EtiKlhb niiaiui IV tZnmm SAFER SIGNALS ON BUSY LINE Change-Over To-day By our own Reporter Railway-men will work for 36 hours this week-end to complete the installation of a new, coloured-light signalling system between Levenshulme and Stockport on the main Manchester-Euston line.

It will increase efficiency and safety, and speed up the service, particularly in fog and baa weather. This stretch of the four-line track carries about four hundred trains a day. The last stage of the change-over from the semaphore system will begin at 6 ip.m. to-day. The operation of the points and the new signals will be transferred to a new signal-box at Heaton Norris, and all the work is expected to be completed by 6 a.m.

on Monday, in time for the morning rush. The cost of the installation, which includes the new signal-box and alterations to the Stockport No. 2 box. is about 170.000. but an official said that the capital cost would be offset by the increased efficiency and a saving in manpower.

The new Heaton Norris box will replace four smaller signal boxes, and will mean a saving of eight trained signalmen. The new signal-box is one of the most modern in the region. The position of each train is indicated by electric lights on a white panel above the signal levers as it passes through each section on the four lines between the boxes at Heaton Norris and Levenshulme. Power for the new system is obtained from the mains, but there is an auxiliary system in case of breakdown. Any failure of the mains supply will automatically start a diesel engine and alternator, which will be ready to take over the supply within seven seconds.

A similar system of signalling is already in operation at other main junctions, such as Stafford, and eventually it will be extended to Longsight and then to Manchester (London Road). Channel. Iris Sa: Sea moderate. r-3ar MJN Rtvc 'Manthrsicri 6 4R Sen MlXJN Rues Manchesier 2 22 m. sets 5 12 m.

C. Grime Cup, entries for which were recently exhibited at the Central Library, Manchester, has been awarded to Mr H. Milligan for this photograph taken in the St George's clearance area, Hulme. Entries are assessed by two judges, one for photographic skill and one for documentary record value. Of this pictut-e Mr Sidney Horrocks, the Reference Librarian, says It is really an important social document.

It shows a corner shop of the type so frequently included as an integral part of Victorian neighbourhood planning, as well as the back-to-back method of property building Sir Hartley Shawcross declared' yesterday that the revolt within the Parliamentary Labour party executed on Wednesday by Mr Bevan and his friends had been a calculated and offensive attempt to undermine Mr Attlee's authority. It had been in Sir Hartley's experience unequalled by anyone pretending to accept the obligations of loyalty to the Labour party. He was discussing in a message to his constituents at St Helens the conduct of the 62 Labour members who abstained from voting for the Opposition amendment to the Government Statement on Defence and Mr Bevan's direct and public challenge to Mr Attlee to define Labour's policy about the use of the hydrogen bomb. The Parliamentary Labour party will discuss the same subject on Wednesday. The amendment which Mr Bevan and his supporters refused to support had been drafted in its name.

Their action was therefore contrary to the considered policy not only of the Opposition Front Bench, but also to that of the majority of their parliamentary colleagues. Mr Bevan lent further emphasis to what is held to be an open revolt by asking Mr Attlee in the House to define the real meaning of the Opposition's amendment. His own contention or demand was that the Labour party should dissociate itself from any plan to use the hydrogen bomb against "any" form of attack. He maintained that Labour had never agreed to use nuclear weapons against conventional forces "Conduct of this kind." Sir Hartley said to his constituents, "is well calculated to hold our party up to ridicule and contempt." He said that he had sympathised with those Labour members who had voted, or abstained, for conscientious reasons, but thought that "grave harm" had been done by so-called Left-wing members who had done so without any serious pretence at conscientious objection. Sir Hartley said that he had voted for the Labour party's amendment both in loyalty to the party's decision and because I think that the policy as at present envisaged is quite beyond the country's economic and manpower capacity." He continued mass destruction, wotmng' coma prevent our enemies reaching the Channel coast, from which they could quite quickly subjugate us.

Best Hope for Peace There would be no chance for us to use the bomb if it had first been used against us. Nobody would doubt the folly of a small man armed with a pistol and about to be attacked by a great bully, with a bludgeon, telling his assailant that he would throw away the pistol and leave the bully free to wieid his bludgeon. The best hope for maintaining Deace now is to-make it quite apparent to every-bodv that war is suicidal. In these matters we would all do well to agree with the responsible, statesmanlike views expressed bv Mr Attlee. I was myself brought up in a pacific atmosphere.

