The Sydney Morning Herald, Thurs, Hay 27, 1971 I WORLD NEWST Sadat reassures Podgorny India hedges on I Bangla Desh i CAIRO, Wednesday. Preliminary talks between the Egyptian President, Mr Sadat, and the Soviet President, Mr Podgorny, have resulted in renewed Soviet pledges of political, economic and military support for Egypt. The authoritative Cairo newspaper "Al Ahram" said that during last night's talks both countries reaffirmed their commitment to work for the liberation of all occupied Arab territory. President Podgorny arrived yesterday, accompanied by a large delegation, which includes the Foreign Minister, Mr Gromyko, for what is termed an unofficial visit. The Soviet leader was given a tumultuous reception as he stepped from his plane for his second visit to Egypt in five months.

Formal talks between the two delegations on political, military and economic relations began this morning. In last night's private talks, President Sadat was understood to have explained the circumstances leading up to the drastic political purge started earlier this month. He was understood to have said the large scale dismissals of Leftists in key positions was a purely internal affair, which had no bearing on relations between Egypt and the Soviet Union. On the eve of the discussions, Egypt's General Prosecutor officially accused the former Vice-President, Mr Sabry, of being the mastermind behind an attempted coup against President Sadat. i Mr Sabry was said to have had close contacts with the Soviet Union, and his dismissal and the wide-scale purge of his associates had stirred speculation abroad that the purges might affect Soviet-Egyptian relations.

A British soldier was killed and 27 people injured when a bomb thrown by a terrorist wrecked a police station last night. The soldier was in the front hall of the two-storey building when a terrorist tossed a suitcase packed with 251b of gelignite through the door. Mr Patrick Gray, 26, was inside the station with his daughter Collette, 4, and a neighbour, Mrs Elizabeth Cummings, 37, and her son Carl 4, when the gelignite exploded.

"I was talking to two detectives when the door burst open and a package was thrown in," Mr Gray said. "Someone shouted, 'bomb' and I saw it was smoking, grabbed Collette and Carl and ran. 'The soldier held the door open for us, and as the bomb went off, I fell on the children. They were only slightly hurt. "If it had not been for that soldier, we would all have been killed.

A magistrate upheld Mrs Read's right to keep her age a secret. Now police, who wanted Mrs Read's age for their computer records, are worried that her defiant stand will start a new trend. Asked her age by a policeman who booked her in Southend, Essex, for a parking offence, Mrs Read, mother of two teenage sons, replied: "I'm over 21."

Mr Heath assured the Labour Party's deputy nine on farms leader.

Mr Roy Jenkins, Although Mr Callaghan did not'irrevocably commit himself against Britain's entry into the Market, he has gone much further than the party leader, Mr H. Wilson, in his scepticism. Anti-Common Marketeers in the Party are convinced that Mr Callaghan is now with them and that he could swing enough opinion to make an anti-Market majority within the party. Some of the other party leaders are trying to swing opinion in favour of the market. In a full-page article today in the "Daily Mirror," Mr Denis Hea-ley, Labour's shadow Foreign Secretary, argues that there is not one socialist party or trade union in the Common Market which does not think that the Common Market has been good for its country and which does not want Britain's entry.

But in Labour Party circles, the intervention of Mr Callaghan in the great debate is seen as the most significant. He has strong links with the Labour grass roots. He is politically very astute, as well as being honest, and he would not be moving down from the fence without the most careful thought. If anything should happen to Mr Wilson, he would be the foremost runner in the Labour leadership stakes. He must feel he knows where the Labour majority on this issue is likely to lie.

This could have a significant effect on Labour Party opinion in the political, battle over Britain's entry. "Honest Jim," as he is often called, can carry much influence within the party and his views on the new situation in the Common Market have been eagerly awaited. Last night he launched a bitter attack on the Prime Minister, Mr Heath, and his alleged concessions to the French, and suggested that Mr Heath might try to sneak a decision on Britain's entry through Parliament "on a hot afternoon early in August while the nation is paddling at the seaside." He referred to President Pompidou's statement that French should be the main language of the Common Market and that English was "the language of America." Millions of Britons, said Mr Callaghan, were surprised to hear that the language of Chaucer, Shakespeare and Milton "must be regarded as an American import from which we must protect ourselves if we are to build a new Europe." He said President Pompidou intended that the Common Market's relations with the United States, the Commonwealth, Africa and Asia, should be determined by a French Continental-European approach. Britain must, in the Common Market, subordinate her views and relations "to the extent of a complete rupture with our identity." T.OS ANGELES Wednesday.

In court, deliriously happy Panther supporters shouted with glee as Judge Mulvey ordered all charges arising from the killing of Black Panther Alex Rack-ley to be dropped.
