Premier Yitzhak Rabin said there is a “real chance” for an interim settlement but that Israel will not settle for an accord at any price.“If Egypt is ready to leave behind the vicious cycle of war and rise to the level of peace, it will find in Israel a travelling companion.” Rabin said.Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev has criticized Kissinger for trying to put together “partial agreements” in the Middle East and insists instead on an early resumption of the Geneva peace talks.Vorster makes secret visit LONDON (AP) — The London Times says South African Prime Minister John Vorster made a secret

Review Board, said Thursday there is reason to be optimistic that food prices in Canada won t con tinue to rise over the long run “The short term prospect is lor continuing high rates of food price increases,” she told a seminar on consumer problem^ sponsored by the Conference Board in Canada “The longer term is unclear, but there is room for optimism.” She said lowering the inflation rate and good harvests could bring an immediate drop in food prices “If we have positive results in both these respects, then the present rate of increase in food prices can be expected to moderate significantly as the year goes on ” She said recent figures on the consumer price index that showed the lowest increase in food prices since October.1973 were encouraging “but should not be regarded as a trend.” REASON FOR HOPE Mrs.Plumptre said there were “ some glimmerings of hope ’ that the fight against inflation is being won World prices for industrial commodities had declined substantially from 1974 peaks Canadian industry selling prices in many sectors were rising less rapidly than in the first half of 1974 “Any slowing down of industry prices is bound, even- Ottawa to deal with industry price increases tually, to filter through and affect the momentum of retail food prices as well ” Ae said Canadians don t have to worry about food shortages, although imports account for about 17 per cent of the national consumption Although Canadians spent only 19 per cent of their incomes on food—compared to 30 per cent for Europeans— there was firm resistance to high prices, and Canadians were becoming “very adept at the art of careful shopping.” She warned the food industry that consumers also are seeking more detailed information on the foods they buy “Instead of meaningless slogans, they will respond to straightforward, hard information on food prices and nutrition.” TORONTO (CP) — Norman Cafik, parliamentary secretary to Consumer Affairs Minister Andre Ouellet.said Thursday a bill will be introduced in Parliament within two months to deal with the most flagrant cases of high price increases by industry Mr Cafik made the remark in an interview after telling 250 delegates to a Conference Board in Canada seminar that the public is concerned about the relationship between the cost and price of products He told delegates that al though it was an “impossible dilemma” to resolve the rela tionship.the government would attempt to do it The vehicle would be a bill titled the Price Justification Act that would be a toned-down version of the anti-profiteering legislation that failed to pass the last Parliament Mr Cafik said in the interview he expects little difficulty in getting approval of the new bill because “it is much more workable than the first one.” In the interview, he gave some details on what the government would attempt to do in the legislation DEMAND FACTS The bill would enable the government to demand all the facts in cases where it felt industry was “taking advantage of a situation.” For example, the bill would have enabled the government to investigate the situation last fall when the price of antifreeze rose abnormally in the face of what was described as severe shortages The bill would provide for a price freeze, or a rollback of prices if the investigation proved they were unjustified It would also establish a tribunal before which industry could appear to justify any increase.Mr Cafik declined to comment on the make-up of such a tribunal He admitted the new bill w as a form of control, but said it would only aim at dealing on a “selective basis” with what appeared to be unjustified price increases at both the w holesale and producer level “In that way.on a selective basis, we can cope with the relationship between price and cost without trying to resolve the whole question.” Thirteen-year low in auto industry DETROIT kl ^ RECORD J Only English Daily m the Easfern Townships SUBSCRIPTION

