May 30. Two children suffered facial burns when a torch battery thrown beneath the grating of an open fire exploded, squirting a tar-like substance over them. The 18-month-o!d baby of Air and Mrs H. A. Cooper, of Dalrymple road, put the battery in the fireplace about 6.20 p.m. yesterday. The baby and Mr Cooper’s six-year-old son, some feet from the fire, were splashed losing his wicket to a yVhen New Zealand followed on with a depressing deficit of 319 there was welcome pugnacity in the batting. But with the loss of four wickets for 215 runs by the close of play, saving the match is still an immense task. Not all the disasters were in the defeat of batsmen. In the first innings Sutcliffe, ducking to a ball from Trueman, was struck heavily on rank bad shot. he right ear and had to retire. He returned just bebre lunch but could not continue after the interval and vent back to the hotel with headache. There was a second mishap n the second innings. Congdon and Dowling were giving a fine display and had reached 63 without loss when Congdon, making a vigorous sweep shot at a loose ball from the leg-spinner. Barber, slipped and the ball struck him on the top lip which was cut. He also had to retire and although he returned an hour ater, the strong batting thread had been broken. Sinfiair and Dowling had been iismissed and Congdon himelf departed after adding 14 runs. So. although it was a relatively minor mishap, it undoubtedly had a profound effect on the New Zealand second innings. Until it occurred, Congdon had met he challenge of Titmus. Engand’s most damaging bowler earlier, with resource and skill. Sutcliffe’s injury was ill tick for a struggling team but it probably had little practical effect on the course of the game. Even Sutcliffe at iis best could hardly have arrested New Zealand’s swift decline.

Press Association; ' WELLINGTON, May 30. The Wellington Publishing Company, Ltd., announced tonight its intention to withdraw its notice of take-over for Truth, N.Z., Ltd. The notice was delivered to the directors of Truth on May 17. The Wellington Publishing Company then gave notice of its intention to pay 65s for cent to make a 10.5 per cent dividend for the year At that stage. Air Dunn said: “We said that we would make a recommendation on a final dividend in due course. We have simply done that and as far as I'm concerned, to hell with the Wellington Publishing Company.” Co: imenting tonight on the withdrawal, Mr Dunn said: “The withdrawal of the offer is an indication that it was never a genuine one.” Mr Dunn said he had had reason to believe that the Wellington Publishing Company’s take-over bid could not succeed because of “certain defects.” “The question was whether they (the Wellington Publishing Company) could see those defects,” he said. Mr Dunn said the withdrawal of the take-over offer would not affect Truth's plans to bring out a Sunday news-1 paper next week-end. Wellington's first Sunday newspaper was on the streets today with a free, 80-page introduction copy. In an editorial, the “Sundry Times” promised its readers to be independent and “brave and vigorous in the pursuit of facts that should be brought into the open,” The editorial also said production has been hurried “somewhat madly, because certain competitors are bent on entering the field." The masthead o< the new paper was the name “Dominion” in large type, overlaid with a smaller bold face of “The N.Z. Sunday Times.” The paper is tabloid size. The lead story on the front page was a by-lined article by Frederick Symes on preparations at the Papakura Military Camp for the disembarkation of the 161st Battery of the 16th Field Regiment for Vietnam. Comment On the second page were comments by leading Wellington citizens on the paper. The former leader of the Opposition (Mr Nash) was quoted as saying: “1 have been getting a Sunday paper sent :o me from Britain for a long time and I certainly see no objection to having one of our own.” The Primate of New Zeaand (Archbishop N. A. Lesser) said: “I can see no harm in a Sunday newspaper. It won’t affect religious activity. If the Church is alive enough, people will go anyway.” The initial press run for the “Times” was more than 180,000 copies. Of these, 100,000 copies were delivered to homes in the Wellington area. The “Sunday Times” will sell at 6d. splashed into their eyes, but their sight was not affected. Maori In Schools (N.Z. Press Association) HASTINGS, May 30. The Assistant-Secretary of Maori Affairs (Mr C. Al. Bennett) said on Friday night he hoped to see Maori taught in all New Zealand’s schools in his lifetime. Addressing a meeting of Maoris and Europeans at Waipatu near Hastings, Mr Bennett said the best way to achieve understanding and harmony between two peoples was for there to be a common understanding of each other’s language. Mr Bennett said one of the troubles of the Maori race was that only its shortcomings and failures were made public. “We hear of too many Maoris in prison and not enough in getting through university,” he said. Mr Bennett said information about Maori crime was easy to get hold of and was widely circulated. “But we forget these are the extremes and that dead centre there is a big forward movement on the part of the Maori people.” he said. Yesterday’s distresses came after New Zealand had fought its way through a bleak and bitter second day on Friday with admirable purpose and considerable success. Barrington and Cowdrey added 68 to the overnight score of three for 232 before they were separated and the last pair scored 41, but New Zealand captured England’s reluctant turf, although Barber's eg breaks sometimes went a iong way. Trueman looked anything byt menacing once the ball was on the way down the pitch but as a character actor tie iis sti'll without peer. A perfectly sound