THE BIRMINGHAM POST GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, HOUSE MORTGAGE 'DISCRIMINATION' Women Support M.P.'s Fight Representatives of Birmingham women's organisations yesterday came out strongly in support of Miss Elaine Burton. M.P. for Coventry South. who believes that there should be no discrimination against women who apply to building societies of mortgages supported by Government loans. Mrs.

Marjorie Mills. secretary of Birmingham Business and Professional Women's Club, said: "This discrimination is a lot of nonsense. I understand that it takes the form of a loan having to be guaranteed by a man. Woman on Stretcher in Hospital A woman who is in a rood job is entitled to a home of her own. she gets the appropriate salary she should not be subject for an Hour to this woman wants a home of her own and she should be able to get a mortgage more really than she can at present.

Miss Z. Koutaissoff, secretary of the Birmingham branch of the British of University Women. suggested that if Miss Burton brought specific instances, the Birmingham committee might well support any action against discrimination and seek the help of the national federation. A woman said at a Dudley inquest yesterday that her aunt was left on a stretcher in a hospital for an hour or more and she "thought the treatment meted out to her was dreadful." 19heWsIt Peaking at the resumed inquest on Mrs. Mary Jane Baker (89), of Northgate.

Brldgnorth, who died in Dudley Ouest Hospital on November 30 after being admitted there on November 28 with a broken leg. The niece. Mrs. Sybil Griffin. of Worcester Road, Droitwich, said that her aunt was in good health.

though getting frail. On November 27 she fell at her home and on November 28 she was taken to Bridgnorth Hospital. "I went to Brldgnorth to visit her. but she had gone from there to Wolverhampton. It would be about 1.30 p.m.

when I got there and she had left about 1 p.m., so I went on to Wolverhampton and got to the Royal Hospital about 120 p.m. When I went to the office to enquire about her, the young lady at the office looked at her books and said no patient of that name had been admitted. I told her that the patient had been brought from Bridgnorth. so the girl looked again, but again said that no one of that name had been admitted. "I said that in that case I would wait outside for some more ambulances to arrive, and I waited there for about an hour until about 3.30 p.m.

I then thought that something must be wrong and, thinking my aunt might have died in the ambulance on the way. went back to the office to enquire if she had been sent elsewhere. Miss M. Morris, Joint vicechairman of the Central Birmingham Boroptimists Club, said: I agree with Miss Burton. A woman who is in a reasonable job does not achieve that without she is capable of being responsible for her own commitments.

"Single women have as much desire for their own home as anyone else: they do not want to spend all their lives in bedsitters." Individual Consideration Miss Burton said in London yesterday: I tried unsuccessfully to raise the matter in the House of Commons last month. I have since received many letters of support. including several from women in the Midlands. I am awaiting a chance to air the matter again." Is then discrimination in Birmingham? Mr. 11.

J. Wilson. secretary of Birmingham and District Pdoperty Owners' Aasociation said he understood that discrimination did exist to the point of women being asked to supply a male guarantor when they Weight a mortgage. A spokesman for one of the largest building societies in the Midlands said that each cue was treated on it merits. When we receive aoplicattons from women In good tioidttons and everything ts equal we do not Insist on a male he said.

"The young lady then said to me. 'How old was the lady you were enquiring and I told her flg. The girl then said there was an old lady in the plaster room and I had better go along and see if it was her. I went along and saw her still on the stretcher on which she had obviously been brought from Bridgnorth. No Beds Driving Ban After Crossing Fatality Bernard Nock (39).

of Francis Street, West Bromwich. was fined £5 at the Staffordshire "They told me that they had no bed for her and she was going to be transferred to the Dudley Guest Hospital. My aunt had obviously been lying there for an hour or more, and I thought the treatment meted out to her was dreadful." Assizes yesterday and disqualified from driving for five years. He pleaded not guilty to causing the death of another man by dangerous driving. The prosecution said that as Mr.

Arthur Robert Barton. assistant secretary of a West Bromwich building society, was using a pedestrian crossing in the High Street, he was struck by Nock's van and died from his injuries. In an alleged statement. Nock said that Mr. Barton stepped from behind a stationary car parked about six feet from the crossing.

Mavis Tongue, senior house officer at the Royal Hospital, Wolverhampton, said that she saw Mrs. Baker when she arrived from Bridgnorth. She diagnosed a fractured right femur. The transfer had been arranged because the hospital at Bridgnorth did not have the facilities to treat the case. Dr.

Tongue said that there were no beds available at the Royal Hospital and. having Judged Mrs. Baker to be fit to travel, she tried to find a bed for her in another hospital in the area. If he had only looked to his right there would not have been an accident. Instead of that he just walked straight in front of me," he said.

He denied. in cross examination by Mr. Stephen Brown, prosecuting, that he was in such a hurry that he did not really take much notice of what was on the crossing The patient was transferred to Dudley Oust Hospital by The Coroner. Mr. W.

