LOOK FOR

A NEW LEADER

By H. King Wood

Sydney, Aug. 20.

Both our Federal and State political scene has been full of interest this last week and it would not be surprising if the repercussions which follow in the near future are not pretty sweeping.

In New South Wales the Cahill Labour Government has decided to hold a referendum in November on the closing hour of hotels. The people will be asked if they want hotels to close at 6 p.m. (as at present) or 10 p.m.

That in itself isn't so bad, but the Government has face was said that clubs will also have to close at the same hours written a good deal of unhapitas hotels-and that has raised a storm.

DEATH OF AN ACTRESS

Sheaffers "SNORKEL"

Allegedly Told Friend He Was A Black-Market Doctor

A man told the Criminal Sessions this morning that he introduced Lo Ko, unregistered doctor, accused of murder to Ng Sui-ping, a film actress who allegedly died of an abortion later.

The witness was Wong Yuk-fong, of 578 Nathan Road, first floor, who described himself as a former medical officer in the Canton Police and laber in the Chinese Army.

Yesterday, it was stated in the Crown's opening that Wong and another man, Lee Kee-yuen, both of whom were originally implicated in the matter, had since been granted the Queen's Pardon.

The accused are Lo Ko, alias Law Hor, 44, and his daughter, Law Kin-lin aged 17. They are on trial before Mr Justico
