Estab lishment of a federal fund to help dairymen subsidize the price of exported powdered milk was described Monday by the Food Prices Review Board as another example of political expediency The board was com menting in a prepared statement on the announcement last Thursday by the Canadian Dairy Commission, sole pur chasing and marketing agent for milk The commission collected 45 cents a hundredweight from producers between April 1 and June 30 to help cover the losses incurred in finding export markets for surplus milk powder This was raised to 90 cents July 1.bringing protests from pro vincial dairy groups Most opposition came from the Quebec Industrial Milk Producers’ Association, which refused to collect the full amount The commission an nounced a 25-cents-a hundredweight refund, retroactive to July 1, as well as establishment of an “ex port equalization fund ” WOULD GET LOAN This will be used for subsidies when the dairy commission makes sales at less than the floor price set by the government If there is not enough money in the fund, established with the money collected so far from producers, the government will loan the fund money The maximum deficit will be $40 million over a five-year averaging period If the fund incurs a larger deficit, the levy will be increased Canada exported about $55.3 million worth of powdered milk in 1974 The review board statement said the com mission's latest move, which had the agriculture CNTU urges boycott to force Cowansville strike settlement department’s authorization, confirms the board's con cernthat short term political expediency remains the basis for national dairy policy “The pressure tactics of the producers have evidently been well rewarded.” it said “This announcement ap pears to be another example of Canadian agricultural policy based on the principle that the squeaky wheel gets the grease ” query interest The board said there is a danger that Canadian tax payers may l>e called on to subsidize the exported milk powder This was I>ecause there was no guarani et» that producers’ contributions would repay any deficit As well, the board noted that no specific interest rate was mentioned when the commission said government loans would be used to cover a deficit “The board is of the view that taxpayers are entitled to know whether the government is contemplating a further, hidden subsidy to producers through use of low-interest-rate loans.” It also said the commission had failed to explain whether the cost of storing milk powder while export markets are sought will be borne bv the new fund Portuguese tensions rise LISBON (AP) - Radical soldiers of a rebellious artillery unit rejected President Francisco da Costa Gomes's call for military discipline and said they will use their guns to protect Portugal’s “oppressed classes.” Soldiers of the 1st Light Artillery Regiment (RALLIS), stationed on the outskirts of the capital, were cheered by a Communist-led crowd of several thousand when a soldier climbed on a guardhouse rooftop Monday and shouted: “We have voted to be always on the side of the people We are ready to use our arms to protect the oppressed classes.” But spokesmen for the artillery unit said RALLIS doesn't want civil war, and two soldiers on the guardhouse rooftop held a large red banner saying: “No to Civil War.” DENOUNCED BY PARTY Late Monday, the Socialist party issued a statement de nouncing efforts by “certain sectors” to use the RALLIS demonstration to “throw workers against workers and soldiers against soldiers ” The Socialists asked “all the soldiers of RALLIS.among who are Socialist militants and sympathizers, to maintain calm ” “An enormous provocation of the working class is under way (and is) trying to use the soldiers of RALLIS as a launching pad for that provocation.” In the northern city of Oporto, an estimated 25.(KKi persons, including 3.000 soldiers, marched peaceably Monday night in a demon st rat ion organized bv the radical-left enlisted-men's movement.Soldiers United Victorious, which seeks an alliance between workers and soldiers Earlier in the day, several persons were injured when soldiers fired rubber bullets to disperse a crowd gathered outside an army barracks ( ALLS FOR STRIKE The 200,000-man metal workers’ union, which elected Communists to leadership posts last Saturday, called for a nationwide strike today.In a newspaper advertisement Monday announcing the strike, the union said: “If the hourgeosie wants war.let’s fight ” The RALLIS unit has become the symbol of the government’s inability to restore discipline in the armed forces MONTREAL (CP) - The Confederation of National Trade Unions (CNTU ) called Monday for a province-wide boycott of products from Molson Breweries to force a settlement of a strike at a Molson-owned furniture factory in Cowansville, 45 miles east of Montreal CNTU spokesman Michel Chartrand said Vilas Fur niture was keeping its 364 employees in a state of modern slavery.He said wages of between $90 and $117 