M. Wright: Mrs. Griffin mid that she called at the Royal Hospital and had the impression this lady was kept quite a long can only say that through the whole time at the Royal Hospital we were making efforts. We were actively engaged in getting Mrs. Baker transferred.

Wandering boy had 7 A 16-year-old boy, stopped by a policeman at Bagley while walking towards Kidderminster, was found to have more than £7 of stolen money in his pocket. it was stated at West Bromwich Juvenile Court yesterday. The boy was before the court for breaking out of a butcher's shop at Stone Cross after getting in through a window which had been left unfastened. and stealing He unbolted a door to get out. Asked by the Coroner the journeys from Brldgnorth to Wolverhampton and from Wolverhampton to Dudley had any material effect on the woman's death.

Dr. W. Whitelaw. pathologist, said he did not think It would help her condition, but he also did not think it accelerated her death. The cause of death was cerebral thrombosis and the secondary cause was a fracture of the neck of the right femur.

The Coroner, recording a verdict of "Death from natural causes," said: "I accept the evidence that these Journeys did not have a material effect on this woman's death." He was ordered to report at the Home Office attendance centre at SmethwlCk on four Saturday morning's. Mr. H. P. Kraus.

Jenkins told us was both mischievous and irrelevant." Mr. Jenkins spoke in support of the action ti.e.. strike) which the men had taken although the union which he represented had no members who were involved in the stoppage." Other trade union members of the National Joint Council are criticised without being named for failing to act as vigorously as they should to prevent an overtime ban being imposed and to curtail the disruptive activities of the shop stewards. Some surprise is expressed that the two trade unions with most members involved in the strike, the Amalgamated Engineering Union and the Transport and General Workers' Union, did not give their views to the court though they were present and could have done so. Aloof On the employers' side Sir Gerard d'Erlanger.

chairman of 8.0.A.C.. is criticised for not accepting an invitation to attend an important meeting Just before the strike began. The report says that proposals from the union aide that the chairmen of the two corporations be Invited to meet the council later In the same day were declined." "We think it unfortunate that the two chairmen declined this invitation and we can see no good reason for their appearance of aloofness," the report says. In critical situations of this nature the personal intervention of those in highest authority may do much to break down the acute tension which has developed between those who have been preoccupied with the regular negotiations. Had the two chairmen accepted the invitation nothing would have been lost and much would have been gained if their participation had strengthened the position of the more responsible members of the trade union side of the national joint council.

"In particular we think it singularly unfortunate that Sir Gerard d'Erlanger did not accept this formal invitation. bearing in mind that the strike was exclusively one of 8.0.A.C.'s employees, and that on the following day he had informal discussions with representatives of the trade union side." Undue Delay 8.0.A.C. is cleared of the two union allegations that there was undue delay in settling the wage claim, and that the threat to dismiss workers on October 13 was unjustified. accepting that the delay in settling the wage claim was unreasonable. suggests that the employers might have done more to make the reasons for the delay clearer to the workers and so remove causes for misunderstanding.

The 8.0.A.C.'s decision to dismiss certain men was not unreasonable the report says. however much it may have been regrettable." But the behaviour of 8.0.A.C.s employers was open to criticism during the strike, the report says. Two days after the strike had been declared there was a meeting of the National Joint Council at which the employers submitted certain proposals which were intended to emphasise the contractual obligations of their employees and at the same time to set limits to the activities of the shop stewards. These proposals were not accepted by the unions may well be argued that the proper time to make such proposals was after the strike was over, and not while it was still in progress. "But on the union's side a resolution was submitted as a basis on which the strike could be brought to an end We cannot but feel that it could have formed the basis of a resumption of work with or without amendment.

But it was not accepted." Politics The report contains a warning on the dangers of the intrusion of political issues into industrial relations. We and it difficult to resist the view." the report says. "that both Mr. Mikardo and Mr. Jenkins were taking advantage of the court's proceedings to ventilate, not for the first time, their political views and to obtrude those views unnecessarily into the context of the recent dispute.

feel that there is insufficient recognition among certain members of the trade union side that the intrusion of political issues into the field of industrial relations with the Possible use of industrial action to promote political ends is not comptaible with the develoP. ment of harmonious industriil relations and the smooth working of constitutional procedures." There is no mention in the conclusions of the court of the name of Mr. J. Matthews, the secretary of the trade union side of the National Joint Council. and industrial officer of the General and Municipal Workers' Union.

This is surprising in that Mr. Matthews tried frequently to prevent the strike or later shorten it. He was often at odds with his trade union colleagues. was booed by strikers at the airport and was persistent in pointing to Communist disruptive tactics. Within a Union' Last night, Mr.

