BIRMINGHAM CITY COUNCIL BLUE COAT SCHOOL FEES PROPOSAL Time for the Council to Be Brought In Asking for a full report on proposals for the future of the Blue Coat School, Harborne, at yesterday's meeting of Birmingham City Council, Coun. Denis Howell described the action of the governors in closing down two of the houses at the school as bordering on the scandalous." He suggested that if the governors could not afford to run the school they should hand it to the city. NEW ACTION ON OVERSPILL DELAY Aid. Mrs. E.

V. Smith chairman of the Education Committee, accepted an amendment moved to the report of her committee, said that a full report would be brought before the council. The amendment. which was carried, read as follows: That the committee be requested to consider whether a recent protfrito admit fee-paying pupils to Blue Coat School is contrary to the intentions of the founders, and to the traditions of the school, and whether such a proposal, if adopted, would be at variance with the of the Education Committee for the use of the school as laid down in the Education Development Plan: and to report to the council hereon as soon as Birmingham's overspill problem was emphasised again at yesterday's meeting of the City Council, when Ald. W.

T. Bowen, chairman of the General Purposes Committee, reported that at an emergency meeting of his committee before the council meeting a special sub-committee had been appoLnted to deal with the matter. He said that the sub-committee would consist of representatives of the following committees: General Purposes, Public Works. House Building. Housing Management.

Estates and Finance. Despite the coming recess It was hoped the sub-committee would meet at an early date. Scandalous Not to Use Facilities to the Full' Moving it, Coun. Howell said that old boys of the school were perturbed about proposed changes. "At the annual meeting the chairman of the.

governors made It clear that changes! were imminent, and so I feel the time has come when the City Council must be brought into this matter." Coun. Howell said. When a report was received the council could determine what representations. if any, should be made at any enquiry held. The governors reported that there was a deficit of about £25,000, Coun.

Howell continued, but the published accounts did not say that. and he calculated the deficit at about £9,000. In any case, viewed in relation to assets of six figures, the deficit was small. and did not justify what was being done at the school. At least two houses at the school had been shut down, and it was bordering on the scandalous that such facilities should not be used to the full.

Coun. Howel said that if the Blue Coat School was turned into a feepaying school the City Council's educational plan for the city would be upset, and it would mean that a new building would have to be put up at Hartorne to replace the primary school now carried on in the school. Governors' Difficulty Explained Alleging that it was proposed to change completely the character of the school. Coun. Howell said: The school is not now being used as it ought to be.

and there is no case at all for turning something which by heritage belongs to the ordinary People into an institution where one can only get in by paving prohibitive fees." Ald. G. Corbvn Barrow. who said that he was a governor of the Blue Coat School. quite independent of the City Council.

supported the amendment "in general." but said that he thought it very desirable that the problem confronting the governors should be put more definitely to the council. There they had a foundation begun in 1722 for the benefit of 1 orphan children in Birmingham and other children deserving of bounty. Like many other charitable organisations, its precise functions had changed and many of its functions were unnecessary. The welfare services were dealing with children who previously would have been objects of bounty. "Thus we have this school, working rather in a vacuum, trying to provide a service no longer needed by the community." Ald.

Barrowaald. Obviously thought has got to be given to what new service shall take its place." Again. thought had to be given to the difference in the value of money Before 1939 the school, on an endowed income of about £14,000 a year. could board. feed and educate 140-150 children, and do it pretty well.

Now it was impossible to do that for children at an average of about £lOO a year. Money had been saved by handing over the primary school to the city but even now the school's finances were not adequate to perform the objects of the old foundation. Action on Advice of the Ministry Coun. E. E.

Mole, formerly on the board of governors said is halithe Ministry of Education adv the closing of one or two house on grounds of economy. Coun. Mrs H. L. Radford.

a governor of the school, said that the chairman of the governors denied that they were trying to sacrifice poor children to those who could pay may. or that the character of the school was being changed. Complaint of the irresponsible" way in which Coun. Howell had moved his amendment was made by Coun. Stephen Lloyd.

who said that Coun. Howell had failed to inform himself of all the facts. He hoped the council would listen to Ald. Barrow and not prejudge the matter. Accepting the amendment.

