PARTIAL RESTORATION OF SALARIES. In tht Legislative Assembly yesterday the Premier Introduced the Public Service Salaries (Amendment) B1U, which affords relief to Crown employees in the lower grades. The bill, be explained, removed from ail married employees receiving under 206 a year the whole of tht deductioat mads under recent legislation. Provision was made for rebates on a graduated basis to married persona to counterbalance tne recent reaucuon in tne oasio wage. Details of the scheme art reported on page 9.

During the sitting the Dairy Products Bill. to continue the Paterson scheme under tht aegis of the Commonwealth, to provide for the control of interstate movements In butter and cheese by meant of licences, and to safeguard the Industry generally, was read the PUBLIC SERVICE SALARIES BILL. Tht Premier (Mr. Stevens) secured leavt to Introduce a bill to emend tht Public Ser vice Salaries (Amendment) Bui. In moving the second reading, he said that the object of the measure waa to afford a measure of relief to certain employees of the Crown in the lower gradea by reviewing the incidence of tht existing law.

After explaining the provisions of the existing Act, he said the bill amended tht present scale of reduction by Increasing the amount of the rebate to married employees, and by extend ing the scope of the provisions for rebate beyond the present limit of 2M per annum to a limit of per am. im The opera tions of the bill would affect approximately za.uoo crown employees and salaries of ne-tween 200 per annum and 33S per annum The Increased rebate would operate in such a way as to afford relief from the existing scale of -eductions at rates varying from 5 per annum up to 30 ner annum In cer tain cases. "The provisions contained In the Public Service Salaries Act." he proceeded, "are quite distinct from the variations applied to tne salaries or crown employees following upon living wage declarations by the Indus trial Commission. Fluctuations In the living wage have been consistently applied by all Governments to the Public Service since 1919. with the result that after making allowance for the most recent reduction.

Public ser vants genera. have an advantage of approximately 17 per year over the 1919 salary rates. in is uovemment noes not propose to disturb this practice. LOWER-GRADE MARRIED OFFICERS. "The Government is.

however, alive to the fact that the net salary at present payable to married officers in the lower grades It very much reduced, end, after giving very careful consideration to the whole matter, hat decided upon a scale of relief. "me Dill provides tnat rener to employees by way of increased rebate shall operate ns from the commencement of the first pay period applicable to the officer In the month of November, 1933. This will materially assist the employees who are most In need of relief, and many thousands will benefit. In view of the improvement In the finances some of the sections ot the service organisations do not consider that the proposed measure ot relief is sufficient. There it no doubt that the finances have Improved, and no one would be happier than mvself If the Improvement were great enough to warrant still further concessions.

Unfortunately, however, there la still need for the exercise of the utmost economy, and the Government has to con sider very carefully the effect on the finances of any concessions granted. PROGRESS TOWARDS RECOVERY "As a result of the measures that have been adopted we have made considerable progress towards recovery," added the Premier, "and it would be foolish to jeopardise the prospects of complete rehabilitation of the finances by affording relief to the Public servants through granting concessions beyond our present financial capacity. "I promised definitely that the salaries reduction legislation would not be kept on the Statute Book for one moment longer than waa absolutely necessary. That promise I now re affirm, Government regards the Public Service Salaries Act as a purely emergency measute. and as soon as the state of the finances permits will wipe It off the Statute Book.

Any one possessing an Intimate knowledge of the nnanciai position ox tne mate win, nowever. agree that the time for such action has not yet arrived, and the Government believes that the relief which this bill provides is the most effective that can be applied at the present MR. LANG OPPOSES BILL. The leader ot the Opposition (Mr. Lang) complained that members had not been given a proper opportunity oi examining tne oiu, and added that If sub-clause (d) ot clause 2 (which provided that the clause should not operate to entitle an officer to payment of a salary In excess of that payable If the section nao not oeen enacteai meant anyuiing, it meant that the whole bill waa a lie.

and was a deception to the House and to the public generally. The Government waa humbugging and defrauding the Public Service. It would continue to deduct the basic wage reductions. Mr. Baddeley said ne wanted a total restora tion of all the Public Service salary cuts.