neighbours chip in the funds deduction .we get a pool!" they get a tax Quit-and-tell author followed by the CIA WASHINGTON - Philip Agee, who wrote the latest quit-and-tell book about the Central Intelligence Agency, has complained that the CIA constantly watches his movements.We can confirm his complaint; we can also report what the CIA has found out about him.Sources with access to the surveillance reports say that Agee was observed meeting with Cuban intelligence agents in Paris during the 1971-72 period and that he has made four trips to Havana This is significant, say our sources, because Agee spent 10 years as a CIA field officer in Latin America.He worked against the Cuban DRI which, by formal agreement, is the intelligence arm for the Soviet KGB in most l^atin American countries.By his own admission, Agee helpixi fir ment a diplomatic break between Cuba and Ecuador, supervised operations against Cuban diplomats in Uruguay and helped monitor Soviet-Cuban contacts in South America.No ont» w ith this background could visit Cuba, our sources contend, unless he has made a deal w'ith DRI.He would have had to satisfy the Soviet-Cuban spy apparatus that he not only was divulging full information about his past CIA activities but that ht» was not a double agent seeking to ingratiate himself with the opposition, our sources say Agee has said he turned against the CIA because it was "promoting fascism around the world.” As a CIA operative, he felt ht» was partly responsible for the brutal tortures that various Latin American police practiced their political prisoners.Thus caused him to break w ith the CIA and become an ardent socialitf.ht* has said.He has now settled in Cornwall, Eng land, whore he completed bus b»x>k exposing the CIA.Our sources acknowledge that the txxik, which describes his life in the (TA and names his former Cl A colleagues.is substantially accurate.Because of his CIA training.Agee has developed into a skilled spy who ls difficult, say ixir sources, to keep under surveillance We reached Agee in Toronto where he is promoting hts book He confirmed that he usually has managed to give the CIA the slip Their street surveillance, he said, was ‘‘sloppy.’' Once in Parts, an attractive woman named Leslie Donegan loaned him a hug ged typewriter, he said It contained an electronic device which the CIA could Jack Anderson’s v Wushinglon ^ « informants, who incidentally are not official CIA sources, say that Agee usually traveled to Havana bv wav of Madrid s monitor This enabled agents to locate him after hi» had dixiged them.But Agee said he spotted the monitors.He confirmed that the CIA had intensified its surveillance in Paris during the 1971-72 period.He added that he is still watched As recently as last Christmas, he said, he was followed from England to Spain Once hi» came up behind one of his pur suers and caught him changing license plates, which Agee said was an old CIA trick.He was followed, he said, by a "funeral procession” of three cars.He finally shook them after they tailed him more than 100 miles from San Sebastian to the small town of Torrelavega.he said.Agee refused comment on the report that he had been seen in Paris with Cuban agents He suggested that the CIA was using us to try to fish information from him He acknowledged that lx» had mack* four trips to Havana, but he refused to go into any details about the trips .Again, hi» explained that he didn't want to provide information that might help the CIA (Xir Washington Whirl: Although the Internal Revenue Service discovered former President Nixon’s $148.000 tax debt in 1969 too late to enforce collection, Nixon promised to pay anyway.According to the 1RS.Nixon did not pay as promised.Ironically, if he had, he probably would come under an obscure 1RS ruling that permits such late, voluntary taxpayers to get refunds of the entire amount.Sea Frank Church, D Idaho, who will head the Senate investigation into CLA abuses, is lusted in "Who’s Who in the CIA.” This is a directory of CLA agents, published in Germany under Communist auspices.The truth is that Church, as a young World War II lieutenant, served with Army intelligence in Kunming, China.He was a specialist on the Japanese order of battle.At no time, however, has he ever had any' connection with the CIA.Former Sea Marlow Cook, R.-Ky., will open a Washington office for a Kansas City law firm which represents the Tobacco Institute.Until his quarters are ready, he is using the office facilities of