Aid. Mrs. Smith said that Coun. Howell was incorrect when he said that changes were imminent. Before the Minister of Education consented to any scheme there would be consultation with the Education Committee and this had yet to be done.

The Ven. 8. Harvie Clark. Archdeacon of Birmingham. and chairman of the governors of the Blue Coat School.

said last night that he had no comment to make on the City Council debate and the request for a report, beyond expressing his complete confidence that the committee's report would uphold the governors' policy. Protest on House Subsidies Cut The Birmingham City Council Yesterday Protested against the reduction of the general standard subsidies for houses which the Minister of Housing Proposes to bring into operation on April 1. 1955. The protest was contained in a resolution moved by Coun. W.

H. Milner. who said that while the council recognised the effect of the recent reduction in the rate of interest for loans from the Public Works Loan Board, the Minister had not given sufficient weight to the increase in the cost of building new houses since the rates of subsidy were fixed in 1952. and the increase in the cost of maintenance and management. The resolution said that the Council did not accent the contention that because the average wages of the working people were said to have been increased during the past two years it could be assumed that the wage-earner could now afford to allocate 19s, out of his weekly earnings to pay his net rent, compared with the previously assumed figure of 188.

a week. Ald. Sir Theodore Pritchett, opposing the motion, said that experience in Birmingham did not Justify any protest, for, with the reduced interest rate, rents would fall from £1 as. 9d. to £1 Is.

sd. Ald. A. F. Bradbeer said that at a conference at the House of Commons on June 21 with the Minister, representatives of the Association of Municipal Corporations, the London County Council, the metropolitan boroughs the county boroughs, the boroughs, the urban districts and the rural districts.

representing all shades of political opinion, had protested against the proposals. Improvements at the Town Hall Proposed The Council approved new scales of charges for the Birmingham Town' Hall. designed to reduce the present financial deficit. Improvement of the entrance and basement were being considered and it was proposed to relax the smoking restriction while providing for promoters to use their discretion. An amendment asking for the provision of double windows to be considered.

to reduce outside noise, was approved. Provision had been made for this in the estimates for the past two years.

Year-old Story The real trouble started Just over a year ago when a Federal Power Commission hearing opened in Washington concerning Hell's Canyon on the Snake River in the State of Idaho. 5.500 miles from the eastern seaboard. The Administration had decided to end plans for the erection of a dam under Federal authority: the Commission had to decide whether a private electric power company should build three small dams. The original scheme would have had multi-purpose objectives: the private scheme, it is alleged.

would make such a scheme impossible as well as producing less electric power. Conceivably. the privately-produced power i would have been more costly estimates under the Federal scheme, for it is a very sore point with the private power interests in the United States that the T.V.A. can produce power cheaply mainly because it is able to borrow far more cheaply than private companies. Lower interest charges, it is alleged.

are passed on to the consumer in the form of lower tariff rates for electricity supply. thus forming a good example of unfair competition. Hell's Canyon and the T.V.A. are. however, but two of the projects that have come under fire since President Eisenhower took office.

There were considerable differences between the two. Hell's Canyon. for instance. is a projected scheme. T.V.A.

has been in existence for a generation, and here the question is one of expansion. The Administration has refused to sanction any new Federal scheme, and is leaving tasks which such schemes would in the past have undertaken to private capital. The supporters of public electric supply urge that unless such a scheme T.V.A. is allowed to develop it will die. for if it is denied expansion its charges for electricity will tend to rise, and lose it some of the support it receives on account of its Co-operators Worried In the Missouri River Basin, there has been trouble over the sale of electric to the rural electric co-operatives which have certain preferred rights under the law that established them.

These co-operatives are worried lest they be driven out of business by the same type of pressures feared by T.V.A. a gradual Back-to-back Houses Traps' Conference to Discuss Small Heath Fire A conference between Birmingham City Council committees, including the Fire Brigade Committee and the Health Committee, is to be called to discuss what action can be taken to prevent another fire in a back-to-back house such as that which occurred during the week-end in Cooksey Road, Small Heath, in which a man and five of his children lost their lives. The conference was proposed by Coun. R. T.

Wothers, chairman of the Fire Brigade Committee, during a discussion on the fire at yesterday's meeting of the City Council. The suggestion was welcomed by Ald. G. Corbyn Barrow, chairman of the Health Committee, who in reply to questions by Ald. A.

