France and US in spy plane row By DRESIDENT REAGAN'S always uneasy relations with President Mitterrand of France have reached a new low point of irritation over what the United States considers to be France's duplicity in her dealings with America over the Chad crisis. The Reagan Administration is particularly angered over M. Mitterrand's claim that France was not consulted about America's decision to send (airborne warning and control) radar planes to Sudan support the French Air Force.

Washington has also denied charges made by M. Mitterrand in a recent interview with Le Mande that America trying to involve France combat with Libya. Senior American officials unusually blunt language have dismissed M. Mitterrand's charges as "total disinformation." In his interview M. Mitterrand complained that America had complicated the situation in Chad and that he heard of the decision to send the Awacs only when he read about it in the Press.

The radar planes with an escort of eight fighters, were flown to Khartoum to provide RICHARD BEESTON in Washington French with advanced radar intelligence bomber should the French Air Force become involved in the fighting. But since French planes have not been used in support of Chad government forces, the Awacs and their escorts have remained grounded at Khartoum airport. Mr Caspar Weinberger, American Secretary of Defence, has since confirmed that the Awacs were sent because the French indicated they wanted them." There was, he said, "full consultation with the French government. "There was a clear indication that. if they should want to commit air force for activities to the Libyans, they would need some intelligence," he added.

Mr Larry Speakes, White House spokesman, said: We have consulted fully on a daily basis during the entirety of the problem with numerous French government and military officials at the highest level." This highest level he said, included the French President. "What we are seeing here," said another official, is another Mitterrand effort to have it both ways. He agrees with us' on policy, but tries to leave the Police vigil to jog memories By PETER DOBBIE A hunt POLICE for the intensified three savage. their attackers of a six-year-old boy, it emerged that officers are being hampered by the tortuous task of gathering evidence from the youngster, who has a severe speech impediment, and a twin brother who shares the handicap. Tonight, exactly a week after the kidnap and assault, Brighton police will mount an operation along the Sussex coastline which they hope will bring forward witnesses.

Motorists and pedestrians will be shown pictures which they hope a memory that can identify the three attackers or help find a vital piece of missing evidence, the boy's missing khaki T-shirt.

TRAVERS CONFRONTATION between Left-wing and moderate trade unions seems certain at the TUC conference in Blackpool next month over the General Council's decision to end its boycott on talks with Mr. Tebbit, Employment Secretary. As the final conference agenda, published yesterday, shows, the two sides are poles their attitudes to Mrs Thatcher and the Government, with the hard Left determined to defeat any moves to sighten trade union law. The mineworkers, led by Mr A Arthur Scargill, not merely content to maintain the boycott, are urging civil disobedience and extra Parliamentary action" to foil any further legislation on the subject. Predictably, the footplatemen's union, Aslef, led by the calls on all affiliated organisMr.

The Association of Scientific, Technical and Managerial Staffs, whose general secretary Clive Jenkins, accuses Mr Tebbit of disregard for the human trade union rights. enshrined in the International Labour, Organisation conventions 87 and 89.3 ent of the Government, wants Mr. Jenkins, a bitter oppona vigorous policy of nonco-operation with Mr Tebbit and -compliance with any further legislation placed on the statute book. Lined up against the militants are the union moderates, who take the pragmatic view that there is a Conservative LATE NEWS By PAUL WILLIAMS, SENIOR Cambridge don A has' been dropped as a Fellow of, Peterhouse, after a row with Lord Dacre, a move provoked fierce controversy.

