Hess Yntema, after a fluke wave emptied into his mouth causing him to miss a stroke during the butterfly leg of the medley relay, turned in an outstanding triple, the only one of the three-day meet. He owned the 200-yd. distance, winning handily in the 200-yd. I.M., the 200-yd. freestyle, and 200-yd. butterfly, and anchoring the victorious 800-yd. free relay.

The extraordinary disclosure suggested that the miners' slowdown, the three-day week, the strike and even the election all might have been averted, since it lent strong justification to the miners' main argument that they had fallen behind other workers in pay. On election eve Heath is expected to get more bad news when the January trade figures are released. The Labor Party's shadow Chancellor, Denis Healey, has predicted that they will be "hair-raising"-a fairly safe guess...
