Latest U.S.hijack try ends peacefully at dawn today “I think I’ve tapped into the Pentagon.” MIAMI (AP) — A man claiming to have a bomb in a briefcase hijacked a Miami-bound Eastern Airlines jumbo jet to Cuba today in the second case of air piracy in 48 hours, federal aviation officials said.Eastern Flight 1, with 231 people aboard, landed safely back at Miami International airport at 4:47 a m.EDT “minus one male hijacker,” said Jack Barker, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman in Atlanta.No one was injured in the hijacking.Barker said the hijacker did not have a weapon but “he claimed to have a bomb in a briefcase.” It was the fourth hijacking this month and the eighth since May 1.The flight, carrying 221 passengers and a crew of 11, had originated Monday night at John F.Kennedy International Airport in New York.The L-1011 was about 64 kilometres northeast of Miami shortly after midnight Monday night when the pilot ad- vised the FAA control tower he was heading to Havana.The plane landed at Jose Marti International Airport in Havana at 1:07 a m.EDT, Barker said.On Sunday, three Spanish-speaking men held a stewardess at knifepoint and threatened to ignite an aerosol spray as they diverted a Delta Air Lines Miami-to-Tampa flight to Cuba.Barker said hijackers go to prison in Cuba “which makes the whole thing very mysterious.” On July 6, Cuba told the U.S.State Department it was handing out prison sentences of up to 20 years for air pirates.On July 7, another plane was skyjacked to Cuba.After the Delta hijacking Sunday, Cuban authorities took seven people into custody — three men, two women and two children.FBI agents said Monday they had no identifications of the group and did not know what Cuba did with them.Officials say prosecuting hijackers in American courts would brake the recent surge of air piracies, but there is no sign yet the Cuban government is willing to return them, officials say.The State Department said Monday it had repeated its appeal to Cuba to accept the return of undesirable exiles, noting that their continued presence in the United States may have contributed to the recent spate of hijackings.Farm ministers I to bring Whelan livestock plan BRUDENELL, P.E.I.(CP) - A last-minute proposal by provincial agriculture ministers on a national income stabilization plan for the financially troubled livestock industry was supported Monday by only four provinces.Support of the proposal, to be presented today to federal Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan, is far short of the consensus sought during the last four months by a special intei provincial committee.In March, Whelan predicted his provincial colleagues would fail to overcome differences over terms of a national stabilization program to replace the maze of federal and provincial assistance programs for the beef and pork industries.However, it’s not known whether he will use this week’s annual agriculture ministers’ meeting to unveil his long-awaited “red meat strategy” to overhaul an industry ravaged by low market prices and high costs of production.In a statement Monday, the provincial ministers said progress was made on their plan, a type of insurance fund into which producers pay in good years and from which they receive payments in bad years.But officials said the proposal is virtually the same as the one offered by Ontario Agriculture Minister Dennis Timbrell four months ago.In addition to Ontario, it is supported by Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, which also backed Tim-brell’s plan.The other provinces, particularly Quebec, are concerned about any move to restrict a province’s right to provide assistance to its producers in addition to that received under a national plan.As a result, the proposal to be presented to Whelan is expected to recommend creation of a plan immediately for the four supporting provinces with provision to allow other provinces to join later.Monday’s talks were seen as a final attempt to salvage something from four months of discussions and to develop a united front on red meat stabilization before two days of talks with Whelan.However, Quebec Agriculture Minister Jean Garon accused Timbrell of being a stalking horse for Whelan by attempting to win provincial support for a plan privately supported by the federal minister.The ministers agreed a national plan should be financed equally by the provinces, the federal government and producers, but there was disagreement on how to establish the level of payments.For example, some provinces want a cost-of-production formula linked to regional differences such as transportation costs.“We’ve reached the point where we’ve exhausted any further deliberations that we might be able to pursue,” said Prince Edward Island’s Prowse Chappell.On other issues, the ministers called for a federal-provincial task force to review federal tax laws for farmers.The ministers are upset by a clause declaring many producers part-time farmers for tax purposes, limiting to $5,000 the losses they can claim.Whelan tried to have that provision changed in the April federal budget.Eastern ministers also agreed to take another stab at developing a potato marketing agency.But after half a dozen drafts, Prince Edward Island remained opposed to the proposal’s price-setting provisions.Whelan also is expected to spend today and Wednesday on the operations of some national farm marketing boards.He vowed in May to disband the agencies that govern the production and marketing of dairy products, poultry and eggs if the provinces failed to resolve internal bickering over their operations.But the provincial ministers dismissed the threat Monday, saying the issue was not raised during their talks.Bank sued in seizure Liberal fever heats in Québec ! : IP RtCORD ARI VIM HI Rli A farmer is suing the bank which seized his assets.Story, page 3.QUEBEC (CP) — Quebec Liberal headquarters has been swamped with last-minute applications by people who want to join the party in time to take part in the October leadership convention.Last Friday — exactly 90 days before the convention — was the deadline for people to join and still be eligible to be delegates, or to vote for them, at meetings that will begin late next month.Chief Liberal organizer Pierre Bi-beau said Monday between 10,000 and 15,000 new members have signed up in the last-minute rush.The exact number won’t be known for a while, because the party is still counting.“Many, many applications came in this morning in the mail,” Bibeau said.