treaty seem to include: PNG acceptance that all inhabited islands remain Australian, together with a three-miles territorial seu. PNG exemption from its own jurisdiction of the uninhabited Deliverance Island, Bramble, Anchor and East Cays and Black Rocks. Australian jurisdiction over these islands is not recognised by Papua New Guinea pending further talks, presumably this week, Australian sovereignty over the Cays and Black Rocks gives it effective control over entry to the Great North East Channel. Dunstan's tour ALGIERS, Wednesday. The Premier of South Australia, Mr Dunstan, arrived yesterday for a three-day official visit and talks with Algerian officials.

He is discussing prospects of increasing co-operation between Algeria and Australia, particularly in agriculture. (AAP-Reuter) By JMV1D ROBERTSON, Motoring Editor General Motors-Holdcn's widened its range of Gemini small cars yesterday. GM-H announced a two-door waggon, a panel van and more luxurious versions of the Gemini four-door sedan and three-door hatchback coupes. With the expanded range, It hopes to sell more than 20,000 1.6-litrc, four-cylinder Geminis in Ihe next year. The existing sedan and coupe Jaya criticised From MARK BAKER PORT MORESBY, Wed-nesday.

The Indonesian Embassy complained today that publicity about rebel forces in Irian Jaya threatened the good relations between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. It attacked my report in The Sydney Morning Herald quoting the claim by a guerilla leader, Jacob Prai, that 9,000 people have died in fighting in Irian Java since January, 1976. It asked PNG to clarify "the extent of freedom given to foreign reporters to act as a mouthpiece of active unfriendly elements or to be engaged in sensational news-hunting in our border areas." The embassy said tha Irianese movement, OPM, was anxious to antagonise PNG and Indo. ncsia and to strain their existing friendship. The Indonesian Government is understood to be pressing PNG to take action against 10 people who were named last week as ministers of the movement's "provisional government of West Papua." The PNG Foreign Affairs Minister, Mr Olewale, has launched an investigation into the activities of the 10.

He has appealed to Papua New Guinean and Irianess leaders not to force his Government's hand and place the country in a difficult position with Indonesia. "We regard, and will continue to regard, Irian Jaya as an integral part of Indonesia and, as such, we will oppose any minority which seeks to involve Papua New Guinea in the domestic affairs of Indonesia," he said. The Gemini is General Motors' first true world car. The Australian version uses an engine made by lsuzu in Japan, body styling by Opel in Germany and body engineering by GM-H. The new models are all fitted with radial tuned suspension.

A detailed evaluation of the new Geminis will appear soon in the Herald's- motoring prices are unchanged in Ihe new model scries. The base car costs $4,616 the SI. sedan $4903 and the SL coupe S3 149. Prices of the four new models are the SLE sedan, the SLE coupe, $6060; and both these new cars have a five-speed gearbox as standard, a first for Holdcn vehicles the station waggon $5,259 and the panel van $4565. Subsequent attempts to put further questions to Mr Maina have failed because the telephone which he answered last week has been unattended.

The letter was received by a person in Melbourne as a result of a request by letter to the secretary of the association at PO Box 119, Mosman, NSW. 2088, seeking information about the organisation. This is the same address listed on the letterhead of the answering letter, which gives a date that corresponds with the date of the first letter. The Herald has seen the originals of both letters, It also contacted Mr Alex Psalti in Melbourne. He is a former Liberal Party member who is now a member of the National Party and is prominently associated with the Right in Victoria.

Mr Psalti said he knew Mr Maina and that "it is quite natural that the good Liberals, that is those who are about the Menzies philosophy, should be trying to get the socialists out of the Liberal Party." "I find nothing unnatural or unusual for a real Liberal to be writing to another Liberal there is nothing subversive about that." A Mr N. Maina stood in the 1974 Senate elections as Mr Nick "White Australia" Maina and expelled from the Liberal Party because, as a member, he had stood against the endorsed candidate. It is understood that he was re-admitted to the Liberal Party last year and is a member of the Mosman West branch. By UN FRYKBERG, Stat Political Correspondent The selection of candidates for the Legislative Council is expected to provide the next open show of strength by the ultra-conservative Right of the NSW Liberal Party. The party has called a special meeting of its NSW State Council on Monday night to discuss procedures for choosing the candidates if the June 17 referendum to change the Council is successful.

A clash between the ultra-conservatives and the moderates is likely. Normally, selection for the Legislative Council is decided by the full State executive plus one person from each State electorate. However, the executive, which Is, controlled by the moderates, has recommended that the selection be made by the full executive and the presidents of the State Electorate Councils from each electorate, The Right is sponsoring a move to have the selection made by the executive plus any other person from the State Electorate Councils, not necessarily the president. The Right feels that it would be easier to have its candidates selected under this system than by the executive's scheme. Usually only about 250 mem-ben of the 800-strong State Council attend the normal quarterly meetings, but efforts are being made by both sides to ensure a strong attendance on Monday.

trating on the immigration question." the letter says. The letter has the signature of Mr N. Maina, JP, "for Major R. Ashley-Riddle, membership secretary." Major Ashley-Riddle, who is involved in a controversy surrounding allegations that the Right took control of the Rose Bay branch of the Liberal Party unconstitutionally, denies any knowledge of the letter and stated that he was a member of the association but resigned in 1976. This is confirmed by a statutory declaration by Mr N.

