Still In Command
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter— Copyright) ROYAN (France). R. Altig, a 29-year-old West German, consolidated his lead in the Tour de France cycle race on Monday. Altig, in command of the race so far, was one of a group of four who finished 16 seconds ahead of the field on the 156-mile seventh stage from Angers to Royan.
But his lead is still almost as precarious as ori the first day, when he won the yellow jersey of tour leader. After 930 miles, the German is only 63sec ahead of the joint favourites, J. Anquetil and R. Poulidor, of France. Special Leave.— The Auckland Hospital Board, subject to the approval of the Minister of Health, will grant special leave with pay to members of its staff selected to represent New Zealand in international sport.
