page 2 Sherbrooke Wednesday, May 29, 1985 35 cents Brome Lake cops confirm prisoner’s torture story “According to our home computer, you were out all afternoon.” By John McCaghey SWEETSBURG WARD — Robert Thompson, 30, of Waterloo, echoed his brother’s words Tuesday, repeating accusations of brutality by the Town of Brome Lake police and its chief.The Quebec Police Commission opened a hearing Monday into the affair, an alleged beating and torture incident involving David Allan Gauthier.Robert Thompson appeared as the first witness at Tuesday’s hea- ring into the conduct of police chief Alyre Thireau and Const.Mario Beaumont into the alleged beating of Gauthier at the municipal police station on March 1, 1982, and his subsequent exposure in very cold weather when he was apparently handcuffed to a steel pole on the outskirts of Brome Lake.The exposure resulted in frost bite and Gauthier’s loss of all finger- and toenails.“I was at home with my girlfriend when I had a call from Allan asking me if I could do him a great favor,” Thompson recalled.“He told me he had to stay at my place for a few days, he needed a place out of town.There was desperation in his voice.I said okay, then a French-speaking person told me in English, ‘make sure he stays there’”.MARRIED TO BROTHER “I didn’t know him very well.I’d only met him a couple of times as his sister was then married to my brother Roger.” “You say he was desperate, had you ever heard him like that before?” Commission la- wyer Pierre Cimon queried.“Never, I didn’t know him that well.I kept looking for a car but never saw one,” Thompson continued.“About a half hour later I heard a knock and went to the door.His hands were all crippled, his shoes were over his arm and his jacket was open.I told him I had to take him to the hospital but he said, ‘No, they’ll kill me.’” “I said ‘You could get gangrene’, but then it was his life so my girl friend got a basin and we bathed his feet in warm water.He was bruised all over, he had a big egg on his head, I had to cut the T-shirt off as his body was cut and had rub-burns.We made him some coffee and he asked me for a needle to lance the blisters on his fingers.I got one, sterilized it and he pushed the blisters against it to lance them.It was icky.He told me he would like to go to the hospital but he was afraid the police would kill him and said he was afraid the See

Lévesque will yield to mounting pressure for his resignation and quit as party leader June 22, Le Devoir said in a story published today.The report comes at the same time as a poll suggesting that the Parti Québécois will be trounced in four byelections next Monday.By Robert Fife OTTAWA (CP) — The Conservative government is likely to put its shares in the profitable Canada Development Corp.on the auction block today, The Canadian Press has learned.Industry Minister Sinclair Stevens confirmed Tuesday the federal government will announce the sale of one of its state-owned corporations, but refused to provide details.“It’s the sale of shares in one of the state-owned companies, a fairly big one,” Stevens said when asked why he had called a news conference for 9 a.m.EDT today.“That is as far as I can go.” However, a cabinet minister who Bangladesh DHAKA (AP) — Survivors of a killer storm in the Bay of Bengal lined up for cholera vaccinations today, corpses were pushed into mass graves and helicopters ferried water pumps in a hurried effort to prevent disease from taking more lives.A government official said that by Tuesday navy vessels, army helicopters and Red Cross rescue teams had reached all areas hit by the storm that killed thousands of people and stripped coastal areas clean of trees and homes on Saturday.Reporters saw people lining up for innoculations, and the helicopters brought in small hand pumps to restore sources of clean water.Estimates of the number killed in the storm varied widely, and the OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Brian Mulroney was corrected Tuesday by the head of the RCMP after he wrongly accused Liberal MP Bob Kaplan in the Commons of authorizing a $100,000 payment for convicted child-killer Clifford Olson in 1981.RCMP commissioner Robert Simmonds told the Commons justice committee that former B.C.attorney general Allan Williams agreed to pay Olson for directions to the graves of his young victims and an RCMP officer in Ottawa authorized the payment.Kaplan, the Liberal solicitor ge- asked to remain anonymous indicated Stevens will announce that Ottawa is selling its 48-per-cent interest in the CDC, which reported earnings of $81 million last year.It lost $45 million in 1983.Asked if it would be correct to assume that the development corporation is to be put up for sale — because only that would involve a share offer while Crown corporations would be sold outright — the minister said: “Essentially you are correct.” The corporation controls 17 subsidiaries in energy, mining, technology and venture capital investments, but 90 per cent of its cash flow comes from three firms : Can-terra Energy Ltd.of Calgary, Kidd government said it had no list of the missing.The government, which has revised its figures up and down several times, said 1,400 deaths are confirmed.The Red Cross says at least 5,000 were killed and that the figure could increase significantly.And the Bangladesh Observer newspaper said today the death toll might reach as high as 50,000, but it did not say how that estimate was reached.In Geneva, the International Red Cross quoted Ali Quoreshi of its Bangladesh chapter as saying six million people were affected by the storm and that 275,000 “have lost everything.” On Urir Char, an island where nothing was left standing, navy neral at the time, did not find out about the payoff until 16 days after it was authorized by Deputy Commissioner Henry Jensen, who was responsible for RCMP operations.Mulroney made the allegation about Kaplan’s responsibility while he was defending current Solicitor General Elmer MacKay, who is under fire for recent comments he made about a sexual harassment complaint against a former minister.“I appointed a new solicitor general because we did not want one who would go out and authorize the Creek Mines Ltd.of Timmins, Ont., and Polysar Petrochemcials Ltd.of Sarnia, Ont.MOVE EXPECTED The CDC sale has been expected, and is part of the Conservative government’s drive to privatize state-controlled companies, whether they’re profitable or not.In his budget last week.Finance Minister Michael Wilson said Crown-owned Canadian Arsenals, Teleglobe Canada and the government’s stake in the CDC would be sold to the private sector this year.Earlier this month, Ottawa sold Northern Transporation Co.Ltd.for $25 million.The government expects to make about $675 million this year Cmdr.Iqbal Mujtaba watched the mass burial of 900 people Tuesday.He said many of them had not been identified.ONE NEEDLE The Indian Express newspaper reported today that rescue workers in Urir Char used one needle to innoculate about 300 people against typhoid and tetanus.It quoted a naval officer as saying: "You cannot change the needle.We cannot afford it.God will give them resistance.” Warning of the storm had been given as early as Thursday, but the island people had “no place to go and no way to get there,” Mujtaba said.Mujtaba commands two navy ships that brought rice, beans, milk and clothing to survivors.He payment of $100,000 to a killer in British Columbia,” Mulroney said while Tory MPs applauded wildly.“People have had it up to the ears with that kind of stuff.” Kaplan immediately corrected Mulroney and, in a committee meeting later that day, accused the prime minister of mudthrowing and sought Simmonds' backing in the matter.When Simmonds confirmed that neither he nor Kaplan knew about the payment plan until days after it had been executed, Liberal MP John Nunziata said Mulroney’s accusation was “irresponsible.” from the sale of state-owned corporations, which would bring it a profit of about $350 million.About half the profit is expected to come from selling Teleglobe, which runs the country ’s profitable overseas telecommunications links.The government is also involved in negotiations with various firms interested in buying Eldorado Nuclear and two government-owned aircraft firms — Canadair and de Havilland — but it doesn't expect to sell them this year.The former Liberal government, which founded CDC in 1971, vowed to sell its interest in the corporation when stock market conditions improved.said 1,119 people were evacuated after the storm from Urir Char to nearby Sandwip, and between 4.000 and 5,000 other residents were unaccounted for.Urir Char is one of many islands formed by silt from the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghma rivers about 350 kilometres south of Dhaka.Many coastal villages also were devastated.Survivors at Charlax-mi, 16 kilometres inland, said a six-metre wall of water swept in from the bay and crushed the village, killing an estimated 3,000 of the 10.000 residents.Public health officials said they feared outbreaks of cholera, typhoid and other diseases because of contaminated drinking water and decomposing corpses.Asked after the meeting if he was aware of what Mulroney had alleged earlier in the day, Simmonds would say only that he wasn't in the Commons when the discussion occurred.The payoff, which led police to the bodies of 11 young people that Olson murdered between 1980 and 1981, was placed in a trust account for Olson’s wife and child.The B.C.Supreme Court recently ruled that the money must be divided among the 11 families.However, the hearing was told that only $64,000 remains in a Caribbean bank account.Quoting reliable sources, Le Devoir said the 62-year-old premier has asked the party executive to delay by one week a party national council meeting slated for June 15.Parti Québécois officials contac-ted early today declined to comment on the report.Le Devoir said Lévesque decided 10 days ago he could no longer ignore calls for his resignation and will step down at a meeting of the council —the PQ’s governing body — on the 25th anniversary of his election as a Liberal in the provincial government of Jean Lesage.The newspaper said the proposed new date for the national coun-> cil meeting was fixed after a week of negotiations with the premier’s office.The request for the postponement is being circulated as well among theriding associations, especially among those activists who planned to raise the issue of Lévesque’s leadership at the June 15 session.HOLD LEAD Meanwhile, a poll by the Institut Québécois d’opinion publique indicated the Liberals held at least a 20-percentage-point lead among voters surveyed between May 15 and May 24 in L’Assomption, Bertrand, Bourget and Trois-Rivieres where the byelections are scheduled.More than 1,200 residents were interviewed in the poll commissioned by the newspaper Journal de Montreal and Montreal radio station CJMS.Details of the methodology were not available, but surveys of this size generally have a margin of error of four percentage points either way, 19 times out of 20.If the PQ loses the byelections, anti-Lévesque activists said they planned to send the premier a “DearRené” letter praising his service to Quebec but bluntly telling him to quit or risk taking the party into oblivion.The activists would point to recent polls showing the Liberals leading the PQ across the province by a hefty margin.The most recent provincewide survey suggested the Liberals would have routed the PQ if an election were held in early April.Fifty-three per cent of those interviewed said they would have voted Liberal, compared with 28 per cent who favored the Parti Québécois.And in a poll conducted in January, 60 per cent of those surveyed stated Lévesque should resign in favor of heir apparent, Justice Minister Pierre Marc Johnson, son of a former premier.REFUSE TO RUN If Lévesque hasn’t indicated by June 15he intends to step down, the activists said many of the PQ assembly members would announce they will not run for re-election.Lévesque has been fighting to maintain the party’s majority in the National Assembly since he touched off a mutiny in party ranks last November by declaring the PQ should jettison independence as a platform in the next election.The declaration led to the resignation of seven cabinet ministers and several back-benchers, although his stand was ratified by a special party convention in January.Standings in the legislature aré PQ 61, Liberal 49, Independent 7 and Vacant 5.Lévesque has been criticized as well for a series of bizarre performances in public where he has given rambling speeches punctuated by questionable jokes.Senior cabinet ministers have been trying to keep a lid on the situation by reassuring dissidents there is no need to for pressure tactics.