foliage.In surpassing grandeur rise.Mingling their tints of emerald W ith the azure of the skies Whereso er the crystal waters Of old Memphremagog roll.Scenes of beauty, richly varied.Meet the eye and cheer the soul But the evening - the still evening With her misty veil of grey.Adorns, in choicest drapery’.This quiet little bay How oft have I at twilight.When the busy dav was o’er.Launched forth my merry little boat And sailed along the shore; To hear that old musician.The softly sighing breeze.Waking such notes of melodv Among the silent trees And then my little bark would glide Out in the shining way.Like a path upon the waters Where the glittering moonbeams lay; A type of that fair city By prophets long foretold.Whose walls are made of jasper.And its streets are paved with gold.When day was slowly fading And the shades came softly down.Weaving a fairy’ garment On every object round ; I’ve sat beside some moss-clad rock When every voice was still.And naught disturbed the woodland s rest But the song of the whip-poor-will I've sat in fearful ecstacy Lest some discordant sound Should break the spell of glory That seemed to wrap me round; Till all the charming picture Was stamped upon mv heart.„ , .Leaving a sweet remembrance That will never more depart Delightful scenes - sublime to me Broad earth can not impart A spot so dear, so lovable.So cherished in my heart.As thy own waters.Magog.Thy mountains, grand and high.Festooning, with their many peaks.The borders of the sky.I love thy bays and inlets.Thy rivulets and rills; Thy verdant fields and wild wood W ith their thousand sunny hills.I love the dear old shrubbery.Each gnarled and knotty bough Of those old dusky pine trees That fringe thy rocky brow.In the happy days of childhood I've sported on thy shore.Heaping thy glittering pebbles up In many a precious store.In youth’s unclouded morning I’ve lingered near thy beach.Till in the ceaseless moaning of Thy waves.I fancied speech I've seen the broad, full harvest moon Her mantle o'er thee throw And a myriad of diamonds On thy pearly bosom glow I ve heard the brooklet s greeting When it kissed thy upturned face.And its sweet voice grew sweeter Till it sunk in thy embrace.While gazing thus enraptured.I've sighed for skill to trace The untold, latent loveliness That lights up thy broad face; Till, lost in thoughts tumultuous.The hopeless task resign.And the spirit soareth upward To muse on things divine Then, loosed from every fetter That binds the soul to clay.I seem on wings ethereal To float from earth away.To the purer,

property with Buster, his dog STRIPPED BY LOOTERS "Looters and vandals had stripped everything, even the two-by six beams holding up the roof,” Mr Casano said 'There must be a lot of summer cottages in this area that were built w ith wood from Wigwam Inn ” The men have hooked up a generator to provide power and they cut their own wood with a portable sawmill Mr Casano returns to his home each

The inn passed into receivership and looters moved in the next year For the next five years the inn was a ruin, with a crumbling roof, broken floors and doorless and windowless walls It came to life

self-sufficient VALLE de PICADURA, Cuba (CP) — Canada has contributed to the success of a plan to make Cuba self-sufficient in milk production and Ramon Castro says Cubans will be grateful forever.“W7e have to appreciate what the people of Canada did for us,” the elder brother of Cuban leader Fidel Castro said in an interview.“They sold to us when we didn’t have cattle.” He has glowing words for Canada’s decision to continue trade and diplomatic relations with Cuba following the 1959 revolution which brought Communist government to the island Many countries, led by the United States, participated in an economic blockade against the new regime.Canada, saying politics should not interfere with trade beneficial to a developing nation, has sold Cuba thousands of top-grade cows and bulls to help create a viable dairy and beef industry.Ramon Castro.49.started the program from scratch six years ago and today oversees 330 square miles of rocky hill country now transformed into lush pastures for breeding and raising cattle.BREED BETTER COWS It’s called the Picadura Valley Plan and the idea is to find, through breeding, animals that give maximum production of beef and milk.The best animals bred are shipped to other parts of the country to establish new’ herds.Since 1970, Canada has sold Cuba more than 20,000 cattle worth about $7 million.Some Canadian holsteins in the valley are valued at $15,000 each The Picadura Valley is about 40 miles east of Havana, nestled in high, palm-dotted hills overlooking the Caribbean It actually is a series of valleys and, except for the tropical plants, resembles the rolling cattle country of southern Alberta.Temperatures are cooler than at sea level and are good for cattle raising, yet warm enough for the cattle to graze outdoors 16 hours a day Grasses are being bred to find nutritional strains that can grow without much moisture.Castro directs everything in the valley, including construction of farm homes, schools and roads, and said the plan already is a success ANIMALS EXPORTED Animals bred in the valley even are being exported, mainly to Peru and North Viet Nam He said Cuban cows are good enough to compete in Canada now Canadian holsteins brought here have acclimatized, he said, and their daughters give more milk because they are totally conditioned to the tropical climate “We have proved that hoi steins can live in the tropics We now are trying for a breed from holsteins to produce half meat and half milk and resistant to the tropics ” They even are trying to breed a Canadian buffalo w ith + IF YOU HELP WECAN HELP holsteins but Castro said any success with this experiment will take time “Genetics is not a matter of two days,” said Castro, who lacks university education and who at first glance looks like a farm laborer He said that to start the plan, tons of rock had to be removed and replaced by good soil for pastures.SITE MODERNIZED Now, the valley is dotted with man-made ponds, modern cattle stations and new homes and schools for workers and their families There also is a veterinary medicine and agriculture college at which students receive a salary.Atop one of the highest hills is an elegant guest house for visiting dignitaries and Castro said he plans to build another on a neighboring hilltop But he left the distinct impression that much of this would not have been passible without the Canadian cattle needed to start and continue ;he program.“We’re going to be grateful for the rest of our lives,” he said.Only for intellectuals?Hardly.We rate intellectual achievement very high.But we know that some people are born to be thinkers, others born to be doers.There’s a big demand for both in this world.The doers may want some help in planning just what to do after leaving university.There are student advisers in every Faculty at McGill.There’s also a general counselling service open to all students.They can help plan a university career that leads to a future of doing.Deadline for applications: March 1.For information, call Miss Meta Schwartz at (514) 392-4535.cGILL.excellence in education Ybur leisure years made easier.First Canadian Retirement

