Mining Aid Shapes Growth In Lightning Ridge District
Minister Vincent reports strong mining support from the department in Lightning Ridge. Grants totaling 24,000 aid prospectors and 6,000 loans back mining machinery, boosting jobs for about 1,750 workers and lifting gold output in New South Wales. Experimental work on coal carbonisation and shale oil is funded, with Maitland coal showing oil yield potential and Newnes shale studies advancing cabinet review.

A bold salvo on Tuesday saw a bandit seize a Public Works pay car outside the Bank of New South Wales Wynyard street entrance. He fired at paymaster Herbert Wood, took £1400 in cash and securities, escaped in a front-seat hold up with a confederate car, sped via Carrington and King streets toward Pyrmont, while an eyewitness tracked the thief until a bridge cutoff. Detectives tightened surveillance on chemists, hospitals, and all routes as the chase continued.

Marriages Between Abos and Whites Described as Rare
The report from Mungindi notes a rare marriage between a full blood Aboriginal and a white man in Queensland. The Protection of Aborigines Department restricts such unions without Chief Protector and Home Secretary approval, a safeguard in place for many years. Half caste and white marriages occur less often and await department inquiries before permission.

Radio Licence Fee Cut Planned in Budget
CANBERRA reports that the radio license fee is set to fall from 24s to 7s 6d when the Budget is framed. A possible further 1 shilling reduction was anticipated but cabinet preliminary surveys confirm no cut beyond 3s. The 3s cut is linked to patent rights payments halted since last March, with the funds now going to Government revenue so listeners may benefit.