“None of this will happen,” said one minister.“Lévesque knows the situation as well as anyone.” Raynald Frechette.In total agreement PQ not about to step in — Frechette QUEBEC (CP) — The Quebec government will let the nine-month long strike at Marine Industries Ltd.drag on until the two sides are willing to compromise, Labor Minister Raynald Frechette said Tuesday.“The government has no intention of intervening on the legislative level,” Frechette told a news conference.The 1,050 workers at the Sorel shipyard 65 kilometres northeast of Montreal went on strike in August 1984, demanding a shorter work week with no reduction in salaries.A major stumbling block to settling the strike has been a union demand that seven workers dismissed after a violent incident at the shipyard last October be rehired.A report by two government-appointed mediators handed in this week recommended waiting for verdicts in the workers’ trials on assault charges before a decision is made on their future.“I am in total agreement with the report and as far as I’m concerned the strike will last as long as the parties decide not to settle it,” Frechette told reporters.Marine Industries, controlled by the Quebec government’s holding company.General Invesr tment Corp., is a major builder of ships, railway cars and other heavy equipment.The firm has lost several major contracts due to the strike.Mulroney wrongly accuses Kaplan of Olson deal storm survivors begin clean-up job 2-The RECORD—Wednesday, Itfay 29, 1985 Hoggers apply pressure as Canada looks for its own Day of Pigs By Conway Daly WINNIPEG (CP) - Canada is pressing Washington for an end to the ban imposed by three Midwest states on importing Canadian hogs, Allan Gotlieb, Canada’s ambassador in Washington, said Tuesday.Gotlieb said Canada is trying to get the U S.department of justice to apply for an injunction requiring the state laws that have been adopted in South Dakota.Iowa and Nebraska to be withdrawn.Gotlieb described the three-state ban as a protectionist measure.He argued that in international commerce, individual states do not have the right to be more restrictive than U.S.national authorities.There has been no such ban imposed at the U.S.federal level.“The problem now is being studied and the American departments, I think, are all reasonably sympathetic,” Gotlieb told reporters after speaking to a two-day conference on Manitoba’s economy.The three states say they placed the embargo on Canadian hogs because the animals contain chlo- ramphenicol.an antibiotic banned in the United States.But farmers contend the real reason is Canadian hog producers have been underselling their U.S.counterparts.“On our side, we believe this is quite clearly a trade-related matter,” said Gotlieb.“Canadians eat hogs that are treated with this antibiotic and we don’t accept that this is a genuine, legitimate medical problem.” Gotlieb noted Canada is considering imposing its own ban on about 10 antibiotics, including chloramphenicol, “but this has been in the works for some time.” He said the federal Department of Health sent a notice to interested parties in Canada, asking what would be their reaction to a ban on chloramphenicol.The drug is banned for food animal use in the United States by the federal Agriculture Department.In Canada, the drug is not used in feed but on a spot basis, under prescription from a veterinarian treating a sick animal.Hog producers from across Canada plan to meet today in Ottawa to encourage the federal gover- nment to put pressure on Washington to settle the dispute.Gotlieb told about 225 businessmen attending the conference that the unilateral action by the Midwest states “has introduced a new barrier to freer bilateral trade, to the detriment of Canadian farmers and U.S.consumers.” He said American hog producers allege that Canadian stabilization programs “amount to a direct subsidy that has interfered with the normal cyclical patterns of trade between the two countries.” But he suggested the objections arise mostly from current economic pressures on U.S.farmers."Individually, they admit these protectionist actions are irrational but in an environment of frustration they are pursuing every available avenue in an attempt to rectify their current economic problems, and they are strongly supported by politicians at the local level.” Gotlieb said Canada’s stabilization programs don’t act as stimulants to production “but only as income stabilizers as the payments occur well after sales.” By election poll: PQ will suffer big losses MONTREAL (CP) — A poll to be published today suggests the Liberals will defeat the Parti Québécois in four provincial byelections June 3, The Canadian Press has learned.The poll, conducted by the Institut Québécois d'opinion publique for the newspaper Journal de Montreal and radio station CJMS, indicates the Liberals have at least a 20-percentage-point lead over the PQ in the ridings of l’Assomption, Bertrand, Bourget and Trois-Rivières, sources have told The Canadian Press.And Andre Asselin, leader of the fledgling Quebec Conservative Party, could squeak into second place behind the Liberals in Trois-Rivières, edging out PQ candidate Denis Taillon, the poll suggests.The survey indicates that in Bertrand, where Liberal Leader Robert Bourassa is making his first bid for a seat in the National Assembly since he lost power in the 1976 provincial election, 55 per cent favor the 51-year-old economist while 25 per cent support PQ candidate Francine Lalonde, minister responsible for the Status of Women.The poll suggests that Union Nationale Leader Jean Marc Beli-veau would place third behind PQ candidate Jacques Lessard.The number of respondents to the poll and its margin of error were not immediately available.If the PQ loses the byelections, it would bring to 26 the number of byelection losses they have suffered since gaining power in 1976.The vacancies were created when four PQ members resigned their seats after the party decided to jettison independence as a platform in the next provincial election.Standings in the house are now: PQ 61.Liberal 49, Independent 7 and Vacant 5.Pope trial: Star witness playing with justice?ROME (AP) — Defence lawyers say the erratic behavior of Mehmet Ali Agca during the papal plot trial shows the state’s star witness has “been fooling with Italian justice for three years.” In the first two days of the trial, Agca, 27, has claimed he was Jesus Christ, predicted the end of the world and refused to say where he got the pistol he used to wound Pope John Paul in St.Peter's Square on May 13, 1981.Today’s session opened with testimony by Omer Bagci, one of four Turkish defendants in the trial.He spoke about the pistol he allegedly gave Agca.After Tuesday’s session, lawyer Giuseppe Console, who represents the only detained Bulgarian defendant, said of Agca : “This is a man who has been fooling with Italian justice for three years.” “He has been playing with innocent people who are in jail because of this fellow’s lies,” Consolo said.Agca was called to testify against three Bulgarians and four Turks charged with conspiracy in connection with the shooting of the Pope.All seven defendants face life sentences.BULGARIA ACCUSED Antonio Albano, the prosecutor who brought the indictments, maintains that Bulgaria, possibly with Soviet support, masterminded the plot to help stop unrest in the Pope’s native Poland.The Soviet Union and Bulgaria have repeatedly denied East Bloc involvement.On Tuesday, the Soviet news agency Tass said Agca had so badly damaged his credibility that the trial should be halted immediately.Somebody pushed wrong button at the wrong time • WINNIPEG (CP) - Police in Winnipeg and Ontario are trying to discover how X-rated sex scenes found their way into an antiabortion film distributed by antiabortion activist Joe Borowski.Borowski, spokesman for Alliance Against Abortion, said the sex scenes were discovered by one of his helpers after most of the tapes had been sent to local hospitals, three Roman Catholic Archbishops, Premier Howard Pawley and others.“One of the ladies in the office sat down to watch the tape,” said Borowski, a spokesman for Alliance Against Abortion.“She was horrified because after about 10 minutes there were these scenes of nudity, semi-nudity, simulated sex and all kinds of things.“She came running to me and said: ‘I think there’s something wrong with the film’.” Borowski said 36 VHS and Beta-format videotapes of the controversial film were ordered from a Toronto distributor earlier this month.Only the 15 Beta-format tapes were affected.Borowski said it appeared that six minutes of smut had been edited into each of the tapes at precisely the same point in each tape.Tony Cherniak, vice squad inspector for Winnipeg police, confirmed that the segments were obscene and said an investigation is underway to find out who tampered with them.Borowski said he doesn’t know if any of the tapes were viewed before he discovered the problem and recalled them.“We’re embarrassed about it,” he said.“It’s not the politicians I’m worried about, but I don’t like the thought of this getting into the hands of the clergy.” Seconl George MacLaren, Publisher .569-9511 Charles Bury, Editor.569-6345 Lloyd G.Seheib,

subway train was likely atoning for murdering his wife last month, says his lawyer.Bruno Bergeron, who pleaded guilty to killing his 94-year-old wife, was given a suspended sentence last week, placed in a nursing home and put on probation for three years.“My personal feeling is that he took the law into his own hands, ’’ legal aid lawyer Alexander Spagnoli said Tuesday.Bus driver charged with assault MONTREAL (CP) — A Montreal bus driver is to appear in sessions court next month on charges of grievous assault involving a passenger who died of a ruptured blood vessel.Coroner Roch Heoux absolved Andre Bouchard, 33, two weeks ago of criminal responsibility in the death of Raoul L’Italien, 57, who died outside a subway station after being punched.Pathologist, Andre Lauzon told the coroner that the blows L’Italien received were too slight to have caused the rupture.Obscenity trial to be renewed MONTREAL (CP)— Quebec Justice Minister Pierre Marc Johnson said Tuesday a new obscenity trial will be held this fall against the Quebec distributor of a Penthouse magazine issue containing scenes of bondage.After a two-week trial, a jury announced last Saturday it could not reach a verdict against Benjamin News Ltd.and 90250 Canada Inc.They were charged under Section 159 of the Criminal Code which forbids distribution of obscene materials having as a dominant characteristic undue exploitation of sex or sex combined with violence.Tainted food records to be public MONTREAL (CP) — The provincial Access to Information Commission has ordered the Montreal Urban Community to make public the names of businesses where milk or meat unfit for human consumption has been seized by city inspectors.Commissioner Therese Giroux last week gave the city 30 days to provide Montreal Gazette reporter Robert Winters with documents he requested under the province’s access to information legislation.The city had refused to make public those records.The commission rejected the city’s arguments that the records should remain private because revealing them might financially harm the businesses where the tainted food had been seized.Nostalgia threatens equality QUEBEC (CP) — Technological innovation and nostalgia for the past are two new threats to the fight for women’s equality, Maureen McTeer warned Tuesday.By the end of the decade, more than a million Canadian working women will have fallen victim to technological changes, resulting in more families living under the poverty level, McTeer told a meeting of the Canadian Grocery Distributors Institute.She said she is concerned about a trend to glorify the days when supposedly “men were real men and women real women.” Pension plan to go bust?OTTAWA (CP) — The Canada Pension Plan will run out of money within 20 years unless there are changes in contributions, benefits and the revenues the fund generates, a Health and Welfare Department official says.Del Lyngseth, assistant deputy minister in the department’s corporate management branch, told the Commons welfare committee Tuesday that in the absence of changes, the fund will go bust “sometime in the next century, around the year 2003.” However, Health Minister Jake Epp said he is not worried about the prospect at this point since provincial finance ministers have agreed pension plan contributions must be increased.Trade agreement unanimous VANCOUVER (CP) — The federal government and the provinces have agreed to pursue a new trade arrangement with the United States, James Kelleher, the federal minister of international trade, said Tuesday.Kelleher said the governments unanimously agreed there is an urgent need for a comprehensive agreement to secure and expand Canadian access to the American market.Soviets accused of despotism OTTAWA (CP) — The Soviet Union was accused Tuesday at an international human rights conference of returning to the days of the despotic czars and of forgetting the principles of tolerance enunciated by Lenin, one of the founders of the communist state.That message was delivered by both American and British diplomats to the 35 countries attending the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe.Richard Schifter, American ambassador to the conference, said the Soviet Union’s attempts to impose the Russian language and culture on its many ethnic minorities is reminiscent of “the great Russian nationalism of the czars.” Free drinks limit drunk driving TORONTO (CP) — A major Canadian distillery will spend up to $2 million in the next decade to convince restaurant patrons to lay off the booze and drive their drunk friends home.Under the designated drunk driver program launched Tuesday by Hiram Walker Brands Ltd., thousands of Canadian restaurants and bars will offer free non-alcoholic drinks to patrons who agree to chauffeur their party.