F. Bradbeer, told the council that though the 26.598 back-to-back houses in the city were scheduled for demolition, it would be impossible to demolish all of them without alternative accommodation for occupants. Over in 11 Minutes During the discussion on the fire Coun. Wothers revealed that only 11 minutes elapsed between the time the father knocked the wall to attract his neighbour until the firemen were attempting and in this time the fattier and five children had died. Aid.

Bradbeer, who is leader of the controlling Socialist group on the City Council. and chairman of the House Building Committee, said that he was sure all members of the council would feel deeply about the dreadful experience. The question naturally arises whether this kind of tragedy will arise again in a three room back-to-back house," he said. The tragedy emphasised the seriousness of the housing position in the city, when a family of nine was driven to occupy such premises. Ald.

Bradbeer asked: How many of this type of house have we in the Ave redevelopment areas? How many of this type of house still remain in the ownership of private landlords? How many of those properties which still remain in the possession of private landlords are likely to be scheduled for demolition under the terms of what will be known the Housing Repairs and Rents Act? U.S. BATTLE OF PRIVATE v. PUBLIC POWER Possible Issue at Elections From Our New York Correspondent The Tennessee Valley Authority, known all over the world by the simple initials T.V.A., and one of the proudest achievements of the Roosevelt Administration, has recently been at the centre of a controversy that may well play an important part in the Congressional elections In November. President Eisenhower, Who has described himself as a conservative in U.B. domestic affairs has referred to the T.V.A.

as creeping socialism." and there has never been much doubt that such scl would receive short shrift under his Administration. But he failed to reckon with many factors, and in recent weeks the chickens have been coming home to roost in large numbers and at a mast inconvenient time. The President's policy has been directedi mainly against the provision of electric power by the Federal Government under the various conservation schemes that were steadily developed all over the country under the Roosevelt and Truman regimes. It is not that President Eisenhower wishes to wind up these schemes and turn them over to private interests. although many of his supporters would be delighted if he would do Just that.

He aims to keep things as they are now, and to let private interests take over from now on, except in the case of large multiplecontrol schemes such as rh os einvolving flood control, navigation and irrigation as well as electric power. erosion of their responsibilities by encroaching private power interests. Across the country in the Pacific North-West. there is an area which has a rainfall average surpassed only by an English summer, and has developed considerably in post-war years both in production and population It is therefore in great need of new electricity supplies. Here, power interests have been encouraged to stake claims, nthhe announcement that there will be no new Federal schemes until it has been seen what private companies are willing to undertake.

At the same time, the Bonneville Power Administration has had its functions restricted, presumably to prepare the ground for a fresh advance by private power interests. The snag, of course, is that these Federal schemes, especially the T.V.A., have been extremely popular. The huge dams and flood control schemes have not only supplied water for hydro-electric schemes. They have supplied water for irrigation projects and for navigation, and by developing hundreds of square miles of countryside have raised the standard of living of thousands, many of whom were previously in a low economic class. Then again.

the rural electric cooperatives form a highly organised and highly vocal group, and in many areas it is conceivable that this electric power issue will be more important this autumn than farm price Administration headache. Five Similar Tragedies Coun. Wothers said that the house in which the fire occurred was not in a redevelopment area. There was excessive overcrowding there. It was a three-storey building.

built on an area 15ft. by 1 lft. Whatever might have caused the tire. the fact remained that due to the structure of the common with thousands a fire originated found themselves in a death trap. Coun.

Wothers recalled five similar tragedies in the past 20 years, together resulting in the deaths of 36 adults and children. There is only one solution: get rid of the backto-back houses," he said. Suggesting tne conference, he said that they must try to find some means of lessening the risk of such fires. 113 reply to the questions, Ald. Corbyn Barrow said that there were 26.598 back-to-back houses in the city.

He had not the figures of those in the redevelopment areas and those in private ownership. They were all potentially scheduled for demolition as unfit for human habitation but the demolition rate depended on the rate of new house building. It would be impossible at the present time to demolish 26 000 houses. Demands Encouraged The success of T.V.A. and of similar smaller schemes has encouraged demands from other parts of the country for similar projects.

