MONKEY NUTS
Food Minister Grins (Rec. 10.55 a.m.) LONDON, Feb. 24. Handfuls of monkey nuts showered down the steps of Cairci Hall, Dundee, while Sheriff Mackinnon was reading the poll figures announcing that the Food Minister, Mr John Strachey, had been reelected. Mr Strachey, whose nut scheme in East Africa has been the centre of political controversy for months, grinned in the direction of some students, picked up a few of the nuts and pocketed them. The sheriff’s clerk shouted over the microphone: “That is very bad behaviour. Wait till the figures are finished please—then yell as much as you like.”
