A 6 THE 'MANCHESTER GUARDIAN THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 15, 1955 "INTENSELY REGIONAL" POLICY OF NEW TV: CONTRACTOR Programmes for Midlands and the North From our London Staff, twenty-four hours -of its birth as a programme contractor for commercial television, Associated British Cinemas (Television), has announced its plans for the week-end entertainment. of viewers in the Midlands, Lancashire, and Yorkshire. It intends to supply a much greater. proportion of regional programmes than is carried by the. B.B.C.

whether they be sport, interest, entertainment, or general information." At a press conference in London yesterday the firm's managing director, Mr Howard Thomas, explained that one of the chief attractions would be a travelling show which would visit series of towns and cities in the. Midlands North. This show, comprising a band or orchestra well as well-known actors. or soloists with a strong local connection, would be televised from convenient theatres and cinemas by an outside broadcasting We also hope to do outside of concerts. by symphony orchestras, and studio or theatre performances of plays by selected local repertory companies reinforced by a guest star." "For the Millions" Saturday afternoons will be mainly devoted to sports programmes of particular interest to the regions--not only games between Northern and Midland teams but also such' essentially North Country sport' as League cricket, Northern Union Rugby, and pony trotting.

Saturday evening entertainment will be regarded as for the millions" and will include well-known international performers, although there will also be a domestic serial on North Country life. Mr Thomas said it was too early to say whether this would be in the spirit of the Archers," 4 Mrs Dale's or The Grove Family." Special care will be taken apparently to ensure that none of the Sunday programmes fails to the high standard that the company believes will be demanded by the N.A.S.D. CRITICISMS OF SCHEME Appeals as Evidence The results of appeals against decisions. of the Dock Labour Board Tribunal in Liverpool will be used by officials of the northern section of the National Amalgamated Stevedores and Dockers, at an inquiry in London on October 18 into the Dock Labour Scheme; as evidence of the maladministration of the scheme. The appeals were heard in Liverpool yesterday.

Mr William Johnson, who described as an area officer of the section, said that a three-day suspension on.a docker for making certain remarks to a member of the Transport and General Workers Union was lifted. In another case, a suspension of seven days for similar misconduct toward the vice chairman of Birkenhead branch of the T.G.W.U., was reduced to four days. An appeal by Mr Peter Kerrigan, chairman of the Merseyside sectional committee, against a seven-day for impeding a port officer in duty" was adjourned sine die. Mill Johnson said: Members of the 'Blue Union' N.A.S.D.J on Merseyside are becoming fed up. with maladministration of the scheme which these cases revealed and the treatment they are receiving both from the Dock Labour Board and the supposedly impartial Appeals Tribunal, We claim that our members are entitled to be represented by their own union officials." The sectional committee had decided to call a full meeting in Liverpool on Sunday to discuss the tribunal and lack of representation.

In the evening, he would address dockers in Manchester to tell them of the position in Liverpool. MORE SPENT BY COUNTY COUNCIL Over Half on Education Lancashire County Council spent £32 millions in the last financial year, which is £3 millions more than in. the previous year. An of the accounts the year. prepared by the county.

treasurer, Mr Doodson, shows that £20 millions came from Government grants, and £9.5 millions from the ratepayers. More than half the money spent, £18 millions, went to the education service, and each of the other three major services, health, highways, -and police. spent about £3 millions. The capital 'expenditure amounted to a further £3 millions, of which two-thirds was spent on the education service.

The main evening programme, however, will consist of film interviews with film actors and actresses, Gossip about the Film World." a fair proportion of light entertainment, but also concerts of classical music.

Religion I On the subject of religion," said Sir Philip, we shall be guided by the overall policy af the Indeperident Television Authority, and in consultation with them we shall organise whatever is found to be most suitable." In order that its programmes can be intensely regional in. character," the company plans to open offices studios in Birmingham, Manchester, and Yorkshire. The first broadcasts will be made when the Lichfield television transmitter is, opened in January, but at the beginning the company will have to lean rather heavily for its programme material on the other programme contractors. By the time that the Lancashire transmitter opened in May, however, the company will be providing most of its own programmes. It will begin broadcasting to Yorkshire towards the end of 1956, probably in September.

Sir Philip said he hoped to persuade other leading regional newspapers to join the company. Mr Howard Thomas, the company's managing director, was in advertising and journalism in Manchester before the war. Later he joined the B.B.C. as a writer and producer he was the originator of The Brains Trust 77 and Vera Lynn's programme Sincerely Yours -and for some time has been producer in chief of Associated British making newsreel and documentary films.

