THE GUA1E1PIAM Wednesday October 20 1976 24 Blow frieiid or foe? Cfaafor is Liberal De spite the generous way he has come to the aid of the party, whether Mr de Chabris's talent for attracting colourful publicity may not make him an electoral albatross. The enigmatic Mr de Chabris does not help. "Requests for comments about his business history this week led to a discussion of the titles he uses, or has used. These include the Duke de Vatan, Baron de Mornay, Prince de Chabris and His Serene Highness. Mr de Chabris stopped using the Prince title in 1969, but is still a Serene Highness, a Catholic-title bestowed on him by the Vatican.

At a meeting of the Liberal Party national exelutive last Saturday it was, however, pointed out that Mr de Chabris is a Methodist. Mr de Chabris has also been associated with business deal- THE CENTRAL dilemma of the financially uncertain Liberal Party was crystallised by two of its leading MPs yesterday: When to take money and who it should come from. Mr Cvril Smith, the former Chief Whip, protested angrily at the way in which the prostituted press" had published details of a 50,000 offer the Canadian entrepreneur, Mi-George Marks dc Chabris, had made to him to run as leader, an offer Mr de Chabris denies. Mr Smith said this suggestion by Mr de Chabris had been more an offer of badly-needed funds to a Party which unlike the Conservatives and the Labour Party sets no salary from official Government funds for its leader. And Mr Richard Wainwright.

MP fir Colne, joined him in a radio interview by agreeing that the "parly could not afford to look too many gift horses in the Mr de Chabris, previously unknown to the Party, took advantage of this plain truth with a much-welcomed enthusiasm and a seemingly ever-open cheque book just a few months ago. The effervescent Canadian has managed in a few short weeks to rescue the National Liberal Club from closure. He has persuaded the Crown Estate Commissioners, the club's landlords, to let it be used as a new national party headquarters, when this had been refused twice before and saved the party from paying a more commercial rent for premises in King Street. And he has made his own "modest" contribution to party funds. Although Mr Smith and Mr Wainwright expressed little worry yesterday, aher members of the Liberal Party who place more emphasis on political pragmatism are not convinced that the ebullient, even Quixotic character of the Canadian is entirely in tune with the kirk-like anti-histrionic restraint of the present Party with David Steel as leader.

They are not at all sure, de- GARETH PARRY and PHILIP JORDAN man with an offer hard to issue invitations to sumptuous dinner parties. His new role as the local squire often caused amusement to the people of Bishopsbourne. Shortly after he moved in, he decided to excavate a large lake in front of the house. Locals ad.ised him not to do so, since the geology of the region ensurss that water soon drains away. Mr de Chabris would not listen and called in the bulldozers.

The lake was filled with water, which subsequently drained away. The large -hole in front of the house is still there. He is said to be extremely Right-wing for a Liberal, favouring, capital punishment and feeling that, with his wealth, he should vnot take advantage of the National Health Service. He has a scheme for shifting the burden of income tax to indirect taxation, and is said to have told guests that he had been to see Denis Healey, the Chancellor, with a foolproof plan to get Britain's economy back on the rails within six weeks. Mr de Chabris is married with four children, two sons and two daughters, three of them at public school.

The elJest, aged 19, lives in a room at the National Liberal Club in Whitehall Place. She and her husband, Richard Gough, the son of a doctor from Chartham, Kent, await trial on 17 charges of forging National Savings books and money orders, and falsely obtaining money using the books and orders. Miss de Chabris met Mr Gough, then an undergraduate, when she was sent to a secretarial college in Bangor, North Wales. The two began to live together, and were persuaded to marry by Mr de Chabris, who then refused to have anything more to do with them. Mr Gough has returned to Kent to Cyril Smith the market a few weeks after the takeover.

The library is not included in the terms of his lease, and Gladstone's will contained a covenant insisting that it stayed with the club. However, universities and other academic institutions around the country received calls from the club saying that the library was for sale, Bristol University, at the insistence of John Vincent, its Professor of History, put in a bid of 46,000 for the library, which would be 90 years of Liberal history at 50p a book. Bristol was asked if it could take the books away by August, only four weeks after Mr de Chabris officially gained control of the club. However, the library trustee sought the opinions of two counsel as to the restrictive clauses governing the library. One counsel said that the sale should go ahead, the other, that a Probate Court might have to make a ruling.

