Big Problems For Officials

Manchester, Feb. 29, TRIAL early in March of Dr. Buck Ruxton,

of Lancaster, accused of murdering his thirty-five-year-old wife and Miss Mary Rogerson, his children's nursemaid, has set Manchester Assize officials several unusual problems.

In addition to making arrangements about hotel accommodation for the jurors, who will have to be kept in strict seclusion for possibly a fort- night, they hayo had to see to the rearrangement of the Crown Court; the provision of telophones for the use of reporters, and preparation of several ante-rooms to accommodate the crowd of witnesses and exceptional number of exhibitṣ. PERFECT SCALE MODEL

The exhibits range from photographs and bundles of women's clothes to a full-size bath and a perfect scale model, furniture included, of Dr. Ruxton's home in Dalton-square, Lancaster,

It is understood that one of the counsel to represent Dr. Ruxton at the trial will be Mr. J. Lustgar- ten, the Manchester barrister.

Mr. Justice Singleton, who is on circuit with Mr. Justice Rigby Swift, is likely to take the case.

A commissioner has been ap pointed so that the Ruxton enso will not hold up the other businces

of the assize.

Air Mail

Canberra, Feb. 15.

THE Commonwealth Government have rejected the British pro- posal that all mails handled by the England-Australia air-mail service should be carried without surcharge in flying boats.

The Government contend that;

while in some ways the proposal

is attractive, it is irreconcilable with the conditions and require- ments of Australia.

Mr. Lyons, the Prime Minister, announced to-day,that the Cabinet had decided to retain control of and responsibility for the Sydney to Singapore service.

They had advised Great Britain that they desired to retain the Burcharge for a further period of years. They suggested a reduc- tion to 6d. a half ounce from Sydney to London, and 5d. from London to Sydney when the ap popriate time came. Present

rates aro 1s. Od. and 1s. 3d.

If Great Britain should agree to those proposals the Common- wealthy would undertake 10 establish on accelerated biweekly service of high-speed · wircraft which would dater adequately for the increased traile. They hoped that this would coincide with a reorganisation of the British ser- vice to Singapore,

The Commonwealth beloved that this would be the best way to develop Australian aviation while at the same time providing an adequate overseas service.--- Reuter.

NEW AGREEMENT WITH WORKERS

Wellington, Mar. 2. An agreement between the Ministry of Public Works and the workers has

that employees should have a forty hour week, instead of forty-soven, and that workers on holiday should be on full pay.

Hr. Eden added: "At the same time, I think it fair to the Commitice that I should make it plain what is the view of His Majesty's Govern mont on the report of the experts on the oil embargo. The Government are prepared to accept any decision to which this Committee may come, but they must make it clear that, hav ing considered the findings of the ex-been signod, whereby It is agreed perts, they favour the imposition of an oil embargo by members of the League, and are prepared to join in any application of such sanctions if other principal, supplying and transporting States who are members of the League of Nations are prepared to do likewise."British Wirsicas.