“Our rationale .is to promote the responsible consumption of our product,” company president Doug Young told a news conference.“We believe drinking and driving is not a responsible way to use our product.” Court reserves judgement, REGINA (CP) — Colin Thatcher smiled and waved as he was whisked away in a police cruiser after the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal reserved judgment Tuesday on the former politician’s first-degree murder conviction.“The court, as is the usual custom in serious matters such as this, had obviously done a great deal of preparation for this case,” said Gerald Allbright, lawyer for the former Saskatchewan energy minister.“They provided both sides with a very full and fair hearing.” Thatcher, 46, was convicted Nov.6 by a jury of the Jan.21, 1983, murder of his former wife, JoAnn Wilson.He was sentenced to life in prison with no parole for 25 years.Nurses must be heard REGINA (CP) — Nurses must become more political and employ trade union principles, including the right to strike, if they hope to defend themselves against health-care cutbacks, says the Canadian director of the United Auto Workers.Bob White, speaking to more than 2,000 nurses Tuesday at the annual meeting of the National Federation of Nurses, said nurses must “make themselves heard within the political environment of this country.” White accused governments of not acknowledging the contribution of nurses to the Canadian health-care system and told his audience it was time they turned the tables.Keegstra defends theory RED DEER, Alta.(CP) — Jim Keegstra told a court Tuesday he believes in a worldwide Jewish conspiracy but that only a small percentage of Jews are involved.The former Eckville, Alta., high school teacher was defending himself against an accusation he promoted hatred against the Jewish people in his social studies classes.Keegstra told the jury his research into the causes of revolutions and other historical upheavals led him to the conspiracy.“At the head of these were this particular type of Jewish individual called Zionist,” he said.Company receives record fine CHAMPLAIN, N.Y.(CP) — A Montreal-based chemical company has pleaded guilty in New York to transporting hazardous chemicals to Quebec without a valid permit and been fined $8,000.The New York state attorney’s office said Tuesday the fines against Anachemia Chemicals Inc.were believed to be the largest ever levied for such an offence.Anachemia pleaded guilty April 3 in the Village Court of Champlain, N.Y., to four counts of transporting hazardous chemicals after its New York transport permit had expired.Nathan Riley, spokesman for the New York State attorney’s office, said Anachemia was fined $2,000 U.S.for each violation out of a possible maximum of $2,500 U.S.No libel suits for AP,UPI stories BOSTON (AP) — The highest court in Massachusetts said Tuesday newspapers may not be sued for libel when they print stories from The Associated Press or United Press International because of the news agencies’ reputation for accuracy.In a unanimous opinion, the Massachusetts Supreme Court upheld lower court rulings dismissing libel actions brought by convicted rapist Kenneth Appleby of West Springfield against four Massachusetts newspapers.They were part of a barrage of lawsuits Appleby filed in 1981 and 1982, seeking more than $2.5 billion in damages from 94 different newspapers, news agencies, broadcasters and public officials.U.S., Soviets to hold talks WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite a stalemate in arms talks, the United States and the Soviet Union will hold high-level meetings in an effort to defuse tensions in southern Africa and Afghanistan, U.S.administration officials have disclosed.The aim, said officials Tuesday, is to at least outline the American position to the Soviets in hopes of avoiding misunderstandings.Meetings on regional issues grew out of a proposal President Ronald Reagan made last September at the United Nations General Assembly.The first meeting, on the Middle East, was held in February, and apparently was not a success.American abducted in Beirut BEIRUT (AP) — Six gunmen driving a blue van kidnapped the American director of a Lebanese university hospital on Tuesday as he walked across a Beirut street to go to work.The abduction of David Jacobsen, 54, of Huntington Beach, Calif., heightened alarm that the few westerners remaining in the embattled Lebanese capital are still targets of roving gunmen.Jacobsen, director of the American University of Beirut Hospital, was the sixth American kidnapped in Beirut since March 1984.He was walking to work with a doctor from the hospital when six men with guns jumped from the van.Britain works on refugee camps LONDON (Reuter) — Britain took preliminary steps today to open refugee camps to house thousands of Tamils flooding into the country from strife-tom Sri Lanka.Military bases and unused hospitals may be used to shelter refugees, the Home Office said as its officials began talks with the Defence and Health ministries.Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s government acted as a controversy grew over its efforts to stem the flood of Tamils — 1,500 this month alone, including 400 the past weekend.Britain to change immigration STRASBOURG, France (Reuter) — Britain was found guilty Tuesday of violating the European Human Rights Convention by imposing immigration restrictions that discriminate against women.London said it will change its laws.The European Court of Human Rights ruled that three women living in Britain who can’t be joined by their foreign husbands are victims of sexual discrimination.IRA kills teenager BELFAST (AP) — Irish Republican Army gunmen Tuesday shot and killed a teenager who they claimed was a police officer.Police said the youth had no connection with security forces.Gary Smith, 19, had parked his car and was about to attend classes at a technical college near Falls Road, a predominantly Roman Catholic area of Belfast, when two hooded gunmen approached him.Police said the pair fired at close range, shooting Smith in the head and killing him.The gunmen then fled in a stolen van driven by a third person.New offensive in Afghanistan ISLAMABAD (AP) — At least 10,000 Soviet troops backed by tanks, jet planes and helicopter gunships have launched one of the biggest offensives of the war in Afghanistan in a bid to cut off Moslem supply lines at the Pakistani border, western diplomatic sources said Tuesday.The sources said Soviet troops began moving out of the Afghan capital of Kabul earlier this month to prepare for an offensive in Kunar and Laghman provinces.Weather Sunny with a high of 20.Low tonight 2 with a risk of

Brown LENNOXVILLE — According to public opinion polls, the Parti Québécois will lose the next election.But the New Democratic Party doesn’t think the disenchantment has anything to do with social democratic ideals.That hope is reflected in the founding of a provincial riding association in the district of St-François.It’s the first ever in the Eastern Townships, says Shaun Lynch, the party’s regional organizer whose territory includes Montreal, the south shore and the Townships.The new NDP association was created in response to the party’s desire to enter the provincial politi- cal arena.One priority, said riding president Charles Campbell, is to formulate agricultural policies for the area which will be presented to the membership at the next convention and hopefully incorporated into the party platform.Campbell, a political science student at Bishop’s University, was the driving force behind a federal NDP-student-club active during the 1984-85 school year.The dozen-or-so members met weekly but most moved back home at the end of classes and couldn’t join the new organization, Campbell said.He spent the time leading up to the May 21 founding meeting rounding up members of the federal NDP as listed at the organization’s Mon- treal offices.He was acclaimed president by the half-dozen party faithful present at the first meeting.But federal and provincial election boundaries aren’t the same.Federally, Sherbrooke includes all of that municipality as well as Len-noxville.Provincially, St-François includes that part of Sherbrooke lying on the east bank of the river, Lennoxville, Fleurimont and Ascot Township.Sherbrooke has a federal association but no provincial one.“Federally we’re very active,” said Sherbrooke riding association president Daniel Berthold, “but provincially we’re split in half.Most of our more active members live in east Sherbrooke.” But there’s another problem: “We’d like to know the provincial party’s position on the constitutional issue.There are a lot of social-democrat anglophones and francophones who want reforms.We need to know what their stand is on language, French culture, Quebec’s veto, but we also don’t want to take over from where the Parti Québécois left off,” Berthold said.Berthold ran as the NDP candidate in the last national election and received 11 per cent of the vote.Lennoxville residents Jean and Ellen Legault were acclaimed treasurer and women’s committee representative respectively at the St-François meeting, while Bishop’s University student Alexandra Rinfret was also acclaimed secretary.‘THE SOCIAL ISSUES' “I’m not a sophisticated political person,” said Jean Legault, “I’m interested in seeing an alternative to the existing political parties.I’m mostly interested in the peace issues the NDP is supporting — no to the cruise missile, nuclear free zones.That’s what brought me into the party — the social issues.” A provincial convention March 30 and 31 attended by delegates from all federal NDP riding organizations and clubs in Quebec saw those present call for “the establishment of a provincial NDP party,” Lynch said.“On June 1 we’ll be filling the legal requirements (for accreditation) as well as looking at a draft platform, discussing party structures and the constitution and submitting our request for authorization to the electoral officer June 3."We need a minimum of 60 signatures in a minimum of 10 ridings and so far we've got 22 forms with an average of 80 signatures each, so we’re well over” the number needed to convert the existing federal wing of the party into a full-fledged provincial party.“Riding associations need a minimum of 10 members per riding.We completed that requirement — we have 18 ridings as of Tuesday,” Lynch said.Chief, ally forced cop to beat man:6 We’re all in this together’ Continued from page 1 same thing would happen if he left the house without their permission.“Did he mention any names of the police,?Cimon asked.TOLD OF BURNING “He may have but I’m only telling you what I recall,” Thompson replied.“Did he show you his private parts?” Cimon continued.“No, he told me about it and how they had burned him.” Thompson said he had a call from a friend, Percy Page, and he invited him over and Page witnessed the damage to Gauthier.