a week were paid to the workers, mostly older men.according to their working speed Pressure to increase output often resulted in accidents, he said “For example, the men in the milling department have a 50 per cent accident rate with cuts to hands and fingers,” Mr Chartrand said “The company has a record of five worker deaths one of which it was held criminally responsible for.” The men.on strike since July 29.are seeking an hourly increase of $1.95, retroactive over two years, cost-of-living adjustments, a 40-hour work week and the right to refuse to work on defective machines, as well as the erasure of disciplinary measures from an em ployee’s record after six months.They also want the abolition of a bonus plan, which rewards workers according to production speed, to be replaced by an hourly rate tied to a 40 per cent across-the-board bonus for all employees, regardless of work output Mr Chartrand said a worker with 20 years experience currently gets an average of $2 60 an hour Conciliation talks broke down last week in the dispute Mr Chartrand said the province wide boycott has already been given support bv several unions affiliated with the CNTU Quebec in focus Postal union accuses board of tampering WASHINGTON (AP The United States Congress goes to work today on tax-cut proposals, including a $28 billion tax slash put forth by President Ford who called it “the biggest single tax cut in our history.” As the House of Representatives ways and means committee takes up the tax-cut proposals, some Democrats doubt it can meet Ford's request for a $28-billion reduction in govern ment spending to match his proposed tax cut The committee, where all tax legislation originates, also was considering proposals for individual cuts in the $8 billion to $12-billion range for individuals, compared with the $20 7-billion Ford proposed in his broadcast speech Monday night Ford also proposed $7 billion in business-tax reductions A1 Ullman (Dem Ore ), ways and means chairman, said Monday night the committee’s drafts will bear little similarity to Ford’s The developing debate centres on whether to extend or expand tax reductions which expire at the end of this year The cuts approved earlier this year totalled $18 1 billion for individuals tax cut proposed by Ford Republican Leader Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania said “We in the Congress can earn this reduction for the taxpayers by accepting the fact that spending has got to be curtailed Otherwise, a tax reduction bill is a can didate for a veto.” Ford said that if his in dividual spending reductions were enacted, a family of four with income of $14,000 would get a tax reduction of $412, or 27 per cent of its tax bill INCREASE PROPOSED He proposed increasing the personal deduction to $1,000 a person from $750 and increasing the standard deduction, used bv those who do not itemize on their tax return, to $1,800 for a single person, $2,500 for a married couple Ford also proposed reducing corporate income tax rate to 46 per cent from 48 and making permanent the 10-per-cent investment credit in force for this year This credit goes to businesses investing in productive equipment “I will go forward with the tax cuts only if there is a clear affirmative decision by your representatives in the House and Senate that they will hold spending next year to $395 billion,” Ford said Unless this is done.Ford said spending would soar $28 billion above this figure He said his proposal would be an important step toward balancing the federal budget in three years Estimates of this year's budget deficit range upward of $68 billion Adams said much govern ment spending is locked up in programs like Social Security, unemployment compensation, veterans’ benefits and food stamps, which under law require automatic appropriations Congress could reduce these items by amending the basic permanent legislation, which would require extensive debate if lawmakers were willing to do it, Adams said OTTAWA (CP) — The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has ac cused the federal treasury board of tampering with a conciliation report prepared to deal with their contract dispute The report, prepared by Judge Jean Moisan of the Quebec Superior Court, was handed to the public service staff relations board last Friday However, the official reporting day was delayed until today for editing, translation and repro duct ion The 22,(KK)-member union can legally strike seven days after the report is officially given to the board CUPW president Joe Davidson said in a statement Monday that the union’s nominee to the three man conciliation board had been invited to a meeting to discuss changes to the re port “There was evidence during conciliation that Judge Moisan was under heavy pressure from treasury board and this last minute change of heart sug gests he still is being sub jected to absolutely dishonest and unacceptable pressuring, he said UNION COPIES ISSUED Mr Davidson said the union