Coal faces at all pits in the coalfield, are open to anyone who reports for duty according to a statement issued A resolution declaring fundamental opposition to the supply of nuclear weapons Germany under any conditions, was adopted yesterday at the twelfth biannual national conference in London of the British section of the World Jewish Congress. One of the delegates, Mr A. I. Richtiger, said History has proved that the Germans as a nation cannot be trusted with armaments. Every time Germany was in a position to arm they attacked somc-bodv.

1 am afraid that this game of using West Germany to strengthen the NATO forces, and Kast Germany to strengthen the Warsaw Pact countries creates a danger to the peace of the world. Let us see what the next generation of Germans will be like. In this genera-lion we should oppose armaments for Germany, nuclear or otherwise." Dr E. J. Cohn said that compulsory military service had been introduced in East Germany, which maintained an army twice as strong as West Germany.

It was not a one-sided affair. A resolution calling for a ban on nuclear tests, a pledge not to initiate atomic warfare, and for the start of negotiations for the dismantling of all nuclear weapons under an agreed system oi inspection, was also adapted. Dr A. Falk, who suffered under the Hitler regime, opposed a resolution placing on record the conference's strong objections to the training of German troops on British soil. He said it would not impress the Government in any way.

It might be detestable for us to see German troops in this country," but they must stop passing resolutions having no bearing on the problems with which they were faced. Dr J. Miller, moving the resolution, which was adopted, said Nazism was not dead. The troops serving in the German army were mostly too young to have been in the Hitler youth, but for training and officering they were forced to go to people who served in the Nazi army. CHESS Bobby Fischer off to a good start From a Correspondent Stockholm, February 4 The fifth Interzonal Chess Tournament organised by the World Chess Federation has started in the Kungs-hallen here with a field of 23 players, the largest in the history of these events.

The top six players will qualify for places in the Candidates' Tournament later in the year when, with Tal and Keres, they will play a four-round, 28-game tournament to determine the next challenger for the world champion, Botvinnik, The sensation of the early rounds has been the comparative lack of success of the Soviet players, who used to dominate previous interzonals. After the fifth round not one of the four Kussians is anywhere near the ton. the lead being held at this stage by Dr Filip (Czechoslovakia) with 45 points from Bolbochan (Argentina) ana tne 19-year-old United States champion, Bobby Fischer, with four each, and with Gligoric (Yugoslavia) next. In Individual games, the Russians were beaten three times when facing foreigners Geller by Cuellar (Colombia); Korchnoi by the same player and Stein bv Filin. In the corresponding tournament at Stock- noim lu years ago, five participating Russians lost only three games to the other competitors in the whole 21 rounds of the contest.

Bobby Fischer is the hero of the crowds, and his board is always the centre of attention. He held an advantage in all five of his games, but Teschner (West Germany) and Benko (OS) escaped with draws. In his game against Bilek, he used only 10 minutes of his time for his first 20 moves, while his opponent had used up almost his total time allowance for the first playing period of 40 moves. No wonder the Hungarian exceeded the time on move 27. Fischer's style, a strange mixture of sangfroid defence in complicated "ariations, for which he prepares, and utility chess of a high order, by means of which he aims at an advantageous end-game, makes him a hard man to beat.

At this early stage he has an excellent chance of winning the tournament PT BEFORE BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS Effort to aid clotting Three firemen tried to save a bleeding man by physically exhausting themselves in a hospital gymnasium before undergoing blood transfusions, it was disclosed yesterday. They had been told that the blood of a tired man might clot more easily. The transfusions were for Mr David Thorowgood, a victim of haemophilia, a disease that prevents the blood clotting, who broke his leg in an accident on January 6. Mr Thorowgood, whose home was at Angmering-on-Sea, died in Worthing Hospital yesterday.

Even If it was the Conservative Central Office which first thought of this way of projecting the party image through the women's pages of the national and provincial press it would be churlish not to appreciate Dame Barbara's hospitable little tea parties at the House of Commons or to doubt the sincerity of her regard for women as thinking people as well as potential Conserva; live voters.

Her invitation for last Monday held out the bait of meeting all the Treasury Ministers, including the Chancellor of the Exchequer himself, and the Minister of Health. Alas, Mr Selwyn Lloyd was glued to the Front Bench and Mr Enoch Powell was also an absentee. Would we have done any better if they had been there? Questioning Ministers, especially near Budget time, is a frustrating exercise. Mr Anthony Barber, Economic Secretary to the Treasury, was friendly and charming Sir Edward Boyle, Financial Secretary, was impressive in bulk and in fluency; Mr Henry Brooke, Chief Secretary and Paymaster-General, was fatherly and patient. The women journalists asked about the pay pause about teachers' salaries vis-a-vis the surtax payers about Mr Brooke's task of long-term economic planning about reports of a possible cut in family allowances about money for replacement of the poor little out-of-date schools about the chances of removing the earnings rule for widowed mothers.