“We re in the process of sorting it all out.” The party has recently tightened up its regulations governing who can be a delegate to the October convention, and incidents similar to those that oc-cured during the recent federal Conservative leadership convention, Nicaragua set for bloody fourth birthday LEON, Nicaragua (AP) — The San-dinista government is braced for threatened attacks by U.S.-backed insurgents as it celebrates the fourth anniversary of the left-wing revolution that brought it to power.Organizers say they expect 130,000 people to attend the main ceremonies in Leon, 88 kilometres northwest of Managua.Leon was the first city to come under Sandinista control in the revolution that ended 42 years of So-moza family rule on July 19, 1979.The Culture Ministry recently declared Leon a national historical site because of its role in the revolution and its buildings that date to the 16th century.On the eve of the celebration, President Reagan reiterated his opposition to the Nicaraguan government, denouncing its leaders as “dictators.” He holds Nicaragua responsible for helping leftist guerrillas fighting the U.S.-supported government in El Salvador — a charge the Nicaraguans deny — and claims the Sandinistas have not lived up to the democratic promises of the revolution.BREAKS PROMISES “This was a revolution that promised to bring freedom to the Nicaraguan people,” Reagan said Monday in a speech in Hollywood, Fla., to the International Longshoremen’s Association.“History will call it the revolution of broken promises.” Congress has scheduled a closed-door session today to discuss a bill that would cut off covert U.S.aid to Nicaraguan “counter- revolutionaries” or “contras” as the anti-government rebels are known in Nicaragua.Meanwhile, the Nicaraguan Democratic Force, which includes members of the late President Anastasio Somoza’s disbanded national guard, promised to disrupt the celebration.The force claims to ha ve 7,000 guerril las operating inside Nicaragua.A Defence Ministry source said late Monday that government troops killed at least 27 rebels in three days of fighting across three northern provinces.One soldier was reported killed and three wounded, he said.The government offered no comment on claims by Costa Rican based guerrillas fighting in the south that 130 government troops were killed or wounded in fierce combat last Friday in San Juan province.An estimated 2,000 guerrillas, led by former Sandinista hero Eden Pas-tora, are fighting in the south and have also threatened to disrupt the celebrations.Pastora broke with the Sandinistas over their crackdown on political freedom and ties to the Soviet Union and Cuba.Tension along the Nicaraguan-Honduran border has increased.Nicaragua and Honduras accuse each other of border violations and the Sandinistas claim the Honduran military supports the insurgents.However, the Honduran and Costa Rican-based rebels appear to have had little success igniting a large-scale insurrection, despite some signs of discontent with the Sandinistas.Planning Minister Henry Ruiz said the foreign debt now is $4 billion, compared with $1.6 billion four years ago, and rationing of gasoline, sugar and other basic household items is standard practice.where "instant Tories” were signed up at the last minute, are less likely to occur, said Gilles Richard, vice-president of the convention organi zing committee.This is partly because of the 90 day membership limit, and partly because the minimum age for joining the party is 16.There is also the fact that there are no official candidates yet, so recruitment of members in favor of one candidate or another cannot be done officially.The selection of delegates will begin at the end of August and continue until mid-September, and there are precise criteria for delegate selection.Each of the 122 ridings is entitled to 24 delegates.There will be no substitutes, and no automatic delegates.In terim Liberal Leader Gerard D.Levesque and all the other members of the Liberal caucus, as well as the members of the party executive, will have to get themselves elected as delegates in their ridings.Eight delegates must be men over 25, and eight must be women over 25.The eight others must be members of the party’s youth wing, three men and three women between the ages of 16 and 25.Although it makes up less than seven per cent of the total membership of about 110,000, the youth wing will be entitled to 33 per cent of the delegates.There is also a provision for up to three of the 24 delegates to be elected as ethnic representatives.The criteria for the selection of the delegates are stricter than they have ever been.“I think they went too far,” said Hi chard.“The theory isn’t bad, but even the party president could be defeated trying to become a delegate.” There are also regulations governing the amount of money a candidate can spend, and how that money can be raised.No one has officially entered the race yet, but several people are expected to do so in the coming weeks.These include former Liberal leader Robert Bourassa, and national assembly members Daniel Johnson and Pierre Paradis.Henry the K back in the saddle for President Reagan WASHINGTON (AP) — It seems inevitable that, when the going got rough, Ronald Reagan and Henry Kissinger would find each other.Reagan, in search of a solution to his Central America problem, turned Monday to a customary presidential tactic: the appointment of a high-level, bipartisan, prestige-laden commission, of which he named Kissinger chairman.He said he wants Kissinger “to keep the light of liberty alive in Central America.” The attempt will restore the former U.S.state secretary to the high-stakes, high-intensity diplomacy that has been his life’s work.Since 1977 he had been off centre stage — writing books, undergoing heart surgery, serving on corporate boards and delivering television commentary, campus lectures and consultations for a fee.For Reagan, the appointment of the Kissinger Commission will buy time, could win Democratic support for whatever policy emerges and might even find a formula for peace in the area.TESTED FORMULA A commission, chaired by Ford administration economist Alan Greenspan, framed a solution to a financial crisis that threatened social security.Another, with an old Kissinger ally as chairman, retired Lt.-Gen.Brent Scowcroft, came up with a basing plan that allowed Democrats to vote for the MX missile.Reagan will be the sixth president, of the last seven, that Kissinger has offered advice to.He served without prominence in the administrations of Dwight Eisenhower, John F.Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson.He was with Richard Nixon from start to tortured finish.Gerald Ford’s first act, on the night Nixon resigned the presidency, was to make it clear that Kissinger would remain as state secretary.Kissinger was too much “the Lone Ranger” to serve in the administration of Jimmy Carter, so his years in the wilderness began.He set to writing his memoirs.When Reagan was elected, Kissinger was still on the banned list.For the conservatives who nominated Reagan in 1980 and entered the White House with him in 1981, Kissinger was too closely associated with the party’s internationalist wing.He had made his name as an aide to Nelson Rockefeller, a nemesis to the conservatives.On Monday, five conservative spokesmen called a news conference to denounce Reagan’s selection.“Henry Kissinger is the mortician of American national interests,” said Pat McGuigan of Coalition for America.“He applies cosmetics to the foreign policy problems and then buries them.” Kissinger’s place in history is fixed — in controversy.He is a Nobel peace laureate who can always still attract a protest as a superhawk, the Dr.Strangelove of nuclear diplomacy.Kissinger shared his Nobel Prize with Le Duc Tho, negotiator for the Vietnamese Communists, for their efforts toward allowing America to leave Vietnam with the so-called “peace with honor’’ that Nixon wanted.But, although Kissinger declared that "peace is at hand” (with the 1972 presidential election very much at hand), it wasn’t, and the war dragged on for three more years.He was like no other state secretary.He was a shuttle diplomat, jetting from one country to the other on presidential missions.None before so cultivated his society page image as a Georgetown nightlifer.Last month, in a highly critical biography, author Seymour Hersh wrote that Kissinger courted both sides in the 1968 presidential campaign, giving secrets about the Vietnam peace talks to Nixon while offering the De- mocratic candidate, Hubert Humphrey, information he could use to discredit Nixon.To that assertion, Kissinger gave a characteristic reply.He called it “a slimy lie.” Old foes wonder who’s Kissinger now.Can’t think of anyone lower — Helms WASHINGTON (AP) — The appointment of Henry Kissinger to a key Central American affairs post is winning praise from the congressional leadership, but old rivals from the left and right say the move is a serious mistake.Controversy over the Kissinger comeback began to swirl within hours after his appointment Monday by President Reagan as head of a bipartisan commission on Central America.Senator Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) said he will call the former state secretary as a witness to find out “what if anything he knows about Central America.” “There may be someone in this broad land who is lower on my list of choices than Mr.Kissinger but I can’t think of him,” said Helms, the conservative chairman of the Western Hemisphere subcommittee of the Senate foreign relations committee."1 hope it is only a trial balloon, and as far as I am concerned, I would like to see it shot down,” said Representative Clarence Long (D Md ), a liberal whose House of Representatives ap- propriations subcommittee must approve funds for the administration's Central America policy.But Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker(R-Tenn.)said: “Few pu blic servants enjoy such a distinguished background, and few carry with them such international acclaim and trust” as Kissinger.The commission will study Central America to make policy recommendations to Reagan by Dec.1.The eight remaining panel members, who do not require Senate confirmation, are expected to be named shortly Reagan’s goal is to bring together a bipartisan group from government, business, academia and other professions.Kissinger, who made his mark in the Nixon and Ford administrations in such areas as the Middle East, China, the Soviet Union and Vietnam, has said little about the Central American issue But one enduring contribution was his insistence that the U.S should negotiate new Panama Canal treaties — a position opposed by the Reagan wing of the Republican party.But his statements indicate he supports the hroad outlines of the Reagan administration's policy.In 1980, he blamed the Carter administration for pursuing policies that he claimed alio wed leftist insurgencies to flourish in Nicaragua and elsewhere.“We’re creating our own anti-American revolution there," he said.-%'S m Kissinger .Sow Reagan*s man 2—The RECORD—Tuesday, July 19.I9S:I Bourassa aide Desrochers was ‘taking pills every ten minutes’ MONTREAL (CP) - Paul Desro chers, who shot himself to death last week, was known as one of the most powerful men in Quebec in the early 1970s during his years as senior aide to former Quebec Liberal premier Robert Bourassa.Desrochers, 63, was found by his wife last Thursday morning at their house at Hawkesbury, Ont., after suffering “self-inflicted wounds to the head caused by a revolver," Hawkesbury police chief Maurice Durocher said Monday.He died Friday at an Ottawa hospital and his family, which buried him at a private funeral on the weekend, has not commented on his death.A former army officer, accountant and management consultant, Desro-chers developed an extensive personal network of party workers throughout Quebec which he descri- bed as his “army of more than 50,000 volunteers” that he kept in constant touch with by telephone.Desrochers, who organized Bouras-sa’s successful campaign to win the Liberal leadership in 1970, was a senior vice-president of The Permanent, a trust and real estate firm also known as Canada Permanent Trust Co.HEADED MAISL1N He was also a former president of Maislin Industries Ltd., the holding company for Maislin Transport Ltd.which has filed for bankruptcy, and continued as a Maislin director until his death.Published reports Monday said he had been depressed because of losses involving large personal holdings of Maislin shares.But a Montreal lawyer who worked with him, David Bernstein, said Desrochers did not mention Maislin’s troubles when he spoke with him the day before the committing suicide.Bernstein said in an interview that Desrochers said he was not feeling well when he spoke with him by telephone last Wednesday.“He said he was going to the bathroom every 10 minutes and he was taking pills of some sort.