RHKDF POSTING
Appears Before Compulsory Service Tribunal
His inability to spare the necessary time, owing to the nature of his work and the fact that he was also teaching in the Technical College and.. studying Cantonese, was stressed by John Tipping, Building Inspector of the Public Works Department, in support of his objection to being posted. to the Royal Hongkong Defence Force, when he appeared before a Com- pulsory Service Tribunal convened in the Supreme Court this morning.
After hearing evidence from both sides, the Tribunal dismissed the

appeal
Tipping said he wished to be posted to the Essential Services Corps. He declared that if he was placed in the Defence Force, it would endanger his future career and welfare of his family, and he might also "suffer a nervous breakdown."
It was suggested by Crown Counsel, who appeared on behalf of the Director of Manpower, that Tipping's objection to serving in the Defence Force was his hatred for the Army and the wearing of uniform. Tipping agreed, but declared this was not his main objection.
Tipping called the Hon. T. L.,responsibility to attend to Bowring, Director of Public Works, and Mr J. H. Bottomley, Chlef Building Surveyor, PWD, ic testify on his behalf.