“I patted him on the head, warning of the perils of gangrene, and told him not to die on me,” Thompson continued.“He stayed overnight groaning all the time and I said ‘Thank God he’s still alive’, to myself in the morning.“He stayed two or three more days, then left and I never saw him again until the opening of the hearing.” Thompson added at no time did he speak to his brother Roger to tell him of the beating.Jimmy Gauthier, 24, of Knowl-ton, said he saw his brother David in hospital, and later lent him about $400 for his air fare to the SWEETSBURG WARD (JM) — A war veteran who beat his wife wants to go back to her because he doesn’t like a temporary residence arranged for him by the court.“I wouldn’t care to go back there,” the 66-year-old veteran from the Brome-Missisquoi-Shefford area told Judge Bernard Legaré, 53 weeks after the date he assaulted his wife, when he appeared for sentencing on May 24.The veteran, whose name is being withheld to protect the identity of his victim, was referring to the Portage St.François, a treatment centre for alcoholics in Sherbrooke.The judge, Crown attorney west coast.He said David was in rough shape and his hands and feet were bandaged, certainly not the way he appeared a few days prior to March 1, 1982.Cst.Thireau, 33, appeared and deposited work schedules, the prisoner log book, and overtime pay sheets pertinent to the event.BEATEN FOR THEFT Peter Stone, 32, then a sergeant, was the next to testify.He said he first saw Gauthier about 7 a.m., March 1, 1982, and formally entered him in the prisoners log when he was asked to continue the investigation of a burglary and theft of a safe in Foster during the last week of February 1982.He told Cimon how he saw Gauthier in the presence of Thireau, Beaumont, and former T.B.L.Cst.Paul Roy.He said he had known Gauthier since he was four or five years old and Gauthier told him he was beaten up for a theft in Foster, citing the names of Beaumont, Roy and Thi-’•eau as being responsible.“I started taking the declaration about 8:30 a.m.He couldn't write, his fingers were too badly frozen,” Stone said.“He was bruised in general, I don’t remember if he was wearing socks, but he didn’t have and defence, all agreed at the outset of the case it was one for treatment, not incarceration.* Efforts were made to have him placed in the Ste.Anne de Bellevue Military Hospital, but authorities ruled they could not guarantee he would remain there, citing a lack of proper security.The veteran had been examined by Sherbrooke Hospital forensic psychiatrist Dr.Pierre Gagné who felt Ste.Anne’s would be the ideal solution.“I want to go back to my wife,” the wife-beating veteran said.“That can’t be contemplated as it was a very grievous accusation,” Legaré said.“We can’t risk any boots on.His face was bruised but he didn’t have a black eye.” “Did you ask him what happened,” Cimon pressed.“He said he had been brutalized and after I took the declaration I asked Thireau about Gauthier’s statement,” Stone continued.“Thireau told me it wasn’t founded, nothing had happened.” Stone said he investigated, then returned to the station, and Gauthier decided to “empty his bag.” He said he took three statements concerning three different events between 5 and 5:30 p.m., March 1,1982, including one which corroborated the one given earlier in the day.Stone said it was the first time in his career that he had ever seen a prisoner in such physical condition.LOG-BOOK FALSIFIED Judge Claude Pinard, who heads the investigation, asked Stone if it was his writing in the prisoner log concerning Gauthier’s booking.Stone replied it was.“Why does it indicate the injuries were sustained in a fight between Gauthier and two other individuals ?” Pinard asked.“You had been told by the officers how he was bruised,” Cimon treatment another confrontation with her.” “But I love her,” the guilty man said.' • “You have a poor way of showing it,” the judge replied.Defence lawyer Claude Ha-mann, after an adjournment, said he had taken steps through a Granby agency to see if it could find a foster home for his client.“I have no objection to him being in the area as the Legion service officer has made me aware why he doesn’t like the Sherbrooke facility,” Crown attorney Henry Key-serlingk said.Legaré delayed sentencing to June 11.Veteran doesn’t like his Abandoned church needs help./ By Merritt Clifton Sutton and

Comer, between been seen by neighbors in years.•»»¦>— Y RBCORD/l’KRRY BEATON la cie Thttirau carrons « txst The former United Church at h’arnam's Corner stands abandoned and crumbling.It was last used as a summer theatre (inset).They’re believed to be Americans.Built well over 100 years ago, the former United Church was deconsecrated about 20 years ago, in the middle 1960s.“My son Mark was baptized down here,” recalls Barbara Harvey, who lives on a farm about a half mile away, “and I remember we stopped having services here soon after Kevin was born.That was in 1963.Services were held every two weeks before that, with the minister coming out from Cowansville.He served three churches, and after it got to be too much for him, this little church was closed.” “I used to be organist here,” Har-vey adds.“We had many a strawberry social in those days.” FALLING APART After deconsecration, the Farnam’s Corner church passed through various hands.A community theatre group attempted renovation during the late 1970s, but the effort was abandoned at an early stage.Half-installed foam insulation now peels away from the basement walls, joining piles of rubble on the floor.A padlock hangs on the front door, but the hasp has long since been torn loose.Most of the windows are broken.Pigeons and swallows nest in the bell-tower and above the altar, which remains in place.Teenagers have occasionally used the church as a hangout.They haven’t done much damage beyond spray-painting initials here and there, but Harvey worries that a stray cigarette or a deliberate arson attempt might soon burn the whole place down.Restoring the church for use as a home, workshop, or meeting hall would take a major effort and investment.Yet restoration is possible.Despite the years of neglect, most of the structure remains sound.New insulation, windows, and wiring could be installed.What’s really required is someone or some group who cares.continued.“I hope the court has enough experience to understand and realize I put down what my confreres wanted me to,” Stone replied.“I understand but only hope the whole truth will come out,” Pinard commented.Stone said the log indicated Gauthier was released at 7 p.m., March 1, 1982, and confirmed he had seen Cst.Gilles Laporte at the station the day of the incident.He told the hearing he resigned from the force on April 1,1984, for personal reasons which had no bearing on the present inquiry.Laporte, 40, said he went to the station and testified he had never seen a person so badly beaten.“I was completely astounded, he was bleeding from the face, his body was totally bruised, he couldn’t move his fingers.He was a real martyr.” BLOW-BY-BLOW ACCOUNT Paul Roy, 30, presently a student, gave the hearing a literal blow by blow acocunt of what went on in the police station.He said he was forced into kicking Gauthier and punching him once or twice as Beaumont told him ‘We are all in this together’.Roy told how Beaumont and Thireau used their riot sticks to suspend Gauthier over the stairwell, how he had to go and save him from falling, how Beau- mont stripped Gauthier then put at least five paper matches to his penis.Roy said it was very cold that night and Thireau and Beaumont went off with Gauthier towards the lakes used for filtration about 3 a.m.with him following in another car.” The temperature was “Possibly minus-20 to minus-25 Faren-heit,” Roy told Cimon.Roy said he stayed at the gate to the filtration beds, then got a call for a burglar alarm at a dwelling 15 minutes later, had to investigate the possibility of a burglary and returned to the station about 4:30 a.m., an hour and a half after the squad cars had set off to the sanitary lagoon.Roy said at limes Gauthier appeared to be unconscious from the beating before they took him out of the station.‘HITLER-SPECIAL’ CELL Roy said they brought Gauthier back about 5:30 a.m., his fingers were swollen and cramped, and he was told to escort him to the basement cell.“A steel ‘Hitler special’, 6’ x 8’ with a Judas Hole and a wooden bunk,” Roy explained.Roy said Gauthier was brought upstairs a while later and his moans and groans indicated he might die.He said they fed Gauthier a cheese sandwich in the morning and he had visual contact’ with the burglary suspect until he went off duty at 3 p.m.Roy said Stone reported about 10 to 10:30 a.m.that Gauthier had given him a declaration.Roy told Cimon he was dismissed by Thireau on July 17,1983, for conduct unbecoming a police officer.Judge Pinard tolerated several legal arguments, and constantly had to remind lawyers Christiane Beland and Jean-Paul Beaudry of the magnitude of the commission’s mandate.“We will weigh all the evidence and the credibility of the witnesses once all have been heard,” Pinard explained.Meanwhile David Allan Gauthier, who had been the object of a bench warrant when town police couldn’t serve him with a summons to appear for the burglary in Foster, had his day in another court Mondayd.He appeared before Judge Claude Le veillé in Sessions Court in Granby, pleaded guilty to charges of burglary and theft of a safe in Foster during the latter part of February 1982.He was handed a suspended sentence and bound over for three years.Gauthier was told at the close of Tuesday’s hearing that he was free to return to British Columbia and he thanked the judge in the same even tone he used through all the questioning.The hearing resumes this morning when Mario Beaumont will take the stand.Wilson released as inquest delayed SWEETSBURG WARD (JM) — A coroner’s inquest into the suspicious death of 55-year-old Ruth Ge-nereaux-Dupras in Cowansville on May 16, has been delayed to June 10.George Wilson, the 66-year-old ‘important witness’, appeared before Coroner Suzanne Mireault Friday and Crown attorney Henry Keyserlingk told the court he had only a verbal report on the autopsy performed by Dr.Jean Hould at the Montreal Medical-Legal Institute.“The verbal report does not attribute any direct cause of death to physical violence, but the toxology reports are not yet complete,” Keyserlingk explained.“In view of the lack of proof of physical violence I feel it would be best to release the witness on the conditions he remain within the District of Bedford and inform the municipal police of any change of address.I also request, Madame coroner, that you advise the witness to obtain the Fournier, friends get Miami date SHERBROOKE — This city’s best-known former laundryman will face trial July 1 along with three accused fellow conspirators in what U.S.authorities say was a plot to smuggle cocaine into the United States.André Fournier, former owner of Nettoyeur Fournier dryclea-ners, has been in a Florida jail since he was arrested March 5 in a Miami motel room along with three politicians from the Turks and Caicos Islands, a former British colony in the Caribbean.The arrests followed an international investigation by the U.S.Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) in which an informer and an undercover agent joined the alleged conspiracy and detectives used sophisticated electronic surveillance equipment.The FBI says Fournier and the West Indians were putting the finishing touches on a major cocaine smuggling network; the four say they were in Miami on “personal business”.Fournier is in jail with Turks and Caicos Prime Minister Norman Saunders and member of Parliament Alden Smith ; Commerce and Development Minister Stafford Missick was released on $600,000 bail.services of a lawyer prior to his next appearance as he is certainly eligible for legal aid.” Coroner Mireault freed Wilson on the conditions suggested by the Crown and strongly urged him to have a lawyer present when he reappears at 10 a.m., June 10.Peter Dupras earlier testified that he went to Wilson’s apartment at Terrasse Bellerive about 8:30 p.m., May 16.He found his wife dead on Wilson’s bed and alerted the police.Wilson was party to a similar event some three years ago when he omitted to tell the police one of his girl friends had died until three or four days after the fact.That death was determined to have been from natural causes.The victim in the present case was a known epileptic who had heart problems.YOUNG PfOPti RAVF RIGHTS OTHERS DO TOO! ?D!