Just the sort of questions readers of this page might have asked and they got just the rather dusty answers readers would get e.g., on family allowances If you know what is in the Budget you read all the forecasts in all the newspapers and by the time Budget day arrives every possibility open to the Chancellor has been forecast so that someone is bound to be right on some point." Or on widows' pensions: "You have to consider this in relation retirement pensions. No, it is not much use trying to play lobby correspondent for one afternoon. But two pieces of information from Mr Brooke are worth a word. He recommends highly a new leaflet, available from any Inspector of Taxes, explaining to householders how they can make a claim for the maintenance of their property. This is obviously worth having many income tax payers are unaware of the reliefs they can claim in this way.

And Mr Brooke wants young women to realise that the Civil Service is now one of the most attractive open to them. There is no marriage bar and the salary of a Permanent Secretary, of whom two are now women, is 7,000 a year. And no sex prejudice, no suggestion that a woman might not be able to secure the efficiency or command the loyalty of men. "Ask any one at the Ministry of Housing and Local Government if The liabour Party should take a lesson from the Churches in the technique of raising money, states a group of Young Fabians in a pamphlet, "The Mechanics of Victory," published today by the Fabian Society at 2s 6d.

The general secretary' of trie Labour Party, the group argues, should be given much greater scope and authority. There was an overwhelming ease for having a major parliamentary leader" in charge of Transport House, but this solution had been rejected by the National Executive. The best alternative was to appoint an MP, and ask the party conference to make the constitutional amendment necessary to allow an MP to occupy the secretaryship, which is now vacant If either the Executive or the conference was unwilling to do this, co-ordination between the party in Parliament and outside could only be achieved by dividing authority i between the deputy leader of the Parliamentary party, responsible for day-to-day tactics, and the general secretary, responsible for servicing the machine and working out long-term strategy. No overlord Tins syslem, though second best, would be far more satisfactory than building up the deputy leader as effective overlord of Transport House, to control the new general secretary when he is appointed. This plan.

Many other changes shoul be made at Transport House. All aspects publicity should be In charge of a director of information, with the right of attending Shadow Cabinet meet ings.

The authors of the pamphlet foresee thai the Labour Party loses seats in the next election as it has done in I he last four, fissiparous forces could cause the party to disintegrate and be replaced by the Liberals. "The capacity of the Lahout Party to over haul us own machinery will be a test of its prospects for the future.

If it cannot muster sufficient energy. imagination, and common purpose to achieve inese objectives, then its pros pects must be considered bleak indeed. LABOUR PLANS FOR GENERAL ELECTION North-west conference Labour Party delegates from the North-west attended a conference at Lancaster at the weekend to plan the campaign for the next general election. A spokesman said that the conference would be followed by 24 others before thc middle of March. "After that it is intended to start reorganisation in preparation for the great national campaign," he said.

Mr George Brown. MP. who opened the conference, made it clear that the Labour Party intended to base its election appeal on economic planning, whether Britain the Common Market or not. Whether we go in or stay out we are in for a tough time," he said. The Labour Party had a chance to lead the country, and it must carry news of its plans to everv corner of the nation.

Italian order for English Electric An order for power equipment worth 3 millions has been placed with the English Electric Company as part of the Italian Government's long-term development plan for Sardinia. The order is for two converter stations for a direct-current transmission scheme between Sardinia and the Italian mainland. The company says, it is one of the largest orders placed In Britain for power equipment for a Common Market country. MANCHESTER CATHEDRAL Monday- ft Itoly C'jmrriunlon iLidy Ctuprtl THE road safety training taught in the schools obviously works.

Fatal accidents to children from 5 to 9 were 648 in 1933 and .177 in 1959. But for pedestrians under 5 years the figures were 390 in 1933 and 209 in 1959. In this age group in 1960 250 were killed and 2,343 maimed. If kerb drill can produce such a dramatic reduction in t.cci-dents to schoolchildren then it would seem advisable to teach it to 'he under fives and the parents who have them in their care. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents have started the "Tufty Club" to get the cooperation of parents in setting a good example and through them to teach the youngsters.

The children are taught through stories read to them from a book which concerns the adventures of some most delightfully illustrate animals. Truly the squirrel, Willy Weasel, a family of rabbits and moles, and a fierce hare who always to be stopping his car in the nick of time and lecturing the careless child, or its parent, on how to cross the road.