“He had been in and out of hospital for tests recently but I never asked him what it was for.But he wasn’t too happy about the tests because he was such a dynamic man.” Bourassa said in an interview Monday that the last time he saw Desro-chers was in January, “when he looked in relatively good shape.” He said he spoke with Desrochers three weeks ago and he did not mention any medical problems.He resigned as a Bourassa aide in early 1974 “because of health problems,” Bourassa said, including severe back pain resulting from an injury in the Second World War in which he served as an officer.He had to wear a brace or corset since then.The exruciating pain made sleep difficult and he said in a 1972 interview that he frequently did not sleep at all and found that “three hours sleep is enough for me,” leaving him time to dream up election campaign plans.Desrochers is the second former high-ranking Bourassa aide to die under such circumstances.In May, 1978, Jean Prieur was discovered fatally wounded in his Montreal-area home with a revolver beside him.Desrochers was chief organizer of the Quebec Liberal party between 1966 and 1970, Bourassa said, “mea- ning that when he supported my candidacy (for the 1970 leadership campaign), it was an important factor.” But Bourassa said he had already decided to run when Desrochers offered to support him and said Desrochers’ nickname as “the kingmaker” who picked Bourassa as leader was inaccurate.MARKED BY CONTROVERSY His period in Bourassa’s office was marked by frequent controversy, including his role in the James Bay hydroelectric project.In a 1978 interview, Desrochers said he had resurrected the project after it had been planned and shelved by Hydro-Quebec.Desrochers said that at the time he was a consultant for the Chase Manhattan Bank of New York, while Bourassa said Monday Desrochers had played a key role in obtaining finan- cing for James Bay in the U.S.He also was the Quebec government’s representative on the organizing committee for Montreal’s 1976 Summer Olympics and negotiated the sale of television rights for the Games to the ABC-TV network for $25 million without seeking competing bids.MP Otto Jelinek told the Commons that CBS was told it would have to donate $5 million to the Quebec Liberal party to obtain the rights.In the 1978 interview, Desrochers also said he told Bourassa in 1976 that he was “a damn fool” for calling an election only three years after the previous campaign.The Liberals lost in 1976 to the Parti Québécois.Desrochers said in 1976 that “the silent majority” should “take to the streets” to defend its rights against the news media and revolutionary agitators.At least one PQ MNA backs the constitution QUEBEC (CP) — The conviction of independent member of the national assembly Gilles Grégoire on charges of performing immoral sexual acts with seven juvenile girls is unconstitutional, his lawyer told Quebec Superior Court on Monday.Pierre Gaudreau, arguing his client should be granted leave to appeal his conviction, said the federal Juvenile Delinquency Act under which his client was charged fails to adequately define his offence and contravenes the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.Grégoire, 57, was sentenced on Thursday to two years less a day in prison and ordered to pay $2,900 in fines for having performed immoral sexual acts with seven girls aged 12 to 17.On Monday, he was returned to the Quebec detention centre at nearby Orsainville, where he has been detained since his sentencing.He has been refused bail pending the end of his hearing, which continues today.Gaudreau argued the ambiguity of the Act gives judges substantial freedom to determine what constitutes an incitation to delinquency.“The law is ambiguous,” he said.“It doesn’t permit someone to knowin a precise way what he’s been charged with.” Crown prosecutor Rene de la Sa-blonniere told Judge Ross Goodwin that two Superior Court justices had already rejected the same argument.Alliance will help pay for Anglophone sign suits MONTREAL (CP) — Alliance Quebec is prepared to assume legal costs for a court test of the province’s language law as it applies to the use of English on signs in small businesses, Eric Maldoff, president of the the English rights group, said Monday.Maldoff said there is clear doubt about the interpretation of an article in the law governing bilingual signs.There are also opinions within the Commission de surveillance de la langue française, which enforces the language law, that “indicate some bilingual signs would be legal,” he said.“We are willing to support a test case,” added Maldoff.Article 60 of the law, commonly known as Bill 101, states: “Firms employing not more than four persons, including the employer, may erect signs and posters in both French and another language in their establishments.” Since 1978, commission officials have interpreted the article to mean “inside” their establishments.But one commission lawyer gave it a wider interpretation, meaning “at.” However, a commission spokesman said Monday that the lawyer was not an authority and his opinion was not official.Prayer break a must — or else — for visitors WINNIPEG (CP) — Six Canadian communications experts working in Saudi Arabia have been warned they will be publicly flogged if they are found working again during daily Islamic prayer hours, a Manitoba Telephone System official said Monday.The warning came after Saudi Arabian police, carrying bamboo canes, burst into a downtown Riyadh office occupied by a joint venture set up by the Manitoba telephone company and a Saudi sheik.Weathe Sunny today with cloudy periods, high of 20.Low tonight 18.Fortommorow, risk of scattered showers or thunderstorms, high of 28-30 The incident occurred earlier this month and rumors of the threatened public beatings began circulating on the weekend.Mike Aysan, general manager of the company’s data communications subsidiary, confirmed the threat in a telephone interview from the Riyadh office today.“We were told it was against the law and ordered not to repeat it,” Aysan said."They told us they would not administer punishment — a public flogging — this time, but would if if happened a second time.” He denied one local rumor two of the workers had actually been flogged.Aysan said he and the other Canadians working for the Manitoba company were aware of the local religious customs and regulations before they left for Saudi Arabia.Asked why he and his staff continued to work during the prayer hour, Aysan said he did not wish to discuss that point with the media.#1___gPJ KGCOra George MacLaren, Publisher .569 9511 Charles Bury, Editor.569