There were some adult employees In the Public service wno received less uian tne paste wage. The premier: do you mean to say tne public Service Board would allow that? Mr Baddeley sale be would supply the names of the employees he had referred to. The Government Whip (Mr. Bhand) moved the closure, which wat agreed to by 41 votes to 19. The Premier, in reply, quoted "Hansard" to show that he had promised to bring down legislation before the Christmas recess.

He suggested that Mr. Lang owed It to himself to tell tne House that he nad misinformed tt on the matter. The second reading was agreed to by 41 votes to in. DESERTED WTVE8. In committee, on clause 3, Mr.

Clyne urged that provision should be made in the measure for deserted wives as well as for single em ployees with dependents. In ordinary times mere were many members oi tne service wno had others depending upon them, but in these times of economic stress the numbers had in-created. He moved an amendment to Include In tub-section 3 of clause 3 the words "deserted wife with dependent children or tnoti nffleer with dependents." Mr. Shannon Interjected, and the chairman named him "for the second time." Mr. Shannon: Not this sitting, Mr.

Tht Minister for Agriculture (Mr. Main) soiarht leavt to lntroduct tht Dairy Products Bill, which, he said, wat complementary legislation to bt enacted by tht Federal Parliament before It went into recess until next year. It bad been dec load that tbt system likely to bt tbt most efneaciout to meet the needs ot tne industry would be tht fixation of a auota which wat to bt tbt maximum which might bt told locally, tbt balance to be sold overseas.

Tne Governments of Vic toria and Queensland had already Introduced their bills, and Tasmania had bill in course of preparation. Each bad been adopted from tht original draft prepared In thlt State, and Ihey were uniform in principle, though Ing slightly in detail. The scheme required supplementary Commonwealth legislation to provide for the control of tbt Interstate movements in butter and cheese by means of licences, and the Commonwealth Government had been asked to pass this legislation. The Act was to remain in force for three years. The leader of the Opposition (Mr.

Lang) said tht production of butter wat not increasing in New South Wales, but population was, and. consequently, consumption waa becoming greater. Leave to Introduce wat (ranted, and the bill wat circulated. THE HOME CONSUMPTION. In moving the second reading of tht bin, Mr.

Main said that It would prohibit a buttei manufacturer from telling more then a certain percentage of his product on the home market the balance would have to be exported. The percentage or quota to be fixed would be based upon the needs of the local consumers. Boards would be set up by each Stat, and each State would fix the same quota after consultation with other boards. uairy farmers producing 101b or less of butter week would not be affected by the legislation. Separate quotas would be fixed for butter and cheese, and might be varied from time to time.

Any manufacturer who told more than the quota of the dairy products manufactured by him would be liable to a penalty not exceeding csoo. The penalty wat fixed at a high figure, because It it was nominal. It would pay some producers to Ignore It It was Intended to interfere at little as possible with present trade channels, and arrangements might be made by which manufacturers could oversell their quota, subject to certain conditions. Mr. Main said the board would consist of seven members, and positions would be honorary.

One member would be nominated by the Minister, two by the nronrletanr butter and cheese factories, two by the co-operative uutter ana cneese lactones, ana two of lot nuiisrj x-ruaucers union. Mr uing: There will be no caniunun1 re presentative? Mr. Main: The consumers' representative will be nominated by the Minister. (Opposition laughter.) The Minister said that manufacturers would oe required to pay a fixed turn at a contrl- ouuon to tne expenses of the board. The onara mignt call for return and information from persona having more than a specified quantity of dairy produce, and It misht in spect, or cause to be Inspected, books, accounts, nu uueumenia reiaung to dairy produce transactions.

When tha butter h. rr. ported reached the border of a State It would come under the control of the Federal administration. Mr. Da vies said the bill wat necessary, but tuav uicre snouia oe a consumers' representative on the board.

MELBOURNE. Thursday. Archblshon Head, in the current Issue of the "Church of England Messenger," explains why ne join pa in a joint letter oi protest concerning the proposed Roman Catholic Euchar. istic procession aunng tne uenienary cejeora- tiona. The writers, he stated, held that the public streets of Melbourne were not the place for religious procession, which would cause aimcuities to some Christian citizens, who might regard the act of adoration required as being idolatrous.

