14 THE GUARDIAN Monday February 20 1967 John Grigg Not our way of life Economist sees threat of crisis in 1969 1 By BERNARD INGHAM A new sterling crisis in 1969 or 1970 can be expected If the Government allows itself to be pressed next year into over-expansion of consumption. This" warning is given today by Professor F. W. Paish, Emeritus Professor of Economics, London University, in a 2 to 2 per cent unemployment could be supplemented but not replaced by a wages policy to withstand inflation. In his new postscript he says that nothing that has occurred since then and this period Building high a heresy By JOHN O'CALLAGHAN Mr E.

Brooks, Labour MP for Bebington. yesterday attacked the policy of building high. He said it was a fashionable heresy to build high to avoid a national catastrophe. "If we do much more of it we are heading for a social catastrophe," he added. He said at a Labour Party housing symposium in Birkenhead that high flats combined maximum isolation with minimum privacy.

His experience of living in a flat in London was that he had got to know nobody the only 'place to meet fellow residents wai in the lift. He urged a more flexible method of building and poiicy on housing so that changing family needs could be met by suitable housing provision. A national clearing house for tenants of council houses would bring mobility a vital need in an expanding economy to working-class families. Values of green belts? Mr Brooks criticised boundaries made in the last century which were inadequate to meet the needs of housing a growing population in older boroughs, and also questioned the values of reenbelts an area of dustv fields almost all in private hands as they now existed. He suggested that a better answer for recreational purposes were large parks where people could enjoy themselves.

Shortage 'of land on Mersey-side might best be alleviated in future if the talked-of barrage across the Dee were built so that Merseysiders could settle in comfort in Flintshire and vet be closer to Liverpool than commuters from Brighton to London.

But I am frightened of being sent to work In Russia.

When I left Hungary a month ago, the police warned me that my passport would never be renewed. They said tf I did not come back, they ivould fetch me." His brother, Mr Stephen Szollosi, now a naturalised British subject has a Welsh-born wife, Barbara, who said: "We visited Jozsef last July and smuggled out of the country photographic copies of his diploma and some of his notebooks.

The Minister, who was in the tn nrffrDCe nn rmitstnf and redevelopment and to hold talks with me corporation, sam that in general local authorities should not sell council houses if it meant they were depleting the pool of accommodation available for letting at reasonable rents. Mr Greenwood said that about two thousand council houses a year were sold for owner-occupation.

Recently there had been growing pressure for an increase in these sales. In his view the housing position nationally did not warrant any relaxation of the general principle that councils should retain the houses they had built. Mortgage help The Minister rejected the argu ment that if a sitting council tenant was not allowed to buy his house he would continue to live in it, and the local council would be no better off. If the tenant was unable to buy, he might as many had done move out and buy in the private sector. The local authority could help him with a mortgage, and the vacated council house would then be avaalable for reletting.

Mr Greenwood said that his reaffirmation was not a "warning" to local authorities. They must decide for themselves whether to sell their council houses (it can be done only with the Minister's permission) but as far as possible they should act only within the general principle that the current housing position did not justify large-scale selling. During his visit, the Minister also saw the 600-yean-oid Bauley Hali at Wythenshawe, which the corporation wants to demolish. He declined to comment, saying he might eventually be involved in the argument about Bnguley Hall's preservation, and did not want to prejudice the issue. He also declined to comment on the recent decision of Bolton Council to refuse to accept up to 20,000 overspill people from Manchester.

At a civic luncheon, Mr Greenwood praised Manchester's efforts, while acknowledging its problems- Among its great achievements was the clearing of 25.000 slums since 1955 the best record of all authorities outside London. Tory case for sale of council houses, page 8 Inquiry into furniture group's affairs Efforts will be made this week to find buyers for Harrison Gibson, one of the biggest private furniture store groups in the country, following the appointment 'of a receiver to examine its affairs. The company, which is based at Ilford with stores in Bromley, Bedford, Doncaster, and Halifax, will continue trading until a solution to its problems has been worked out. Its debts are estimated at 3 millions. The group's difficulties came to a head after the July squeeze, which has seriously affected furniture sales throughout the country and would have hit particularly the luxury lines in which Harrison Gibson specialises.

When it meets on Wednesday the TUC general council will be thoroughly aware of the hostility of the Transport and General Workers, the country's largest union, to the Government's plans for Teserve powers to hold down prjees and wages for another 12 montUS from JUIV 1.

The TUC would become an instrument of the State if it accepted such a situation, and that would be bad for both trade unionists and democracy. Meanwhile the idea of a 2 per cent norm for pay increases to replace the existing zero norm after June is being considered as a sweetener, although the Government has been it is not economically justified. A rise in output of only I to 2 per cent is expected over the 12 months from July. This, it Is claimed, will be more than spoken for by existing commitments to increase wages after July 1 and increases which will be allowed under "expanded" criteria for the post-severe restraint period.

On Iikla Moor baht heather and bracken By Michael Parkin Iikla Moor, of the Vorkshlre anthem, once feared by Hkley Urban Council to be losing its heather before an invasion of bracken, has now virtually lost It all to crowberry. And the once-threatening bracken is now itself under heavy attack from some unidentified degenerative process. The information on Iikla Moor baht heather has been gathered by the Wharfedale Naturalists' Society. The process seems to have been rather like that of the song, in which thee dies and is buried, worms eat thy body, ducks eat worms, we eat ducks, and. therefore, we eat thee.

What happens on the moor, apparently, is that sheep eat young heather. Crowberry eats up space left by heather. Sheep will not eat crowberry. We eat sheep. Therefore, we eat Iikla Moor.

Dr J. H. Fidler, a member of the naturalists' society, has found that about one third of a 300-acre belt of bracken has been -affected by degeneration. Sheep, which normally eschew bracken, have been chewing happily at the fronds of degenerate bracken on Iikla 1i.fr.nw Anrl cltlf. Pftt KllPeTl.

we also eat bracken off Iikla Moor. Four prisoners still refuse to take food Four prisoners in Belfast gaol who began a hunger strike oh Monday were still refusing food yesterday but are taking liquids.

Moore, Deputy Governor of the prison, said no concern is being felt about the condition of the men, who are all "looking well." The men claim they are not allowed to have radios in their cells and have been forbidden a tobacco allowance.

They are reported to have said that they wul starve to death to uphold their Protestant heritage.

'J'Hv RC priest rejects The celibacy rule of tiie Roman Catholic Church has caused a second priest in the West Midlands to give up his priesthood.

At Wolverhampton yesterday it was confirmed that the assistant priest at St Michael's Church, has been given permission by the archbishop of Birmingham to give uo his nriesthood because of ms strong views about celibacy, The new dissenting priest is Father Malcolm Tudor, aged 30 Two weeks ago friends received a letter from him sent from the presbytery. In it he explained his reasons for deciding to resign ana expressed ms oeuet 3ooui celibacy and the priesthood. A member of the Auxiliary Bishop of Birmingham's staff said yesterday Father Tudor applied to Archbishop Dwyer in Birmingham for laicization to be returned to the laity. This has been granted. Father Tudor is a very thoughtful man who has considered and discussed the question of celibacy and the priesthood a great deal.

He made the decision to leave the priesthood solely on a matter of principle. He has no plans to marry, nor is he engaged." He remained a member of the Church and could take communion, the spokesman said.