nominee had already prepared a minority report based on Judge Moisan’s findings and had given copies of his submission, and that of Judge Moisan, to the union Mr Davidson said any at tempt to change the original report “will prove once ard for all that the conciliation process is nothing but another tool of the govern ment to shaft its em ployees ” Jacob Finkelman, chairman of the staff relations board, which has responsibility for the con ciliation process in the public service, said he had no comment on the charges Postmaster-General Bryce Mackasey, who said he had not seen the report, described the statements as serious allegations that reflected upon the integrity of Judge Moisan and Mr Finkelman Mr Mackasey said it was possible that Judge Moisan may have tried to clarify some points.It would be logical to contact the other members of the board on them if this were the case, he said The postmaster general has said he would accept the conciliation report as the basis for a settlement if the union also would accept it Inside today BIRTHS & DEATHS CLASSIFIED COMICS EDITORIAL FAMILY

such as Social Security benefits, veterans’ payments and food stamps Ford, however, said Monday he will “not hestiate to veto any legislation passed by the Congress which violates the spirit” of his proposed dollar for dollar trade-off between tax relief and spending cuts “What he’s saying is not realistic,” said Chairman Brock Adams < Dem Wash ) of the House budget com mittee However.Senate ¦ "How long have © 1975 ly me you been an Sinai?” observer in the DUBLIN (AP) — The family of kidnapped Dutch industrialist Tiede Herrema was reported waiting today for a telephone call from his captors seeking to make a new deal for his release Dutch Embassy sources said a member of the gang lhat kidnapped Herrema Friday telephoned his son.Jelle, at the embassy Monday and quoted a “pel family nickname” that could only have been known to the abducted businessman The kidnappers had de manded the release of three Irish Republican Army prisoners—Rose Dugdale.Kevin Mallon and Jim Hyland—by Sunday or Herrema would be killed The Irish government refused and the deadline passed without word on Herrema’s fate The informants said young Herrema asked the caller Monday whether the kid nappers want ransom and he was told “It’s not a matter of money.” The sources said the caller promised to telephone Jelle at the em bassy again today The London Daily Mail quotes 26-year-old Jelle as saying “I’m confident my father is alive, good health well and in “I know in what part of Ireland my father is being kept But I can’t say where it is.or give any other details, because I don t want to give away any information at this crucial stage.” The younger Herrema has kept a round the-clock vigil by the phone for three days while Irish police combed the country in vain for his father and the kidnappers, believed to be an IRA splinter group Job-finding agency MONTREAL (CP)—The Quebec government should establish a neutral job finding agency for the province’s 147, 000 construction workers to end the “shameless exploitation” of workers by their own union officials, the Centrale des Syndicats Démocratiques (USD) urged Monday.“Qualified workers should be assigned to jobs by a neutral body, operating independently of the major unions.” said CSD president Paul Emile Dalpe.Construction workers currently rely on union run hiring halls for jobs, Mr Dalpe said, since construction firms list available jobs with the unions As a result, halls run by one union will not offer jobs to members of other groups, he said, and workers also occasionally bribe union officials for jobs Expropriations QUEBEC (CP)—An extra $1, 990,000 in indemnities will be paid to about 900 persons whose lands were expropriated for inclusion in Forillon National Park, Public works Minister William Tetley announced Monday The extra compensation follows recommendations by Quebec’s ombudsman that the original amounts paid by the province be increased by 50 per cent in the case of wooded lots and by 25 per cent for expropriated buildings, plus interest in both cases The new park is located on Forillon Peninsula at the eastern tip of the Gaspe Peninsula Expropriations for the park have been a subject of controversy ever since they began in 1970 Monday’s announcement covers those cases in which the expropriated persons had previously accepted government compensation offers Many have since said they submitted to government offers because of threats and trickery More than 100 persons who refused to knuckle under took their cases to the Quebec Public Services Board and to the courts where they won their cases Waterloo escape MONTREAL (CP) — Quebec Provincial Police were searching for two prisoners Monday who escaped from medium security institutions during the weekend é Robert Anthony