CRITICISES ARMY CAMP Social Facilities Lacking After a second visit to Catterick Camp, Mr Victor Yates, M.P., said last night that what he saw there led him to think that it was "not a good recommendation for the Army." With Mr G. Craddock. M.P., he visited Catterick on Tuesday and then again yesterday. He said What I. saw.

Tuesday, and this morning confirmed on, belief that this great camp lacks the essential social facilities--which ought to be there for men suddenly removed from their homes at the age of 18." He emphasised that he did not wish to criticise the officers. He was, he said, shown every courtesy, and he believed that the officers he met understood the conditions under which the men were living. He saw, huts, "built in the First War, which were very unsatisfactory, with floors of stone." They were very cold. and needed more fuel than was supplied to heat them. The lavatories and washhouses were away from the huts.

which made conditions worse. In the dining-rooms and cookhouses old stoves with coal fires were used, which were not very clean and were unsatisfactory. He was also surprised to find two-tier bunks in use. I thought those were finished with." he said.

France to day announced new motorracing regulations to prevent any repetition of the Le Mans disaster last June when 82 people were killed when a car ran into the crowd.

Since then all car-racing been banned throughout France. The new regulations, announced by the Ministry of the Interior, apply not only to motor-racing, but also to motorcycle events, and even walking contests. The regulations have still to be signed by M. Faure, the Premier. Under them, all events will have to be authorised beforehand by the Government.

Their organisers will have to belong to recognised national associations, conform to standard and special rules, and carry insurance. All competitions will. be divided into categories: 1-Rally events; in which endurance replaces speed; 2- speed events. In rally events cars will, not be allowed to exceed the stipulated average time between checking points by more than 30 Motor-racing events will be authorised only after committee fourrepresenting Ministries of Works and Interior examined and approved the course. The new regulations also make provision for the cancellation of an- event even after it has started.

The track must be not less than seven metres (about 24ft.) wide, and the pits must be set at five metres (about 16ft.) back from the track. Certain places on the course dangerous bends for instance -will be forbidden to the crowd. Protection will have to be made by walls 110 centimetres (about 3ft. 7in.) thick, with an additional earth backing. Ground up to two metres (about 6ft.) back from the course will be banned to the public, and straw bales will be added in specially dangerous places.British United Press.

The organisers of the annual Le Mans Grand Prix d'Endurance, in which 82, persons were killed in an accident in June announced to-day they intended to continue the event and had French Automobile Club to reserve June 23 it next year. Mr Gabriel Pecquereaux, president of the Sarthe Chamber of Commerce, said The Le Mans Grand Prix is the greatest of its kind in the world and despite the catastrophe earlier, this year, we cannot lose our prestige. Besides, this race has an enormous technical value to the trade in general." -Reuter.

He was also ordered to pay £10 Ts costs and 10gn; advocate's fee. Mr B. M. Stephenson, prosecuting, said that Whyham's licence -expired in April and it was not until July that his log book reached the licensing authority. He had made 37 flights during the time he held no licence, Whyham said that.

he had held a pilot's licence since 1946 and the offences were technicalities. Squires Gate Airport was very busy in the summer and he was probably the busiest man there. It was easy to overlook sending the log book to the Ministry. THE WEATHER Showery, Rather Cold A NE. airstream covers the British Isles.

SIR ANTHONY GOES DOWN PIT Sees "Fine Machine" helmet before being taken down the Sir Anthony Eden yesterday watched a continuous miner machine, with its crew of three, rip four or five tons of coal from a seam five hundred feet below the sea shore at Lynemouth, Northumberland. He said to the workers, who are each extracting 34 tons a shift (about ten times the national average) What a wonderful machine. We could do with a few more of them." The Prime Minister, who was on one of his fact-finding visits, had put on blue overalls and a white safety shaft in the cage. He then walked 1,300 yards to the coal-face.

Earlier, he had spent three-quarters of an hour looking round the surface installations. which include Britain's largest coal washery, bandling eight hundred tons an hour. At the end of his visit he said he had seen a remarkable new in progress while output was going up. machinery installed, and reconstruction That was an achievement by any standard. a hundred million tons of coal are to be won at Lynemouth, an allelectric pit, and over £3 millions has already been spent on a major reconstruction scheme, which will be completed at a total cost of £5.5 millions by 1960, when the colliery will be one of the largest in the country.

Sir Anthony will preside over a Cabinet meeting at 10 Downing Street this afternoon, and will leave for Scotland to-morrow morning.