THE British Safety Council has produced an excellent safety code in the form of a friendly and well-produced 64-page booklet It. is far more comprehensive than' one would expect, dealing with childish ailments as carefully as electrical dangers. There is a most, useful section on nappies, and another, on washing machine safety. "Mothers Safety Code" is obtainable from the British Safety Council, Safety House.

IT is something of a kindly joke how parents guard their first baby from possible germs.

The tone of this parti, cular model is quite outstanding, the stereo balance very good indeed.

In fact, you get a lot for 62 guineas, including something which looks well. they ever felt any regret about there being a woman at the top," said Mr Brooke, stoutly, of Dame Evelyn Sharp. Other employers, please note. ISN'T it time that someone said, not vaguely Perhaps it is time the jury system was overhauled," but precisely and emphatically, "The property qualification is outdated and absurd Obviously there must be some rules for drawing up a jury list and the property qualification served well enough for centuries when it was also the basis for the electoral roll. Full adult suffrage undermined its worth as the basic test of responsibility and one would think the payment of income tax would be as good an indication of financial status as the payment of rates.

(But why a financial qualification at all Literacy and normal faculties seem the essentials, and householding is no guarantee of these.) That all non-ratepayers should be debarred from jury service except in Scotland is plainly ridiculous. Could anyone seriously defend it? Some judges, advocates, and policemen may be quite happy to continue a system which debars the majority of married women and so, without fuss, maintains the predominantly male jury, but none of them would assert that a spinster living in a flat was a more suitable juror than her landlord's wife or than any other adult woman in possession of her senses. When the only answers to questions about our institutions are nonsensical it Is high time to change them. In any old democracy the enemy is inertia, and institutions become so covered In the moss of years that the original intention is invisible to the ordinary eye. Does it matter There is still an adequate supply of jurors.

There is no desperate feeling of injustice to be remedied. Who really wants to sit on a jury It matters because any institution which is out of touch with the reality of contemporary life loses respect and value. And it matters because there ought to be more women on juries in some cases, and because if one dare thump the old feminist drum once more it is time that every implication that married women are only second-class citizens should be removed. OUGHT journalists to spend so much time poking fun at or rebuking public relations officers We have our own, even more publicly, obvious motes and beams (some of us, it might be whispered, even use the PKOs' handouts) and perhaps it is when we are most censorious that we are most irritating or boring. But exasperation iwith people who will not take the trofible to spell one's name correctly is common to all.

One recommendation was, that plastics so brittle as to leave a sharp edge when broken should not be used. The British Standards Institution's code refers to British toys and is voluntarily applied by manufacturers. Our sharp-edged pieces came from toys marked Made in Hongkong." At the British Toy Manufacturers' Association's press conference on the new code the question of dangerous imported toys was raised. Mr Goude, the secretary, said that he had approached the Board of Trade on this question but was regarded as biased." Parental care In choosing toys does not cover gifts chosen by others. Relations and friends, seeking to please a child, are obviously attracted by what are generally most ingenious and delightful toys to look at.

British manufacturers have been known to decry imported articles as such but here is a case where their view is justified and the Board of Trade should listen to their opinions and the opinions of parents. Plastic toys that do not break In the hand are also made In Hongkong, It would seem that consideration should be given i extending the safety code requirements to imports and to making it obligatory not voluntary. Otherwise, on present experience, there Is not a great deal of point in having such a code. Betty lerman Sail lofts at Tollesbury Creek DANGEROUS TOYS Test for boat owners rejected By a Correspondent Compulsory efficiency tests for amateur boat owners have been rejected by Mr'Marples, Minister of Transport, because of the large enforcement organisation that would be required. Such tests were suggested by Mr Marcus Lipton, MP, and early last year the Minister said he thought it a most useful suggestion and one on which he proposed to consult sailing and safety organisations.

Mr Marples has now written to Mr Lipton saying it has been decided that compulsory tests would be too difficult to enforce, so he proposes to do something on a voluntary basis He continues "As a result of the discussions we have had with the Royal Yachting Association It is proposed to establish a register of appointed sailing The Idea is that these schools will have to conform to certain standards laid down by the Association and will be able to conduct examinations for ccrl ificates of competence. This, in my view, merits strong support, and my department will help draw up the syllabus for the proposed examination."

When it broke easily in my hand I offered the children the sharp edges to touch.

Then I picked up a small polythene brick, partner to the one the baby was chewing, and pressed it hard to show its resistance to breakage.
