RHODESIA THALIDOMIDE CHALLENGE ACCEPTED Doctors show optimism By DR ALFRED BYRNE, our Medical Correspondent The British Pediatric Association does not share the view of those passionate parliamentarians who want to kill off other people's babies because they were deformed after the maternal use of thalidomide. Instead of crying Off with their heads," a memorandum bv the specialists in today's British Medical Journal says there is no "place Boost to economy By our own Reporter i London and Salisbury last night announced that Britain" had agreed to a loan of 3.5 millions to the Government of Southern Rhodesia. The Central African Office in London said thai the loan was an indication of the importance which the United Kingdom Government attach to the maintenance by the Southern Rhodesia of its far-siehted pro To work on more eggs AND LESS FISH, FEWER NUTS By our Financial Staff People in Britain ate more meat, eggs, and fats on average last year than ever before.

According to figures published yesterday by the Board of Trade, the average consumption of meat in 1961 rose to just over 1251b. per head over lib. more than the previous year, and nearly 91b. more than before the war. Consumption of eggs and egg products at 341b.

But the babies' interests demand early assessment of the needs of the case. So the doctors urge parents to face up squarely to their problems The memorandum says that to take the baby out of the house in a panic or to hide it away in the attic in despair prevents the parents from acceDtance of the tragedy and avoids the proper grief that leads to recovery, It adds that doctors can help by reporting eases to the local medical officer of health, and by referring them to the local paediatrician, orthopaedic surgeon or limb-fitting centre. I inquiries So far the number of babies damaged bv thalidomide or sufferini? from the collection of deformities now known as the thalidomide syndrome is not known although the group is expected to be small.

Inquiries being conducted will reveal the size of the affected population by mid-September, after which there should be no more thalidomide- Children at Cromford, Derbyshire, demonstrating successfully against a threat to their village fair because of an increase in the rent for the site.

Sir Edgar Whitehead said in Salts-burv vesterday that the loan had been offered towards the solution of our transitional problems over the current year." He added While the amount "is not all that we had hoped for, it is, I am happy to say. sufficient to enable us to meet the most pressing of our problems." Only conditions Sir Edgar said the only conditions attached to the loan were that it carried no implication that the British Government would continue to provide financial assistance to Southern Rhodesia in the future and that any proposals for the use of the money which were not included in current estimates would be submitted to the Legislative Assembly for approval. The assistance had come in time to prevent considerable retrenchment of Government employees, which would otherwise have been unavoidable.

The money would be applied to projects likelv to give the most relief to the current unemployment 2 millions of the loan would be applied to building, most of it to provide some four thousand additional houses for married Africans. Municipal and other local authorities would be invited to take part in the housing schemes. It was also planned to spend about 750,000 on roads and a similar amount on rural development. Sir Edgar added The whole efTect will be allied to the utilisation of Rhodesian products and this will, in it-self, give a boost to the general economy of the country." ELECTION POSTER PLEA Walter Hesketh (33), of Cotsworth Street, Moss Side, Manchester, was fined 1 at Stockport yesterday for parking in a no-waiting area of High Street, Stockport. Hesketh, who said he was collecting election posters from a printer, changed his plea to not guilty after being told that the no-waiting order did not forbid loading and unloading.

He was also fined 2 on each of three summonses for failing to produce his driving licence and insurance certificate, and for keeping an unlicensed car on the road.

A bank guard set off the alarm with his foot, but the men escaped in a car, reported stolen from Stafford on Sunday. The car was later found abandoned near by.

Though no direct request for money has been made except in the original announcement, an average of 100 a day is received from parents of healthy children. One donation from parents of a two-year-old son is accompanied by the message This small gift might help thalidomide babies and also go towards research into preventing similar tragedies." The letter bears a London SW postmark.

COLONIAL HEADS TO ATTEND Concern over EEC By PATRICK KEATLEY, our Commonwealth Correspondent Political leaders from five Colonial territories are being invited to sit in on the Common Market discussions at the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' conference, opening in London in the second week of September. It will be the first time in the history of these conferences that any Colony has been represented at political level, and represents a triumph of quiet diplomacy for the five politicians concerned. Four of them are Prime Ministers: Dr Cheddi Jagan (British Guiana); Dr Borg Olivier (Malta); Mr Lee Kwan Yew (Singapore), and Mr Milton Obote (Uganda). The fifth is the Finance Minister of Kenya, Mr James Gichuru, who belongs to the KANU Party headed by Mr Jomo Kenyatta. All five had put forward a strong case for attendance during recent trips to London and it is believed that Mr Maudling, before he left the Colonial Office, had accepted their argument that theirs was a special case in view of the vital nature of the Common Market discussions at this year's gathering of the Commonwealth I'rime Ministers.

