The breakdown came at 2 18 this morning when the British Foreign Secretary, Mr Callaghan, in his role as chairman, bowed to the inevitable. The main British anxiety now is that Turkey, feeling that there is no obstacle to getting 34 per cent of the island under her control, will turn to military measures. Earlier the Greek Government called on the live permanent members of the United Nations Security Council to take all necessary steps to safeguard peace in the Eastern Mediterranean.

news max mere was a urees Cypriot initiative coming from Mr Clendes. But this again turned out to be based on timing and agenda rather than on the substance of the matter as the Turks see it, the basic question whether the Greeks of the mainland and the Greek-speaking Cypriote will accept in tWff provinces under a federal system. Mr Clendes's idea was an idea halfway between adjourn- merit and continuation.

It was this atmosphere that word arrived at the offices of the delegations about the preparations at home to put things on a war footing. mood of pessimism here In the conference rooms there was a feeling of potential tra- getly if the conference should collapse.

MPs attack spending By JOHN PALMER, Business Editor bases From GARETH PARRY Nicosia, August 13 HUNDREDS of civilians were fleeing Nicosia tonight for the sanctuary of the British sovcregn bases at Dhekelia and Episkopi-Akrotiri. Cars loaded with luggage were seen leaving the capital intent on reaching the bases before the 7 pm curfew.

Dependants of British servicemen living in and around the bases were told to pack one suitcase each and be prepared to leave their homes at a moment's notice. About 17,000 dependants are involved. United Nations troops on the island were placed in a state of readiness second only to a war alert. A UN spokesman said "Whatever the outcome of the Geneva negotiations, there be a direct and immediate reaction in Cyprus." Twelve RAF Phantom jets at the Akrotiri base were last night armed and capable of firing rockets if called into use. Service commanders refused, however, to comment on their intended role.

Plans for the emergency evacuation and the new military alert are the result of the continuing build-up of Turkish troops. It is estimated there are now more than 40,000 of them in the strategic corridor between their invasion point of Kyrenia and the capital, Nicosia. Partition The Turks are now believed to be in a position to carry out their threat of an "Attila Line" the military partition of the island running from Morphou in the west, across the central plain to Famagusta, and taking in the northern sector of Nicosia. This corresponds with roughlv one-quarter of the island. Turkish Cypriots would be concentrated in the north Greek Cypriots confined to the south.

Mr Stephen the British High Commissioner, today recorded three messages to be broadcast by the British Forces broadcasting service should the situation deteriorate. They range from a message to civilians to stay indoors to instructions on how to join UN convoy evacuations of danger zones. Coaches carrying 450 commandos have left Plymouth for RAF Brize Norton on their way to Cyprus. The men, from 40 Royal Marine Commando, returned from the island at the end of last week and were recalled from leave at the weekend. Now many basic systems are there? Which is best for you?

On both a monthly and a quarterly basis the annual current deficit is now running at an annual rate of some 4,400 millions. The background of balance of payments and general economic crisis lends particular point to the Select Committee report.

By VICTOR KEEGAN, Industrial Editor The Government's long awaited White Paper on industrial policy, which is to be published will contain plans for a very substantial expansion of public ownership in spite of recent hints that the policies were being toned down significantly. Labour is sticking to its pro- posed planning agreements wira major companies and the National Enterprise Board will have more powers to take big stakes in companies than any other body ever set up in this country, addition the White Paper reaffirms Labour's commitment to nationalise the shipbuilding, ports, aircraft industries, and sectors of the marine engineering industry.

Although the phraseology used to describe the powers of the National Enterprise Board will not be quite as radical as that used in Labour's manifesto (with its implied committment to take a controlling stake in 25 top manufacturing companies) the theoretical scope for action will still be considerable and in some cases open-ended. The success of the draughtsmen who created the White Paper can be measured by the fact that" it has already been welcomed by of Labour's right and' left wings, each of which see in it something different from the other. Satisfied Mr Benn, Secretary for Industry, has expressed himself pleased with the Cabinet debate 10 days ago and believes that the White Paper will be welcomed in the party as fulfilling the election manifesto.

wing Minister of State, who has openly criticised Labour- for supplying frigates to Chile, has expressed satisfaction with the result. On the other hand, Mrs Shirley Williams, Secretary for" Prices and Consumer Affairs (and. along with the Chancellor, Mr Healey, one of the moderates on the ministerial committee which finalised the document), has welcomed it as evidence that there is not to be a major extension of unrestricted State power. However, Mr Benn's department will operate the policy if Labour is re-elected. The White Paper is bound to be attacked strongly by the Confederation of British Industry, which has set itself against any further degree of expansion of nationalisation.

A more relevant question is whether the duties of the national Enterprise Board will have, been sufficiently toned down (even if its underlying powers are unimpaired) to attract interventionist minded businessmen onto its management board. Given the apparent ambiguities of the drafting of parts of the White Paper, considerable attention will be paid to how Mr Benn interprets his new brief. Although many Ministers believe that it would be electorally disastrous to go to the polls, with a massive nationalisation package, there are others, like Mr Benn, who believe that such policies would command considerable support, giventhe parlous financial circumstances of some of our companies and the low rate of the country's growth.

