for five minutes while the ground was cleared The chief architect of Australia's victory was the touring captain Richie Benaud who bowled superbly When the pitch began to take spin after lunch Lindsay Khne joined with Benaud to wreck any nope that India might have had of saving the match Benaud took five second-innings wickets for 76 and Kline four tor 42 Anticipating a spinner's pitch Benaud put himself on at the start yesterday with pace bowler Alan Davidson operating at the other end Though Benaud" Jeg-pinner kept both openers guessing his first success did not come until 15 minutes after lunch but once Contractor had been dislodged there was no stopping Australia Benaud eight for 76 By taking eight wickets for 76 in the match Benaud fully justified his position as the best leg-apinner

last over before tea Rov off-drove Kline for four to reach 99 Benaud made a psychological move by closing in to silly mid-on and sure enough Roy playing forward defensively presented the Australian captain with a sitter He defied the attack for just over five hours altogether and hit 14 boundaries All fight goes When Kline trapped Polly Umrigar to make half the side out for 187 all the fight

was ready to shoulder the responsibility of governing itself There is the urgent problem of evictions which are reported to be threatened to some hundreds of people now living in caravans says a Lobby Correspondent In view of this Sir Lionel Heald QC a former Attorney General is asking Mr Brooke to meet the first deputation before Christmas He will almost certainly do so Sir Lionel promised to do this at an all-party meeting over which he presided at the House of Commons last night Others who joined him in calling the meeting were Mr Fenner Brockway (Lab) and Mr Donald Wade (L) Representatives of the National Caravan Association raised as a matter of urgency the question of the threatened evictions Five points The meeting unanimously endorsed these points: That there should be early legislation to improve the position of caravan dwellers That a direction should be given to local authorities to make adequate provision for caravan sites That security of tenancy for both site holders and residents was an urgent need 4 That basic national standards were wanted for the structure of caravans the amenities on the sites and the conditions of tenancy and That a joint consultative council should be appointed representing the caravanning interests and local authorities to advise the Minister on these national standards promise In addition to the National Caravan Association also represented at the meeting were the National Caravan Council who make caravans and the Federation of Site Operators Associations who own the sites These three organisations agreed to meet and prepare the five demands in detail Then Mr Brooke will be asked to receive a second deputation in the New Year Consideration was given by the meeting to a promise which it was said Mr Brooke had given of legislation on caravans in this Parliamentary session Cartridge subsidy to end In a written answerMn the House of Commons yesterday to a question as to whether the rebate on cartridges

I do not consider that we should be justified in continuing it after the end of March Nevertheless we hope that ahootini mil continue to be used as a control measure and we are discussing with the agr cultural Interests concerned the possibility of extending the scope of grants to rabbit clearance societies to Include expenses incurred in shooting certan harmful birds such as wood Under the scheme

creditors of about £460000 and the assets of the company totalled just under £200000 Mr Haigh said that the company was formed in 1948 to finance hire purchase and was solvent until 1957 when the shares were transferred to the International Issue and Investment Bank and three new directors Mr Nathan Dorfman and his son Mr Harold Dorfman and Mr Harold Laub joined the company Invested There was £130000 payable for these shares and about £19000 was paid in caah the remainder being left invested in the company The new directors apparently made a practice of investing the money and up to March 1958 about £105000 was used for this purpose Later Mr Edwin Yates agreed tc pay £4 a share for the share held by the other directors and this had involved him in a book debt of about £250000 to the company which accounted for the bulk of the loss Both Mr Yates who was now seriously ill with anxiety neurosis and Mr Nathan Dorfman had been interviewed and investigations were continuing The meeting