Bristol University says it is still interested but, since it is spending public money, cannot make a move until the trustees, the lawyers, and Mr de Chabris have stopped wrangling. Which leaves the Liberal Party still facing its dilemma How good a friend is Mr de Chabris 1 live with his father, and Mr de Chabris is now seeking to have them divorced. Mr de Chabris's business acti vities in Britain remain unclear, but Charlton Park Holdings, described as a property management company, showed a pre-tax loss of 695 in. the year to March 31, 1975. The registered office of the company is Mr de Chabris's house in Kent.

Mr de Chabris drove a hard bargain in negotiations for the National Liberal Club. He has redecorated the building and intends to promote cheap summer weekends and install squash courts, a billiards room, a sauna and a solarium. "I have -the advantage of that great Canadian product cash," he was reported as saying at the takeover. But one person involved in the negotiations says that he has effectively been given the building and all its contents except some works of art and Ihe library, which is governed by a separate trust. The club has met, or will meet, all its liabilities up to 30, the date it ceased to trade.

All Mr de Chabris has to do is to accept any forward liabilities of the club from July 1. He has also negotiated a five-year lease with the club's landlords, the Crown Estates, who are now awaiting more detailed proposals before they will extend the lease further. One clause, which Mr de Chabris is apparently interested in re-negotiating, restricts the use of the club as a political institution. What most Liberals did not realise, said the source, was that the club had been effectively changed from a members' club to a proprietor's club. Mr de Chabris has already raised the hackles of some members of the club by putting the unique Gladstone library on From ANNE McHARDY in Belfast over the past six weeks, and senior officers at Lisburn have been trying to regain ground they feel they have lost in the propaganda war they are fighting with the terrorists.

In Catholic West Belfast, soldiers have been involved in a series of incidents. Brian Stewart, aged 13, died 10 days ago after his skull had been fractured by an army plastic bullet. A pregnant woman was hit by a ricocheting plastic bullet on the Sunday he died. Last Wednescay the army was forced to withdraw an angry denial it had put out after White Rock area residents had said that a local club had been burnt down by soldiers. Eight soldiers were later charged with arson.

Then on Monday a group of Black Watch men in court charged with planting bullets on people. Soldiers' mistakes in Ulster 'not like acts of murder' says Mason 'Devil' death father cleared of murder for Left's hopes Continued from page one tian, insisting that a cut In imports could only lead to the diversion of domestic production from exports to the market, leaving the balance of payments worse off than ever. In spite of Mr Healey's outburst yesterday's two and a quarter hour meeting appears to have been relatively friendly. The mood was subdued, largely because of the joint warning from Mr Callaghan and Mr Cocks about the prospects for the parliamentary timetable. Mr Cocks told the meeting that even with drastic pruning of the customary parliamentary recesses only about 60 legislative days would be available for new legislation.

With 30 days already allocated to the vast devolution bill plus 24 days for the renewal of essential legislation, the balance available for entirely new bills added up to a mere five and a half days. His calculations were not challenged. Instead, Mr Norman Atkinson, the new Left-wing Treasurer of the party, claimed that the Queen's Speech should concentrate on proposals (not necessarily by way of legislation) designed to create more jobs. He asked, how the Government was going to be able to provide one million additional jobs in a period of three years. Mr Eric Heffer and Mr Ian Mikardo took up the same theme, insisting that there must be a return to compulsion in ihe proposed planning agreements originally designed to enable the Government to channel private investment into eSective manufacturing investment.

Mrs Castle warned that pay restraint had been sold to the unions on the basis of saving jobs. was prepared to endorse public expenditure cuts only where they were being made to divert resources into manufacturing growth. She demanded the inclusion of a target for job creation in the Queen's Speech, along with targets for industrial investment. It was this remark which appears to have set Mr Healey off on his angry denunciation of the Left. But it was Mr Callaghan who provided a characteristically avuncular summing up of the meeting.

