But it was not, Mr Wigoder went on, until October 30 that Mr Maudling had made his bombshell announcement to the House of Commons that part of the Dutschke appeal would be heard in secret and that new evidence relating to national security would be brought to light. it was learned yesterday.

Intolerable Mr Wigoder said that even as late as 1970 there had been no indication from the Home Office that they believed Dutschke had broken his promise not to engage in political activities.

Yet at this time they appeared to know most of Mr Dutschke's activities and movements.

"It is obvious now, is it not, that Dutschke's telephone Attorney-General Rawlinson has been tapped', said Mr Wigoder.

Other food retailers were awaiting detailed government figures and direction, before taking similar action.

The official tests followed the detection of large amounts of the toxic metal in tuna fish on sale in the United Statés and the withdrawal from sale there of a million tins.

So there is no 'if' about it, and the 'Star' knows it.

These 'criminal acts' are not even acknowledged, let alone condemned by the • Stalinists of the British Communist It can truly be said that if the British Communist Party is not headed by murderers, it is led by their close friends.

The 'Star's' solution for what it terms 'the economic problems confronting Poland and other socialist states' can be summed up as: Turn towards imperialism!
