16 THE GUARDIAN Thursday July 20 1967 John Grigg NIBMAR or NATWAP Beauty for industrial parkway Co-owner homes for new town Lords give Abortion Bill a mauling Lord Robens hits at Government's 'great mistake' BY OUR OWN REPORTERS Lord Robens, chairman of the National Coal Board, accused the Government yesterday of making a great mistake in relying so heavily on oil, and of failing to do the total sum for its energy. He said the decision to cut coal production to 155 million tons a year by 1970 would mean a loss of jobs who had done his best to see the total problem of the energy industry but the mistake stemmed from the White Paper which had put nationalised Industries into compartments, whose concern was only with their own balance sheet. He was pleased the Government had not tried to make predictions for 1971 to 1981. This gave a breathing space, but did not solve the problem The ball was now in the court of management and men in the industry. Nobody outside it realised the full potential of the coal industry.

If it could reduce production costs by 15s a ton (present cost is about 92s 6d) it could be quite competitive. Coal could be substantially cheaper in the 1970s. But, said Lord Robens What bothers me, if I am right, is that if our biggest customer, the Central Electricity Generating Board, has nuclear power stations it will be no use they won't be able to use it." Mr Leo Crossley, North-western president of the NUM said Lancashire has had its fair share of closure. Yorkshire and the Midlands have never been seriously hit compared with Lancashire and Durham. Pits scheduled as having short lives and some others must now have a question mark hanging over their future." Sain stopped play at Old Trafford yesterday.

THE WEATHER Heavy showers at times for lSo.uuu miners tne closure of a pit a week, all in development areas. It had been a great mistake for the Government to rely so heavily on imported oil for generating electricity. He could not guess what the extra costs to the Central Electricity Generating Board were since the closure of the Suez Canal. It would have been better to have relied on other energy sources coal, gas, and nuclear power and he was prepared to bet that the canal would not be open for 12 months. The Government would have to take account of the fact that oil supplies had been disrupted twice in 10 years and that slightly more expensive coal might be better than cheap ml that became damned expensive" every 10 years.

Lord Robens who was visiting Maltby Main Colliery, Yorks, said concentration of the industry was a tremendous personal problem. If a pit employing a thousand men closed, this would mean the loss of a thousand jobs in the area. It was a tough proposition to find a factory to come in to employ that number of men. Light engineering firms might take 100 men and three or four hundred women, but, he said We have not a mixed society, they are all men." The Minister, Mr Richard Marsh, was one of the few men NEWS IN BRIEF Council plan MERIONETH County Council finance committee decided at Dolgellau yesterday to recommend to the council that a woodland area in the Snowdonia National Park at Llanbedr, between Harlech and Barmouth, be acquired. The decision was taken after the meeting had been told that Merioneth park planning committee had considered an application for permission to fell the trees.

The committee, it was stated, had decided to inform the Forestry Commission that they objected to a licence to fell trees and that they favoured asking the county council to acquire the land.

By our Correspondent An experimental co-ownership scheme is planned by Skelmersdale Development Corporation to meet criticism that too few houses are being built for private occupation. The corporation is to seek the help of housing societies to help to finance the scheme for about fifty houses at Tawd Road, near the new town's proposed main shopping centre. The development corporation general manager, Mr Richard Phelps, said yesterday "This kind of idea is popular on the Continent.

It helps people who are keen to become owner-occupiers to buy houses while guaranteeing the resale value of properties and the measure of capital depreciation. "It is a universal experience of new towns that the number of houses" for sale in the early years is very low and builds up later. The basic plan at Skelmersdale suggests 20 per cent but the development corporation's policy on the matter is under djscussion." The corporation has also been having discussions with autnon-ties concerned over the general pattern of medical, house, and welfare services in the new town. Traditional doctors' surgeries will be incorporated within six school clinic and child welfare centres to be built. Liverpool Regional Hospital Board is to build a district general hospital at Skelmersdale Two Scouts die overcome by fumes Two Boy Scouts who were overcome by fumes in a 40 feet sewer inspection shaft at South Gosforth, near Newcastle upon Tyne, on Tuesday night, died in hospital yesterday.

