THE OBSERVER WEEKEND REVIEW, MARCH 17, 1M 1 Cookstrfp SI AN INDUSTRY'S REPLY THE MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE LEARNING MORE ABOUT ADOPTED CHILDREN LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Z3 parent is without being brought up by him. The Ungoed-Thomas case may have done some good if adoption agencies (public, voluntary and private) consider how the child's right to this knowledge can be safeguarded, even at some inconvenience, to his original and his adoptive parents, should his mental health require it. Our adopted daughter will never have this vacuum to face because we are in a position to tell her who her blood parents are. This involves risks for us and them but living involves risks. N.W.3.

Caroline Nicholson Island visitors Sir, The Isles of Scilly need have no doubts, as Ann Taylor suggests (March 6), about a landing tax frightening away day visitorsi Sark's yearly 40,000 visitors gladly pay Is. first levied back in 1927. This revenue, plus some 14,000 produced by a small duty on drinks and cigarettes, supports every need of local expenditure in this island- Thus we do not require income tax, rates, death duties. Three paid officials end voluntary committees administer our self-governing democracy. But don't have -any illusions that a landing tax, small or big, can he used to stop the daily invaders.

We know it just won't. Continual rises in a landing tax would merely provide an embarrassing surplus in the Budget. Education Harbours Roads Amenities? Health? On what do you spend money after all these are in order 7 Maybe the answer is in having enough barriers for visitors to overcome. Our natural hazards include a murderous walk up a steep hill, men a scramble down to rocky bays. But we have craftily added a ban on Sunday trippers, have no airstrip, no caravans, no golf or tennis, no entertainments, no public transport, no cars and wide building restrictions.

Many other British writers are just as lucky their books have also been eagerly welcomed in the Soviet Union, some more than mine.

W. Heason, who in his last Sunday's Setter urges churchmen and theologians to take "account of "the growing interest in magic as brought out in The Obsf.rv er Colour Magazine," completely reverses the truth in his diagnosis of this phenomenon, and i.s thereby led to hand out some extremely dangerous advice. He contends that people have a Btrong inbuilt desire for mystery and magic, because without the quest the unknown, the dynamic of life ii -elf dies away." Bui the truth is that the practitioners of magic. 1'ortune-ici Img, appeal to ihe very opposite human impulse the impulse T'- to find quick and easy answers 'he mysteries of the universe. he one respect in which ve can a assert that modern culture is aduit.

where even the greatest cultures el i li-c past were childish, is that the n-oucri world recognises the painful that there are no easy answers. Modern science is distinguished from Traditional magic in acknowledging that the onJy way of penetrating the mysteries of nature is hy long, mmutey detai led and often ver drcarv experimental ttudy. perhaps sirctching over several generations, comhjned wiih lots of hard wurk by eleve- analytical brains. This is a truth that many people find ii very hard to live with, and they turn to magic nnr. as Vtr Heason sug-because it offers a cerise of mwery.

but for precisely the opposite reason because it seems to offer short cuis based on the supposed authority o1 "tradiiion" and theories thaU for al- their mysiical character, are relatively easy to grasp. The modern theologians whom Mr Heason condemns for trying to eliminate certain mysteries from Christianity in order to present tha cnt-and-dried case that they would seem to think is now necessary, are realty trying to do something much different. They are trying to come to terms with the realistic and experimental spirit of the scientific age, which involves, amongst other things, recognising how often so-called of revelation or meta-phyMcal reasoning is based on nothing more ihan rationalisation. To suggest that they be seduced from th'ts task 10 meet the kind of hunger for magic revealed in your excellent Colour Magazine articles is equivalent to suggesting that they should open thctr churches for the sale of pep pills or maripuana on the ground that an important section of the public evidently desires these comforts.

It is often assumed that the important difference between the present generally accepted view of the heavens end that of former ages lies in the contrast between our own knowledge of interstellar space and the old belief in the crystal Urne spheres. If that were the point at. issue it was settled long CJIR, Your March 13 article.

-The Great Chemical Plant Scandal," is one more shot in the deafening barrage aimed at the poor British fabricator who supplies the chemical industry with plant and equipment. Mr Baro bridge pointed to the feast and famine aspect of a fabricator's problems, but the number of day-to-day difficulties, the solution of which appears to be quite outside fabricators' power, is legion. He has to cope with the virtual nonexistence of trained professional managers (due mainly to the low social status and poor growth record of manufacturing engineering), a desperate shortage of technicians and skilled workers, a negligible intake of promising young men. restrictive practices by trade unions, a multiplicity of time-consuming inspection routines, and frequent over-iato changes of mind by his customer. Lengthy deliveries by fabricators and failure to meet delivery promises are becoming more general at this particular time, but the fabricating industry is certainly not complacent about this and is doing all it can to improve its performance.

Today's deliveries and standards of reliability are stifl far better man were general in the early fifties. It is true that too many fabricating companies are fecks-of-all-trades and that specialisation and rationalisation of the industry are long overdue. Fabricators are giving serious thought, and in some oases effective action, to and to the creation of specialist workshops. The best service that anyone -can do at the moment is to foster cooperation between the fabricating industry and the chemical manufacturers, mutual understanding and a recognition of the other man's difficulties. The industry is ready and anxious to put its house in order, but it cannot forget that on mo present-day figures pf supply and demand the latter exceeds the former teHBd II AL BURRO TPffTfO rIOt bOWl wim 4-5oz.

