If this is so, then the Labour Party will have unexpectedly snatched most of the political advantage from the Government. At one time it seemed that Mr Wilson would have to choose between disowning the unions involved or suffering the consequences at the polls. But he has been lucky enough to find that his own suggestion for a way out of 'the dispute a court of inquiry, A Russian electronic trawler of the Okein class anchored at Gibraltar, where they watch the activities of the RAF and the Royal Navy.

Idea took root The unions wanted to get round a bargaining table with the Electricity Council again Sir Ronald Edwards, the council's chairman, wanted the differences between the two sides to go through normal arbitration channels. But neither side could agree to the other's proposals. It was then that the idea of a court first introduced into the discussions by Sir Ronald Edwards took root. Thursday's round of talks lasted for 14 hours from 10 a.m., when the unions reported to Mr Woodcock their failure to reach a settlement the previous night, until midnight, when the Minister fixed on a court of inquiry.

During the day, the unions reduced their demands to the Electricity Council, to the point where successive rejections were leading them to talk of calling a complete power blackout on 0n JIr godber and Mr Erroll called briefly on the Prime Minister at Downing Street, The terms of reference and composition of the court of Vu be announced in the middle of next week. Mr Godber mafe plain yesterday that the reference would be a wide one. In a television interview last night, Mr George Brown expressed the hope that the men would resume normal working. 350 walk out in power station dispute More than three hundred and fifty workers at Bold power station, St Helens, walked out yesterday after a dispute over work being carried out by senior officials and engineers durinK an overtime ban. The trouble started when 20 men who operate the station's coal plant refused to work over Easter because of the ban.

The staff and engineers said that the ban would result in no coal being available to feed the plant within a few days and volunteered to do it themselves. Within minutes of the engineers taking over the coal plant the entire labour force walked out of the station. Later, as the station was being kept running at a reduced capacity by the engineers and senior staffs, talks were started to try to end the dispute. Alan McHardy, aged 22, a part-time climbing instructor, of Sumac Street, Clayton, Manchester, was last night critically ill with a fractured skull in Bangor Hospital after falling 50ft during a training climb in Snowdonia. Mountain rescue officials at Plas-y-Brenin, the recreation centre at Capel Curig to which McHardy is attached, later praised the quick reaction of his pupil, John Vincent, aged 18, of Solihull, Birmingham, to whom ne was roped.

Vincent took the strain on the rope so that McHardy landed feet first at the bottom of the crag, only to be hit by a falling boulder. 5 skiers safe after avalanche Innsbruck, March 27. Six unidentified skiers were buried under an avalanche in the Otzal area of the Austrian Tirol this afternoon. Later, police stated that only one was missing. One skier was able to free himself quickly and went to the Karlsruhe ski hut, near Ober-gurgi.

A Tirolean mountain police helicopter tried to reach the scene, but was turned back by snow and fog. Rescue teams are trying to reach the scene on foot. British United Press. Girls rescued from burning speedboat By our Correspondent Hundreds of holidaymakers at Bowness Bay watched a rescue yesterday afternoon, involving a burning speedboat on Windermere. Rosemary Howarth, aged 16, of Waverley.

Rawtenstall, and her twin sister, Victoria, where in their father's speedboat, when the engine caught fire. Many craft which were on the lake at the time went to the scene and the girls were taken off the boat little the worse for their experience. The speedboat was taken in tow to a pier at Bowness Bay where Windermere firemen put out the flames. The boat was seriouslv damaged. An eye witness described the incident as like a blazing torch torch in the middle of the lake." THE boat race.

It is. in fact, exactly 100 years since the race became except during two wars an annual event from Putney to aioniaKe. The race itself goes back farther in history, for it was in 1829 that, after a somewhat stilted correspondence between Charles Wordsworth nephew of the poet then at Christ Church, and vnanes luerjvaie ai vuiiiui a match was arranged at Henley, which Oxford won. No written rules The language in which Legget, currently secretary of the Cambridge University Boat Club, presented the compliments of his president and a challenge to Oxford this year, is not markedly different from that first challenge. This is still a private match without monetary rewards, without written rules, depending for its continuance on an annual challenge which, any time, an absent-minded or over-scholarly secretary may forget to send.

It is over a distance which Is neither a reasonable 4i miles nor a fastidious 33 furlongs, but is exactly 4 miles 374 yards. This is for a reason no one can explain unless that it is a distance over which it is proper for gentlemen to row, neither more nor less. In the three weeks before the race, when the crews have to share the same piece of Tideway for final training, they treat one another with the distant courtesy with which young gentlemen of the nineteenth century were apt to treat those of slightly inferior education. If anything, the formalities are more, not less rigid. At one time the crews dined together after the race.