Robert Dodds, aged 11, of Benton Park Road, Newcastle, died yesterday morning and Ian Gradwell, aged 12, of Audley Road, Gosforth, died last night They were brought out of the shaft on Tuesday by firemen wearing breathing apparatus. An inquest will be opened on Friday. Hours cut for police to be considered The Police Council yesterday agreed to set up a working party to look into the possibility of a shorter working week for policemen. They work a 42-hour week at present and want a reduction to 40 hours Continued from page 1 everybody signed it, after which the superintendent asked me my name. Clearly there was neither a warrant nor a detention order.

The detectives departed, my belongings were catalogued down to the last British postage stamp, and within minutes I was in my cell. No sign, then or later, of any British High Commissioner. That night a warder smelling of beer snarled, through the bars of my cell: "You are Gowon's men. The Hausas killed us before and they are coming to kill us The first steps were taken at Bolton last night to transform a neglected stretch of industrial South Lancashire into an area of scenic beauty. A working party of representatives of Bolton and Salford and Lancashire County Council recommended action on a four-point plan for a nine-mile industrial parkway from Bolton to Salford.

The working party's report suggests, a development control policy; help to existing industries to improve the appearance of land the improvement of unsightly and prominent land by local authorities; and facilities for public access to valleys, particularly by opening up river banks and making new footpaths. The valleys would be opened up for recreational use, and tree planting and landscaping would create new parks. Tipping was a major problem, and the woik-ing party recommended an amalgamation of tipping programmes with the pooling of equipment by local authorities The report says, "The communities around the valleys suffer some of the poorest standards of urban living. However any programme for improvement will depend on a joint approach by the local authorities concerned. Competition The working party found that the problems ot the area were largely the result of acute competition for land oetween active and heavy industry and the requirements ot residential areas.

The maintenance of the valleys as an open space lung lying between built up areas was seen as of considerable value, and the report states that industry and open space need not be incompatible. But it adds that there would have to be a vigorous and expensive publicity campaign to overcome "the enervating acceptance of ugliness." The working party will meet again in November to consider detailed proposals for various sections of the valleys and the views of the three authorities concerned. Flyovers will relieve tunnel congestion By our own Reporter A grant of 1,587,000 has been made by the Ministry of Transport to Liverpool Corporation toward the construction of two flyovers near the Kingsway entrance to the Mersey Tunnel. The scheme, work on which will begin shortly, will relieve congestion caused by vehicles queueing at the tunnel entrance, and will take about two years to complete at an estimated cost of 2,115,000. The flyovers will carry cross-city traffic over the top of tunnel traffic in Byrom Street.

The southerly flyover, 460 yards long (310 yards elevated) will run from Christian Street to Tale Street near Hatton Garden and the northerly flyover 480 yards long (260 yards elevated) will run from Great Crossbill Street near Johnson Street to Christian Street. Byrom Street is to be widened to 180ft. to provide a marshalling area where traffic can enter the tunnel. A pedestrian subway will be provided where the flyovers meet the one-way system at Christian Street and two footbridges are to be provided. Discharge for attempted mercy killing Mr Justice Hinchcliffe told a man accused of attempted murder at Sussex Assizes at Lewes yesterday that it was obviously a case where mercy should be shown, and granted him an absolute discharge.

The man, Harold Walter Munday (51), of Linden Road, Bognor Regis, had pleaded guilty to administering or causing to be administered a poison eight sleeping tablets to his 84-year-old mother, with intent to murder her on June 3. The judge said that it was an attempted mercy killing act on Munday's part. He was a man of exemplary character. Mr John Maomanus, prosecuting, said Munday had immediately regretted giving the tablets to his mother. She was taken to hospital, where she was likely to remain for the rest of her life.

Tln No: 33696 PATRICK KEATLEY'S Rhodesian report in the Guardian yesterday brought into clear focus the choice which the British Government now has to make. It must either decide to threaten force and, if necessary, use force against the Smith regime, or it must reconcile itself to the ignominious failure of its Khodesian policy. Mr Wilsan's handling of this admittedly very difficult affair will long be studied as an object lesson in political ineptitude. The crucial error was his statement in Salisbury ruling out the use of force.