Religious toleration left Christians free to worship in their churches, but in i nubile ttreet the cltlsen was faced with ser vice at which he waa inevitably participant, even if only an onlooker.

"When our adversaries say we have departed from the unity of the Catholic Dean Talbot said, "they imply that theirs only Is the Catholic Church, but if wo are schismatics because we have left them, what shall they be called who have forsaken the Easterns from whom they received their faith? To the charge that the reformer' doctrines are new, we reply that they are as old at tht Scriptures. We have brought back religion to her original and Just state. We hava left the Church of Rome only as It it now, and not at it was of old time." WOMAN ON ROOF. Rescued by Constable.

COMMUNAL KITCHEN. Experiment on H.M.S. Rodney. An experiment tried out In H.M.8. Rodney may herald a minor revolution In naval economics, says the London "Dally Telegraph." It hat been the custom hitherto in H.M.

ships for meals to be prepared separately for the wardroom, the gunroom (where midshipmen and cadets mess), and the warrant officers' mess, end thlt hat involved much duplication of galleys, pantries, and stores. There baa recently been introduced in the Rodney general messing system for officers, under which wardroom, gunroom, and warrant officers' mesa are catered for on exactly the same scale, the meals In all three meases being identical. The system appears to bt working well. Wardroom officers find It mora economical than the old system of separate catering. It Is understood that the warrant officers view the scheme with favour.

It remains to be seen whether tht system will extend through out the Navy, as genera messing tor the lower deck hat done in all but a few ships to which, for structural reasons, it It not applicable The standard of Navy cooking hat unproved out of recognition tn recent years, thanks In fiart to tht more careful training of cook rat-ngs and in part to tht provision of up-to-date oil-fired or electrical galleys and bakeries.

PAGE SPEECH. When moving the adjournment. Dr. Page (aid that the present electoral system in Australia had been devised as a stop-gap In the Constitution until Parliament could Introduce a better method. The recent census figures showed that South Australia would gel only six representatives witn sti.sus electors.

whereas Western Australia and Tasmania together, with 353.000 electors, would have 10 seats. The South Australian quota for each electorate was approximately ST ,000. This was 4000 more than the ouota In New South Wales or Victoria. 5000 more then In Queensland. 11.000 more than In Western Australia.

and 32.000 more than In Tasmania. To alter this unsatisfactory nosltlon. Dr. Page, the system of arriving at the quota should be altered. It should be found by dividing the number of the electors by one more than the number of seats to be filled by 73 Instead of by 72.

The effect would be that South Australia would retain Its present number of seats and New South Wales would gam one. "There should be a lower quota for country electorates. Decs use or the aimcuitiet of communication In large areas." Dr. Page declared "In 1901. there were 25 city seats and 60 country seats.

To-day there are 37 city and 38 country seats, and each redistribution makes uie position relatively worse." The leader of the Opposition (Mr. Scullln) said a matter of such Importance should not be debated at such short notice. He suggested the appointment of a small committee of members to go Into Dr. Page's suggestions. Mr.

Rosevear (State N.8.W.) We will have nothing to do with the gerrymandering of electorates. COMMITTEE INQUIRY. The Minister for Health (Mr. Marr), on behalf of the Ministry, accepted Mr. Scullln's suggestion.

The committee, be said, could confer with officials of the electoral office and make a report to the House. Mr. Paterson (U.C.P., Vic.) said that the Country party proposed that an extra seat should be given to a residue of one-quarter of the quota only in the case of States with less than 10 members. The Commission which would shortly redistribute electorates should make the margins of population between city and country electorates as generous as possible. Mr.

Ward (State said that his party would loin the proposed committee, but it was suspicious of Country party moves that might be to the detriment of Labour. He opposed any big difference between country and city electorates. "In Victoria." he said, "they have so gerrymandered the seats that it Is Impossible for the Labour party to get a majority In the State House." The motion for the adjournment of the Auiue was negauvea on uie voices. TOBACCO INDUSTRY. The Federal Government's tobacco policy was warmly criticised by Mr.

V. C. Thompson (U.C.P. N.S.W.), when the discussion on the Estimates was resumed. "The 20.000 which the Ministry has set part for tobacco research and Instruction might be thrown Into the Molonglo River for all the use it will be to the Industry," he said.