general because we did not want one who would go out and authorize the payment of $100,000 to a killer in British Columbia.People have had it up to the ears with that kind of stuff.” Right.They have had it up to the ears.But not necessarily with the kind of ‘stuff Prime Minister Brian Mulroney referred to in the House of Commons Tuesday.Rather, it is the kind of ‘stuff his government is getting away with in the Commons.Those remarks were made following attacks from the Opposition about comments from Solicitor General Elmer MacKay.MacKay said last week that allegations stemming from sexual harassment charges laid by an aide to former defence minister Robert Coates were unfounded.The Opposition correctly denounced MacKay’s statements.But the prime minister defended MacKay yesterday by implying that Kaplan, solicitor general under the previous Liberal government, had given his approval to a $100,000 payment in 1981 to convicted British Columbia child-killer Clifford Olson in return for information about where Olson’s victims’ bodies were buried.Not only was the prime minister out of line for re-opening wounds the victims’ families still suffer from, but he was entirely wrong.Kaplan did not know of the Olson payment until Ifi days after it happened.It had been approved by RCMP Deputy Commissioner Henry Jensen.Mulroney was corrected in the House by Kaplan immediately after his accusation and Kaplan’s story was later verified by RCMP Commissioner Robert Simmonds.The maddening part of the whole affair is the arrogance of the prime minister and the blind-sheep attitude of his MPs, who applauded heartily when the Tory leader lashed out at Kaplan.It is something that has been happening with too much frequency in the Commons.It seems that no matter what the prime minister says, whether it be correct or entirely incorrect, as was the case yesterday, his trained seals will quickly jump up and clap their flippers together.As for his comments about Kaplan, the prime minister should stand up this morning in the House and apologize.Anything less would be a perfect example of the high esteem in which he holds himself.We’ve got Jesus Christ as the ‘star witness’ at a trial in Rome.We don’t need God as the ‘star’ in Parliament.BOBBY FISHER Bruce Levett Accused Nazi General: ^Russians are men’ By Neil Macdonald Ottawa Citizen HAMBURG, West Germany—Past the old eyes of Wilhelm Mohnke, where you would look for those signals that betray what a man is thinking, lies — nothing.He is speaking German, his arms and jowls and bulk pausing and lurching to punctuate his points, all carefully considered.But passion is for a fool.Wilhelm Mohnke, 74, is the competent man.Nazis, and he was one of the very best, or worst, are idiots, he says.“History is simply there.It has happened.It is fact.” Mohnke, SS major-general, accused now for 40 years of sentencing Canadian prisoners to death with a gesture of his hand on the battlefields of Normandy.Direct responsibility for three executions, according to the military parchments, indirect guilt for another 49.Sought persistently by the Canadians for trial, but lost to the Russians in 1945.He knows his name made headlines in Canada when the Deschènes commission on Nazi war criminals was told he is still alive.He has the press clippings, and knows the name of “this Crosbie,” Justice Minister John Crosbie who formed the commission.Know your enemy.The commission has, in fact, decided that since Mohnke lives here and not in Canada, he is none of their business.When the Canadian government first learned he was alive in 1976, it contacted the German prosecutor’s office, which had already opened an investigation of its own.By that time, Mohnke had long settled into life as the Hamburg representative of a large German trucking concern.DENIES PART He denies with contempt and without explanation that he was res- ponsible for the death of Canadian prisoners.He was the commander of the 25th Grenadier Regiment of the 12th SS Panzer Division, more concerned with the crust of dirt on his boots than a clutch of wretched Canadian prisoners.“There was someone else to do that," he says, without saying what that is.“The military police and special officers.I had 12,000 men.” Hamburg, the most ordered and severe of the German cities, suits Mohnke.On a sunny, cold Saturday morning, he is already in tie and jacket in his den at 10 a.m.His wife, in a crisp white frock, serves coffee.They live with their son in the vil lage suburb of Stemwarde, in a gingerbread house, and the smell of cow manure, and motor oil from his son’s motorcycle hangs in the air.The fierce black winds of history through which Mohnke moved and survived for 25 years deposited him here in 1956, a beneficiary of then-chancellor Konrad Adenauer, who persuaded the Soviets to return German war prisoners.“I am not hiding.I am comfortable here.I live here proudly, easily.” The Canadians he fought in Normandy are just a blip to him, a bunch of frightened men who looked British.He has seen things that would kill most men 10 times over, and walked away, with only a limp to show.An early Nazi, he helped Germany crush the Balkans, tried to repel the Allied invasion, organized and commanded Hitler’s personal bunker, counted some of history’s darkest names as comrades, and emerged alive from Lubyanka, the KGB prison in Moscow.SHOWN FILES Shown a sheaf of Canadian charges that once would have meant his neck, he barely cocks an eyebrow: ‘‘Mmm.Difficult to disguise the ultimate aim?“Good heavens,” she hiccupped.“Have you seen this?” The “this” under discussion turned out to be an item in the newspaper stating that a department store in the United States — long famed for its bridal registry — was throwing the whole thing open to the public at large.In other words, you no longer have to be contemplating wedlock in order to sign up.All you have to do is list your various preferences as to crystal, flatware pattern, dishes, linens, etcetera, and then slip the wink to potential gift-givers.The PGGs, then, merely have to consult the registry before laying on the loot.“What a revolutionary idea,” he enthused.“If this were to spread, I could sign up with the neighborhood sporting-goods store and specify that Algonquin moose call after which I have hungered for, these many years.” She was getting into the spirit of things.“I, on the other hand, could get myself listed with Fredericks of Hollywood.You know, that’s the store that specializes in nightwear of a certain specificity, which.” “You do not have to enlarge upon the ‘which,’” he hastened.“I get the idea.” However, were there not drawbacks to this?After all, unless you were going to sign up all over town, this system might tend to limit the opportunities somewhat.Suppose, for instance, that the word got around that you were registered down at the sporting-goods store.Chances ar you might end up — depending upon the number and generosity of your friends — with enough Algonquin moose calls to go into the Algonquin moose-call business on your own.“Indeed,” she agreed.“Also, how do you go about — with charm and grace — leaking the intelligence that you are signed up with the dish department, for instance, down at Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard?“I mean, is it something you can just drop casually into the general flow of conversation over the tea and small cookies?” He saw her point.“I see your point,” he said."Be a bit difficult to disguise the ultimate aim, even with a casual Tm not really asking for much this birthday — as I made clear when I signed up with Birks.’ ” They agreed that, while there could be merit in the new idea, it was not for them.“It is not for us,” she stated firmly.“I think we should stick with the old tried-and-true formula.” His brow cleared.“You mean we should continue as we were — leaving marked catalogues all over the place?” “We are too old to change now,” she said.« B v, % M0 ADMITTANCE ///M „ FOR 13 MONTHS I have seen those.They are untrue.” The documents, still in National Defence archives, say Sapper J.lonel, Sapper G.A.Benner and Rifleman A.R.Owens were captured near Calvados in Normandy in 1944 and taken to Mohnke’s headquarters.Witnesses say Mohnke "gesticulated and shouted” at each man for about 20 minutes, after which they were searched and stripped of any form of identification, including dog tags.The three soldiers were then marched, unresisting and bewildered, to a large bomb crater 300 yards from the headquarters and machine-gunned as Mohnke watched, the documents say.Pressed with the evidence, he clasps his hands and looks heavenward.“All right.A lot of soldiers were captured in Normandy.With this in mind, and honestly, I will look at you and tell you that none, repeat none, were shot on my order.Do you understand?“My men were disciplined, tough, and soldiers.Let me tell you something.I once was told that a (German) soldier had laid his hands indecently on a French girl.I had him shot.” Mohnke signals his wife, who disappears, to return with a khaki packet, which he unfolds.“Look.” The document, indeed, shows he had the man shot.So what?“So you don’t understand.In war, it becomes very easy to kill someone.Human life becomes worthless.It takes discipline, hard discipline, to overcome that urge and fight to a goal.” But what is one to think when the oral evidence of one of Mohnke’s exunderlings led investigators to three rotting bodies in a water-filled crater, with bullet wounds?’ Letter He glances at the testimony, and returns a blank, cold stare.“I don’t know.I was elsewhere the day that was supposed to have happened.” RAISES TOPIC It is Mohnke who brings up the name of Kurt Meyer, knowing the Canadian interest in that subject.A colonel in Normandy who commanded the 26th Regiment, Meyer was tried and sentenced to death for ordering Canadian prisoners shot.Because of a lack of direct proof, his sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment, and he was released after eight years.“I have heard Meyer issued a secret order, Number Four, that no prisoners were to be taken.That was Meyer’s business, hmm?I commanded the 25th.We did not do such things.” Mohnke and Meyer returned to Germany about the same time, but only met once after.They stood by some SS graves, and reminisced.“That is the fate of soldiers around the world.” Mohnke says that on the last day in Berlin, he was outside Hitler’s the bunker, trying to organize a basement hospital for soldiers, and, when he realized it was hopeless, sought out the Russians, surrendered, and asked for help.He was taken to Moscow with other general staff members, and interrogated for seven years about anticommunist partisans in the lands Germany occupied.In 1952, he stood before a Russian military tribunal and heard his sentence: 25 years in a penal camp.“This is normal.The Russians are men.They treated me absolutely correctly.” He was lucky.The Canadians, who were actually kicked out of the Russians’ Berlin headquarters for their insistence on finding Mohnke in 1945, probably would have hanged him.Appreciate your quick response to