Dr Hallard director of studies in mathematics at Peterhouse and Fellow for more 'than 20 years, has been told he must leave his college rooms after next tedm although he will continue to work for the college. The row has led to a deterioration in relations between Lord Dacre (the historian Hugh Trevor-Roper) and many of the Peterhouse Fellows, and a move to reinstate Dr Croft is: expected either during the vacation. or at the beginning of next term. A Cambridge don's membership of a college does not affect, his relationship as a lecturer forthe university. Being a Fellow confers rights to rooms in the college and dining the hall; extra duty.

as a college tutor brings in an additional salary of around £3,000 a year. Under the statutes of Peterhouse a teaching Fellow as Dr. Croft has to be re-elected every five years, a matter normally considered a mere formality. Details of what exactly happened at the college last month: are difficult to ascertain because counthe a parties classic to what has Oxbridge bethe matter with the outsiders. academic row refuse to discuss Relations between Lord Dacre, who was elected three years ago, and some of the Fellows have become strained in recent months.

His famous acid wit has not always been appreciated by those who were its victims. Dr. Croft is reported to have sent a letter to Lord Dacre expressing rather plainly his concern about these strained relations, a letter which he subsequently withdrew. On Saturday, July 2, two days before a meeting of the college's governing basically the teaching Fellows- -Lord Dacre withdrew the agenda in which Dr Croft's -name appeared for re-election and substituted a new one omitting his name. The following Monday there was consternation among the Education Correspondent Fellows at the meeting.

It was, by then, too late for someone else to nominate: Dr Croft, he ceases to be a on October 1. He remains as a director studies, however, and the meeting agreed to allow him live, in the college and dine there for a further term. Since then it has been re? that. Lord Dacre has personally supervised: the -removal of Dr Croft's name from all relevant lists. But the controversy has sent' many of the Fellows scurrying to the college: library to study Continued on Back Page, Col4 impression publicly that he has distanced himself from us." A PARIS CORRESPONDENT writes: President Mitterrand is expected to address the French people during the coming week, probably in a newspaper interview, to explain the French intervention in Chad and French diplomatic efforts to bring about a settlement.

M. Mitterrand IS reported to have been reluctant to make any public statements before establishment of the French military presence in Chad had been completed. He will have to explain, however, why he waited so long before launching the Chad operation. He has been criticised by opposition personalities for what has been described as hesitation. It is also expected that the French President will try to clarify the uncomfortable diplomatic situation arising from United States pressure on the French leader to take early action in Chad, and there have conflicting statements 'on' whether the French actually encouraged the United States to send Awacs aircraft to the region.

Det-Supt Mike Ainsley, who is leading the search, has now spent 24 hours quizzing Dr Jones. The village GP took a solicitor with him when he went to yesterday's inquiry HQ at Coggeshall in Essex. Det-Supt Ainsley refused to give any details of the latest interview, but that the inquiry was not being scaled down.

The mobile incident officethe base for the operation since Dr Jones reported his wife missing three weeks ago is being moved to Witham police station, eight miles away, today.

Mrs Jones, 35, disappeared after the couple.

returned from having a drink in the Woolpack Inn, half a mile from their home: shortly before, midnight on July 23. Dr Jones, who has been working normally at the Village surgery and on his rounds during the search for his rife. has told police he may go. on holiday tomorrow. But he has agreed to keep in touch with the search HO.

Det-Supt Ainsley, who is also taking a week's holiday tomorTow, said he would want to talk to! Dr Jones again. Lord Dacre Government in power and that the unions will get, nowhere by ignoring that fact. Among the moderates, the Civil and Public Association says that members are unlikely to support industrial action to oppose Governlegislative proposals on the unions. An the Institute of Professional Civil Servants makes it plain that it wants nothing to do with Mr Scargill's approach. The shop workers' union, Usdaw, also urges caution by advising the General Council to "use every possible -means to convey their reasoned opposition to legislation which would, in their view, interfere with the unions' internal affairs.

The Left-wingers will point derisively at the failure of the TUC delegation to win any tangible concession from Mr Tebbit in their talks with him last week. But the General Council is. expected to win the day. In that event, talks with the Minister will start immediately after the Conservative party conference in October.

Detective Chief Inspector Geoffrey Randle, who is leading the hunt, said yesterday: Both boys have speech impediments and their rapport has been a little bit worse since this attack happened.