Monday to leave for Ottawa where he hopes to meet with Industry Minister Ed Lumley.Maislin quit the giant trucking firm Friday to protest the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce’s refusal to honor paycheques issued laid-off employees of subsidiary Maislin Transport Ltd.“I want (Lumley) to intervene and convince the bank it should pay the wages,” said Maislin, who spent much of the day trying unsuccessfully to reach Lumley from office space loaned to him by the Teamsters union local in Montreal.Drapeau has surprise MONTREAL (CP)— Mayor Jean Drapeau said Monday he may have another “major international event” in store for Montrealers.But Drapeau, true to his enigmatic style, refused to elaborate.“We are working out the details and will have an announcement within a few weeks or at least before the fall,” he told reporters after accepting an award for the city’s horticultural achievements.“You can be sure it will be something that will make Montrealers very proud and happy as it will affect their lives and they will be not just spectators but participants.” Molson’s unveils program MONTREAL (CP) — Molson Brewery Quebec Ltd., in a bid to move into the lucrative United States beer market, unveiled Monday a long-planned $125-million capital investment program.The five-year overhaul of the brewery’s east-end site includes the construction of a new brewhouse and 15 storage tanks, installation of a filtration and stabilization system, and the refurbishing and building of new office space.“The introduction of a new packaging line for beer in 355-millilitre aluminum cans, in production since June, is also part of the investment plan,” Molson president Jacques Allard told a news conference.Firefighters continue battle MONTREAL (CP) — About 200 firefighters early today continued to battle a fierce fire ravaging a three-storey office building in Montreal’s financial district.The five-alarm fire at 375 St.Jacques Street W., which police said started about 1:00 a.m.EDT, destroyed most of the building within two hours.But the blaze continued to threaten neighboring buildings, which include a Woolworth Co.Ltd.department store and several historic structures.Police said firefighters were able to extinguish flames which spread to an adjacent five-storey building and were also able to prevent the blaze from crossing the street and threatening the fortress-like headquarters of the Royal Bank of Canada.UFQ keeps plant closed CAP-AUX-MEULES, Que.(CP) — Members of the United Fishermen of Quebec in the Ues-de-la-Madeleine have decided to keep the fish processing plant at Havre-aux Maisons closed this summer during the mackerel season.Members of the co-operative, at a general meeting last week, turned down an offer from Madeli-peche Inc.to rent the plant and keep it going, preferring instead to abide by existing agreements with private producers in the Gulf of St.Lawrence islands.Madelipeche is 51 per cent owned by the United Fishermen and 49 per cent by the Quebec government.Government will borrow OTTAWA (CP) —The government plans to borrow $650 million through a new bond issue Aug.1, the Finance Department said Monday.The money raised will be used to help finance this year’s projected record deficit of $31.3 billion.The bond issue will have three maturities: 11-per-cent bonds due Dec.15, 1987; 113/4-per-cent bonds due Dec.15, 1992; ^'A-per-cent bonds due Sept.1, 2005.Further details are to be released today.Construction to begin PORT HAWKESBURY, N.S.(CP) — Construction will begin this fall on a $13-million marine training school capable of handling 1,500 students a year.External Affairs Minister Allan MacEa-chen and Nova Scotia Premier John Buchanan announced Monday.The Nova Scotia Nautical Institute will train workers in the fishing, shipping and offshore industries, they told a news conference.“It is part of the special recovery program of the federal government," MacEachen said.“We are putting up about $11 million or more to build this nautical institute.” The school, the first of five to be built in Canada, will offer short specialized courses and a three-vear marine training program.Ottawa spends $1.4 million GLACE BAY, N.S.(CP) — Ottawa will spend $1.4 million putting 136 laid-off Cape Breton Development Corp.employees back to work, David Dingwall, Liberal MP for Cape Breton-East Richmond, said Monday.Dingwall told a news conference the program is open only to Devco workers collecting unemployment insurance benefits and will run for three to four months.He said the program will be partly financed under a federal act which allows unemployment insurance benefits to be used for job creation.Devco, a federal Crown corporation, will pay a portion of the cost to bring wages to union levels Gordon pleads not guilty NEWCASTLE, N.B.(CP) — James Gordon, member of the provincial legislature for Mirami-chi Bay, pleaded not guilty to three poaching-related charges Monday.A lawyer entered the pleas of behalf of Gordon, who was charged after an incident allegedly took place June 29 on the Miramichi River.Gordon was charged with possession of untagged salmon, catching and retaining salmon with a net without a license and obstructing a fisheries officer.He will reappear in court Aug.17.Berton reported stable RICHMOND HILL, Ont.(CP) — Author Pierre Berton, 63, was reported in stable condition Monday in the intensive care unit of York Central Hospital in this town just north of Toronto where he is recovering from pneumonia.Berton, a television personality and author of 28 books, was admitted to the hospital several days ago.Poaching is big business ROSETOWN, Sask.(CP) — Canadian wildlife is becoming big business at the expense of scarce animals, says the acting deputy minister for Saskatchewan’s Renewable Resources Department.Ross MacLellan said Monday' in an interview some poachers are members of organized crime — people who originally began as drug dealers but found the penalty for dealing drugs was too severe.There is a small number of people poaching for themselves and the department is mainly concerned with poachers who deliberately catch wildlife for sale, he said.Trudeau waits in line INUVIK, N.W.T.(CP) — Prime Minister Trudeau took a place in line Monday behind a hundred or so other hungry celebrants at a barbecue marking the 25th anniversary of this far northern town.However, hundreds of Inuvik residents and visitors left the prime minister to eat almost uninterrupted with sons Justin, Sacha and Michel.The menu was charcoal-grilled steak, baked potato and cole slaw.It was eaten with plastic forks and knives at long wooden tables at the community arena, a huge metal shell with a dirt floor.Casey establishes trust WASHINGTON (AP) — CIA Director William Casey, criticized for trading millions of dollars in stock while seeing the U.S.government's most secret economic data, agreed Monday night to put his extensive portfolio into a blind trust.In a statement issued by the CIA, Casey said his current arrangement in which a financial adviser has day-to-day control over the investments amounted to a “de facto blind trust” that had been judged by federal ethics officials to be “legal and