Maina, the secretary of the NSW Division of the National Australian Association, which states that Major Ashley-Riddle has not authorised any letters on behalf of the association. The statutory declaration given to a solicitor acting for Major Ashley-Riddle says that Major Ashley-Riddle was not involved in any letter from the association, but makes no mention of the authenticity or otherwise of the letter. When first approached by the Herald about the letter last week Mr Maina denied that he was involved in the association. He later agreed that he was involved but denied any knowledge of the letter, claiming it was a forgery. Monday's meeting will be followed on Friday night by a State executive meeting at which it is expected that the activities of the Right will be given a full airing.

One of the documents that is expected to be discussed is a copy of a letter claiming that a right-wing organisation, the National Australian Association, has made significant inroads into the Liberal Party in NSW. The letter says that the organisation has taken over 60 branches of the Liberal Parly and secured about 151) places on the State Council. It suggests that the person to whom it is addressed should contact a Mr Alex Psalli or Erick Von Mollcr in Melbourne if "you wish to take part in these activities and play an active part in throwing out the lefties and mulli-racialists." The letter, dated earlier this month, states that the National Australian Association in NSW had recently united with another right-wing organisation, the Heritage Society, "which is a division of the League of Rights and this gives us offices in all the major Commonwealth countries, Rhodesia and South Africa. "We are maintaining the NAA however as a front and concen Remand on Kurri death Stephen Barry Bush, 19, a labourer of Rawson Street, Kurri, was charged in Kurri Court of Petty Sessions yesterday with the murder of Darren John Fisher at Kurri on April 20. Opposing bail, the police prosecutor.

Sergeant C. Fraser, told Mr R. Meeehan, SM, that police had real fears that Bush would be in danger if allowed to go free on bail. Sergeant Fraser said it was alleged Bush had gone to the Catholic Hall at Kurri and had Fisher brought outside on the pretext that he wanted to see him. Bush had (hen taken 13-year-old Fisher to the rear of a clothing factory and sexually assaulted him.

It was alleged that Bush had then repeatedly struck Fisher on the head with a piece of concrete. Mr Meehan refused bail and remanded Bush to May 3.

AS NEAR PERFECT AS GERMAN TECHNOLOGY CAN MAKE IT, AND AS DYNAMIC AS ONLY A BMW CAN BE. Duty rise on some cars CANBERRA. Changes to depreciation rates announced yesterday by the Minister for Business and Consumer Affairs, Mr Fife, will make it more expensive for some people to bring back cars from overseas. Depreciation rates used in the Customs valuation of duty on the car have been reduced from a maximum of 50 per cent to a maximum of 13 per cent. The new rates will not affect people who have owned their car overseas for more than 15 months.

Officials aaid 1,500 cars had been brought in under the depreciation-rates scheme in the past financial year. Jakarta, Wednesday.

Twin exterior mirrors are electrically operated from the driving position and the heat insulating, tinted windows are also electrically operated. In fact the In short, a car which would completely redefine the criteria of prestige motoring. The result is an exceptional luxury car and a different one: the BMW 733i. Technology of comfort and stability the new suspension No conventional front suspension arrangement existed that would completely fulfil BMW's criteria of limousine comfort and taut, responsive handling.

The unique double pivot front suspension system devised by BMW results in better ride, reduced nose dive under braking and improved straight line stability and steering return. To put it into context, if you've ever had white knuckles at the steering wheel after hitting accumulated water with the nearside wheels only, you'll fully appreciate the effects that have been virtually eliminated. The new system exceeds all the accepted standards of comfort and safety in luxury car travel. Hydraulic assistance for brakes and steering another The conventional approach to power assisted brakes is the utilisation of engine vacuum. But under such systems the tapping of large amounts of engine vacuum reduces engine efficiency, and power assistance reserves are drastically reduced after engine switch off.

The BMW 733i incorporates an entirely new central hydraulic power assistance system that serves both brakes and steering. Stopping power through the twin circuit four wheel disc brakes is massive, yet superb pedal 'feel' is retained. The braking circuits are now diagonally separate in the unlikely, event of a circuit failure, stability is retained as one front wheel and one rear wheel are always braked. Steering assistance through the new system is progressively reduced as road speed increases. The driver retains road 'feel' under all conditions.

In this way dynamic driving qualities and ease of operation are not compromised: 'Total performance' the BMW philosophy.