The plane took off on a five-day state visit to Lisbon. The air liner had turned back. after half an' hour's flying, when trouble developed in one engine.

It circled Portsmouth for an hour before going back to London, and then again over London Airport for another ten minutes using up fuel in preparation for a light landing while emergency services stood by.

Wilby, of Leeds, president of the National Association of Master Monumental said yesterday that instead of recognising that a cemetery was a public service, far too many councils were using their powers to censor public taste in the selection of memorials. He told the association's autumnal conference at Harrogate that some.

councils had limited headstones to a size smaller than those permitted on pauper Others only miniature marker plaques set level with and even below have the surrounding turf. One or two rationed inscriptions on their utility memorials to no more than 40 letters. And one council insists that its ratepayers choose from six council-inspired designs. What is this if it is pot dictatorship How can these councils claim that such monstrous restrictions are 'in the- public interest' when they violate the people's right to select their own individual designs 'Mr Wilby said that the obsession for miniature tombstones might be only a bureaucratic fad that would fade away.

This was announced in a statement issued last night after a meeting of officials of the Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Workers and the 24 shop stewards comprising the strike committee at the Blackpool factory. The strike, which started Monday, arose out of a' decision by workers last week not to report for night shifts, after they had.

been told that a claim for a 5d-an-hour compensation bonus for night workers had been rejected. Last night's' statement said about two thousand five hundred workers were now affected, and went on We have received an assurance from the joint shop stewards committee covering the other Hawker factories that we have their full support and that they are taking steps with a view to the other factories taking an active part in the dispute. The local full-time officials of the unions concerned are fully supporting the workers on A meeting of the strikers will be held at the factory gates at 10 a.m. to-morrow. A spokesman for the company said yesterday that informal negotiations were continuing with a view to a settlement.

Thorne Colliery, near Doncaster, which employs 2,700 men and has an output of 17,000 tons a week, was idle yesterday because of a lightning strike over the wage rates of pan turners engaged on the coal face conveyors. The men said new wage schedules had affected them adversely. Talks between the management and union officials last night broke down. SEAMEN'S DEMANDS Revision of Hours and Rates Agreements Proposals for the revision of the seamen's hours agreements were among those put forward by the National Union of Seamen at a private meeting of ratings panels of the National Maritime Board in London yesterday The shipowners' side promised a considered reply in a month. After the meeting the board issued the following statement: At the request of the National of Seamen, a meeling of the ratings panels of the National Maritime Board was held in London to-dav.

The main proposals put forward by the union were for the revision of the hours' agreements of catering department ratings on board all classes of ships, and in the deck department on two-watch foreign-going vessels, and the deck and engine-room departments on home trade vessels, and also the question subsistence rates on leave."

Cemetery plots memorial stones cost' three and four times as much as they did twenty years ago, and the great majority" of the tombstones erected in the last five years were between two and four feet high, even in the plots where there were no severe restrictions on height. A brief scrutiny of the dates in various parts of the cemetery suggested, however, that the changing taste and custom are also involved. The descendants of those devoted and wealthy Edwardians who guarded their father's graves with sorrowing six-foot angels and soaring columns of granite may still buy the more prominent plots, but their memorials are contained in a discreet four-foot slab of Sicilian marble whose greatest elaboration might be a rose embossed on a recessed column projecting a few inches above the top to one side of the stone. (Like most of our modern tombstones this is a local variant of one of the popular Italian designs). Before the war, since Italian labour was cheap, many of the smaller British monumental masons found it more economic to import finished tombstones than to bring over slabs of Garrara marble to be carved by British workmen.

One Manchester mason with more than 30 years' experience thought that his was definitely a dying trade," and for him there was no humour in the statement. The greatly increased popularity of cremation, he believed. was at least as much responsible as restrictive regulations. NEW YORK DOCKERS END STRIKE Senator's Plan Accepted NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 14. New York dockers to-day called off their protest strike and agreed to.

a plan designed to let them air their grievances before a citizens' committee. The plan was proposed by Senator Murray of New Jersey and supported by Captain William Bradley, President of the International Longshoremen's Association. It was not immediately clear when the men would go back to work. The eight-day strike tied up some two hundred cargo ships in New York, and at, least fifty others were affected in Atlantic ports from Maine to Florida. The strike began in New York on September 7 in protest against the Waterfront Commission, which was accused of denying work permits to dockers with long criminal records, abusing subpoena powers of plotting to wreck the union and interfere with collective bargaining.
