Shffffr I Of Government will allow clause to stand Soldier trapped in pothole By our own Reporters A Manchester lecturer dived four times into a Derbyshire pothole last night in an attempt to find a junior soldier who failed to surface after an adventure training course. The soldier was Junior Private John Kenneth Paul Stevens, aged 1G, of the Infantry Junior Leaders' Battalion stationed at Oswestry. His home is in Edmonton, London.

Dr Ken Pearce, lecturer in metallurgy at the John Dalton College, Manchester, and one of the world's most experienced polholers, made three earlier dives of five minutes each.

I had lo come out as I was getting Revenue loss not worth further argument By FRANCIS BOYD, OUR POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT Mr Harold Wilson, who is said to have learnt only at breakfast yesterday of his Government's defeat on the Finance Bill a few hours earlier, Tiad decided by 10 30 a.m. that it would not try to remove the new clause which Conservatives and Liberals had carried against it.

Mr Wilson reached this decision after half an hour's talk with the Leader of the House, Mr Herbert Bowden the Chief Whip, Mr Edward Short and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr Callaghan. They agreed to accept the clause on two grounds that rejection would take too much time, one day for a By Jove, he's still here Aircraft not to be grounded Economic plan likely by mid-September First two years the hardest BY OUR OWN REPORTER The Government's five-year economic plan is expected to be published about the middle of September. The sentimental target date is Mr George Brown's birthday, September 2, but this, may well prove a movable feast. The National Economic Development Council spent most of a 2: -hour meeting yesterday studying aspects of will be given an inci eased priority. Retrammu facilities will be debate on a motion toi recommit the Bill after report stage, and another to debate the motion for rejection and that the loss of revenue involved was not worth more argument.

The clause Is intended to secure for investors in investment trusts or in unit trusts the same position under the Finance Bui that investors enterprises would have. No advantage During the report stage on Tuesday night and yesterday morning the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Mr John Diamond, while resisting the clause stated that there was no marked advantage to the revenue whether it was added or not. It is now said by the Government that if a serious loss to the revenue would result from keep ing the clause, Ministers would certainly have provided time to secure its rejection. The Inland Revenue was unable yesterday to estimate the loss to it from the clause. The Conservatives, in a statement.

claimed their victory as a valu able new protection for the small investor. The Tories say the Bill, as first published, would have penalised investors in unit and investment trusts through the operation of the capital gains ta. Trusts would have had to pay corporation tax at a rate of 35 or 40 per cent on their capital gains, whereas if their members had invested directly themselves, thev would have had to pay an absolute maximum of 30 per cent and most would have paid much less. Sir Alec Douglas-Home issued a statement about the effect of the Opposition's success which suggests he is taking the affair rather humourlessly. "Tonight," he' said, "Mr Wilson's boast that the Labour Government can force any measure through Parliament, however damaging to the economy, has been exposed as an empty boast." (Sir Alec's prose attributes Conservative judgments to Mr Wilson's tongue In fact yesterday's defeat had nothing whatever to do with the merits of the argument over the taxation of unit tiusts The Opposition's victory was tactical.

The fact that the Government was defeated three times in succession means no more than that the Opposition had a majority at that time in the morning. And they had a majority because they had bamboozled a tired enemy. But, for the Conservatives, there was special import in the occasion. Mr Edward Heath, shadow Chancellor, leading the campaign against the Government in the House, chose for his final putsch a clause dealing with the dearest subject in the heart of the chairman of the Conservative Party, Mr Edward du Cann unit and investment trusts. Mr du Cann, it to be hoped, will not forget, when the time comes, who it was that led the Tones to victory Censure motion deliberately delayed By our Political Staff There was some surprise among Conservative MPs last night that the Opposition Front Bench had not tabled a formal censure motion following on the Government's defeats.

It appeared, however, that this was a deliberate decision by the Opposition leaders. After a discussion of the tactics arising from the defeats the Shadow Cabinet decide to reserve a fullscale censure motion until later. When it is tabled it will deal not only with the Government's failure to maintain its majority in the Commons but also with a catalogue of other alleged failures It will mark the end of the kid glove" period of opposition and the beginning of a much harder line. dizzy through the extreme cold of the water." He added that after 90 feet the passage narrowed and he could not get any farther because of his air bottles. He thought it was just possible for a desperate swimmer, searching for air, to have got through the narrow gap.

As Dr Pearce left, rescuers moved in to assemble two' large pumps and an electric generator to try to reduce the water level. Police said they feared that Stevens had taken a wrong turning in Carlswark Cavern, near Stoney Middleton, and was trapped in a long sump about 200-ft. from the entrance. Skin-divers had searched but could find no trace of him. Mr David Allsop, of Buxton, who was directing the rescue, said water would be almost up lo the sump roof.