Mr.Jean Choquette Representative Stanstead Should CIA hire terrorists for dirty work?“Almost any covert action to help win the (Second World) war was considered within bounds,” wrote Admiral Stansfield Turner, director of the Central Intelligence Agency in the Carter years, in his just-published memoirs ‘Secrecy and Democracy’.“Translating this attitude to the peacetime 1980s was a mistake.” Turner was criticizing the CIA’s doubtful escapades under its present action-oriented head, William Casey, like the clandestine mining of Nicaraguan ports.And it’s getting worse: on May 12, the Washington Post revealed that the car bomb which killed 80 people and wounded 200 in a Beirut street last March was the work of a Lebanese group which the CIA had adopted as an instrument for counterterrorist strikes.The car bomb was unauthorized, the administration says, and that is doubtless true.However, the target (who escaped) was Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, a Shiite leader whom the US strongly suspects of organizing the suicide attack that killed 241 Marines in Beirut in 1983.Washington certainly wants Fadlallah dead, and the Reagan administration has argued publicly that killing terrorists can be seen as “preemptive self-defence” (which is permissible and praiseworthy) rather than mere political assassination (naughty and impermissible).There is little question that the CIA would eventually have authorized some kind of attack of Fadlallah.It was the indiscriminate butchery involved in the technique favoured by its over-enthusiastic Lebanese henchmen that made the CIA drop them like a hot potato after the bombing, and is Gwynne Dyer causing it such embarrassment now.But there are clearly some people within the CIA who strongly oppose Casey’s whole activist approach to the use of semi-terrorist measures, for the leak obviously originated from inside the agency itself.It is an awkward sort of question, however, where arguments about morality blur fuzzily into other arguments that are really about public relations.Consider this, for example: immediately after the massacre of the Marines in October, 1983, the US government authorized the battleship New Jersey to bombard areas controlled by Fadlallah's group, the Hezballah (Party of God), with 16-inch guns.The bombardment was done at long range according to map co-ordinates, with no direct observation.There is just as much high explosive in a 16-inch shell as in a car bomb, and the way New Jersey was firing them, there is no more certainty about what target they are actually going to hit.I have no idea whether or not the battleship s bombardment kil- led 80 innocent civilians and wounded 200 — but it certainly could have.Yet everybody instinctively knows that the business the CIA got caught up in was a far shakier proposition than what the US Navy did It is worth asking how we know it, however, because the answer can tell us something useful about the way we actually think about the uses of violence.While almost nobody believes it is all right to kill another human being for personal reasons, almost everybody (with the exception only of absolute pacifists) believes that under certain circumstances it is permissible to kill people for political ends.That is why terrorists feel justified in arguing that their political purposes raise their acts of killing above the plane of mere murder.But anybody who pays taxes for defence implicity accepts a version of the same argument.Every state’s armed forces exist for the primary purpose of killing the citizens of other states when the government orders them to —- and the killing is always done for political ends, unless the government concerned is incompetent or insane.War, as Clausewitz pointed out long ago, is the pursuit of political ends by other means.So what’s the difference?It is not as great as we pretend, certainly.The terrorists of yesterday can be the government of tomorrow, with their acts of violence for political ends now legitimized by the fact that they control a state and a regular army.For example, Menachem Begin once organized anr attack on the King David Hotel in Jerusalem (then a British Army headquarters in colonial Palestine), which had much the same effect as Fadlallah’s attack on the Marine barracks in Beirut.But then Begin was a ‘terrorist’ without a state (as Fadlallah still is) — whereas by the time Begin ordered the attack on Iraq’s nuclear reactor in 1981 he was the prime minister of a legitimate state.When he blew up the King David, Begin was fighting for Israel’s independence; in 1981, the attack on Iraq was essentially an election stunt (Iraq was not within 10 years of building nuclear weapons).Yet the fact that the raid on Iraq was carried out by people in uniform acting on the orders of a government somehow puts it in a more legitimate, less ‘terrorist’ category.We think of soldiers killing other soldiers in open war as being somehow less bad than civilians without the authority of a state behind them (’terrorists’) killing soldiers, as in the attack on the Marines.Similar terrorists slaughtering innocent civilians (the Beirut car bomb) seem still more reprehensible — but if a state uses battleships or fighter-bombers to kill the same civilians, it seems less wicked.Y et politics is equally the reason for all the killing.The distinctions we make are therefore rather flimsy, admittedly, but they are better than none.At least to a considerable extent, they confine the political use of violence to a few authorized actors (states).The dissenters within the CIA are right: when a state gets involved, however peripherally, in working with terrorists, one of those distinctions is trampled on, and a world already ravaged by political violence of all sorts gets just a little worse. The RECORD—Wednesday, May 29, 1985-5 Farm and Business —____««J KCCUTu That $5 you left in Kitimat is making Bank of Canada millions TORONTO (CP) — Did you ever close that bank account in Squa-mish, B.C.?Orleaveafew bucks in a bank in Grand Falls, N.B.?How about your late Aunt Nellie’s savings account in Peebles, Sask.?Somewhere in the Bank of Canada’s vault there is $50 million from dormant bank accounts left untouched in chartered banks by thousands of Canadians.The number of those forgotten accounts, some of which contain tens of thousands of dollars, has been growing at a record pace over the past decade, helping the Bank of Canada to make money.Canada’s central bank took custody of $8.8 million in 122,000 private bank accounts last year — four times as many as it received 10 years ago.The bank lists the dormant accounts as liabilities on its ledger and profits from the money by investing it in government treasury and trading bills, said Fernand Payer, a Bank of Canada official.Interest-bearing dormant accounts earn only I'A per cent annually for a maximum of 20 years while they are in the bank’s custo- dy, he added.The bank now holds a record high of 865,000 such accounts — some dating back to Confederation — and officials say the bank would be happy to return the money if the owners could be found.CAN'T BE TRACED But they say tracing the owners is virtually impossible because there are no records of where they are or what may have happened to them.“I just don’t know why people would forget money in their bank account.but if they've forgotten about it for 10 years, chances are that they will continue to forget it,” Payer said.Dormant accounts are sent to the Bank of Canada from chartered banks after they have sat unused for 10 years and the owners cannot be located.Accounts containing less than $50 are held by the bank for 20 years and then turned over to the federal treasury, while those with more than $50 are kept.Payer sees no apparent reason for the rapid increase in the number of dormant accounts.Most are forgotten because passbooks have been lost or individuals have mo- ved and forgotten their accounts or died without leaving complete records.Occasionally, however, some people do recall a long-forgotten cache.Payer cites a man who lived in Poland for 10 years before remembering the $93,000 he left behind in a Canadian account.He now is in the process of collecting his money.SOME LARGE ACCOUNTS The average dormant account contains about $56 but there are about 40,000 accounts containing $1,000 to $60,000, Payer said.The federal Access to Informa- tion Act has made the central bank’s list of dormant accounts available on microfilm, which is increasing the odds of dépositors being reunited with their money.The lists are available for perusal in the bank's nine regional offices.Twelve sets have also been sold to professional investment tracing companies.Bank of Canada records show .that 13,355 accounts — worth $5.6 million — have been transferred back to the originaj owners out of the more than 650,000 accounts that have been sent to the central bank since 1975.Lortie to follow Turmel as Provigo’s chairman By Kevin Dougherty MONTREAL (CP) — Pierre Lortie, who steps down as head of the Montreal Exchange Friday, has been named chairman and chief executive officer of Provigo Inc., Quebec’s largest food retailer.He replaces retiring chairman Antoine Turmel, a former Sherbrooke resident.Lortie was elected to the Provigo board at the annual shareholders meeting Monday, but his position with the company was not revealed until after the directors meeting which followed.Provigo vice-chairman Rene Provost emerged to announce the appointment.Pierre Lessard, president and chief operating officer, was visibly glum after the directors meeting.Lessard, who has been with Provigo for 18 years, was considered heir apparent to Turmel.Lessard said he would stay with the company “for the time being” to ensure an orderly transfer of power at the top.“I won’t guarantee that I will stay there (with Provigo) for a year.” Lortie said he would like to see Lessard stay on, but Lessard appeared resigned to leaving the company.RESIGNED TO FATE “I think the principal shareholders have the right to choose the principal administrator,” Lessard said.Asked for clarification, he indicated he was referring to the Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec, the $19-billion fund which invests Quebecers’ pension contributions, and Sobeys Stores Ltd.of Stellarton,N.S.The Caisse owns 26.37 per cent of Provigo, with Sobeys holding a 16.56per cent block of shares.Comments in the Montreal finan-cial milieu indicated that the Caisse and Sobeys were lukewarm toward Lessard as a possible replacement for Turmel.The announcement last month that Lortie would be named to the Provigo board was the first public indication of dissatisfaction with Lessard.Lortie, 38, dropped the “stock” from the Montreal Exchange name during his four years as exchange president.The name change was intended to reflect the shift in focus to the sale of options in addition to stocks.LIBERAL TIES Lortie first came to public prominence as campaign manager and executive assistant to Raymond Garneau, finance minister in the Quebec Liberal government of Robert Bourassa and currently Liberal MP for Laval-des-Rapides.This is Lortie’s first venture into retailing.Antoine Turmel did not attend the shareholders meeting where shareholder Dominik Dlouhy paid tribute to his ability in building Provigo from three small food wholesale firms in Quebec.Provigo has grown from sales of $478 million in 1976 to $4.367 billion in sales for the year ended Jan.26.“He made a lot of money for the shareholders,” Dlouhy said.Lessard, speaking during the shareholders meeting, said in the next five years, Provigo’s sales would grow by about 20 per cent yearly and profits would rise by 10 per cent annually.Profits last year were $40.3 million, or $2.02 a share, compared with $26.5 million, or $1.31 a share, for the year ended January 1984.Food sales would account for 60 per cent of profits with the other 40 per cent from the company’s other activities, Lessard said.Provigo owns Sports Exports and the Colle-giate-Arlington sporting goods chains.It also operates the Les Pres Restarants and National Drug Ltd.Provigo operates corporate and franchise food stores in Quebec, as well as Food Giant stores in Western Canada.Farm groups question Tories’ agriculture policy By Alex Binkley OTTAWA (CP) — An agriculture policy platform the Conservatives carefully constructed before last summer’s election still has some gaping holes and farm groups are wondering whether the missing planks will ever get nailed down.While the groups generally praised Finance Minister Michael Wilson’s decision in last week’s budget to double the capital gains exemption on farm sales to $500,000, they wanted to know what had become of the Tory promise to abolish capital gains tax.The groups also asked what the Tories were going to do to aid those farmers struggling to maintain their farms.,The Farm Credit Corp.says there are about 40,000 producers in this category but Wilson didn’t mention them.And most groups are apprehensive about a $50-million cut in the Agriculture Department’s budget following a $60-million chop last fall.They also wondered about the fate of long-standing Conservative promises to reform tax laws for part-time farmers, to introduce agribonds to raise low-interest money for starting and struggling farmers, lower interest rates from the Farm Credit Corp.and removal of federal taxes on farm fuels.“Farmers are outraged by the total absence in the budget of measures for interest-rate relief for farmers or of reference to the need for a long-term federal farm credit policy review,” says Don Knoerr, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture.Harry Pelissero, president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, says the capital gains change “will help many farmers retire with dignity.” “But what about helping farmers stay in business?” He said the government has failed miserably at fulfilling its agriculture promises.Charlie Gracie, executive vice-president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, says the capital gains change will help farmers and won’t create an undesirable tax haven in agriculture.