"The Government seems prepared to do everything for the industry except the one thing likely to be of use to It the provision of a market." The only action likely to help the growers would be the virtual exclusion of American tobacco from Australia. The Excise on Australia! leaf should be lowered to force manufacturers to use more nf It Rwrnla wuiiri buy it If It was sold cheaper than American tobacco Mr. Maxwell (U.A.P., Vic): Do you suggest that people should be forced to smoke Aus tralian IODBCC07 Mr. Thompson! No. If you make the price margin In favour of the Australian product people will go for It.

Mr Thompson added that half of the leaf now grown In Australia was left to rot simply because one big manufacturer, who had 00 per cent of the Australian market, had decided that he did not want the tobacco. Unless it took swift action the Government would Cid murdered primary Industry on its hands at uie next election. OIL FROM COAL. Mr. Marr outlined the steps being taken to encourage the production ot oil from coal and shale.

He said that Imperial Chemical Industries, was anxious to give full assistance In establishing a large-scale hvdrosena- tlon plant In Australia. Further experts of the company were on tneir way to Australia. The company, however, desired six months' experience In running Its own nlant in England a similar plant In Australia would cost about 10,000.000. It was expected that a large-scale shale oil plant at the Newnes shale field would be capable of producing from 5.000.000 to iu.uuu.ouo gallons of petrol year. No action couia ne taxen until the report of the Newnes Investigation committee was available At 12.35 a.m.

'Drink More Milk" Campaign. HANDLING DEMONSTRATION. The "drink more milk" campaign ted with Health Week attracted large num ber of visitors yesterday to the depot of the Fresh Food and Ice Harbour-street, where demonstration of modern milk band- ling under hygienic conditions aroused much Interest. The Minister for Justice (Mr. Martin), who said he had been tent to the function as the only dairy farmer in the Ministry, praised the virtues of North Coast milk, which, owing to the vagaries of political action, was, he said, only known to the people of Sydney In Its converted form of butter.

'Our butter it so good," he added, "that tht great bulk of it is consumed In New 8outh Wales. But tht farmers who supply you with milk get more than twice at much for their milk at wt do for cur butter." Dr. J. 6. Purdy (chief city health officer) stated that 50,000 gallons of milk were brought Into Sydney dally.

The consumption per capita did not exceed half a pint a day. RACIAL HYGIENE. The conference of the Racial Hygiene As sociation was opened by the Honorary Min ister (Mr. Hawkins), at the Y.W.C.A. Hall, Liverpool-street, yesterday.

Mr. Victor Roberts presided. In an address on Tht Defective Child, Dr. Phillips said that the feeble-minded child was simply the inefficient tall-end of the whole child population. There was no definite line between the two.

Outside intel lectual pursuits, some defectives were above norma, and by no means social Inefficient. A greater danger than tne Intellectual de fective was the emotional defective. Of the children ot school age It could be ssid that roughly one In every 100 was in danger of becoming a social Inefficient. That was a conservative estimate, because a large number or oeiecnve cnuaren never entered tne schools. For seven years he had made a practice each year of Inviting the parents of 300 backward school children to discuss with him what mignt be done to educate them, but only 5 per cent, of the parents accented the invi tation.

The only effective way of educating mentally defective children was to remove tnem irorr tneir environment to a aneeiai residential school where thry would be taught to do things for themselves. Canon Hammond said that there were five classes from which the community might rightly protect itself: The mentally, diseased (who numbered about three tlm.it m.nv as 60 years ago) the mentally wno were unable to protect themselves, but fullv able to reproduce their kind: the emotionally unstable: the nhvslcallv unfit with tr.n cm it- table diseases: and the criminal pervert.

Byaney consumed 33.000,000 gallons of milk annually, or only half a pint per head per day. Yet It had been demonstrated that the addition of pint ot milk to the dally diet Increased weight and height, and was particularly valuable in eases of mal-nutrltlon.

The Milk Board invited the support of the public in assisting it to ootain an increase in tne consumption ot milk PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND DENTAL ADVICE. strong criticism of the authorities of tome private schools in the metropolitan area was expressed by a representative of the New South Wales branch of the Australian Dental Association in a broadcast address Isst night.