He said the youth was known to have had a candle and on his first trip in he (Allsop) found a candle in the sump. Dr Pearce had been climbing with a friend at Standish when police called for him over a loud hailer. He had his diving equipment with him. Dr Pearce was a member of the British team which penetrated 3,681 feet of the Grenoble caverns. Rescuers were early this morning trying to contact other cave divers to stand by.

Art tangles with French Justice From our Correspondent Paris, July 7 A distinguished trio from the world of art and literature Picasso, Bernard Buffet, and the novelist Roger Peyrefitte have tangled this week with French justice. Today the score stands at one Buffet's success after six and a half years' gallant effort being offset by Picasso's second failure to obtain the seizure of Frangoise Gilot's Life with Picasso." Whether art or justice carries off the final honours depends on the verdict tomorrow in the attempt by three members of the Rothschild family to obtain the seizure of Roger Peyrefitte's popular book "The Jews," in which naturally they figure, but not in a way to their liking. 'Mutilation' ROUND OWE; Bernard Buffet's refrigerator In 1958 to help a children's charity the artist painted the door and sides of a refrigerator with appropriate still-hfe subjects-apples, fish, vegetables, and so At the auction Buffet's refrigerator was bought by a Swedish "philanthropist" who then detached the painted panels and sold them as "metallic paintings by Buffet." The indignant artist appealed to the courts to prevent the 'mutilation" of his work, and for the symbolic franc's damages. In four different courts he has won his case. The Court de Cassation (Supreme Court) ruled today that the earlier judgments were correct, inasmuch as the painted refrigerator constituted a unity in the subject chosen and in the manner in which they were treated, and that the removal of the panels by the buyer was a mutilation." Memoirs HOUND TWO: The intimate life Picasso The 84-year-old artist has failed for the second time to get a Paris court to seize the French edition of his ex-mistress's memoirs, in which he claims he is represented as "superstitious, sadistic cruel, proud, and double-dealing." With a Solomon-like wisdom, the has ruled that "the secrets of Francoise Gilot her intimate life with Picasso are half belouging to this young woman.

In publishing her 'memoirs, it would be difficult for her, not to say impossible, to utilise these secrets without involving her Lest Picasso find this decision too painful the Court kindly, added: "This work far from defaming the great painter reveals him as a man of astonishing interior richness and an extremely attractive figures. It contributes therefore to a certain extent to his glory better even than an official portrait would have done." Anecdotes ROUND THREE: The anqer of the Rothschilds. Roger Peyrefitte's witty, but at times savage, book on the Chosen Race, has aroused the ire of the Rothschilds, to be precise lime Bethsabe and JIM. Guy arid Edmond, who find themselves unwelcome targets in several passages. For the defence, M.

Peyrefitte (a cousin of the Minister of Information) and his publisher, Flammanon, plead that it is merely a question of wellwom anecdotes about the famous family which have lona been doing the rounds of Paris society. One of them is the hoary joke that stands not for Republique Francaise but Rothschild Freres. The judgment will be given tomorrow, but M. Pevrefitte looks like being confronted bv a series of libel actions by other irate characters in his book. However, on the commercial side.

he has certainly won, because since the book came out last week it has sold at least 60.000 copies.

It lasted for four hours and at one stage police were called by the Lord Mayor, Alderman Bernard Langlon, to escort Conservative Councillor Arnold Burlin from the council chamber. Councillor Burlin had refused to sit down during a noisy interlude when a number of councillors were on their feet. When order was lestored he persisted in arguing with the Lord Mayor, and eventually left the chamber with a sergeant and constable. He was still shouting "1 won't be gagged. God help the poor ratepayers." It was the second tune since he joined the council two years ago that he has been escorted out by the police.

Demonstrators Before the council meeting began about 250 pupils from some of the local grammar schools demonstrated outside the town hall against the comprehensive school plans.

The council has not previously met in August, and had intended to take a holiday next month Officials are satisfied that enough information has now been gathered for a first shot at the plan.

Mr Brown's view is believed to be that the plan should be rolled forward a year at a time, with an interval for reassessment and revision as it goes along. The Secietary for Economic Affairs is apparently insisting on aiming for a 25 per cent growth in the economy by 1970, and accepts that the first years will be the hardest. One of his mosl serious problems is that unless labour is used more efficiently industry would need something between 350,000 and 500.000 more workers to achieve this rate of growth The NEDC discussed this yesterday, but refused to take too pessimistic a view. The plan will attack ue labour problem from several sides at the same time. Inevitablv there will be pressure for labour mtensie industries to become more capital inlcnsne.