They do so no longer. They hope, occasionally, to see their rivals in difficulties during practice. They prefer to see as little as possible of one another at any other time, except, of course, during the race itself. Then each hopes fervently to see the rival crew all the time. The presidents must meet, however, on the Putney hard immediately before the race to toss for choice of Surrey or Middlesex station.

No churchmen One must look deeper than the superficialities of etiquette to discover the real differences between young university gentlemen of early Boat Race days, and today. Of those two eights which fought at Henley in 1829, almost every one went into the Church. The crews produced two bishops, three deans, and a prebendary of York. In today's crews are students of mechanical sciences, engineering, and economics. Not a prospective Churchman among them.

Visitors to the Winstcr Valley, south of Windermere. saw By JOHN MADDOX. our Science Correspondent The second British earth satellite was launched from the United States yesterday at 6 25 p.m. BST.

It was carried into its orbit by a Scout rocket which left the ground at Wallops Island, Virginia, one day after the date first set for launching. The first indications were that the operation has been a success. This satellite will require more direct British participation in the tracking and control of the experiments than did the first satellite, Ariel. which was launched just under two years ago. On this occasion, the actual experimental equipment carried in the satellite has been manufactured by British firms.

The rest of the satellite, including the raJi transmitters and the framework, has been made in America. The Radio Research Station at Slough will be used to collect the reels of magnetic tapes recording radio signals from the satellite during the next year or so. Information from Ariel was, by contrast, processed in the United States before being sent to British scientists. A follow-up' The object of the experiments in the latest satellite is to provide information about ozone in the atmosphere, about radio signals from distant parts of the universe, and about the presence of tiny particles of dust from elsewhere in the solar system, which may collide with the satellite the course of its journey. Each experiment in some sense, a natural continuation of work carried out Britain, on the ground, in the last 10 years.

The ozone experiment, for which the Meteorological Office is responsible, is based on an instrument which measures ultraviolet light from the sun during those parts of the orbit when the satellite is moving into the earth's shadow or out of it. At these times, rays of light from the sun must pass through the atmosphere. Ozone absorbs ultra-violet light, so that the sharpness with which ultra-violet light is cut off will yield information about how ozone is distributed at different heights above the earth. It is known that the greatest concentrations are at 30 miles or so above the ground.

Earlier, an Australian Government observatory said wreckage from Cosmos 23 c.uld fall on Sydney tomorrow evening. Cosmos 23 was sent into orbit on December 13. 1963. It weighed at least several tons. The Soviet Union today successfully launched the twenty-seventh in the Cosmos series of artificial unmanned satellites, according to Tass.

Gen. Gyani surprises Greeks From PETER PRESTON Nicosia, March 27 The United Nations peacekeeping force in Cyprus went into operation this morning working on an unreleased brief which in the words of General P. S. Gyani, its commander, does not differ very much from that of the British force it replaced. General Gyani has as yet received no terms of reference from Thant.

The troops are acting on a detailed directive from the commander, which may be amended when the terms of reference are completed. I understand, however, that the directives go significantly farther than the British in one or two respects. Though General Gyani at a press conference this afternoon repeatedly stressed that this is a peace operation," his directive gives commanders the right to open fire if anyone is preventing them from carrying out orders. This is a last resort, but may have to be used to preserve the British green lines which the UN is taking over. Further powers General a i directive studiously avoids referring to either Greek Cypriots or Turkish Cypriots as legal or illegal.

Impartiality was another of the commander's watchwords today. The force will not have the right to search, or impose curfews, or disarm, but I understand that the terms of reference are now held up by Thant's considering a request for further powers, possibly on these lines. The directive cannily assumes as common ground that neither Greeks Cypriots nor Turkish Cypriots have the power to search and that both want free communications. A great deal of discretion is left in General Gyani's hands. This has come as a to the Cypriot Government, which has been blandly assuming that the UN would work in harmonv with the Ministry of the Interior to settle the situation the Government way.

It is being disillusioned, and the UN may swiftly have to test President Makarios's goodwill over the case of Dr Rauf Denktash. president of the Turkish Communal Chamber, whom the Government has threatened to arrest on criminal charges if he returns to Cyprus. British praised General Gyani increased the Greek Cypriot discomfiture today by reiterating his admiration for the British troops here in the warmest terms in his order of the day. At his press conference the general plodded doggedly on with all the abandon of an opening bat on the first day of a Test at Hyderabad. He announced that Finnish and Swedish advance parties would arrive today and an Irish one tomorrow.