Many of the country are desperately short of water, not least California w'iich, like the Pacific North-West, Is rapidly developing and attracting thousands of emigrants" from all OV the United States. The recent terrible drought and the threats of yet arother Dust Bowl in the Middle Western States are other facets of this p'oblem. Not, everything is against the Presidint. The private power interests are, of course, delighted with the trend of events. So are those who, while not benefiting from this affair, are pleased to find Federal industrial interests on the defensive.

Some States, too, may well be glad to see an end of cheap Federal power in sight. The developing States such as California and Oregon would be pleased to receive additional supplies of cheap electricity to feed their growing industries, but as the older industrial States in New England, which for long have been losing both industry and population, have every' reason to be glad that such attractions may be in number in future. Just what the outcome of the present discussion will be is still a matter of opinion. There are stout supporters of Federal schemes both in and out of Congress. Most of these have been on the same side of the fence all the time, but now and again someone jumps.

the fence. Recently. for example, Senator Fulbright, of Arkansas, who has long been a staunch supporter of T.V.A. schemes, has changed sides. conceivably because a private steam plant under consideration by the President would be in his home State and would cost over $100.000.000.

This plant would be used to replac epplies power that the T.V.A. now su to the Pad Kentucky atomic energy plant.ucah. One Tunnel First for Glasgow Minister on Project's Increased Estimate The Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation, Mr. Alan Lennox- Boyd. told a deputation from the Glasgow Corporation with whom he discussed in London yesterday the Whiteinch-Linthouse tunnel project.

that he would authorise work to gu ahead on the first of the twin tunnels planned. The Ministry statement afterwards said: The Minister explained that when he undertook last December to make £3.000.000 available for the project he did so in the belief that this would enable the construction of two tunnels at an estimated cost of £4:000.000.. "The latest detailed estimate of the cost of the whole project amounted, however, to over £5,000,000. and while the ultimate plan remained the provision of twin tunnels, as authorised by Parliament. and the approaches would be designed on that basis, the amount of money at his disposal would permit him to authorise only the construction of a single tunnel at present."

THE BIRMINGHAM POST, WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1954 Malaya Settles Down Under New Ruler Turbulent Weeks of Change From Our Kuala Lumpur Correspondent A month and a half after Gen. Templer's departure the Federation of Malaya is settling down to the slow, arduous task of eliminating militant Communism and putting the country on the road to self government under another High Commissioner. It has been a turbulent six 1 weeks. The Communists signalled the opening of the seventh year of the Emergency by murdering two Europlanters near the spot where Fir i fune.

1948, the killing of four of their colleagues had marked the stert of the period of terrorism. During the month and a half, too, UMNO-MCA Alliance, the biggest combine ever formed in Malayan politics, es, withdrew its support of Government by walking out from Federal. Municipal, town and village councils. The walk out was a momentous decision. It constituted a supreme teat of the Alliance and of the Malayan Chinese Association itself.

It had been the idea of the United Malays National Organisation, but there were two opinions about it in the MCA ranks. A minority opposed on the successful pattern laid down under his predecessor, Sir Geoffrey Bourne is waging an allout drive to keep the terrorists on the run and prevent them from taking the initiative. Gen. Bourne has begun his work in systematic and painstaking fashion. June was a very successful month although the total of surrenders was lower than usual.

However the number of terrorists killed exceeded the figure for May. A member of Gen. Bourne's staff has pointed out, however, the terrorists are still capable of picking targets for surprise raids and making themselves a nuisance in remote areas and on lonely stretches of road. He warned the public against falling into a state of apathy regarding the Emergency and leaving the Cask of fighting the terrorists solely to the Security Forces. Information about the presence and movements of terrorists and their agents would be a great help, he stressed.

The more information the people gave to the forces the sooner would the Emergency be over. As for the new High Commissioner, when Sir Donald was appointed Deputy High Commissioner more than two years ago many people in Malaya wondered whether he was the most suitable man for the post. He had had no experience of this country and they called him "The Man from Jamaica." They had wanted a man from inside Malaya for the job. Now they realise they had under -estimated him and are very happy that he has succeeded Gen. Templer as High Commissioner.

Col. H. S. Lee Dr. Ismail the boycott.

arid for a time UMNO executives doubted whether their partners would come in with them. Here and there an MCA official but the split was only slight and in the end the organisation sealed the gaps created. Slum Clearance at Kidderminster Test of Maturity The boycott was also a test of Malaya's political maturity. Before he left Gen. Templer had presumably warned the Alliance against the danger of political unrest and disorder at a time when the country was still passing through an emergency.