Matthews' said that the court appeared to agree with him that some shop stewards had got so out of hand at the airport that there was "a union within a union" there, ignoring the advice of union officials. The court had agreed that the men were being misled by the shop problem that had already been brought out in the disputes at Briggs' and Smithfield. "It is quite clear that the unions themselves must get their own house in order," he said, and see that their elected shop stewards comply with the constitutions of their organisations as well as with those of joint bodies of unions and employees. "The majority of people at 8.0.A.C. have now realised that they were misled by the group.

whose activities are so rightly criticised by the court. My advice to the rank and file at London Airport is to see that the services of those shop stewards who are so clearly shown to be acting against the interests of their unions should be terminated at the first opportunity." and Gingerbread' at the Alexandra Theatre Playgoers' memories can be short. It is Important. I think, to realise that Lionel Hale, author of Gilt and Gingerbread at the Alexandra, is not only an essayist of serene poise, a former drama critic who could be witty without strain and stringent without malice, and an authoritative radio quizmaster. He is I repeat it is proved dramatist.

On Monday we welcomed back to the stage the author ofamong other Passed Through Lorraine. I emphasise that because it would be a pity for anyone to believe that Gilt and Gingerbread is Just what it is usual to call, horribly, a vehicle for John Clements and Kay Hammond. They are, as we know. artists of the nicest technique: Miss Hammond, with her hookah-voice (and how tired she must be of our attempts to describe it Mr. Clements with his gravely bewitched air, as of a strong man in the toils.

But Mr. Hale is here a vital member of trinity. His lines are witty in themselves: dialogue that is far more than a launching-platform for its speakers' improvisation. By Our Dramatic Critic J. C.

TREWIN this commodity, and it seems that the commodity does not exist. Miss Hammond is desolated, and it is always good to see and to hear her on these can give powerful comic significance to such isolated words as ham" and monster. Meantime, Mr. Clements is being richly distrarignt, rather like an elaborate portico by. say.

Wren, forced to believe that the bases of its pillars are crumbling, ing in the person of what a young writer once called brasnly "a terrible Judex of medieval Dies Ire." I am not making any prophecies. Gilt and Gingerbread may run for a year. or for a month. It may be called slight, outmoded, all the epithets heavily reserved for the lighter comedy. People may write about it as.

say Henry Arthur Jones did about The Cherry Orchard. But I hope they won't. For myself, I enjoy a comedy that is composed. acted, and directed tthe director is Harold trench) by People who know their business. If I am told that Mr.

Clements should not knock Miss Hammond down, I reply that it happens during an interval, and that Miss Hammond seems to appreciate the experience. If I am told that bailiffs are old friends. I reply that Mr. Hales reminiscences are always enriched from his own vein of fantasy. I can no longer see any reason in the universe." says Mr.

Clements. Well. let us be grateful for two hours of unreason, for turtle soup and finger-bowls at tea-time, for the grace-notes of Mr. Hale and the woodnotes wild of Miss Hammond. If you failed, or fail.

to laugh at all. I am sorry, but it is something I cannot help. We may agree next time. notice appeared In later editions yeaterday.j A sense of humour is a most personal gift. Everyone hates to be told he lacks it.

But what makes me laugh may leave my neighbour poker-faced. There are no rules. I cannot product a schedule to explain that Mr. Hale's comedy duly made me laugh under 18 specified heads. I can say simply that I laughed, went on doing it, and wished that 30 minutes had been added to the evening.

If I am asked dourly to explain. I find myself looking at the mercilessly-moving hands of the clock. Let me suggest. anyway, that for the second time in a few weeks we have met a genuinely urbane English light comedy. Mr.

Hale does not noticeably resent anything: he Is not carrying on his shoulder a carefully-designed chip. He is offering something like the poet's (and don't ask me which poet) "cascading coronals of foam." It me comedy that comes to us like the happy invention of a talker who enjoys the art. There Is not much of that kind 01 talk to-day: talk guided. moreover, by a dramatist's mind and projected by likeable and cunning technicians. It bubbles with amusing ideas, expanded with relish.

If you look bate over the comedy, you will observe that Its seeming irrelevances are calculated. Mr. Hale. shaping his bubbles, keeps his eve on them: he does not let them drift out of reach. The plot Is something about Patagonian uranium.

Mr. Clements. a stockbroker, has bought a great many shares in In and out of the summer rightly. Mr. Hale premises a world of constant such charming people as Nicholas Hannen.

a father and father-in-law (I am sure he made a very fine speech at that fashionable wedding. Bolderwood Yeyderi: Richard Briers as a Norfolk market- gardener's son, uneasy in the Patagonian saddle: Ralph Michael, who calls himself crisply, and with pleasure. a plain, blunt man: and Georgina Cookson, who Is neither plain nor blunt, but highly decorative: she has the least rewarding part. In one scene when Mr. Hales's Invention wavers a little.
