THE GUARDIAN Thursday February 17 1972 3 Doctors working Courts face problem over separation 'Wicked little boy' detained for 10 years By our Correspondent An immigrant schoolboy, Shaukat Ali, said to be either 12 or 14, was ordered by a judge yesterday to be detained for 10 years. Mr Justice Willis told Ali at Leeds Crown Court You seem to be an appallingly dangerous and wicked little boy."

The Court ordered a retrial Junior hospital doctors claimed yesterday that some of them were working more bleep hours than there were hours in the week. They did this by carrying a colleague's bleep during their 100 hours on duty, the Junior Hospital Doctors' Association said.

A survey showed that this applied to about 20 per cent of the doctors. The association said that a comprehensive questionnaire had been completed by more than a third of all preregistra-tion house officers. The survey indicated that about 20 per cent of doctors work 150 "bleep" hours a week.

Mrs Maniban Parma, aged 36, her daughters, Nayna, aged 15, Bharti, 11, and her son, Paresh, all died when fire swept their home at Cottam Avenue, Bradford, last October. Another son, Amarat, aged 17. survived the fire, which happened while their father was working on nightshift. All three youths were also found guilty of arson of the house and possessing paraffin with intent to damage another house in Naples Street, Bradford.

A Health Department working party, which examined nine hospitals, had reported that although the average junior hospital doctor was on call for 88 hours a week, he worked for only 44 per cent of the time. The association claimed its survey did not support that. It showed that the average house officer was officially on call for 105 hours a week, and could expect to be working for 80 per cent of that time.

By RICHARD BOURNE, Education Correspondent The National TAssociation of Schoolmasters which has criticised others in education for being complacent about violence in school, has now launched an inquiry among its own members to discover how big a problem this is. At a press conference in London yesterday the association gave further details from its dossier on cases of violence and announced several measures it is taking to try and help the teachers and children concerned. In cooperation with Dr Louis Lowenstein.

senior educational psychologist for Hampshire, it is running a survey to find out the number of cases, the kind of incidents and children involved, and measures which teacheds have found effective. The NAS and Dr Lowenstein will produce a manual of guidance for teachers in time for next autumn term. The association is convinced that part of the answer may lie in a development of Outward Bound type courses for difficult teenagers from urban areas. It is, therefore, sending six young members on Outward Bound courses which will then run courses for other members. The association is giving full legal support to members who wish to take out private nu-arrlc cabea wnere me ran have gone some way towards the decision repreSented no into more than one county, meeting the demands for real of heart at all.

Since overtime pavments were introduced 18 months ago. some duty rotas had been reorganised, but even if the hours were reduced, it seemed likely that there was a proportional increase in the workload. Nearly half the doctors covered for colleagues' patients as well as their own for more than 30 night hours a week.

Mr John Mathew, prosecuting, had told the jury that in 1969. following widespread breakings into shops by a gang with duplicate keys a special squad was set up at Scotland Yard under Detective Inspector Robson. Perry, who was suspected of being connected with the gang, was interviewed and was looked upon as a potential informer.

Between October and November. 1969, it was alleged he gave them a total of 200 to show him favour or not to accuse him of offences. Perry contacted the Times newspaper, and tape recordings were made of conversations between Perrv and the two accused which were then handed to the police. Replying to his counsel, Mr Roger Frisby, QC, Sergeant Harris said he did not tell Detective Chief Superintendent Moody, who was inquiring into the allegations, that he knew Inspector Robson had placed a substance pretended to be gelignite into Perry's hand to get his fingerprints on it and then ive him the impression he could be charged with possessing gelignite.