Everything that has happened since was implicit in that statement. The immediate result was UDI, and the longer-term result has been the failure of economic sanctions because economic sanctions without the ultimate threat of force were bound to fail, and have manifestly failed. Resign EVEN NOW, the proper course for Mr Wilson is to revoke his undertaking on force and explain his reasons for doing so to the nation. If he were unable to carry his colleagues, or public opinion, with him, he should resign and make way for another Labour Prime Minister less personally committed to crushing the Smith rebellion. (Cabinet responsibility in such matters is a thing of the past) On form, it is not to be expected that he will do anything of the kind.

Heroics, with him, are confined to the television screen. The principle most likely to determine his conduct is not NIBMAR (no independence before majority rule, to which he reluctantly pledged himself after the "Tiger" fiasco), but NATWAP (no action threatening Wilson as Premier). It is a fair surmise that the right policy will never even be attempted, and in that case the best we can hope for is that the Government will have the courage of its cowardice lifting the sanctions without delay and coming swiftly to terms with the Smith regime. Nothing is to be gained by prolonging an economic war in conditions which ensure that we can never win it Britain cannot emerge from the situation, with credit unless her authority is reasserted in Rhodesia, But a prompt decision to call it a day would be preferable to further playacting, which is materially costly without saving British face or doing any, good to the Rhodesian Africans Language problem MR! INDIRA GANDHI is under strong pressure to deprive English of its status as an associate official language of the Indian Union. All her considerable resources of courage and political skill may be needed to resist the pressure.

It is far too readily assumed that a nation cannot be united without a common language. Where such a language naturally exists (as ft does in most countries) it reinforces national unity and is altogether a convenience. But at least one country where it does not exist Switzerland could hardly be described as a weak or disunited country. And the same is true of India. In every major emergency since independence the basic solidarity-of Indians has been clearly demonstrated.

If any language is to be imposej upon India, the. only possible candidate is Hindi, already spoken by a third of the people. There can be no question of imposing any other language, least of all English, which is spoken by 1 or 2 per cent of the people, and for which the teachers are not available in anything like sufficient numbers. But when the absolute and immediate necessity for a common language-is contested, the case for imposing even Hindi loses its force. Moreover, the attempt to impose Hindi would itself be a serious threat to national unity.

Surely it would be wise to allow a common language to evolve naturally, over generations. Cultural fanatics WHAT THAT LANGUAGE might be is anyone's guess, but English would undoubtedly be in the running. Like Hindi, Us root is Sanskrit a fact which might afford some comfort to chauvinists. But anyway the glory of India's national revolution has been its relative freedom from chauvinism, and it would be tragic if India's progress were now bedevilled by cultural fanatics. It is right that the great regional languages of India should be up-graded especially in higher education, where English has been a shibboleth and there is much to be said for recognising them all, equally, at the level of national politics (so that the Indian Parliament for instance, would be equipped for simultaneous translation in all of them).

But in schools the aim should be to teach children, first, their own' native language i.e. their regional language and after that the languages most likely to be of service to them in a shrinking world. To teach them a language, for purely ideological reasons, which they would not otherwise wish to learn, is neither fair to them nor helpful to India. My plea is simply this: that English should continue to be recognised as one of India's national languages, and that its claim for a high place in school curricula should be considered on merit. Either to push it or to it by reference to national prestige is.

It had been thrown to the Lords, and they were prowling round it with more growls than purrs. Clearly the infant measure this horrid infant," one peer called it has quite a struggle before it yet, and Mr Steel must have been wondering what sort of shape it is going to be in by the tune their lordships had finished with it in committee. This was merely the second reading, and already you could hear the grim grinding sound of claws and teeth being sharpened. There was plenty for Mr Steel to be anxioub about, and almost the least of his worries must have been the meandering attack en the Bill by Lord Barrington, a fellow Liberal who wanted it destroyed out of hand. Fierce friends A speech like that would hardly kill a fly and Lord Barrington's amendment to abort the Bill which was eventually given an unopposed reading was lost by 127 votes to 21.

Nor, at the other extreme, were shocked words like horrifying, abominable, terrifying the things to fear. Much more dangerous were the fierce friends those who wanted reform, but not like this. The little Bill had to skip hard to evade them. Lions like Lord Dilhorne and leading Christians like the Archbishop of Canterbury joined lorces in the chase. Both were against what was left of the highly contentious social clause," even though Lord Silkin pointed out that the Bill had already been seriously emasculated to meet reasonable and even unreasonable objections.