Claiming that he had been encouraged by the accent on jobs and investment and that there was. a V.r.zis for unity contained in the debate, he warned the NEC: "We must be able to choose our own time for going to the country. And that means "hat we must sustain the Government" at least the negotiating mandates and a 200-mile limit when the Foreign Ministers meet again on October 29 and 30. Even if agreement is not reached before the Common Market summit in The Hague at the end of November, an interim settlement with Iceland might be prepared during the next six weeks. Most observers here are.

convinced, however, that, sooner rather than later, Britain and Ireland will have to retreat, on their 50-miles demand. Bright with showers A COMPLEX area of low pressure covers the British Isles. London, SE England. East Amjiia, and NW 'England, Isle Man, Cent England. N.

October 20. 1976. Registered as a. rwHipaptr at the, Post Office. Clifford Read, who killed his daughter with a pair of scissors because he thought she was possessed by the devil, was yesterday cleared of murder.

After retiring for two hours a jury at Lincoln Crown Court unanimously found Mr Read not guilty of murder by reason of insanity. His wife, Marion, who was also accused of murder, was found not guilty of any charge. Mr Justice Swanwick said that there was only one order which he could make, that Mr Read be admitted to such hospital as may be specified by the Secretary of State." He said that so far as this court is concerned Marion Read was discharged. Mr David Barker, QC, for the defence, said The jury and the public should know that Mrs Read is going into the care of medical men at once." A psychiatrist called by the defence said that Mr Read was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia which was transmitted to his wife by a process known as folie a deux." Evidence at the trial from relatives and friends of the stop-trading by the Chief Registrar of Friendly Societies under Section 8 of the Building Societies Act 1962. This prohibits acceptance of any more investments.

The society had total assets of 6,205 at the end of 1970. Its registered office is Mr de Chabris's 100,000 country home, Charlton Park, Bishopsbourne, near Canterbury, Kent. Members of the Liberal Party appear to have believed that' he is a millionaire; one of the 10 richest men in Canada and a friend of Lester Pearson; These suggestions hav. not been confirmed. Mr de Chabris, who says that he has been in supermarket development, banking, and beef farming, is unknown to the Canadian Bankers' Association, the Better Business Bureau, the Department of Corporate and Consumer Affairs, the Canadian Development Agency, the Government of Quebec and the Farmers' Co-operative Federee de Quebec.

The Federal Liberal Agency, which keeps a list of all contributors to the Canadian Liberal Partv of more than 100 dollars, have" not heard of him and he is not in the Canadian Who's Who or the Directory of Directors. Mr de Chabris is in his early sixties. He says he was born in Canada, the son of a French nobleman. He grew up during the depression and went out to work at 13 to feed his mother and brother. "I remember living on cornflakes for a week." He studied at high school during the day.

At night he worked as a $15-a-week theatre usher. His break into the busi- pair of scissors with which he cut open Samantha's throat as a kind of sacrifice. In calling for a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity the prosecuting counsel, Mr Piers Ashworth, QC, said that Mr Read's insanity was beyond question, but he added that such a verdict was not open to Mrs Read since, although very disturbed, she did not quite fall within the legal definition of insanity. In his instructions to the jury on Monday Mr Justice Swanwick had said that Mrs Read's mental state would reduce any finding against her to manslaughter. He added: "If she was no more than a passive spectator she would not be guilty of anything, whether she approved of what her husband was doing or not." When the jury returned their verdicts yesterday the judge said that steps would be taken to see that Mrs Read was kept in proper medical care until she was fit to return to society.

He added I entirely agree with both your verdicts."

He and nine other GIs pooled their $2,000 discharge cheques to buy a piece of land in California. The Hollywood State Bank lent the difference, and the GIs made $100,000 profit when the land was built on. According to his own story, Mr de Chabris has never looked back. He came to Britain as plain George Marks about seven years ago, bringing his family to escape what he called "the drug-ridden scene in North America. He.

said he came from Montreal, but some friends recall talk of a stay in Florida. His name first appeared in local newspapers in Kent when he successfully bid for Charlton Park, a well-known stately home and former Dr Barnardo's. He paid a reputed 100,000 for trace the origins of the refuse the Regency house set in 20 acres of parkland. The renaming to Charlton Manor seems to have coincided with his own change of name to George Marks de Chahris. The Marks, he explained, was his mother's name in the French Canadian tradition.

