FARM WALL 'Go-As-You-Please'

Australian Gaol

Melbourne, Oct. 18.

Victoria's State Government is trying to make up its mind how to keep prisoners in the near-century-old Pentridge Gaol and silence widespread criticism over the "go-as-you-please" | attitude of many inmates.

To make the prison "safe" and keep it where it is may involve scrapping its farm of 60 acres and changing the policy of Its administration.

Nairobi, Oct. 18. The Mau Mau terrorists are on the run, hungry and dsipirited, disorganised and almost entirely on the defensive, in the official view here.

After three years of bloody mutilation and massacre, the authorities here say Mau Mau in Kenya is dead as an active movement.