We believe efforts must be co-ordinated, and that political pressure must be applied to make our governors realise that these problems take precedence over all political problems.

L. W. H. Rea, Chairman, Tank and industrial S.W.7. Plant Association.

Sir, Your March 3 article Tha Great Chemical Plant Scandal demands an objective reply. What are the facts? The chemical industry is seeking to spend 230 million p.a. on equipment 50 per cent more than 1964 and 100 per cent above 1963, when sections of our industry were desperately short of, work and much skilled labour was irretrievably lost, especially by the major fabricators. feast and famine," unhealthy for any industry, are disastrous for engineering, so heavily dependent on skilled labour Installing a chemical plant involves many phases. Project investigation, tendering, laying contracts, designing, equipment manufacture, erection and commissioning each has to be executed to time.

Early delays cannot be recovered later in a time of acute labour shortage. Our industry takes response for the phases under its conu1. but it is misleading and unjust to 'ame one sector of industry for delays for which other sections are responsible. The gravity of the situation should not be underestimated, but it is certainly no scandal. The chemical industry and its suppliers are tackling the problem energetically.

Better forward planning and co-operation are emerging These, coupled with increased training and a more liberal approach by the unions to demarcation and the use of semi-skilled labour, can achieve the radical improvement that the situation demands Peter SeUgman, Chairman, British Chemical Plant Manufacturers Association.

PERSONS UNDER SENTENCE OF DEATH; Mr Bonnet, observing there were, at present, 58 persons under sentence of death in Newgate, some of whom had been that situation since the December Sessions, wished to know why the Recorder's Report had not been received, and declared it was a subject required very ample explanation. Lord Castlereagh said, that the delay was attributable to the indisposition of the Prince Regent, by which His Royal Highness had been detained at Brighton, and by the difficulty and inconvenience of assembling there all the law officers etc, whom it was necessary to consult on the subject. Lord Miitn and Mr Wynn expressed both astonishment and indignation at the neglect.

Pendennts was righL, and your correspondent Mr J. P. Greene) has been misled by Philip Guedalla never the most accurate of historians. 1 Wellington Testimonial had nothing lo do with Catholic Emancipation. It was a monument to Waterloo, designed by Sir Robert Smirke, architect of the British Museum.

The foundation stone was laid in June, 1817. In this respect it can therefore be regarded as an alien monument. Of course Wellington was an Irishman, but then so was Castlereagh. On the other hand. Nelson's Pillar was designed not by an English architect but by an Irishman.

Designs by William Wilkins, architect of the National Gallery in London, were rejected by the committee of Dublin Merchants and Bankers in favour of a modified version by Francis Johnston (1761-1829). Wilkins had proposed a Doric column on a plinth representing a very chaste Grecian mausoleum," to be surmounted by a Roman Galley." It was Johnston who suggested the final design, with its statue by Thomas Kirk. Destroying the work of one of Dublin's finest architects seems an odd way of demonstrating Irish patriotism. J. Vi.

Crook Bedford College, N.W.I Too many people Sir, I am truly astounded hv Mr. McNulty's letter of last Sunday. Does it really take seven children before Che final disillusionment sets in and she begins to question the thundering! of the missionary priests One can only assume that the brainwashing which results in this sort of situation for many Roman Catholic mothers is all-powerful and long-lasting. Mrs MoNuJty asks for help: I would suggest that she ensures that her own children are not subjected to the conditioning inflicted on herself. Birmmghairj.

Marjorie Weir Sir, Mrs Mary McNuIty seems to be somewhat confused. It is not up to those of us who disagree witih Roman Catholic teaching on contraception to help her. It's up to her. She has two clear choices either sho accepts the Ohiirch's teaching or she quits. To hope that the teaching may be altered is in my opinion to cry for the moon.

The Roman Catholic Church relies on its productive members to keep its numbers up, and is unlikely ever voluntarily to see the decline in numbers that contraception, particularly in poverty-stricken countries, would bring.

The real difference lies in the metaphysical framework of reference the wo Fid view within which the significance of the cosmos is to be apprehended. Modem science sees the cosmos in terms of quantities to be measured and in terms of the phenomenal order only. But in former times men saw the cosmos as a symbol of a divine order, involving qualitative relationships, in which maji himself participated.

This is the basis of astrology, and it 'remains the science par excellence by which the truth of that larger world view can he put to the test. Its daia arc entirely scientific, and well suited to sta isticai stu y.

'Born Free' Sir. I quote from Mr Kenneth Tynan's review of the film Born Free" in lasi week's Obsfrvfr: Presumably claivs were clipped anil canines safely blunted for the scenes In which the aduJt lioness romps with the two stars." I was present on location during the ten months' filming of Bom Free and watched most critically the treatment of the lions which were used. I can assure you that neither the teeth nor the claws of any of the lions used in the film were in any way blunted or tarmpercd with for the sake of safety or for any other reason. The two stars, Vrirginia McKenna and Bill Travers, refused to allow any doubles to be used during the filming and played a paramount part in training the lions for the parts in which they were filmed. Both the training and the filming called for the greatest courage on their part.