“Beyond that, there was nothing for farmers.” He said his association has a lot of questions for Agriculture Minister J ohn Wise about Tory promises including agribonds, part-time farmer taxes and a request for tax deferrals when a livestock producer has to sell his herd because of a drought or other natural calamity.The Conservatives released a 10-point agriculture platform in 1983 as a blueprint for action if it formed the government.Seven of those 10 promises have yet to be fulfilled although some are in the legislative mill.And in the case of initial prices for western grain growers, the Tories have acted contrary to their 1983 call that those prices be maintained.The party beefed up its farm catalogue with more than 20 promises for the agriculture sector during last summer’s election campaign.About two-thirds of those promises have yet to be acted on although several are before MPs.Among the new promises the Tories made last summer were a long-term dairy policy, a 20-per-cent cut in cheese imports, increased spending on agricultural research and development, a so-called fast track policy on tariff protection for agricultural products and a doubling of advance payments on crops.Sharon Andrews, a spokesman for Wise, said the government will act on its propiises.She said Wise will discuss the cut in his department’s budget with farm groups and the provinces before taking any action.The capital gains tax change was made because it had the most sup- port among farm groups.It was also strongly backed by Conservative MPs on the Commons finance committee which studied farm tax issues in March.Wilson told the committee his government would eventually fulfil its promise on capital gains, part-time farmer taxes and agribonds but it probably couldn't afford to do it all at once.But there was surprise that Wilson didn’t act on the committee’s call for clearer guidelines, developed in consultation with farm groups, for tax officials to use in determining who are full-time, part-time and hobby farmers.Full-timers can deduct all of their losses, while part-timers can claim up to $5,000 a year in losses against off-farm income.Hobby farmers are not allowed any deductions.CN APPOINTMENT Single-industry towns gather to discuss plight WINNIPEG (CP) — Officials of one-industry towns discussed the need to diversify their economies Monday but a federal economist said they face a difficult road.Representatives of such communities as Lynn Lake, Man., and Kirkland Lake, Ont., discussed their plight at the founding conference of the Canadian Association of Threatened Single-Industry Towns.“We’re left holding the bag,” said Dutchy Loman of Ear Falls, Ont., explaining that the mine in the community of 550 is scheduled to close in about a year, resulting in the loss of 70 per cent of the town’s tax base.A driving force behind the association has been Dennis Young of Lynn Lake, Man., who started campaigning after it was learned Sherritt Gordon Mines Ltd.would be shutting down its mine there in the fall.The organization estimates there are about 800 communities across Canada that can be classified as one- industry towns.Young said terming an association would be the best way of getting governments to listen, and he rejected suggestions it would cost too much to help communities diversify.“The money is being spent right now,” he said in an interview, pointing to Uranium City, Sask., shut down a few years ago by the federal government.“It cost millions of dollars to shut that town down,” Young said.“All we’re saying is spend the millions of dollars in a more constructive way.” Gerald Pelletier, an economist with the federal Department of Energy Mines and Resources, said diversification is being examined by government departments, but it isn’t easy to persuade businesses to locate in small, out-of-the-way communities where they normally wouldn’t set up shop.“It is not an easy task to diversify an economy and we’re looking for new ideas on how to pursue that goal,” he said in an interview.“If anyone comes up woth any sort of specific ideas for their individual communities, we’ll certainly take a look at it.” Adrian DeGroot of the industrial commission in Thompson, Man., told about 50 delegates governments don’t always understand the concerns of towns faced with losing their major industry.“You come across bureaucrats within the system that have a negative approach to your community,” DeGroot said.“They say you should expand and contract at the will of the resource that is within that area.” Sandy Ivany of Buchans, Nfld./said the close of the local mine last year has left 90 per cent of the workforce in the community of 1,600 unemployed.There has been little in the way of government initiative to deal with the problem, and attempts to seek help have been hurt by the public perception of one-industry towns.D.E.Todd The appointment of David E.Todd as vice-president; corporate communications is announced by J.Maurice LeClair, chairman and chief.execu-tive officer of Canadian National.Mr.Todd joined CN in 1965 in the public relations department after several years in journalism.He was named general manager of public affairs and advertising for the corporation in 1980.He is located at CN headquarters in Montreal.A most important number from

RECORD—Wednesday, May 29, 1985 Living i___ HBCOIYI Town says good-bye to Katimavik project By Laurel Sherrer MANSONVILLE — The Reilly House community centre in Man-sonville was packed Saturday as townspeople gathered to say goodbye to the last group of young people to work on Katimavik projects there.Katimavik is a program funded by the Secretary of State which arranges for groups of 17- to 21-year-olds to spend nine months doing various projects in three different communities across Canada.There have been Katimavik groups in Mansonville for almost three years and they have done such things as renovating a church, working with school children and elderly people, working in a library, and renovating and working in the Reilly House.“We are excessively proud of the work they’ve done in Mansonville,” said Jacques Marcoux, president of the Chamber of Commerce.“If we stop and look at what they’ve done for the Reilly House and for people in the community, they have a accomplished a great deal.” Chantal Hamel, Eastern Townships co-ordinator for the program, said the project is leaving Mansonville because two to three years is the average length of time a project spends in one town.FEDERAL CUTBACKS However, she said the program has been greatly cut back as a re-ult of federal government restraint measures.There will be four projects in her region this year, as compared to last year’s 13.Katimavik is in its ninth year of existence, and this was to be the fifth year of an expansion plan.Last year in addition to its basic budget of $20 million, the program received about another $20 million as part of the expansion plan.This year the total budget was expected to be $50 million, but the federal government has cut it back to the original $20 million.Brome-Missisquoi MP Gabrielle Bertrand, who attended the ceremony, said the government had to cut the program, as it had to make cuts in every department.She said it is the present government’s policy to urge people to take their economy into their own hands.“One must not always rely on government grants,” she said in an interview.“People should rely more on themselves.” She said she hopes the local people will step in to fill the void the Katimavik people will leave.The latest Katimavik project was the renovation of a basement room in the Reilly House which is to be a youth centre.The room was opened to the public for the first time Saturday.It was a tearful ceremony as the Katimavik groups and their lea ders received gifts made by local artisans, and they in turn thanked community leaders and people who had opened their homes to them.Arthur Aiken, the president of the Reilly House committee, said the centre is going to have a hard time staying open without the Katimavik help, and he made a plea for more volunteers.Heritage contest reminds students of region’s past «4- Group leader Roch Bourbonnais receives souvenir quilt from Reilly House executive director Mable Hastings Sherrer.Do you remember the first car you or your family owned, or your first train ride, or what your early school days were like?These and other similar questions were the topics of the 1985 Heritage Contest, created under the Heritage and Cultural Affairs Program and designed specifically for elementary and high school students throughout the Townships.The contest was developed as a result of our growing concern that our young people seem to be, in general, either unaware of, or uninterested in the vast heritage of our region, or that of the people who live here.It is our hope that the Heritage Contest will become an ongoing part of school activities, and will serve to encourage and stimulate young people’s interest in heritage and history.This year’s contest was based on an interview with a person of at least 65 years of age in order to find out what life was like for that person when he or she was growing up.The interviews covered a number of topics, including rural life, schooling, transportation, entertainment and, in the Secondary Category, the Depression and World War II.Three prizes were offered for elementary level students and three for high school students.Over 300 students participated in this year’s contest, with the top 55 interviews forwarded by teachers to Townshippers for judging.Our panel of judges could best be described as a partial “Who’s Who” of Townships historians: Mr.Jacques Boisvert of Magog, a Townships writer and historian, and noted expert on the history of the Lake Memphremagog area; Mr.Bernard Epps, Townships historian, author of several books, “Teller of Marvelous Tales”, and the new Editor of The Townships Sun, and Mrs.Janet McDougall of Knowlton, a member of the Board of Directors of the Brome County Historical Society and the member of the Board of Directors of Townshippers’ Association responsible for Heritage and Cultural Affairs.The task of coming up with three winning entries from each category was far from easy.The overall quality of the interviews was very high, and even narrowing down the field took a great deal of time and thought — not to mention considerable discussion! However, in time the decisions were made, and here are the results: Elementary School Category: 1st - Trudy Jane Beaton, Grade 5, Pope Memorial, Bury 2nd - Nancy Burgey, Grade 6, St.Patrick, Thetford Mines 3rd - Michelle Setlakwe, Grade 6, St.Patrick, Thetford Mines Secondary School Category: 1st - Heidi Dalton, Grade 9, Richmond Regional 2nd - Pamela Williams, Grade 7, Richmond Regional 3rd - Margaret Cadeddu, Grade 11, Massey-Vanier, Cowansville Keeping in touch By Gail Klinck Townshippers Association Honorable Mentions go to: Karen Mitchell, Grade 5, Knowlton Academy ; Lyne Grenier, Grade 9, Massey-Vanier and Kim Johnston-Main, Grade9, Massey-Vanier.Congratulations — not just to the winners but to all the students who participated in the contest— you are all winners in our books! We hope you enjoyed doing the interviews as much as we enjoyed reading them.Our thanks are extended to all the teachers who got their students involved in the contest.Without you there would not have been a contest at all.We also thank you, Jacques, Bernie and Janet for giving so generously of your time and giving us the benefit of your expertise.And last, but not in any way least, a big thank you to all of you out there who agreed to be interviewed.Thanks for your time — and no doubt, your patience ! But most of all, thank you for helping to enrich the lives of your young people.This weekend, 32 Townshippers, including 18 youth delegates, will travel to Ste.Anne de Bellevue to attend the 1985 Alliance Quebec Convention.As the regional presence of Alliance Quebec in the Townships, the Association is pleased to have such a keen representation.The delegates will participate in the policy and thematic workshops, review the business issues of 84-85, select the new Board of Directors and hear many interesting keynote speakers.The Alliance Quebec Convention is always a great opportunity to exchange views on issues of concern with the other representatives of the English-speaking community from all corners of the province.Have a nice week!