I hope I have as profound a respect for human life as most people- I therefore sympathise with those who abstained from voting for the Labour party's amendment on conscientious grounds. Indeed I admire them." "U.S. VETOED TALKS" Labour M.P. on Why He Abstained Mr Harold Davies. Labour M.P.

for Leek, declared at Broughton, near Chester, last night that the Labour party must demand the abandonment of the hydrogen bomb race and insist on talks with Russia now. Mr Davies, who was one of the Labour M.P.s who abstained from voting on the Opposition amendment on defence in the Commons on Wednesday, said "Sir Winston Churchill's intervention during Mr Bevan's speech in the defence debate revealed the stark truth. The United States vetoed Great Power talks on the hydrogen bomb.

L. G. Vining The Most Rev. Leslie Gordon Vining, Archbishop of West Africa, died at sea aboard the mailboat Apapa yesterday, states a British United Press report. He had left Lagos on Tuesday after several weeks of extreme ill-health.

The Apapa is due to-day at Freetown, Sierra Leone, where, it is understood, the Archbishop will be burjed. Dr Vining went to Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and Ridley Hall. After being a curate in Sunderland, domestic chaplain to the Bishop of Bristol, and an Army chaplain, he was for twenty years Vicar of St Albans, Westbury park. He went out to West Africa in 1938 and was Assistant Bishop on the Niger until 1940. when he became Bishop of Lagos.

The union's chief contribution to this is the suggestion that no single remission of tax could contribute more to a general reduction of prices than a remission of the fuel tax. The council expressed grave concern with the transport situation because of the disposal of Mr Arthur Deakin, the general secretary of the Transport and General Workers' Union, speaking at a meeting in London yesterday of the union's Executive Council, said that the union had increased its affiliation to the Labour party from 835JJ0O to one million. This will cost the union another 6,000 or so a year in affiliation fees. The card vote of a million will, of course, be the biggest single vote at the Labour party conference. The 165,000 new votes will strengthen the Right wing of the party, but Mr Deakin did not for a moment suggest that the union had increased its affiliation for partisan j4?

The court was adjourned until to-day. On Tuesday the court refused to accept Russell's plea of guilty, and adiourned the case until yesterday for witnesses to be called. Detective-Constable H. Donmson said he saw Russell in Cumberland Infirmary and told him he believed he had trespassed on the railway and placed his right toot on the line, and that an engine had passed over it Lieutenant J.

Referring to Labour differences she said We don't say. 'Yes' every lime the boss says what we ought to do. I have got to search my conscience.

Chuck me out of the Labour party if vou like. But I am not prepared to lend my support to this country making the next war, a war in which we begin by dropping the hydrogen bomb on Russian cities when, as yet, they have shown no signs of using it against us. I am not speaking 'as a pacifist and would vote reasonable defence until we get disarmament. The West has, however, military dominance. If thev are not prepared to use it to negotiate for peace now then any arms I vote for would be arms for war." Some unions automatically affiliate on the exact number of their members who port employers desire tor a revised dock labour scheme, and the matter will be raised at the next meeting of the trade union side of the National Joint Council for the Port Transport Industry "The Government have not made the arrangements necessary to co-ordinate the production with the other N.A.T.O.

countries so as to avoid wasteful overlapping, nor have they ensured that the financial burden of defence should be shared equitably by means of a common defence budget for the N.A.T.O. countries. The Labour motion having been defeated I also voted against the substantive motion approving the Government's White Paper policy. I did so for the same reasons, but with hesitation and in loyalty to the party decision.

SIR ANDREW AGNEW Sir Andrew Agnew, who as war-time chairman of the Petroleum Board was one of the men responsible for the thousand-mile pipeline which supplied fuel to the Allied invasion armies in France and Germany, died yesterday, aged 73. Sir Andrew spent more than fifty years with the Shell oil group, and was managing director the Shell Transport and Trading Company when he retired last year. He began his career in the East, and was formerly a member of the Legislative Council of the Straits Settlement. He was knighted in 1938. MR W.

GREENWOOD Mr William Greenwood, a former Mayor of Salford, died in a nursing home yesterday aged 86. A Conservative, he was twice the victim of the Salford Labour group's policy of monopolising the aldermanic seats. He was unseated in 1935, when Labour had a momentary majority, but was back within three weeks as councillor after a hard-fought by-election. He was reappointed as an alderman, and was again unseated in 1946. He was for many years chairman of the Watch arid Transport Committee.

He won many prizes as a runner in his youth, and took a lifelong interest in amateur sport. He was a former president of the Northern Counties Athletic Association, and helped to form the Central Lancashire Cricket League. MR R. P. WATSON Mr Reginald P.

Watson, of Halevon, Hereford Road, Sale, died on Wednesday after a short illness at the age of 57. He was the chairman and founder of the Manchester and District Rambling Club for the Blind, which celebrated its twentv-first anniversary in September. Mr Watson, who was himself blind and was a piano-tuner, was also chairman of the Manchester Branch of the National Federation of the Blind. and tne oraer universities. Russell, called to give evidence of his condition, said he did not know who Detective Donnison was when he first saw him.