The new High Commissioner, Sir Donald MacOillivray. who is in London on a short visit, repeated the warning that the Alliance worked the boycott without any disturbances occurring speaks volumes for its solidarity. Many Political observers thought the boycott was unnecessary and was little more than a gesture to impress the people that it was sincere in its demand for an effective elected majority in the new Federal Legislative council. Plan Before Council Kidderminster's first large postwar slum clearance scheme, involving the demolition of 89 houses covering four acres in the vicinity of Broad Street and York Street, is to be considered by the Borough Council to-day. The scheme, which will be strongly recommended by a slum clearance sub-committee, provides for the demolition of all houses in the area with the exception of six almshouses and a public house, and the building on the same site of 51 terrace type houses and eight old people's bungalows.

The land affected would be acquired at site value and the new houses would cost £109,500. The Borough Engineer, a sub-committee report states, would build many of the houses before large-scale demolition takes place, so that occupants of the old houses affected could move direct into new homes in the same district. Other residents affected I would be rehoused on Council estates elsewhere in the town. Nevertheless, the boycott succeeded in bringing about a compromise with the Federation Government. The High Commissioner, doubtless with the approval of the Colonial Office, agreed to consult the majority party before making the nominations to five of the seven "reserved seats.

The purpose is to fill these seats with representatives 'not likely to find themselves out of harmony with major political opinion in the Council as reflected among the elected members." Councils Paralysed The scheme would be extended later to include adjoining houses which, the report states, have "only a very short life." Part of the four acres affected is zoned as Industrial land, but an application has been made to the County Council for its re-classification as residential. The absence of Alliance members from local councils paralysed these bodies for a time, but with the return to normal now taking place, neither side is to suffer. The Federation Government, it is believed, felt the temporary absence of the two Alliance members from the Cabinet," CoL H. 8. Lee and Dr.

Ismail bin Dato Abdul Rahman. Col. Lee, a Hongkong-born and Cambridge-educated Chinese, made a fortune in tin mining in this country and became the acknowledged leader of the Chinese miners. He avoided the Japanese occupation by going to Chungking. got an army commission and served Allied interests in India.

He has kept his army rank to this day. Dr. Ismail is regarded by many as the best brains in the UMNO leadership. He has proved his ability in public debate and private council and will probably succeed to the UMNO presidency if and when Tengku Abdul Rahman retires from politics. The participation of the two Alliance men in the Federation Government gives it much prestige.

During the last fortnight the Alliance has been sending mass deputations to see the Sultans to impress on them its sincerity in pressing for a workable elected majority in the new Legislature. At the same time it is taking the opportunity to give a first-hand assurance to the Rulers that it in no way challenges their status as constitutional heads of State in the new Malaya.

What is happening at Coventry, and what is most likely to happen here unless we kill this sort of amendment, is that they have found themselves beset by that great weakness of pacifism, which has to be put on one side if we are to get down to defending our homes, our wives and our families. Sir Theodore said it was obvious that there must be areas where there would be no destruction, and where there would be ample opportunity for Civil Defence services. To delay would be a betrayal by the council of the 4.000 Civil Defence volunteers who had already entered the service. Numbers would diminish, and they would feel the council had deserted them. "We have to look to the chance that the bomb would not fall here, but somewhere outside, perhaps damaging only a part of the city, giving us a chance to succour those who might be injured, of bringing health and fire services into action, and of bringing aid to cities around There might be matters of security which would hamper the Civil Defence Committee if they were made public.

There was no guarantee that when the report requested was presented it would be acceptable to one part of the Council Chamber, and the appointment of the officers, now recommended by the committee. might be delayed again. "To delay any precautions we can take would be criminal folly." Sir Theodore said. This amendment is founded tin that beastly conception of defeatism. which very nearly lost us the last war, and which, unless we shake ourselves free of it, may lead to the destruction of our city and country in any future war." Coun.

E. E. Mole, formerly chairman of the Civil Defence Committee. and a member of the Association of Municipal Corporations' Civil Defence Committee, said that the subject could not be dealt with on party political lines. No Government could guarantee immunity to all its citizens, but the present Government was sending out circulars and advice, and Birmingham was doing its best to act upon them.