RECORD—Wednesday, May 29, 1985 Sports SccarH Oilers just one win away after 5-3 comeback victory over Flyers By John Korobanik EDMONTON (CP) — “Don’t ask me about the penalty shot,’’ were the first words out of Ron Sutter’s mouth.“1 have no comment to make on that.’’ Sutter was stopped on the short-handed penalty shot by Edmonton goaltender Grant Fuhr at 8.47 of the first period with the Flyers Expos start SAN DIEGO (AP) — Andre Dawson figured that a tendency to be overanxious at the plate led to his 0-for-20 batting slump, so the Montreal outfielder adjusted for two hits and three runs batted in Tuesday night in the Expos’ 8-5 National League baseball triumph over San Diego Padres.Dawson put his team ahead 5-4 with a pinch-hit single in the sixth and then broke a 5-5 tie in the eighth with a two-out, two-run double off Rich Gossage.“It’s been probably one of the worst times in my career,” Dawson said.“I do know I was being a little overanxious trying to create things.I just had to make some adjustments.” Dawson’s pinch-hit single into right field came off an inside fastball by Craig Lefferts and Gossage gave up the double to the left-centre field fence.San Diego first baseman Steve Garvey had a home run and a double to drive in three Padre ahead 2-1 and pressing for a bigger lead.Although Murray Craven scored less than three minutes later with the Flyers still killing off a double minor penalty, the Oilers rallied for a 5-3 win and a 3-1 lead in the best-of-even Stanley Cup final."At that point I don’t think the penalty shot had any dramatic ef- runs.Mike Fitzgerald led off the eighth against Gossage, 1-1, with a single and was replaced by pinch-runner Miguel Dilone.U.L.Washington reached first when Gossage slipped and fell, turning the Montreal batter’s sacrifice attempt into a bunt single.Tim Raines sacrificed the runners ahead and, one out later, Dawson delivered his double.Tim Wallach added a runscoring single in the ninth.ROBERGE WINS IT Bert Roberge, 1-1, pitched two innings for the victory and Jeff Reardon pitched the eighth and ninth innings to earn his 13th save, tying Gossage for the major league lead.The Padres had taken a 3-0 lead in the first inning on a double by Tim Flannery and homers by Garvey and Kevin McReynolds, the seventh of the season for both.The Expos began their comeback with a pair of runs in the feet on us,” said forward Brian Propp in the Flyers dressing room.“Wemadeit3-l almostrightaway.If it had come later it could have bothered us.” The Flyers were pleased with their rapid start that saw them surge into a 3-1 lead on goals by Rich Sutter, Todd Bergen on a power play and Craven.third.Starter Bryn Smith walked, Raines followed with a single and two wild pitches by Padre starter Eric Show let Smith score and Raines advance to third.Dan Driessen’s single scored Raines.Montreal tied the game in the fourth on Wallaeh’s double, a fielding error by Show and Fitzgerald’s sacrifice fly.Tony Gwynn’s two-out single and stolen base in the fifth set up a runscoring double by Garvey that put the Padres ahead 4-3.Montreal pulled ahead in the sixth with two runs.Herman Win-ningham tripled off Show, who was relieved by Luis DeLeon.With one out, pinch-hitter Washington singled, scoring Winningham, and took second on left fielder Carmelo Martinez’s error.Washington scored on Dawson’s two-out single off Lefferts.In the bottom of the sixth, a double by Terry Kennedy and Martinez’s single pulled San Diego even at 5-5.road trip with 8-5 win Kidney Foundation ‘Bike-a-Thon’ to kick off fund raising campaign By William Harris SHERBROOKE — The Kidney Foundation of Canada’s sixth annual Eastern Townships (Estrie) ‘Bike-a-Thon’ will be held on Saturday, June 15 at Sherbrooke's Jacques Cartier Park.All proceeds will be donated to kidney research.The Bike-a-Thon is one of many acivities planned to raise money during the Kidney Foundation’s annual fund-raising drive.This year, a goal of $15,000 has been set for the Estrie region.In a press conference held Tues- day, Rénald Belisle, this year’s honorary ‘Bike-a-Thon’ president, said that the event has traditionally played a major roll in the kicking-off of the funding campaign.“For the second consecutive year we’ve adopted a slogan which translates from french as ‘One small turn of the pedal,”’ said Belisle.“As always, we certainly hope that this ‘turn of the pedal’ will get the entire campaign rolling toward its goal.” Belisle also stated that over 1600 Quebec citizens are presently battling with serious kidney disease, and that almost half of these people will require full-scale kidney transplants at some point in their lives.“The cost of researching and performing these life-saving operations is understandably steep,” he added, “and that’s where our foundation tries to step in and lend a hand.” Alain Gagnon, president of the Canadian Kidney Foundation, stated Tuesday that a nice assortment of prizes have been donated by several local companies to help inspire the bicycling participants.“We certainly hope that these prizes won’t be the main reason that anyone enters the Bike-a-Thon,” Gagnon said, “although we do feel that the prizes just might provide a little more incentive for the bikers to work harder, sign-up more pledges, and collect more money for kidney research.” Application forms for all those intersted are available at the local chapter of the Canadian Kidney Foundation (room 6443 of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire), or at numerous banks and stores throughout the Sherbrooke region.fT I RECORD/WILLI AM HARRIS President Alain Gagnon.more incentive.Bird, Johnson top NBA all-stars list NEW YORK (API - Larry Bird of Boston Celtics and Earvin (Magic) Johnson of Los Angeles Lakers, who led their teams into the National Basketball Association championship series, head the official all-NBA first team announced Tuesday.Bird, with 156 points, was named to the first team at toward by all 78 members of the news media panel voting for the squad.He is the first’ unanimous choice since 1982, when he also was named on all ballots.Johnson, a guard, finished se- cond in the voting with 146 points based on two points for each of the 69 first team votes and one for each of the nine second team votes.Completing the first team were guard Isiah Thomas of Detroit Pistons, with 41 first team votes and 112 points overall; centre Moses Malone of Philadelphia 76ers, 40 and 110, and forward Bernard King of New York Knicks, 40 and 107.The closest race was at the centre position, where Malone, the NBA rebounding champion for the fifth straight season, edged Ka- reem Abdul-Jabbar of Los Angeles Lakers by just three points.The squad was selected by three members of the media from each franchise city and nine representatives of the national media.Jabbar received 107 points, including 37 first team votes, to lead the second team all-stars.He was joined by forwards Terry Cummings of Milwaukee, 74 (18), and Ralph Sampson of Houston, 57 (14), and guards Michael Jordan of Chicago, 91 (27), and Sidney Moncrief of Milwaukee, 68 (15).Scoreboard But they weren’t happy with that lead and were extremely disappointed in letting the Oilers come back for the win.“In the first period we were dominant,” said Craven.“We did all the things we wanted to do.If we had any breaks around the net it would have been 4-1 or 5-1 and a different game.We need a few breaks.“A big difference between our clubs is (Wayne) Gretzky makes breaks for them.We don’t have a player like him.” The Flyers were especially disappointed with their penalty killing that allowed Edmonton to score four power-play goals, two by Gretzky.‘‘The power plays turned it around,” agreed Propp.“We had played them well in previous games but tonight they were shooting more.” Defenceman Brad Marsh said it was “only a matter of time before they score on the power play.” “We can’t be playing in the box against the Edmonton Oilers.At five to five we were extremely even.” Defenceman Paul Coffey scored the first Edmonton power-lay goal at 4:22 of the first period, a long shot from the point that caught goaltender Pelle Lindbergh far out of position.“I thought he was going to pass it over,” confessed Lindbergh who was replaced for the third period by Bob Froese.“It wasn’t really that hard a shot but I was moving sideways so I missed it.” Charlie Huddy got another Edmonton power-play goal at 18:23 of the period, again on a long shot.“I didn’t see it,” said Lindbergh.Flyer coach Mike Keenan said he replaced Lindbergh for the third period because his netminder was tired.‘‘I pulled him the first time because he needed a drink of water,” Keenan said of pulling Lindbergh for about 10 seconds in the second period.“I pulled him the second time because I felt he was was tiring from dehydration setting in.He needed to be rested.” Glenn Anderson scored Edmonton’s only even-strength goal 21 seconds into the second period.“That was the big goal,” said Craven."It was still 3-3 then and we didn’t have a letdown.But it got them going.They came out in the second and third period and took the game away from us.” Gretzky scored power-play goals at 12:53 of the second period and 3:42 of the third to stymie any Flyer comeback hopes.The Oilers can win their second straight championship with another victory at home Thursday night.RKCOR[>PERRY BEATON BCS wins provincial rugby title The action was fast and furious in Lennoxville on Tuesday afternoon as Bishop’s College School defeated Montreal’s

Pirates are finding out that it’s just as difficult to sell a loser.The Pirates, who haven’t risen from last place in the National League East since mid-April 1984, have been for sale since Nov.l,but club treasurer Doug McCormick says there are no offers on the table.The original March 1 sale deadline imposed by club president Dan Galbreath has long since passed, and McCormick now says the end of the season is a more realistic target.The Pirates were one of the baseball’s strongest on-the-field fran- chises during the 1970s, although they never drew more than 1.7 million fans even in their most successful seasons A team filled with such recognizable names as Roberto Clemente, Willie Stargell, Dave Parker and John Candelaria won two World Series, two National League titles and six NL East titles between 1970 and 1979.FACE LONG SLUMP But in the five seasons since, the Pirates have finished no better than second and have twice finished last in the NL East, including during the second half of the strike-shortened 1981 split season.And if there has ever been a worse time to sell a team that is short on both victories and paying customers, it is now.For example: — The Pirates were the only National League team failing to draw at least 1 million customers last season.They drew only 773,500, or an average of 10,100 for each home game — less than half the per-game average of 28,000 they drew on the road.— The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette recently asked readers, “If the Pirates were to leave the city, would you care?” Of the 2,840 readers responding, 38 per cent replied either “No” (20 per cent) or “no strong feeling” (18 per cent).HOCKEY NHL Slanlsy Cup Final (MsLri-iavM) (All limat EOT!