proper.” Beggs predicts go-ahead WASHINGTON (AP) — The head of the U.S.space agency predicted Monday that President Reagan will give the go-ahead for a permanent American-manned space station within a few months.James Beggs, administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, said there have been encouraging signs from the White House recently that it will approve NASA’s long-sought goal of a station for long-duration exploration and exploitation of space.EPA sued for violation WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency was sued Monday by two groups seeking to overturn a decision that left the suspected cancer-causing chemical formaldehyde unregulated.The Natural Resources Defence Council and the American Public Health Association filed the suit, alleging that EPA was violating the law by refusing to consider imposing restrictions on for-maldeh de, a chemical used in products ranging from plywood to baby diapers.The suit involves a decision announced Feb.10, 1982, that the EPA would not regulate formaldehyde even though it had evidence the chemical causes cancer in rats.Dolphin program suspended NIAGARA FALLS, N Y.(AP) — A program for handicapped children to learn by playing with dolphins has been suspended because of a disagreement over who designed it, aquarium director Bela Babus said Monday.“We just don’t know at this point what is going to happen,” Babus said.The program, called Pet Bonding, started at the non-profit centre about six weeks ago.Mentally retarded children were to have helped train dolphins and in the process increase their own attention spans, among other benefits.Pryor jokes during fire LOS ANGELES (AP) — Comedian Richard Pryor, who nearly died of burns three years ago, cracked jokes as he helped people leave a nightclub when fire swept through an adjacent vacant building owned by singer Rod Stewart.“Mr.Pryor was very calm and very relaxed and was being very funny,” said Lily Mariye, who works at the Comedy Store nightclub.Pryor’s routine there was cut short just after midnight Sunday night when firefighters asked that people leave the club.Pryor spent six weeks in hospital after being set on fire at his Northridge home on June 9,1980.He has said the accident followed a drug and alcohol binge, and he has since sworn off liquor and drugs.Charles sparks dispute LONDON (Reuter) — Prince Charles, heir to the throne, ran into a political dispute today by suggesting young lawbreakers might benefit from a taste of army discipline.He said in a lecture Monday night that juvenile offenders, instead of being fined or jailed, could be sent to military-style camps run by army instructors skilled in “motivating” people.Many, placed in a disciplined environment and pushed beyond themselves, would emerge with a quite different view, he told the Police Foundation, an independent research group.Diver finds wreckage LONDON (AP) — A diver found the fuselage of the helicopter that plunged into the English Channel off the Scilly Isles, killing 20 people in Britain’s worst helicopter crash, the Royal Navy reported Monday night.A spokesman who declined to be named said the fuselage contained bodies of the victims who died in Saturday’s disaster._ Salvage experts said earlier Monday they picked up a signal believed to be from the Sikorsky S-61’s emergency beacon that pinpointed where the wreckage was lying on the seabed.Greenpeace draws plan BRIGHTON, England (Reuter)—Conservationists accused whaling countries Monday of drawing up a secret plan to sabotage a ban on whaling.The environmental group Greenpeace said in a statement the plan would permit any country with a coastal whaling industry to carry out “subsistence” whaling after an International Whaling Commission ban on all commercial whaling comes into effect in 1986.The commission voted for the ban last year, but Japan, the Soviet Union, Norway and Peru opposed it.Joyal visits Morocco RABAT (AFP) — Serge Joyal, Canadian secretary of state, began a four-day visit to Morocco on Monday, visiting Prime Minister Maati Bouabid for discussions on

Environmental impact hearings on Hydro-Québec’s controversial Des Cantons export project picked up Monday where they left off last month, but there was one exception to the disagreements that heve dogged the Commission des audiences publiques su;- l’environnement (BAPE): all pa.des present seem to agree that the special ‘inter-ministerial’ committee set up in the meantime to choose an alternative “route of least impact’’ will be a waste of time.Spokesmen for Hydro Québec said the Crown corporation would not suggest an alternative route, as did an official of the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources.The Agriculture Ministry will participate on the committee but will not recommend any route at all.The Environment Ministry will sit in on the meetings but only as observers.And new BAPE hearings will be held if a new route appears from some other quarter.Clearing the air, BAPE President Utilities Row, Hydro-Québec’s panel of experts, answerded questions concerning export of surplus James Bay electricity at meetings in Sherbrooke Monday.Shady farm takeover triggers $2.3 Million lawsuit By Ari Vineberg ST-JEAN-BAPTISTE-DE-ROUVILLE —Dairy farm owner Paul-René Courcelle said Monday his company, Ferme Paul René Courcelle & fils, will launch a $2,225,000 lawsuit against the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce for ‘abuse of rights.’ Courcelle’s farm was seized by the Commerce January 7 when St-Hyacinthe branch manager Raymond Laliberté arrived on the premises with bank lawyer Bernard Paré and the proper documents of seizure.Laliberté told Courcelle the reason the bank seized the farm was because of a ‘lack of confidence’ in the farm’s ability to continue loan payments.“Although we still owed the bank $683,000 ,our farm was a profitable, viable farm,” said Courcelle who also added that “our credit was at 60 per cent of what it was authorized to be and we were not late for one payment.” After the bank seized the farm it hired the accounting firm Samson et Belair Inc.to take over the farm’s management.Since then it has been in a shambles, says Cdurcelles.His son Jean-Pierre was so alarmed at the way Samson & Belair were taking care of the fragile dairy cows, that he took video films of the negligent treatment they received.His film shows the impeccable condition of the barn before the takeover and the urine and manure-laden barn floor afterwards.