Strong police forces were strations called out in Khartoum little as rival street demonwere staged more than a day before Queen Elizabeth's arrival for a five-day State visit. Lorry loads of anti supporters, some armed with swords and knives, roamed the streets shouting slogans, which were answered by Government supporters.

Earlier yesterday, three parties, the Umma, National Unionists and Moslem Brothers, issued a statement accusing, the coalition Government of conspiring against democracy and trying to neglect elections due next April. They, demanded Government, resignawhich they claimed had moved far away from the principles of the October revolution. Information Minister (Mr. Khalfalla Babiker) issued a statement declaring the three parties a threat to the Government and warning the people to be alert.

The coalition Government was set up under Mr. Khalifa after the uprising last October, which WAS sparked off when police shot and killed a university student. Twenty-seven people died and over 100 were injured in the 10 days of clashes between civilians and police and armed forces. Protest Observers expected that any possible conflict would be postponed until after the Queen's visit. Meanwhile, in Ethiopia, the British Ambassador (Mr.

John Russell) protested to Ethiopian army authorities yesterday against the low flight of a spotter plane over the Queen as she took the salute of an honor guard on arrival at Asmara Airport. The single-engined aircraft swooped low to bomb the tarmac with flower petals. The local Ethiopian army commander, told Mr. Russell it was ordered to do so by Emperor Haile Selassie himself. An official of the Royal party telephoned the Ethiopian commander to say he had been instructed by the ambassador to protest over the flight.

On being told the plane had flown over on the Emperor's instructions, Royal party official said the ambassador would raise it with Haile Selassie when he met him later last night. The Queen today flies from Asmara to Aksum, the early Christian capital of Ethiopia.

She will see impressive architectural remains, ruins of temples and churches, tombs and palaces in what was once a big city. The Queen will lay a wreath at the Commonwealth war cemetery here, attend a service in the cathedral and tonight go to a State banquet. A quarter of a million people gave her a fantastic welcome at Asmara yesterday.

The Age, Monday, February 8, 1965 5 Wartime Thriller of D-Day A STARTLINGLY clever wartime thriller, 36 Hours, plays exciting spy games with the concept of amnesia. This black and white, wide screen film at the Bourke Street, is written and directed by George Seaton as a kind of successor to his Counterfeit Traitor.

The Germans conceive a cunning plan to hoax a captured American officer (James Garner) into revealing D-day landing secrets in 1944. Little more can fairly be revealed, except that the gimmick involves not SO much memory as loss of memory. Seaton aims at the pure entertainment spy-yarn, but as in Counterfeit Traitor, there are occasional suggestions of an attempt seriously to investigate questions like truth and falsity, guilt and conscience (represented by Eve Marie Saint a former Ravensbruck inmate forced into collaboration). She and the other main character, a German psychologist (Rod Taylor), who conceives believable the in scheme, motiva- are hardly tion or changes of attitude.

of dusty film history books appears a copy of Alexandrov's musical farce Jolly Fellows, more famous as The Jazz Comedy. This Soviet picture at the Australia is 31 years old. In techniques, fashions, trick photography, lighting and general awkwardness, it looks it. Yet there is more vitality, more visual gags and camera invention than we get in most of the polished musical affairs of today. Seen as a curiosity.

The Jazz Comedy still has intermittent surrealistic delights. Everyone and everything are brought into the act: a shepherd hero accompanied by bulls, goats and pigs, a slapstick jazz band (surely the forerunner of Spike Jones), syncopated tunes, a pretty love song and a ludicrous bourgeoisie to bear the brunt of the skitting. The film student will find it of greatest interest, noting the rough technical borrowings from Hollywood musicals of the time, also the influences of Chaplin, and Eisenstein's silent montage theories Senate Anomaly Worries D.L.P. MR. FRANK McMANUS who is likely to be elected to the Senate as a D.L.P.