The prosecution accepted a plea of not guilty to a charge of attempting to murder her. It was stated that the police found Miss Grierson unconscious after receiving an emergency call from Swann.

He told them that both he and the girl had drunk from a mixture of lemonade and sodium cyanide The Judge said he was not entirely happy about accepting Swann's plea of not guilty to the major charge, but if there were a trial on this charge Miss Grierson would have to give evidence. He told Swann: "You arranged with this young girl that she should drink poison upon your promise that you would do the same thing. But I am not satisfied you drank anything at all. The case has been put before me in terms of romantic love. I cannot accept it for one single moment." trist, stationed at Chester, said Russell during his examination told him he placed his foot on the line because he was fed up with the Army."

SEARCH FOR SAINT'S BURIAL PLACE Doubts Remain A search in Lincoln Cathedral has failed to establish the actual burial place of Saint Hugh of Lincoln, who died in 1200. A cathedral spokesman said yesterday that, with the permission of the Home Secretary, search had been made in the chapter house and a number of coffins had been opened. The search was supervised by Sir Wilfred De Gros Clark, the man who exposed the Piltdown skull forgery, Mr Rupert Bruce Mitford, and Dr H.

J. Plender-leith, of the British Museum. Interest, the spokesman continues, had been centred on one coffin where the recess for the head seemed to be empty. With this skeleton were robes, chalice, and a paten on the floor were crushed fragments of a skull suggesting that the rest of the skull had been removed. Doubt arose as to whether there had been a hurried reburial of Saint Hugh's body, because other bones' were in their proper position suggesting that at the time of burial the body was there as a whole.

No certain conclusions can therefore be reached." the spokesman said. and he had nownere to go result will be announced. DELAY IN BUILDING FACTORY DENIED Weather Only Trouble Holland arid Hannen and Cubitts, of Liverpool, the contractors working on the Milliard, factory at Simonstone, yesterday commented on a statement by Alderman H. W. Throup, chairman of Nelson Corporation Development Committee that hundreds of hours of working time had been wasted because the architect had chosen to use London bricks instead of those made locally.

The statement said The architect specified Deerplay bricks, which are selected commons made by Accrington Brick and Tile but that company could not supply the bricks to meet our programme. Bricks of the quality and quantity required could not be obtained locally, but we had guaranteed delivery of the right type of bricks from London Brick Co. We have never been held up by shortage of bricks at Simonstone. The only cause of delav has been the weather. But in spite of the weather we are almost on time with our programme An official of Accrington Brick and Tile Company said We told the architects we could not supply the whole of their demand from our Deerplay works in the time specified, but we have supplied and are still supplying a tremendous quantity of bricks for the Simonstone factorv.

In addition to the bricks from the Deerplay factorv we are supplying from our Nori works all the facing bricks for the Simonstone factory. BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS 31- per line.

TUGMEN WIN HALF THEIR CHARTER No Action on Rest Yet Nearly all the five hundred tugboat-men who work the ocean-going ships in the Mersey heard at a Liverpool meeting yesterday the result of prolonged negotiation for improved pay and conditions between Liverpool Steam Tug Owners' Association and the Transport and General Workers' Union. The men ware told that of a nine-point charter the employers were prepared to accept five, relating to the granting of extra days off for statutory holidays worked, double time for Sunday work, and certain' increased overtime rates. The employers rejected four clauses, relating to a shorter working week, the payment for al! overtime of time and a half instead of time and a third, and alternative nights off.

By 250 to 184 the men decided to accept the employers' offer on the five points and to take no action for at least eight weeks pending further negotiation on the four points outstanding.

Nicholas, says that the lower accident rate per 10.000 vehicles suggests that the various measures taken to promote road safety have more than offset the increase in accidents which might have been expected because of the greater number of vehicles using the roads. A member of the branch said after the meeting that the appeals of all three men fined by the executive had failed. Now it's up to the executive.

COTTON MILLS ON SHORT TIME Over a hundred workers have been idle this week at the Redcross Street mill of James Nelson, at Rochdale, and notices have been posted at the Balderstone mill and the Facit mill, saying that a four-day week is being introduced. These two mills employ together about four hundred workers.

It was reported yesterday that the mill of the Whitworth Doubling which is controlled by Crosses and Heatons, of Bolton, will cease production when present orders are fulfilled. Just under a hundred workers are affected by the decision of Gill Stans-field and Sons, textile manufacturers, to close their Whitefield mil! at Nelson on Monday for a week because stocks have been accumulating. The letter is from J. M. Gpodleff.