“The bank hired inept people for the management of our farm,” said Courcelle Sr., who added that “these people had no experience with dairy cows.” The frustrating aspect of this for Courcelle Sr.is that nothing protects farmers against this type of seizure.The bank was the farm’s major creditor and was legally allowed to take such actions.Jean-Claude Boucher, spokesman for the Quebec farm survival movement, said that “this case is one among many.” “Bank managers don’t understand the problems of farmers.They force farmers to sell.This has been going on for years and years,” said Boucher.He added that this is the main reason the farm survival movement has been lobbying in Ottawa for passage of Bill C-653, which outlines a system where the courts would arbitrate between the creditors and the farmers.“We’ve been fighting for one and a half years for this law," said Boucher, who adds that “I think that it will pass this time around.” The Courcelles family lawyer, Gilles Rheaume, has had previous experience with farm cases and feels that his clients “will get an out-of-court settlement.” The lawsuit is based on section 1053 of the Civil Code under ‘damages and interest’ and ‘abuse of rights.’ “People don’t believe this type of thing could possibly happen,” says Courcelle Sr.who adds that “all the farmers are worried now.” The Commerce, which is still in charge of the farm, has sold all the cows and the farm machinery and to Courcelle Sr.’s consternation, “has not even told us what prices they got for all the machinery and livestock.” For now, the Courcelles are getting unemployment insurance, but according to Courcelle’s youngest son Guy, “if there is justice, the farm will be returned.” Arson suspected in blaze SHERBROOKE(AV) — “As soon as the police and firemen leave here, we’ll pull up our shirtsleeves and get back to work,” said Jean Roy on Monday after a criminal fire damaged the Mena-’Sen office building on Dufferin street.The building houses the offices of Morin, Roy, et associes and the Centre Communautaire Juridique de l’Es-trie.Damages are estimated to be $100,000.A suspect will appear in court Tuesday morning concerning this incident.The fire paralysed the operations of both the evaluators of the Morin firm and the lawyers for the Centre juridique.It is still im- possible to say what repercussions the fire will have on the 75 people that work in the building.Roy is co-proprietor of the office building and of the Morin, Roy et Associes firm.He was called to the scene at around 6a.m.“A very thick smoke was coming out of all the windows,” he said.The smoke originated from the basement of the building where the fire is believed to have been started, and caused problems for Fire Station 1 under the direction of Captain Gerard Boudreau.It took firemen 15 minutes to put out the blaze but they remained on the scene for hours after verifying Townships talk SHERBROOKE — The Sherbrooke office of the Jeputy Minister of Labour

entered no plea at his arraignment on a charge of breaking and entering a dwelling on the property of Rosemary Gage, in Pigeon Hill, April 13.Claude Hamann chose jury trial and the preliminary hearing was fixed, for the form, to August 19, SWEETSBURG WARD (JM) —Jean Proulx,of Eastman, was freed of a charge of possession of stolen goods at the completion of his preliminary hearing.that everything was properly extinguished.After the fire had been extingiushed, inspector Michel Richer of the Prevention department and detective Normand Lambert of the criminal inquiry department of the Municipal Police began their investigations.A suspect was arrested on the scene, one of the curious who had come to see the fire, only shortly after the blaze.The suspect, 31, will appear in court today.Information obtained from firemen indicates that all the offices had been ‘visited.’ It appears, however, that the suspects visits were motivated by curiosity rather than theft as nothing had been stolen from the various offices that had been visited.The individual entered the building by breaking a door window in the bac k.After a previous breaking and entering at the Mena-Sen building, the owners took measures to insure that this would not happen again.They had installed an iron door in the back of the building and were taking stops also to have an alarm system installed.As of Monday, nobody was able to estimate the total losses incurred by the fire.One thing however is for certain; the damage caused by the smoke, heat and fire will undoubtedly surpass $100,000.André Beauchamp told the 50-odd persons present at the hearing that he was satisfied that Environment Minister Adrien Ouellette had stopped any possible attempt to bypass the pu blic hearings.With a smile, he refused to comment on the cabinet intrigues that led to forming the special committee June 22.“And in any case, any route submitted to cabinet for approval will come from the Environ ment Ministry, nowhere else — this is clear.” Questioners at Monday’s session wanted information on the massive project’s real costs, on the dangers to children playing near the planned 2000-megawatt lines, on the civil responsibility of Hydro-Québec towards residents living near but not directly under them, and on the possibility of compensation for municipalities whose tax bases would be reduced by it.Hydro officials replied that there is no way to calculate the real costs of the line without building it.They said it is impossible to compare actual figures for the different potential routes under study.They said there will be no danger to children because the lines will be more than 50 feet above the ground at all points.But Hydro lawyer Gilles Marchand said that, in any case, most injuries arising from contact with high voltage lines “are the fault of the person, not of Hydro.” Marchand also said Hydro feels no responsibility for civil damages caused beyond the rights-of-way for its transmission lines.University of Sherbrooke law faculty vice-dean Mi- chel Poirier replied that under article 407 of the Civil Code Hydro could be held responsible for damages caused to anyone, wherever he lived, if Hydro could be shown to be at fault.He suggested that landowners who felt the lines caused them damage should sue — and would probably win.Hydro officials also said the utility has no plans to compensate municipalities under the lines for lost real estate taxes.Project director Florian Melançon said Hydro pays three per cent of its revenues to the provincial government instead and it is up to the government to distribute it.Hydro officials said electricity from the massive Churchill Falls development in Labrador costs $3 per megawatt hour, while the New En gland Power Pool will be paying "about $40” per megawatt hour for power exported through the Eastern Townships.Hydro financial planner Bernard Guertin said the Des Cantons