By Stephen Ford NEW YORK - tNEA) -Resting a can of beer on the table in between glimpses of a football game on the television, he says.I’m not that down on Nixon I think he had a rough job And if he s guilty of anything.I don't think it's anything new He's just the first one to get caught I think I could sit down and talk with Nixon He's a diplomat, just like myself He s probably extremely charming That, believe it or not.was not some diehard defender of the former President speaking at the corner saloon That was America's infamous pervert laureate.' multimillionaire superstar Alice Cooper Behind the mascara-ringed eyes and shoulder-length hair is a mind that would flimflam P T Barnum.given the chance Now believed worth approximately $17 million and only 27 years old.Alice, formerly Vince Furnier of Phoenix.Ariz .is a pop deity guaranteed to prompt a titter or grimace from the audience of just about any talk show But in the words of Bob Greene, a journalist who traveled with the Alice Cooper show as a performing member during the 1973 Christmas tour.Cooper is a sad.sad person who did everything he could to realize the American Dream and later found it to be a nightmare.” Greene, only 27 himself, is a columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times and author of Running, a record of his impressions while covering the 1972 Nixon-McGovern presidential campaigns Two years ago.he met with Cooper s manager.Shep Gordon, to discuss the possibility of his accompanying the band for a month or so of their tour Gordon not only consented to Greene s request but even built a spot in the show for Greene to appear on stage with Alice and the other four members of the band The results of this five-week stint as superstar is Billion Dollar Babies" (Atheneum.$10).Greene's fascinating account of the pop star's ersatz life that young men lust for these days the way many of us did decades ago when daydreaming about DiMaggio or Mantle.If I had written this sort of a book 20 years ago," Greene says, it would have been on the New’ York Yankees Alice Cooper had the same sort of effect on kids as the Yankees did then I wanted to do an in-depth book on a top-of-the-heap rock band and Alice Cooper just happened to be at the top that moment." And that book sounds slightly familiar, as though you've read it all before somewhere maybe something by Goethe Greene's narrative intermittently clutches and mauls the reader's senses through most of the 364 pages He carefully records the ambience, ego conflicts, the girls and the money — oh.the money — $70 -000 for a one-nighter But despite what at first appears to be a pampered life of indiscriminate sex and all the money needed to support such decadence, the rock star's life emerges as a pathetic and pointless existence ‘ Alice is a very lonely and confused person." Greene said “He agreed to do almost anything to make if as a pop star and now’ that he's done that, he's frantically running around trying to get out of the image he's locked himself into." Lately, as part of that search for a new identity, Alice has turned up in such incongruous places as the guest host slot on the Mike Douglas Show Whether this will ease Cooper’s transformation from babychopping pusedo-sadist to roc k music’s own Ed McMahon i