He filled his house with fine antique furniture and eighteenth century English works of art. When the recent issue of Post Office stamps featuring British artists came out he was hetrd to say that he had one of those" the painting, not the stamp hanging on his wall at home. He launched himself into what one local observer called middle society, no knights, or earls" in Kent, and though keeping very much to himself in the house, would occasionally Ceasefire suspicions Continued from' page. one Palestinian resistance as an effective military force. Arafat, has gone to Bagdad perhaps tp urge the Iraqis to cooperate but it may yet come to a trial of strength between him, the representative of the Palestinian mainstream, and the rejectionists.

In the opposite camp the Maronite militants also have grave misgivings. Under the. agreement the Palestinians are to adhere, within 45 days of the arrival of Arab forces, to the 1969 Cairo agreement which imposes long-abandoned constraints on their, military presence in the country. Nevertheless, the hope is that realism will prevail in the Christian camp. For if Syrians have sincerely accepted the Arabisation of Lebanon, the Rightists, whose successes in recent months have been achieved mainly on the shoulders of the Syrians, will -lack the strength to defy, the Riyadh settlement unless, that is, -they turn completely to the Israelis.1, Moreover, Phalangists, aware that thev emerge as: peacetime power in ino iuribuaii camp; may uuw ire, ready, like Arafat on his tip bring- the Cha- moun ana rangien swniH luice-f ully to heel.

Later the army had a few words of its own to add to Mr Mason's.

After two members of the King's Own Border Regiment were hit, one in the back and one in the groin, by a sniper at the junction of Falls Road and White Rock Road, a statement by the army pointed out that eight high velocity shots had been fired at a busy time. There were children, parents and other pedestrians around. The shots had been fired at a Land-Rover from about 100 metres away from a house on Falls Road. The army has been criticised Check for 700 babies More than 700 babies born at King's College Hospital, London, since July are to be checked because they have been in contact with a doctor who has been found to be suffering from respiratory tuberculosis. The hospital said last night that letters had been sent to all parents of babies born in the period as well as to general practitioners and local authority clinic doctors.

UK's fishing hopes dashed ings in the Cayman Islands, a politically sensitive area since Lonrho's dcaiin0s there were dubbed the "unacceptable face of capitalism." None of Mr de Chabris's affairs have been called into question but his association with tax havens is politically difficult. One of his principal business vehicles in the early 1970s was an offshore property investment mutual fund, incorporated in Grand Cayman. That fund. United States Income Properties (USIP) is now in liquidation, as is another company with which Mr de Chabris was connected, Dominion of Canada Income Properties. In Britain, Mr de Chabris and his wife, Jan, have also run into some trouble.

They were both directors of a small building society, the City and Suburban, which last year was ordered to By JOHN ANDREWS couple revealed no history of religious mania. Mr Read was a self-employed joiner whose perfectionism led to financial troubles which, according to one psychiatrist, might have sparked off the decline into mental illness. The couple were not intellectually gifted and Mrs Read had an IQ of only 84. But their semi-detached house in Sleaford was spotless and their children were always well-dressed, well-fed and well-behaved. It was the couple's very closeness to one another that led to Mrs Read accepting her husband's illusion that the end of the world was near.

During the week-long trial the prosecution told the jury that on May 28 Mr Read (37) and Mrs Read (31) lay on a bed with their five-year-old son, Matthew; and their eight-year-old daughter, Samantha, waiting for the world to end. After a family Bible reading session the couple had decided that they were to be saved but that Samantha could not go with them because the devil had got inside her. Mr Read's hands were then guided to a plan is available.) Post the G2010 I I iiftjuig (Quanantees)Ljmited Three bombs exploded in two shops in the Shankill area of Belfast yesterday. The bombs were planted by four armed men at a china shop and at a paint and hardware shop. Provisional Sinn Fein was no more than the propaganda wing of a criminal organisation," the Provisional IRA, Dr Conor Cruise O'Brien, the Minister of Post and Telegraphs, said yesterday in defence of his ban on Irish radio and television interviews with members of that party.

Mr Ken Morgan, the general secretary of the National Union of Journalists, yesterday urged the Irish Government to think again. "The NUJ must and does deplore this week's move by the Irish Government to ban from screens and the microphone interviews with members of Provisional Sinn Fein, both IRAs and the outlawed groups of Northern Ireland," he said. between Britain and Ireland and the other Community countries on the Question of exclusive zones." The French, Belgian, Dutch, and Danish governments are. adamant that the existing 12-mile limits should be reduced to no more than six miles. They insist that agreement should be reached the basis of fish catch quotas.
