TELEVISED AUCTION
Fund-Raisers Tricked (N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) AMSTERDAM, May 15. Telephone callers last week tricked organisers of a televised art auction in Amsterdam into believing they had raised at least 400,000 guilders for the London-based Defence and Aid Fund for the Victims of Apartheid, Later the organisers halved their estimate after they had checked with several . big firms and found they knew nothing of money offers made on their behalf. Callers quoted as donors a grocery chain store, a big general store, a key factory and a big shipping firm. Dutch artists had given their works free for the auction.

A woman in her thirties in the Waimairi County had infective hepatitis, and two men had pulmonary tuberculosis.
