He believed the child had arrived at Nowra too NEW Ansett Airlines TIMETABLE From JOHN WAUGH, Staff Correspondent PORT MORESBY, Monday. The Governor-General, Sir John Guise, asked the Prime Minister, Mr Somare, to release him from his post today. Sii" John's request, believed to be the result of a long-simmering dispute, was by hand to Mr Somare's office. He is believed to have pledged his loyalty to Mr Somare personally but to have told the Prime Minister that, should he not be released from his post, he would resign before or during the Queen's visit to Papua New Guinea in March.

Sir John is believed to want to contest the next general elections to be held in May or June. He is likely to be a supporter of the Papua Party, which is considering joining the United Parly to contest the elections. Only a few months ago, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Defence and Overseas Trade, Sir Maori Kiki, demanded that Sir John stop meddling in politics, or resign. Sir John was elected Governor-General by (he Parliament in July, 1975, and has distinguished himself in his attempts to work for the ordinary people.

I I Phone inquiry service on VD A telephone information service aimed at people who arc reluctant about seeking ttcat-ment for venereal disease has been set up by the Health Commission of NSW. The service is the first of its kind in Australia. The chairman of the Health Commission, Dr Roderick McLwin, said a recorded message would explain the signs and symptoms of veneral disease "in plain, simple lan-gauge." He said the commission was trying to reverse the alarming increase in VD among young people. The service would encourage those who were too afraid or embarrassed to sec a doctor or ask advice.

Dr McEwin said VD had become the most common infectious disease alter the common cold. In NSW 3.532 cases of gonorrhoea and 692 syphilis cases were reported last year, he said. "This is 1 50 per cent more than 20 years ago, despite greatly improved methods of treatment," he r.aid. "But because of severe undernotification the true incidence of the disease in NSW was conservatively estimated al 25.000 cases a year." The introduction of the service was the commission's response to a recent recommendation by a special meeting of the World Health Organisation for anonymous telephone information services as part of a more concentrated campaign against VD. he said.

In the peak morning period yesterday international and domestic airline departures were delayed for up to an hour itr Sydney.

The controllers lifted the, "work to rule in Sydney for almost two hours from 10 am to clear a backlog of more than 20 aircraft. The 1 industrial officer ofihc men's union, the Civil Air Operations Officers' Association. Mr Bob Garlick. said this was because the delays "far exceeded what we fcl was fair to the traveling public and were more than were needed for us to make our point." By late yesterday afternoon delays around Australia were about 10 minutes. TAA cancelled four services from Sydney yesterday morning huj; placed all passengers on-alternative flights.

Mr Garlick said the woxk to rule was called last- Friday because the Results of typhoid tests on 17 people in contact with a case detected last Friday are expected today.

Wilton had been arrested by Federal narcotics agents on a drug charge and was believed to be wanted for the murder of a policeman or jail guard in Mexico. Mr Mclntyre said. The commune had a reputation as a haven for criminals, he said, and information was also coming in all the time that marihuana and other drugs were being grown there.

The magistrate. Mr B. J. Scanlan, took 15 minutes to read out the 25 charges, which listed the owners of the dwellings allegedly burnt or otherwise destroyed at Cedar Bay. The charges also described the contents of the dwellings which were allegedly destroyed, ranging from baby clothes to pig tusks.

Mr Mclntyre said that on September 1 he received an instruction from Assistant Commissioner Hale in Brisbane to have Inspector Gray, who led the raid, furnish a report on police actions at Cedar Bay.

Why should women's pairs seeking selection for a women's championship be obliged to play against pairs which arc entered in a different tournament? It is easy to run the tournaments separately and simultaneously, instead of mixing players in what has been likened to an Irish stew. The tournament committee, hard-working and sincere (but I think misguided in this case), might ponder the story of two Boy Scouts whose good deed for the day was "taking an old lady across the road."

The chances of Mr Somare's coalition Government's retaining power in the general elections received a setback today with the announcement by the newly-fonned Panua Bjs-ena organisation that it is considering a coalition with the Opposition United Party. Miss Josephine Abai-jah. the Papua separatist leader who tried to take Papua out of Papua New Guinea 18 months ago. made the announcement. She said her organisation would decide whether to join the highlands-based United Party after it had worked out its platform in the next few weeks.

The United Party already has agreed to accept the Papua organisation and the announcement of a possible coalition had been expected for some months. The United Party, which holds 33 scats in the PNG Parliament, making it the largest single party, is expected to pick up a number of seats in the tortricoming first-past-the-post election and take its total to about 46. if not more than a 52 majority. The Papua Party, al though 'holding only two scats, looks likely to win 12. at least.

The Governor-General, Sir John Guise, handed the Australian Prime Minister, Mr Fraser. a demand today that the Australian Government should pay war-service pensions to Papua New Guineans who served with the Australian forces in World War II. The Governor-General, who has been pushing Ihc issue for some years, is believed to have made his demand in a letter he nan ikd to the Prime Minis- ler at Government House when Mr Fraser made a half-hour courtesv call.

Mr Fraser said later he could noi comment on the subject. However, the Australian Government is unlikely to agree to pay pensions to PNG "duly-attested members of the Australian Military Forces serving in a designated war zone." The Australian system is to pay pensions only to those with disabilities.

Canberra Department of Transport refused to implement two of 19 proposals that previously had been agreed to unanimously by a working party consisting of the association, the department and the Public Service Board.

Both proposals involve air traffic controllers being able to exercise their discretion where they felt laid-down procc dures were not appro priate. Yesterday. industrial officers from the three groups in the working party were called to compulsory conference before the Deputy Public Service Arbitrator, Mr R. H. Watson.

Mr Garlick said his association had made one proposal which the par-tics would consider over night helore the conference resumed at 10.30 this morning. He said that as the conference was private he was prohibited Irom making details of the proposal public.

Mrs Nixon, overcome with grief, had to be helped into and from the crematorium. The Rev Tony Winter, from Newtown Methodist Mission, conducted the service. He said the tragic circumstances of Wayne's death seemed almost unreal, because he was a boy whose interests were far removed from violence. These interests included the beach and surfing, serving the community through the Cubs, and music. Wayne particularly liked Maori music.