"We must not run away from our duty." he said. 'The Picture Too Black' Ald. W. T. Bowen, chairman of the General Purposes Committee and past leader of the Socialist Group, said that he was not too happy about the amendment, but would support it to obtain more information.

I hold sincerely 'and implacably that we have an obligation as a democratic community always to defend ourselves from attack," he said. They need not paint the picture too black or people would fold their arms and I do nothing to help to secure their own survival or that of other people. out, and it was hoped that more warning could be given of a raid. At the present moment it was a bit close because the quicker aeroplanes could travel the less warning could be given: this was being considered at Government level. The provision of shelters was difficult.

No one could say where a bomb might fall, and, therefore, if deep shelters were to be provided they would have to be for the whole "population. The cost would preclude rehousing and housing schemes. social services and all else that had been gained. Anderson shelters and brick shelters were still in existence and. with slight modifications, could be the means of saving lives in the outer perimeter.

Let us not be too despondent about shelters," he said. Dr. Arnott continued: We have been trying many schemes to get more recruits. We have found that getting people to come into some central department for training is not easy. The response has not been what we would call good.

We have 4,300 workers in Birmingham with a peace-time establishment of 15,000 about a quarter of what we really need. We are proposing to take Civil Defence out to the people if they will not come to us. We are certain that this method will win a very large number of the recruits we need for our 15.000 establishment. Duty to Help Others We know we are going to have mobile columns which will come in to help but we must be there on the soot as well. If the bomb drooped at Smethwick.

not all Birmingham would be wiped out: if the bomb dropped in Coventry we would have to go there to hell) them. For security's sake we cannot say what towns we have already got in touch with, towns which would be able to help a city of this size. but we have done that." To take Civil Defence to the People it had been decided to divide the city into five areas and appoint assistant Citql Defence officers for each of those areas to be responsible for recruiting and training. The approval of the Home Secretary had been received and these appointments would rank for a 75 Per cent grant Hand-over To-day at Coventry Dispute Expected on Charge to City Formal handing over of Coventry's Civil Defence administration to the will take place to-day during the meeting at the Council House between the commission, the Lord Mayor and members of the council's Policy Advisory Committee. Ald.

S. Stringer. chairman of the Policy Advisory Committee. is expected to attend the meeting with Ald. Mrs.

P. M. Hyde. who was chairman of the Civil Defence ColnmiLtee, now disbanded. The council spckesmen are expected to oppose the amount which the Home Office has said the city can and will be made to pay for the commission's running of its Civil Defence organisation.

Without the charge for the commission. the Corporation facei bill for £20.003 this year. This Is the estimated full cost of Civil Defence for the year. When the council organised it a 75 per cent Government grant was given. Meanwhile two Coventry men, both Liberals, are organising a petition against the council's action in abandoning Civil Defence.

Mr. V. Delepine and Mr. C. Wilson hope to collect 100.000 signatures to prove that most of the electors do not sup- I port the council's decision.

Mr. Delepine. a former chairman of the West Midland Young Liberal Federation, told a reporter of The Birmingham Post last night that the city was lacking real leadership. The petition asks the council to reverse its decision and was being organised independent of any political party. METAL SPINNERS ARE REQUIRED BY LIVER METAL SPINNING CO.

ermine axes from middle August Thorne Park Rd Other Ciasstrted Adeerusensehie in Paves 2 and 3 Scope for Defence Dr. Arnott, presenting the Civil Defence report, said that defence must be considered from two aspects: preventive and curative. In prevention the first thing was evacuation of population, for which several extensive schemes had been worked out in detail. Schemes brought forward were to meet the atomic bomb: now the hydrogen bomb had come, with ten times the power of the atomic bomb. The effects of the hydrogen bomb were terrific, but there was no suggestion that we need lie down and say that all was finished.

"By no means." Dr. Arnott said. "We have plenty to consider which we I can do and which will be most useful. But do remember this. That' whatever kind of bomb you get you will have a periphery around the area of immediate destruction in which Civil Defence can come into its own, and in which, if it was not for Civil Defence.

there would be terrific, unnecessary loss of life. That is the point. If you will only remember have this area of severe destruction around total destruction, and that is where Civil Defence can play so big a part."
