The union says in a letter It is the duty of the committee to preserve Murrayfield as an enclosure for the prime purpose of Rugby football, and the use to which the corporation would like to put the ground in the opinion of the S.R.U. committee conflicts with that and accordingly with that duty."

Mr Tomlinson said they had been reprieved, but they had to guard against the administrative restrictions encounterea in so many iorms thrntivrhout the countrv Their mis- SSX.tStU divisional executives had been left to the option of county councils without guidance about the form and extent of the powers to oe aeiegateo. q. nnA mnnfira home gOOtt COUntieS In Derbyshire and in other counties, especially the larger ones, there had ueen iTom iae utritinj2jg a ayix vjl goodwill on both sides, said Mr Tom linson. Recently Lancashire and York shire had reorganised tne areas oi their executives, and some counties, notably Surrey, had strengthened and extended tneir scnemes oi delegation. He said In those counties where delegation is full and generous and there is opportunity at reasonable intervals for discussion of administrative difficulties, with agreed adjustment of procedure where, in short good personal relations thrive divisional administration is a success, Surely what is possible in one countv should be possible in all, and the achievement of that goal must be our objective.

He said that while he would not describe the welcome given to the association by the County Councils' Association as unfriendly, opportuni- ties for friendly contact over the years had been rare. Indeed, when one of its members vbicing a welcome to our conference so far forgot his lines as to read us a lecture on our deficiencies and uselessness, many of us felt our TOO FEW WEAR HELMETS Oxford motor-cyclists Three out of every five of the 7,648 motor-cyclists and pillion passengers questioned during a survey last week by Oxford City police were not wearing crash helmets. Commenting on these results made public yesterday Inspector R. Bellamy, head of the Oxford City Police Traffic Department, said that it had been disappointing to find so many riders of motor-cycles, scooters, and motor-assisted bicycles without the protection of 'a crash helmet. Of those questioned 2,888 (37.7 per cent) were wearing helmets of an efficient type 91 (1.2 per cent) were wearing defective helmets, and 4,669 (61.1 per cent) were not wearing helmets at all.

Inspector Bellamy said the object of the survey was to meet riders and passengers and point out that the wearing of a crash helmet of an efficient type reduced the risk of injury in an accident at small additional cost. The majority of those checked, he said, were very co-operative and accepted the advice given. Let GRTT the wav FOR QUALITY PATHS. DRIVES. YARDS, ROADS.

BUILDING DELAYS Contractors warned about dispute Heating contractors at Hull were told by the local Building Trades Employers' Association yesterday that they may have to pay costs to contractors if work is held up by the demarcation dispute between heating engineers and plumbers.

Work on the ivoycu innnnaiy, a new amDUiancc station, two schools, and new Customs offices has been delayed because the heating engineers and the plumbers cannot agree on who should connect the water supplies. The association's president, Mr E. S. Barrett, said that the committee ot the association had decided that the long and unwarranted dispute must be brought to an end." The contractors for heating installation would be held responsible for anv costs incurred by the builder because of delay or failure to carry out the decision awarding this section of the work to plumbers. Claims would be made if the disputes continued.

itZ ZZXitiT The members of the cominitttee state In our view the first dutv of th tini- versity to the student is to tweh him how to think. For this purpose he must be given not only competence in one field 01 Knowledge, out access to related fields ana a general appreciation 01 tne art 01 learning.

Increased pressure of numbers which ySilf CCfatett Whe.D th bulge reaches the universities rules out such a solution. Whatever might oe aaia rar sucn puuey in a country ncner tnan ours, ana with a stable demand for. university education, it is just not practicable in Britain To lengthen by one year all the courses in England and Wales (outside the medical field) would increase the num- ber of full-time students by about twenty thousand without any gain in tnrougn-put." Canada chooses the American Bomarc missile By our Defence Correspondent Those who believe that the manned aircraft will remain the best way of intercepting attacking bombers lost an important advocate yesterday, when the Canadian Government swune with Mr Sandys towards missiles. The Prime Minister.

Mr Diefenbaker, said that their expert opinion now believed that manned aircraft would be less effective in meeting the threat by 1960 than had been thought. Mr Diefenbaker announced that it had been decided- to adopt the American Bomarc long-range interceptor missile for the Royal Canadian Air Force. This is a major decision in Canadian policy, and it means that Canada and the United States will be able to combine on their radar and equipment as well as command in the defence of North America. The Bomarc has a far longer range than any other known surface-to-air missile and for this reason it is usually described as an "area defence" missile rather than a point defence missile. Those which are at Dresent going into service in the United States nave arrange 01 about two hundred miles, and this is being more than doubled in development.

No decision has been taken about the programme for the Avro Arrow, a most ambitious fighter, which has been entirely developed in Canada. A final decision was promised by Mr Diefenbaker for next March. The country has made a big investment in the aircraft which has been the subject of a constant debate between the advocates 01 missiles and manned vehicles. Six prototypes will be in the air by next spring. The adoption of the Bomarc and its ground control system brings Canada for the nrst time to a decision about nuclear weapons.

The missile can be used with either high explosive or nuclear warheads, and no doubt the Americans would be prepared to pro vide either. 11 nuclear explosives are desired, the close co-operation in air defence Between tne two countries should make joint teams for their handling (on the precedent of the Anglo-American Thor teams) simple to arrange. NO FLIGHTS STOPPED BY OVERTIME BAN B.O.A.C. engineers' claim The ban on overtime by 4.000 B.O.A.C. maintenance engineers continued yesterday, but it is not yet affecting any of the airline's services.

Two B.O.A.C. flights due from London to Nairobi and Tokio were cancelled yesterday, but a spokesman said that this was not due to the overtime ban. One of the maintenance engineers concerned was asked yesterday if the Comet 4s would be affected. He replied It would be difficult not to include the Comet shops In the ban. but we don't want to hold up the aircraft" The dispute arose over a wage claim the men demanded an increase of 7s 6d and turned down an offer of 6s.