shot from the middle of the bat can produce from Trueman denunciation of all the cricketing gods and any others who might be listening-in. And it is sad to think this may be his last test, for, unless he gets among New Zealand’s batsmen on Monday morning, it is hard to imagine him retaining his place. Titmus gave a fine display of accurate slow-medium bowling. He has a gentile outswing and the ability to straighten the ball or bring it back, and he has an Reid at something like his best. As soon as he came in he hit Barber magnificently for 6 over square leg and pulled the next one for four. They were clean, well-timed blows. After tea he continued to bat aggressively but thoughtfully until quite unexpectedly he lifted an on-drive straight to Barrington deep towards the fence. Dowling had gone at 105, bowled by a good one from Barber while on the forward stroke, and Reid left at 131. Congdon did not bat much longer but Morgan and Dick in 56 minutes added 70 with highly attractive batting. Each had a life but Dick, in particular, thrashed Barrington during a five-over spell, making a succession of fierce pulls and forcing shots off the back foot. each of the ordinary shares in Truth. On May 25, the chairman of directors of Truth, Mr J. H. FERTILISER AT last seven wickets for 203 more runs and when gloomy light ended play half-an-hour early had scored 59 for one excellent command of length and direction, particularly when he can get the batsmen on to the back foot. Titmus 4 For 18 It was the reluctance of the New Zealanders to attack him intelligently which brought him such astonishing figures—four for 18 from 26 overs. Cartwright is an Interesting bowler in an academic sort of way. He also is a master of length and direction. He bowls inswingers at medium pace but every now and then one goes the other way quite sharply. So far he has played only a minor part in proceedings. Barber, like all but the best of legbreak bowlers, sent down some rough ones but there were some beautifully flighted and well directed spinners among them. But it was a different story in the second innings which began some 13 minutes after lunch. It had been proposed that Sutcliffe should bat on, but the decision to rest him came at the end of the lunch interval, so there was the business New Zealand may yet set England some sort of target—but not if the remaining batsmen revert to the timid outlook of the first innings. Dunn, said he and his fellow directors had advised shareholders to reject the Wellington Publishing Company’s offer. He termed the offer “inadequate" and said the directors would not sell their shares. Truth recently acquired A D. Organ, Ltd., publishers of the Auckland “Sunday News,” and has announced the publication of the “News” in both Auckland and Wellington. The first publication in Wellington is expected to be next week-end. SUNDAY PAPER The Wellington Publishing Company began publication of its Sunday newspaper, the “New Zealand Sunday Times.” today. Last week the directors of Truth recommended a final ordinary dividend of 7.3 per SEAD (New Zealand Pt TI A fertiliser wor Seadown, seven mil April 1, 1967.

For England, Barrington achieved a century it will be an embarrassment for him to remember because of his painful and strokeless progress; and for New Zealand. Motz with extraordinary stamina and resolution, took five wickets in a test innings for the first time. Reluctant Batsman After the dismissal of Cowdrey, for 85, and Smith, for a duck, a reluctant Barrington was persuaded to become absolutely paralytic. For 63 minutes or 20 overs, he did not score a run although at the other end Parks attacked merrily with some fine, free-swinging shots which brought him 34 runs in 28 minutes. Barrington did his team no 1 great service by crawling to i his century in six hours and ! a quarter—39 in three hours ! on Friday. It was his thirteenth century and perhaps that had something to do with it. Once in three figures Barrington thrashed away happily and in Rumsey he had a willing and surprisingly able partner in a stand of 41 which set a new English tenth-wicket record against New Zealand. Challenges Report Mr S. A. Whitehead (Opp., Nelson) has taken exception to a report by the Parliamentary reporter of “The Press” on the debate in the House on Friday on sending New Zealand troops to Vietnam. Air Whitehead says: “I take strong exception to the way ‘The Press’ has today reported part of my speech in the House yesterday. The part I object to is ‘it was the way in which the decision was made, rather than the decision itself which had antagonised the Opposition.’ “I did not at any time, and 1 have my uncorrected Hansard proof with me, say or imply that we did not object to the decision itself. We strenuously objected to both the decision and the way it was made. “However, I did say specifically in reply to the previous speaker, Air Hanan, who had challenged the next Labour speaker to state whether the Labour Party would support or sabotage the decision, that 'once the decision is made by the House it will be supported from this side of the House.’ “We do not agree with the decision to send troops but once Parliament has decided to do so we will certainly not South Island Fertiliser Company, plans to build a farmerowned and co-operative works near Timaru. “The proposed co-operative fertiliser works for South Canterbury does not rTect the plans to build a works at Seadown,” Sir Carl Smith said in a statement. “The contract for the main buildings has been given to Downer and Company, and the target date which has been set for the opening is April 1, 1967.” Sir Carl Smith said that in his annual statement to shareholders in 1-962 he announced that negotiations were in Hancox To Attempt of rolling and sweeping before New Zealand went in again.
