By our Industrial Staff A plan to settle the crippling oil dispute was hammered out during 10 hours of talks in Canberra yesterday. The President of the Arbitration Commission, Sir John Moore, issued a 29-word statement last night raising hope that petrol, supplies could be flowing again soon. The breakthrough came at the end of a day in which service station owners threatened to defy the State Government and begin selling petrol to the public tomorrow unless the Government reorganises its essential services scheme. In another development, the Transport Workers' Union lodged an appeal against the interim injunction awarded against the union, which sparked off the strike. The hearing of the appeal is understood to have been set down for mention in the Federal Court, Melbourne, today or tomorrow.

Men to consider new proposals IT may be the Hunter Valley's driest season in 35 years but it rained for Colr-in 8 yesterday. Saxonvale Wine flew a gaggle of journalists to the Hunter in a piece of aviation history the DC-3 for the opening of a historic stone cottage by the Minister for Tourism, Ken Booth. Mr Booth described the area as "grope graying I mean grape growing." "I've only had one drink," he added hastily. THE Hunter's crop is well down on last year and needs eight inches of rain in a month to end the. drought, said Saxonvale's manager-winemaker, Mark Cash-more.

The Seventies were difficult because of changed national drinking habits. "Ten years drank three red to one white wine. Now it's five white to one red," he said. To offset this, winemakers have grafted white varieties on to red vines an expensive process. And if the public changes its drinking patterns again? "I'll go back to school teaching," Mr Cash-more said.

The operation will probably be carried out in a private hospital in Panama City. The Shah and his family have been living on a Panamanian island, Contadora, since December. 'The Shah is suffering from an enlarged spleen, severe anaemia and a low white blood cell count, according to his New York doctor. New wool talks The secretary of the ACTU, Mr Peter Nolan, has arranged talks in Melbourne today aimed at settling the wool dispute.

He left the oil industry negotiations to arrange the meeting as woolgrowers announced they were ready to move wool from Sydney themselves. Page 3.

He was acquitted of the charge of murdering Veronica Knight, 18, the first of the seven girls and young women to die in the seven weeks between December 23, 1976, and February 12, 1977.

He was convicted of murdering Tania Kenny, 15, Juliet Mykyta, 15, Sylvia Pittmann, 16, Vicki Howell, 26, Connie Iordanides, 16, and Deborah Lamb, 20. The Crown alleged in the trial that Miller had been part of a joint plan and enterprise with Christopher Robin Worrell to pick up girls and murder them. Worrell died in a car accident on February 19, 1977. The jury of six men and six women took eight hours to reach a verdict on the seven charges.

Last night Mr Hills said he would be talking to the president of the Service Station Association, Mr Alf Parker, this morning, but in no circumstances would contract drivers be used to shift petrol from refineries. A State Cabinet sub-committee headed by the Premier, Mr Wran, was still discussing the strike late last night, but had issued no statement on the proprietors' threat to open on Friday. Mr Wran and senior ministers will meet with representatives of the TWU this The State Council of the NSW Service Station Association decided yesterday afternoon to give Mr Hills 24-hours to re-organise the essential services petrol scheme or it would "take the issue into its own hands." The council of about 40 members declared that the scheme was in chaos and unnecessarily affecting the community.

Mr Parker said after the meeting that the association told Mr Hills that if he did not convene a meeting of ail parties, including the association within 24-hours, it would instruct its members to open their stations and make their own decision on who would get petrol. He said the association knew that service stations which did this were liable to fines of up to $1,000. "The point is that we either make petrol available to all essential services or the State starves to death by the weekend," Mr Parker said. "We know this is an extreme measure but the men at the meeting today were prepared for tough measures," he said. The meeting yesterday decided to call a mass meeting of service station owners at the Petersham Town Hall at noon tomorrow.

Yesterday's dramatic development in Sydney came as petrol rationing was imposed in Victoria and foreshadowed in South Australia but after the slow strangulation of commercial activity in NSW had been eased slightly by State Government action. About midday yesterday the State Government, acting under its emergency powers, took steps to try to ensure that perishable foodstuffs get to shops this week.

By MALCOLM BROWN The act that caused 100,000 lottery ticket holders, or members of syndicates, to hold their breath and perhaps miss a fe heart beats as they crowded round TV sets last night took only a few seconds.

The man who starred in that moment of tension the difference between a million dollar win and a probable $20 loss was the veteran radio star, Gary O'Callaghan. His comment, after plucking the winning marble from the big red lottery barrel, was appropriate: "I didn't drop it that's the main thing." But it marked the beginning of what is expected to be a three or four times a year event million dollar lotteries run by the NSW Lotteries Office. The next one is in May. The first prize winner last night was the "6 of Us" syndicate, of Bonnyrigg, near Fairfield, which bought the ticket, Number 77161, at a Fairfield lottery office, marking the address "not for publication." Change in way of life If, as the name suggests, there are six in the syndicate, there is still a lot to go around. For this lucky group, life is likely to be a lot different this morning.