project, at a cost of several hundred million dollars, would "pay for itself completely within a year-and-a-half, two years at the most.” Hydro answers sometimes confused questioners and the public both Asked if another project in the same corridor would have to go through another set of hearings, lawyer Marchand said “if the law is the same and the project in question would be subject to that law, therre would be processes to go through.Impatient, BAPE special commissioner Peter Jacobs interrrupted to say: “He means ‘yes’.” The hearings continue tonight.Gun-wielding alien nabbed near Hereford Lawyer Gilles Rheaume (left) and Paul-René Courcelle (right) feel they will get an out of court settlement.SHERBROOKE —A young New England woman spent the night in Jail after a bizarre incident Monday in which she apparently entered Canada illegally and then waved a loaded rifle in the faces of a pair of policemen who asked her to explain herself.Johanne Morais, 18, of Beecher Falls, Vermont, was charged with attempted armed •car theft, using a .243 calibre rifle, waving it at the cops and illegal entry into Canada.She was jailed overnight awaiting a bail hearing today.Morais was arrested by Québec Police Force detective Jac- ques Filion and RCMP officer Roch Campeau in a wooded area near East Hereford, Québec, adjacent to Beecher Falls.Morais had apparently tried to steal a car at gunpoint from Charles Peloquin of East Hereford.He refused, evaded her and called police.Agreement promises Fleurimont top-notch coverage By Robert Palmer SHERBROOKE1— Negotiations to have Sherbrooke police patrol the municipality of Fleurimont, which began one year ago, ended Monday with ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Mayor Pelletier and top police officials.After Pelletier cut the ribbon drawn across Galt Street east, a police car drove ceremoniously across the Sher-brooke-Fleurimont line, officially marking the beginning of the city’s patrol of the municipality.According to Captain Rolland Rousseau, head of the detectives’ division of the force’s criminal investigation detail and a 44-year veteran of the force, a total of 11 men have been hi- red to patrol the municipality.One more detective has been added and a additional patrol car has been purchased.Rousseau says the extra manpower, which has not been assigned exclusively to Fleurimont but will operate with the rest of the force on a rotational system, will enable the Sherbrooke force to provide Fleurimont, a municipality of nearly 12,000 people, with the same services presently provided in the city.“They (Fleurimont) will be treated exactly the same as the people in Sherbrooke.We will provide 24-hour service and everything that goes with that.” Rousseau promises the same treatment for all offenses, from cri- min il activity to parking tickets.The policing agreement is a five-year contract signed by both the city and the municipality.Under its terms, Fleurimont is subsidizing the cost of the extra manpower and must give six months notice should it decide to withdraw from the agreement.The city’s sectors have been enlarged as part of the agreement and the number of men patroling Fleurimont will increase proportionately in the next few years as the municipality grows in population.According to Rousseau, it is a matter of demand.“At the present time, we’ll handle it as it is.If the demand for more police increases, we will likely expand to fill that demand.’’ Soon.Rousseau says, offenses eommited in Fleurimont will be handled by the Sherbrooke courts as part of the agreement.Although the agreement has been signed and police began patroling the municipality Monday, Rousseau says there is still much work to be done.“There’s still a lot of work to be done yet.We want to work with the municipality and get to know the people there.” As for how the people of Fleuri mon feel about having their municipality policed by Sherbrooke, Rousseau believes his forces’ presence is what people want “I think everybody wants it and I believe it is good for Fleurimont.” Refurbished diner offers ecclesiastical-minded menu An old landmark has been refurbished and appears to be doing a roaring business in Sweet-sburg with the official opening of La Cantine du Bedo Saturday.Originally opened some 30 to 40 years ago as Bill’s Diner, it flourished under Bill Stowe and company, but later went below periscope depth after it was sold and/or leased as a submarine outlet.Now, however, all things look skyward with the friar on the bell rope heading up to munchies on the roof of the log cabin.The name ties into another landmark, Henry Pollender has been ringing the bell in Ste.Rose de Lima Church across the road for 32 years in his role as sexton, and, at the same time, serves as a night watchman during his prayer vigils.Henry turns 57 later this month and recently retired after 42 years service, first with Southern Canada Power and later Hydro-Quebec.mu, Roland and Giselle Savoie got title to the diner when they started operating the adjacent Brasserie Munika a few years ago and finally took things in hand expanding and cleaning up the operation, long the early morning coffee stop for transport drivers, mailmen, hung-over journalists and the like back about 16 years ago.The menu has a certain ecclesiastical flair, apparently not encouraging the ire of Father Bernard Menard, pastor of Ste.Rose, as their equivalent of a Big Mac has been dubbed the “Bedo Special” a three-decker burger, the regular all dressed job is “Le Petit Bedo” while m&r only rates “Le Sacristan.” Roland reports the good father has enjoyed the fare and the flair.Fortunately Henry only acts as a consultant — he has more than a predeliction at home insisting all his burgers be made from ground New York Syrup and sawdust BY JOHN McCAGHEY Sirloin — a definite no-no if you plan on serving the budget-minded public.They start pouring coffee at 5:30 a m., Monday through Friday, at 6:30 on Saturday, and 8 on the Lord’s Day.Le Bedo rings down for the night at 11 Monday through Thursday, at 2 a m.Friday and Saturday, and at blessed 11 Sunday night.One of the daily specials is barbecue chicken done on the spot und they're also available for take-out.Roland said he was really surprised at the amount of business since day 1 ; of course they had a slight delay before the official opening while they tried to track down "Daddy Ixmg Legs" to perform for the kiddies.It’s cozy, comfortable, clean, with fast, pleasant bilingual service and good food Bill Stowe will undoubtedly appreciate what Giselle and Roland have done when he gets around to popping intohisold stamping grounds.Sorry Bill,forgot to check the doughnuts!