The Jazz Comedy also created Russia's first nised star, Lyubov Orlovalater Mrs. Alexandrov. At the Australia, it is teamed on an enterprising double bill with a revival of Truffaut's Shoot the Pianist. THE nearest that Ladies Who Do (Grosvenor) comes to real wit is its title, a reference to London charwomen.

Still, this is an acceptably homely English comedy, telling how Coronation Street housewives, headed by the indomitable Peggy Mount, band together to foil the eviction plans of big business by speculating on the stock exchange. ANOTHER entertainer succumbs. One more maudlin saga of the bottle is disguised under an unlikely title (Your Cheatin' Heart), at the Metro, Collins Street.

The Sir Winston Churchill Memorial Trust appeal for the Toorak district was launched yesterday, the organisers expressing confidence in "a record response." The appeal chairman at Toorak (Sir Albert Coates) opened the appeal at the R.S.L. club rooms.

Sir Albert seen above giving the for victory sign after launching the branch's appeal. The appeal committee, working towards an unknown target, is still hopeful of raising more than any other area in Melbourne. The Toorak zone covers 18,000 homes and flats in one of the closest settled areas in Melbourne and the wealthiest. Immediately the appeal was launched, Sir Albert donated £50 and Mr. L.

J. Callaway, a member of Toorak R.S.L. subbranch, gave 1000. Expect Record Amount Albert said the memorial would be "carried on from decade to decade." Describing Sir Winston Churchill as ranking with the great men of British history, he said that in time to come our children might not remember. But this scholarship memorial would serve to remind them.

Sir Albert said the Toorak organisation was only part of a great, world -wide organisation. Young men from all walks of life would have an opportunity through the Trust to go abroad to learn and bring back Gunmen Kill Former Punjab Leader RASOI (Punjab), February 7. Four gunmen yesterday former Chief Minister of the Punjab, Sardar Pratap Singh Kairon, and three men travelling in a car with him. The gang stopped the car in this Punjab village, pointed guns through the windows and shot 63- year-old Sardar Kairon and his companions while horrified villagers watched on. Sardar Kairon was one of the nation's most controversial and feared politicians.

The "Mole" tunneling machine has set a world's speed record at Tasmania's Great Lake Power Development, Australia. In 27 days of underground excavation, the Mole burrowed 2,519 feet. Previous 27 day record was 2,317 feet. Each of the Mole's 34 hard rock disc cutters is equipped with two Timken tapered roller bearings.

Two large O.D. Timken bearings are used also to support the rotating cutterhead assembly, 16 feet in diameter. Mole's builder, James S. Robbins and Associates, Seattle, Washington, used Timken bearings because of their ability to take heavy combination loads and the extreme shock loads from striking very hard rock. You can't afford downtime on machinery costing nearly £220,000.

Breakdown of the two large bearings supporting the cutterhead assembly would require major repairs perhaps impossible in the confines of the tunnel.

Political It was India's biggest political murder since Mahatma Gandhi's assassination in 1948. Sardar Kairon was a Sikh who had risen from a poor peasant family.

He studied when young in America and later spent a term in gaol during the pre-Independence struggle. He became Chief Minister of the Punjab in 1956-the only Sikh to hold office. He resigned last June after. an inquiry commission had found that his family had enriched themselves during his eight years of office with his help. He recently came back into the political limelight with some controversial articles criticising Indian leaders.

It was partly to explain his position over these articles that he went to New Delhi and met Mr. Shastri. Students to be Studied Students in professional courses at several Australian universities will this year be subjected to searching sociological and psychological studies. The aim is to discover what kinds of person enter various professional courses: what factors are associated with success; what effect the training has on the outlook of students; and how and when students acquire the "personality" characteristic of their particular profession. Preliminary work has established that students enrolling in different courses differ in levels of matriculation results, social background and personal factors.

"Types" The investigators will try to And if any particular "types" of students exist who, apart from school performance, are specially suited or unsuited for the training they have chosen.