Whether they will be given seats at the table itself, or whether they must sit dutifully behind Mr Sandys like a kind of colonial comet's tail, is a delicate point that will have to be resolved when the sovereien dele gates actually arrive in London. mere are compelling reasons for bending the rules. It would be a source of possible future embarrassment if these five territories could claim later on that they did not have a full opportunity to state their case in 1962. FOUR FOR TRIAL: BAIL ALLOWED JPs see film Behind closed doors in a mom nt Buxton police station last night two magistrates saw one of the films confiscated when police raided Buxton Studio Club. They were then driven back to the court room and committed four club officials tor trial.

After a two-day hearing. George Eyre, 48, property manager, of College Road, Buxton his wife, Joan, 45 Anthony Michael Fcnwick, 38, lorry driver, of College Road, and Edith Mildred Beiesford, 40, housewife, of Hartington Road, Buxton, were committed on bail to Derbyshire Quarter Sessions charged with keeping a disorderly house. Charges against all four of publishing and exhibiting obscene films were dismissed. The magistrates, Mr A. Price and Mr H.

Jackson, had said at the end of the prosecution case yesterday that they considered they should see one of the films. Chief Inspector Simon Fraser. who organised the observation at the club, said that when arrested Eyre said to him I have gone into this with my solicitor and I have been most careful not to offend against the law." Eyre, he added, quoted police law books and the Obscene Publications Act and said It is a shock. I have tried to keep within the law and I thought I was doing no wrong." COUNCIL ASKS FOR ASSURANCES Training centre proposal Lancashire County Council, which proposes to establish an adult training centre for mentally disordered persons at Farnworth, near. Bolton, is to be asked by the Farnworth council to give satisfactory assurances on points raised in a petition signed by more than two hundred people.

Points raised by the petitioners included fear of assaults on young children, especially girls, and the entry of homes while the occupants are at work. The centre, they have been told, will accommodate about sixty persons and will be open for about eight hours on each week day. Second attack with broken bottle James Waite (27), of Burnley Road, Accrington, was admitted to Bolton Royal Infirmary with lacerations to the head last night after being attacked and struck with a broken bottle at Bolton. He was said to be fairly comfortable. Kevin Lomax (17), of Greenroyd Avenue, Bolton, who received a stomach wound in a broken-bottle attack near his home 24 hours earlier is still detained in hospital.

Police are investigating both incidents.

Forty arc supermarkets or self-service operated under the name of Carlines." GUS, known to millions either through mail order catalogues or such familiar High Street names as Jays, Weaver-to-Wearer, Tac and Hope intends to develop supermarkets vigorously and has already acquired several sites in London and the Midlands. The company, headed by Sir Isaac Wolfson, has one of the most dynamic trading records in the stores business, but it has not hitherto gone in for supermarkets or extensive selling of food.

The recasting ot the retail trade structure in the American image is gathering momentum. In recent weeks Allied Suppliers Home and Colonial," Maypole has announced its formal conversion to self-service techniques. More significant still, one of the biggest supermarket operators in the United States, Safeway Stores, has begun negotiating an association with John Gardner (London). The race is on to acquire the best sites for supermarkets before they are all snapped up. Comment in our City columns RECORD IN SPITE OF RAIN Flower show receipts In spite of yesterday's heavy rain, two new records were set up at Southport Flower Show.

Total receipts for the first two days were 44,340 175 more than the previous record for the first two days, established last year. The total parking of 2,688 vehicles was also a record for the second day. The downpour badly affected attendances, however. Yesterdav 36,272 people passsd through the turnstiles 20.880 fewer than last year's record for the second day of 57.152. The total for the two days is 81,913, compared with 100,209 for the first two days of the 1901 show.

The rain caused the cancellation of the sheepdog demonstration a-l last night's show jumping events due to be held under floodlights. A showring official said conditions had become dangerous for horses and riders. We are hoping, if the rain lets up during the night, to be able to get the show-ring in a fit state to resume jumping."