Dick Van Dyke made a movie about an artist in Paris whose paintings never sell until he’s believed dead Then his work transforms into masterpieces and everyone scrambles for them With all due respect, one begins to wonder if the 1973 death of Jim Croce has set a herd of lenrechauns to work repacka^ .ig his most ancient material with hopes of spinning gold from vinyl It seems more of Croce’s work has appeared after his death than before and there’s still another LP by him coming, this one a two-record set Entitled “The Faces I’ve Been”, it is an anthology culled from his pre-1971 material and is largely remakes of hits from the 50s Croce’s abilities as an artist were growing with each album He was tragically silenced just as he was polishing off his rougher spots Sometimes, people expose a lot of new ones by rummaging out embryonic tapes the singer had never meant to be released or was glad had been forgotten Buffy Sainte-Marie has taped eight segments of PBS-TV’s Sesame Street program The Indian folk artist is expected to perform several tracks from her upcoming debut on ABC Records Interesting sort of band providing the sounds at a party in Peter Seller’s Hollywood abode Bill Wyman on bass, Ronnie Wood on lead guitar, Bobby Keyes on tenor sax.Keith Moon at the organ (yes.organ), David Bowie on alto sax and Joe Cocker throw mg his heart up for you In the studio with jazz bassist Stanley Clarke are Jeff Beck, Carlos Santana and John Mclaughlin Winners Never Lose Far too many business heads saw red reading sagging sales figures earlier this year, but the recording industry will just have to settle for matching last year’s $2 2 billion finale And that, mind you, reflects an unexpected 6 per cent decline in the 594 million albums and tapes sold in 1974 Flying Burrtto Brothers just finished their first album since their reconciliation Rick Wakemau’s English Rock Ensemble sails into the States next month propelled by a new brass section The Edgar Winter Group with Rick Derringer launches a 60-city U S, tour with the release of a new album With sex as much an element as lyrics, melody and musicianship in too many songs of late, it would be very convenient to toss Gino Vannelli into the “wham.bam.thank-you m am” category of artists like Tom Jones Vannelli’s machismo and olive skin, compliments of his Mediterranean descent, do appear to set more hearts aflutter than his music And he could be accused of pandering to those excesses with the now-classic display of male vanity — the tight bodyshirt unbuttoned to the navel revealing a hairy chest and gold medallion “Oh.I realize the sex image may turn a lot of people off,’’ he concedes Some people may see only that and refuse to listen to my music But it can also work the other way, too Some people turned on by the image 4irst may give the music a chance later, people who may never listen to me at all until they see me in concert or on TV ’* (The verdict’s still out on that point Asked what she thought of Vannelli’s music after one of his performances, a young woman^said matter-of-factly, “With a body like his, who cares'*’’) Vannelli hails from Canada’s La belle Province where he got his start playing drums in a few bands around Montreal His first album, “Powerful People” on A&M Records, was produced by that label’s Chief Exec no less, Herb Alpert, and was nominated this year for a Grammy His second, “Storm at Sunup” is moving briskly up the charts and captured the attention of Stevie Wonder, who asked Vannelli to open a few of Stevie's shows Vannelli’s crunch blend of jazz-pop and Stevie Wonder-like melodies qualifies him for FM radio progressive stations and AM’s pop formats Disco habitues think he’s divine Three ARP synthesizers, drums and an energetic conga player make Vannelli's music ideal for tripping the light fantastic His older brother.Joe, pilots one of the ARPs with an expertise that makes a Vannelli concert worthwhile if just for the instrumentation But Vannelli's stud image on stage may make it difficult for jaded critics to take him seriously “Which really isn’t fair,’’ he says “What I do on stage is real My appearance is all real,’’ he says from beneath a crown of Louis XlV-like curls “I don’t set my hair, I don’t use makup and how I move on stage is no choreographed production — it’s all real ” At age 23, Vannelli has barely been in the business long enough to make a substantial impression but give him time Two shows at Chicago's Mr Kelly's had the place bulging with fans In New Orleans, six women literally fainted — though promoters quibble over whether it was Vannelli’s sexuality or the crush of the mob At his recent opening in Los Angeles, there were as many celebrities in the audience as OPs (Ordinary Persons) Is he just another pretty face or an artist in his own right'* A lot of both, it seems Quote/Unquote What people are saying.I think it is important in terms of the morality of our country, our way of life and the things we believe in to say that it really is beyond the power of the President to order assassination — Attorney General Edward H.Levi, on the recent publicity surrounding CIA