The department set up the inquiry, last' year after pressure from, the parents of a six-year-old mentally handicapped girl who died at a private residential home where 40 other children have died in the past 18 years. An inquiry into the running of the home, the at Ixworth, was. refused by the department after an inquest that the girl, Tara Naiker, died of natural causes, bronchial pneumonia and, hypothermia. Report Treasury's short-term management of the economy comes, in for sweeping criticism in what is- certain to prove a controversial report of the House of Commons' Select Committee on public expenditure, inflation, and the balance of payments, published yesterday.

It came at the same time as further evidence of the United Kingdom's mounting balance of payments deficit. Figures published yesterday show that both the United Kingdom's foreign trade balance and current account' of the balance of payments was just 1 million worse in July than in June and the second worst on record.

When the conference resumed earlier after a meal break, Mr Gunes, the Turkish Foreign Minister, began explaining the first full presentation of the Turkish plan, amplifying the material in his two-page memo- randum already circulated to the delegations.

Two more short breaks in the talks followed, during which Mr Gunes telephoned Ankara, where he was appar- ently told that he must stand firm and insist on a straight "yes" or "no" to the Turkish proposals This, the sixth day of the Geneva conference on Cyprus was the dav of intervention by Dr Henry Kissinger in a des- perate bid to prevent the col- lapse of the talks and the con- sequent policy former deputy director of the economics section of the Treasury, that there is a direct link between the size of the public sector financial deficit and the national balance of payments deficit. The committee comes out strongly against vigorous changes in the level of public spending by Governments' to influence the In 'the past, the committee argues, these have been partially ineffective and so far as they are effective damaging." At the same time the committee rejected the view of those who argued that inflation should be tackled by a permanent statutory incomes policy describing this as both impracticable and objectionable." Although the key members of the expenditure committee deny that their finding represents any drift towards monetarism the economic views most closely associated with Mr Enoch -Powell many of their conclusions are certainly shared by monetarists. While there are few practical proposals for future economic policy, the general emphasis is on longer term economic management. The use of public spending is not encouraged and the committee also sees dangers in short-term changes in tax rates while' so little is known about their long-term effects. The report hints that "greater use of monetary policy" is desirable but does not make any recommendation about the immediate situation.

It seems probable that regular visits to children, on a monthly basis, will be suggested. There is a strong case because, although a child's family doctor may know its medical history, a practitioner who visits a residential home only in an emergency, may not be aware of the need for regular health checks. The dangers of lack of liaison by local authorities is another area where will be put forward.

would appear that Mr Cal- laghan. who, in his role as con- venor of the conference, was desperately trying to save it and to preserve his reputation at home, had hit yet another timetable. He had persuaded the Turks that, although they were reject- ing any of the Greek alterna- fives which fall short of a federal system, it was still only right that there should be at least a formal plenary session when all these matters could be put officially, if only to wind up the conference in a tidy manner rather than a state of confusion. Thus the 10 am meeting became the 5 pm plenary, and there was little sumrise when thirs timins, too. suffered from slippage.

First it was said that it would be 6 o'clock and finally all five Ministers arrived at the conference table at 6 40 pm. Within the hour came the Coalfield threat to fast line By MICHAEL PARKIN British Rail and the National Coal Board are trying to solve the problem of running trains at 125mph over new Selby coalfield without effects from mining subsidence. The main London to Edinburgh line runs over the heart of the coal reserves north of Selby. II all goes well, British Rail will have its high speed trains in service between Selby and York -by about 1978, roughly the time at which the board expects to begin cutting coal some miles to the west. But, from 197S, the workings underground will move steadily eastwards towards the main railway line.

The NCB was confident yesterday that there would be no danger from subsidence to high speed trains using the line. British Rail said that it did not expect any adverse effect on the line and thought the answers to the problem would be found in its talks with the board. Neither side would say how the board expected to pass under the main line to get at the one-third of the reserves that lie on the far side of it without causing subsidence on the surface and so 'affecting the track. The usual procedure if the board wishes to mine under a main line is for it to give notice of its intention to British Bail. British Rail then issues a counter-notice, and the two sides begin talks.

If it is anxious about subsidence, it pays an agreed sum to the board to leave coal imtact under the line. That is called buying support." One method for leaving coal intact under a main railway line is for the miners to drive an underground roadway under it to reach coal reserves on the far side.

Senator Willessee said that trade union and foreign exports rose by 2 millions to another record of 1,327 millions but imports rose by 3 millions to 1,305 millions also a record.

This left the visible trade gap at 478 millions, only 1 million better than the worst figure recorded in May. The only aspect of those statistics which will comfort Whitehall is the slight improvement in the trade deficit after excluding oil imports, which narrowed by 22 millions to 133 millions.
