"Backlog' disputes slow down return

YESTERDAY'S return to work by council workers throughout England and Wales was marked by local bonus disputes for clearing rubbish backlogs.

Dustmen in about 20 London boroughs may not return until tomorrow while negotiations go on.

A public employees' union spokesman warned councils that if they persisted in 'adopting an unreasonable stance on clearing up this backlog, they are going to find they will be in trouble and that the strike will continue'.

Union officials were meeting at Transport House last night to decide on action in these boroughs.

Croydon dustmen went back with a promise of three weeks' back pay.

More than 60 Great Yarmouth dustmen refused to go back yesterday morning after complaining that the council had used non-union labour during the strike.

"The strike will spread as the week proceeds. When the miners who are working see the response at other collieries they will come out in solidarity with their workmates.' Only 8,500 men in Scotland remain at work.

Sir Cyril is regarded • by many as one of the world's most eminent psychologists and he is one of the few to receive a Knighthood.

He maintains that intelligence is largely the result of inheritance-that it is passed Psychology at the 1 considerable attenclaim that workingless intelligent than 'general mental ability.

Such a factor undoubtedly exists. To illustrate this, let us contrast such able persons as Marx, Shakespeare, Einstein and Newton with the inhabitants of a colony for mental defectives.

On the other hand a child who is born with a healthy and well-developed brain will not become intelligent if he is kept in a very dull and restricted environment!

To ask if constitution is more important than environment in the determination of intelligence is rather like asking if length is more important than width in the determination of area.

In point of fact intelligence results from the interaction

What, therefore, we should be asking is not whether environment is more important than constitution but rather questions like:

'What specific environments will interact with specific constitutional factors in such a way as to produce the maximum level of intelligence in the individual?

We will return to this important point later.

Mention should be made

race theories order to create the maximum confusion in the working class.

Attacks on immigrants are all of a piece with attacks or chool-children, the sick and the old.

That is the real face of Powellism. miners were on strike and 41 of the 72 pits completely idle.