Lord Soper was for it, but Lord Longford leaving his place on the front bench and seating himself behind the bishops for the occasion was fervently against it. Ill-digested, Lord Perth called it Predigested was Lord Segal's word, giving the Bill what he called a very tepid doctor's welcome. Even Lady Summer-skill had her grumbles, blaming the Government for not having been bold enough to father the Bill itself. Damaging But probably the most damaging criticism came from Lord Brock, president of the Royal College of Surgeons, who said that most surgeons would regard it as unethical to perioral abortions for nonmedical reasons. Most would refuse, and according to Lord Brock their resistance has only hardened under pressure.

He failed to find the conscience laws satisfactory, and he also attacked the somewhat nervous title of the Bill for its ambiguity. Call an abortion an abortion, not a medical termination of pregnancy" that was this distinguished surgeon's advice. All in all, the prospects for those parts of tne Bin dealing with environment and with substantial risk to the child looked dim At least the risk for the mother herself is accepted by most of the peers as a valid reason for abortion. No doubt some were converted by Lord Dundee's reminder of what King Charles I said when the pregnant Queen's life was in danger Save the casket 1 Report page 2 Pleasure trip skipper was 'drunk in charge' A pleasure boat skipper, Herbert James Tom Pridmore (70), took 65 passengers on a two-hour trip on the Thames while intoxicated, it was said at Bow Street yesterday. Pridmore, master of the passenger vessel Crifton Castle, of Cross Street, Hampton Hill, Middlesex, pleaded guilty to being a person engaged in navigation on the river while intoxicated.

He was fined 10 with 4 costs. Inspector G. Wright said that from 7 35 p.m on Tuesday, Pridmore was engaged on a two-hour trip upnver with 65 passengers on board He was seen drinking before and during the trip. "The steering during the trip was described as erratic," said the inspector PrftLmo-re told the magistrate that he tal felt tired on Tuesday night He Jiad been on the river for just over 50 years.

Throughout the night warders came to look at me through the bars, muttering what sounded like sinister Ibo remarks, accompanied- by hollow sounding laughter. It sounds silly now, but that night I coldly calculated that if the trigger-happy soldiery of one side didn't shoot me, those of the other certainly would. General Gowon's printed code of conduct to his troops urging restraint in victory had specifically excluded foreign mercenaries. Things looked much brighter In the morning.

The-day warders seemed prepared to suspend judgment in me personally, if not my Government. And in daylight it seemed quite a happy prison.

I quickly learned that no one was impressed when I whined that I had not even been accused of anything let alone tried and wanted only to be back at home with- my wife and children. There were 98 people in the prison in precisely the same predicament when I went in, and perhaps twice that number by the time I came out. Unlike me they are still there. New batches came in almost every day. One day it was border villagers suspected of harbouring enemy soldiers.

Another day it was university students suspected of dissidence. Next dubious returnees, minority groups, and suspected profiteers. New arrivals were soundly beaten. I at least was not beaten. I had the unique luxury of a cell to myselffour paces by five and even a bed.

I came to appreciate this one afternoon when the prison burst at the' seams and they put a couple of highway robbers in with me for a time. Prison diet After starting on African prison diet cassava meal and watery, peppery soup, eaten by paddling the fingers in It I graduated to a Eurafrlcan mixture more to my taste than its British prison equivalent would have been. It was on my cell floor served in dainty flowered china plates. The biggest luxury, shared only with condemned murderers, was weak tea with every meal. I rejected the matching floral teacup in favour of the much bigger prison mug.

I was allowed neither books to read nor exercise. Even washing water was brought to my cell (except the day when the warder on duty said I will ask Gowon to fetch your washing water the mild, kindly superintendent explained that prisons are run on a snakes and ladders system one had to earn one's privileges. I earned mine assiduously and after five days he said I could have books from the prison library. But his superior, the deputy director of prisons, heard of it and vetoed the books. He was no doubt turned away from lodgings at some early stage by colour-conscious London landladies.

What got me out I still do not know. No doubt the humbled bulldog managed a snarl, or at least a whine. I fancy, also, that my wife might have given visiting Biafrans in London quite a rough time. Perhaps one of my friends finally turned up. Other people's weather Lunch-time reports Temps.