Second prize, of $100,000, went to St Patrick Syndicate, formed by Mr and Mrs Ivor Brown, of Girra Close, Tam-worth. The third prize of $20,000 was won by "Desperate" syndicate, of Hillsborough, Newcastle and bought at the Newcastle Co-op Store, with address also listed "not for publication." The event, timed for 6.45 pm at the NSW Lotteries Office, Burwood, was a prestige event, attended by politicians, Treasury and police representatives, and televised live. Mr O'Callaghan, who brought his wife and daughter along (but not Sammy Sparrow), was nervous, but managed to joke. The only thing better he could give someone, he said, was "a thousand gallons of petrol." Mr Ron Cavanino, the Fairfield lottery who sold the winning ticket, was present when the prizes were drawn. He was delighted, but could not remember the actual ticket.

He had been selling tickets at his Fairfield and Cabramatta offices since 1974 and his customers had had success, but he had never cracked the big one. $1m boost PLAIN language in a sign at a Blackheath park "Be Tidy, Be Decent or Be Fined.

For a moment the court was in turmoil as another woman in the gallery screamed at Mr Justice Matheson: "You are just as guilty for letting Worrell out on parole." A policeman said, "Watch it," and she replied, "I don't care, charge me.

Why did you let Worrell out in the first place?" Earlier, as the jury foreman gave the verdict, two women sobbed loudly and were led from the courtroom. Miller showed no-emotion as he faced the jury. When asked if he had anything to say before being sentenced Miller said: "Nothing except I am not guilty." Earlier in the proceedings yesterday a young woman caused uproar in the court when she began shouting at Miller: "He's guilty, he's guilty, he's guilty. He has to be taken out of the community." As police moved towards her she screamed out: "Don't touch me, don't touch me." This outburst came not long after Mr Justice Matheson began his summing up. After the outburst the woman, in her late 20s, headed towards a locked door at the rear of the courtroom.

Police took the woman by the arm and led her out of a door on the opposite side of the room. Mr Justice Matheson told the jury to disregard the incident, Sir John Moore's statement said: "A proposal for an agreement between the Transport Workers' Union and the oil companies has been drawn up for consideration by members of the union as soon as possible." The federal secretary of the TWU, Mr Ivan Hodgson, declined to comment any further or indicate when the NSW branch of the union would call its 800 striking oil tanker drivers together to consider the proposal and a return to work. However, the executive director of the Oil Industry Industrial Secretariat, Mr Laurie Armstrong, said when asked for his reaction to last night's development: "I am happy, yes." Neither party would reveal the contents of the proposed agreement. The oil companies are understood to have made significant concessions to the TWU in the growing use of contract drivers, which the TWU claims is at the expense of members employed under the Federal Oil Companies Transport Workers' Award. In return, the union is also expected to consider an undertaking to prosecute breaches of the award involving drivers employed by fuel agents and distributors.

When union oil industry delegates are called together to consider last night's developments depends on how soon union officials are able to return to Sydney. The delegates first have to consider the proposals before they are put to the striking 800 tanker drivers. Ministers in discussions If the union cannot get the delegates together this afternoon their meeting is expected to take place tomorrow, followed by the meeting of drivers, possibly on Saturday. If the proposals prove acceptable, petrol could be delivered to service stations early in the weekend. The TWU and oil company representatives met privately for most of yesterday.

This was because Sir John Moore was also involved in a Full Bench hearing of a demarcation dispute on which union should do the landscaping work for the area surrounding the new High Court building. The service station proprietors, members of the NSW Service Station Association, proposed to the NSW Minister for Industrial Relations and Energy, Mr Hills, yesterday that contract drivers should be allowed to take petrol from the Sydney refineries to the service stations, which at present are holding an average of only half a dav's stocks. With industry and commerce coming to a halt, private motorists starved for petrol, and growing bitterness on all sides, the reopening of service stations with use of contract drivers could lead to trouble at refineries and service stations. The use of contract drivers is a major issue in the dispute. The immediate reaction last night of Mr Simon Crean, Federal secretary of the Store-men and Packers' Union, whose members load tankers at the refineries, was: "Our members will not assist in strike-breaking." "It is a funny thing.

We sell something like 17,000 lottery tickets every week. We have cracked all the other ones $200,000 once, and $60,000, but only four second places in the half million dollar lottery." The director of NSW Lotteries, Mr Jack Cape, said the response to million dollar lottery number one had been so overwhelming that the office had decided to promote the next one towards the end of May. The 100,000 tickets, at $20 each, had started selling on March 3 and had taken four and half days to sell out. The previous top lottery, with a $500,000 first prize, began in January, 1967, and has now been drawn 104 times. The reason for the introduction of a one million dollar first prize? "People are very interested in the opportunity of winning one million dollars." The NSW Lotto prize, to be drawn next Monday, is expected to come to million, according to the general manager of Lotto Management Services Pty Ltd Mr Glenn Barry.

Mr Ivor Brown felt as though he had kissed the Blarney Stone when his ticket won him second prize in the million dollar lottery last night. "My wife Anne, bought it for me because my birthday falls on St Patrick's Day on March 17," Mr Brown said from his Tamworth home last night. "I'll be 39 but I feel 21 tonight." Mr Brown, a concrete worker, said he still felt "a bit shaky" after watching the draw on television. "I had the ticket in front of me because I reckoned I was going to win first prize. "I was disappointed when that went off but when my number came up second you could have knocked me over with a feather," he said.
